ron wyden looking straight at the camera and saying “taxation is the compromise”

The goddamn nerve of Jeff Bezos' newspaper to talk shit about raising the minimum wage at a moment when workers at Jeff Bezos' online superstore -- who are paid so little half of them in one study were on SNAP benefits -- are going hungry. The fucking arrogance.

Who wants to break it to @audacityofdespair.bsky.social that its director claims that trainwreck-tv show (that will not be named) will one day take its place alongside The Wire? GTFOH www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

An entire review about white men cutting down forests (with an acknowledgment of persecution of Chinese immigrant) but not a single, solitary word about the genocide, or the continued presence of Native Americans. More erasure. #StolenLand www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Let's write together in 2026! If you're looking to jumpstart your memoir project—or are already underway & want some support to maintain momentum or figure out next steps—this @thewriterscenter.bsky.social workshop is for you. We'll meet twice a month, starting in February; learn more + apply here:

They muff-aletta him go.

Excessive force. PERIOD! They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor. 📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents. I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

This is officially one of the strangest pictures in American history, and I do not doubt that it will be considered iconic a hundred years from now. 100% serious here.

plus what if women have sex with immigrants of their own free will and, possibly, babies?

When I wrote REFUSE TO BE DONE, I figured where everyone would throw the book across the room or ask for their money back was when I suggested the total rewrite second draft—which I actually think might be the most important part of my process? It's been so great to see it work for so many people!

two weeks or so ago I had the pleasure of conveying notable cowboy-wizard-sci-fi-author Samuel Delany to his induction to the American academy of arts and sciences

Tillamook is changing its name to Tillyapuke

Cutting off SNAP in order to starve a population into submission is a war crime.

More info about Marta Leiva, the woman I witnessed being assaulted by plainclothed men in the SLC airport last week. She has a work permit legal through 2029, mom of 4 with sick kids: www.ksl.com/article/5139... You can donate to her gofundme for legal expenses: www.gofundme.com/f/apoya-madr...

all you really need to know that andrews is an idiot is that she is an unrepentant white supremacist but if you needed any more evidence you could just listen to her attempt to reason

The really special thing about JD Vance's fake Native American child sacrifice shit is the way in which he and his cronies are simultaneously currently engaging in widespread child sacrifice via starvation.

next week: are women human?

Let's take a peek in at the people who spent the last 50 years calling for patriots to water the tree of liberty with blood, who hung Obama in effigy, who cheered the murders of Michael Brown and George Floyd, who stormed the Capitol to steal an election... Oh look at these fucking snowflakes

I wrote for @slate.com about a legendary (and violent) Tennessee sheriff who more likely than not murdered his wife and the people who want to keep him on a pedestal. slate.com/news-and-pol...

In my brief time as an op-ed editor (<year), Brettbug Stephens argued Ashkenazis might be genetically superior, & Tom Cotton called for violence against George Floyd protestors. Some of us were constantly pushing back. I met with Sulzberger multiple times. Lip service was given, nothing changed.

Very exciting to see activists launching a new nonprofit today to keep building on the community of volunteers that came together to get Mamdani elected. Our Time is a 501(c)(4) and plans to start events in December.

We just inked a contract for *Green Bay* It will be…22? 23? in the series

American Society of Mikeys just updated their power rankings. Congratulations on NJ Governor-elect Mikie Sherrill for coming in at #2 behind Mutant Ninja Turtle Emeritus Mikey L Angelo

💥

Our message to Andrew Cuomo was loud & clear in June. It’s louder & clearer tonight.

This is totally winnable for @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social - late ballots will tend to break her way.

People who are leaving NYC, please post pix of your U-Hauls!

Man, it feels good to have voted for the winner! It's been a while! #MayorMamdani

Autocorrect STILL changing the spelling of Zohran Mamdani. SMH.

I’m gonna need someone to make sure Libby and Debra don’t break their Manolos when they stomp their racist feet watching the NYC mayoral results.

begging with my entire heart for election results across the map which force the Dems to finally begin internalizing the lesson that throwing trans people under the bus is going to fuck them repeatedly

score one for "the pundits are projecting their own preoccupations onto the electorate"

I don't know what will happen in NYC tonight, but I do know that regardless of outcome, any number of public figures, celebrities, politicians and institutions that oppose Mamdani have done so with a level of rhetorical ugliness, racism, and dishonesty that should neither be forgotten nor forgiven.

You have to survive. There are graves to piss on that haven't been dug yet.

This is what she's posting rn fyi. Just pure racism!

This brutal review is a chef's kiss. There is high art in this type of review www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

The news about Teen Vogue is terrible, the latest in the long list of corporate-owned media layoffs, closures, and shifting tone and coverage. There are so many great independent outlets, a list too long but this is a fantastic starter pack. PLEASE pick a few & support them if you're able.

Olympic-level shooting yourself in the fucking foot to destroy the parts of your magazine that garnered awards and huge traffic/circulation increases just so you can fire all your employees of color which I’m forced to conclude was the goal

Ask any of your favorite Black women writers from a decade ago why their bylines stopped appearing, and you’ll likely hear the same response: There is no place for us in media. In TV. In publishing or academia. For the majority of us, there’s no place but gone.

Long live Guilloteen Vogue

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

I’m doing research for a project and found out about the “don’t buy where you can’t work” movement during the depression, where Black people boycotted and picketed places that wouldn’t hire us. Shout out to everyone who’s not going back to Target!

The only time the wealthy fled NYC was during the pandemic.

"HOW WILL ZOHRAN PAY FOR FREE BUSES" screamed the Staten Islanders who have a free ferry

Congratulations, Andrew Cuomo! I know how hard you worked for this.

One of my characters in my WIP is insistent that she needs to write poetry so that’s what we’re going to do. Christ, I’m mortified for both of us, but what choice do I have? #writing

I know most folks won’t care, but Lee Dixon from Manchester and Gary Neville from Bury makes me feel all warm. Lee has my dad’s accent and Gary has my mum’s. Dead chuffed by it all.
