To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.

A List of Things Said to Have Been Ruined by Women 🧵

i don't think lame-ass white people should be allowed to appropriate asian things y'all keep doing it and y'all fucked up matcha too

the past is a foreign country, and yet it isn't there have been six korean republics in the modern era; they are different, but they are not before the republics was a dark time before that was an empire, and before that, kingdoms same, but different

I spit on the reputation of the U.S. Supreme Court, not that it can get much more degraded than it has already become by the repulsive actions of its disgusting GOP members. You can hear the transphobic sneer in these words.

Claiming that correctly gendering trans people is “differential treatment” is like claiming that it’s not biased to let everyone have straight marriages, even if they’re gay.

american passports did not have a gender marker until 1976.

My favorite comment on the FT story

BREAKING: The Supreme Court granted the Trump administration's request to enforce its discriminatory passport policy while our lawsuit makes its way through the courts. This decision undermines the freedom of transgender, non-binary, and intersex people to have our IDs reflect who we are.

For @msnbc.com I wrote about how Tuesday's election gives Democrats the blueprint for overcoming Republican anti-trans attacks and how thus should settle all the talk about throwing trans people under the bus. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

I'm starting to think the stock market might not have as much to do with business fundamentals as I've been told by white men in suits

guarantee that it won't be face shape but skin tone they use for this

trump's design sense is that of a cheap resort with pretensions to luxury and the font choice and gold here just emphasize it this is a myrtle beach timeshare community, ca. 1996

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Today's newsletter is about the awful and extremely political decision to gut Teen Vogue for parts www.readtpa.com/p/teen-vogue...

The way all of these people convinced themselves that Mamdani is antisemitic is a subject far more worthy of media examination than any of the ‘groupthink on campuses!’ thinkpieces we’ve been subjected to

a sandwich? or a hero? could be a sub.

there is no such thing as a good Nazi, and there is no such thing as a good ice agent. anyway, every single person working for and with ice gets a single unlit and piss-soaked cigarette butt before they face the wall that is the m̶o̶d̶e̶r̶a̶t̶e̶ merciful, generous, *forgiving* position

i will never vote for Gavin Newsom. i want every other politician to look at how badly Newsom destroyed his own political career by pivoting to fascism & see it as a clear warning that the dignity of marginalized people is not negotiable.

TRANS RIGHTS ARE A WINNING POLITICAL ISSUE Every single centrist claiming we must all compromise our bodily autonomy for their personal comfort is a traitor to American democracy & rational human decency. They have no place in a modern Democratic Party, toss them out. Total liberation for all.

Exactly this. Especially this in the wake of Mamdani. Any politician that pivots or pivoted to a campaign of fascism should get the ending to their political career they deserve

Breaking the 12 year long GOP supermajority in Mississippi seems like a big deal. A bunch of Black women mayors seems like a big deal. Can’t wait for the hot “How Democrats winning is bad news for Democrats” takes.

now that it's the day after democrats ran the tables, more or less, I can't wait to see how democratic leadership fouls the three point shot from the one yard line

Republicans running anti-trans hatefests lost and Zohran Mamdani is a hugely vocal supporter of trans and other LGBTQ rights. That is MASSIVELY important to look at and run on. Roll around in all this & soak it in. This is the good shit, & it should be celebrated. And then it should be Built on.

but also, politicians who did use transphobia as a campaign issue will never face justice for the trans lives they destroyed along the way. in a just world they would be demonized and ostracized and threatened, and their lives would be a constant anxiety fueled hellscape.

I've always loved this anecdote from Mira Nair, filmmaker and mother of Zohran Mamdani, about pitching a studio exec on MISSISSIPPI MASALA (1991) and being told he'd only fund it if it had more white people "I said, 'Well, all the waiters in this film will be white. Of that, I can promise you.'"

This election suggests something interesting: the massive local GOP losses says the bad Democratic Party brand is salvageable, *if* the Third Way-style accommodationists are boxed out of leadership. Voters want to fight Trump and will support a pretty wide range of candidates to do it.

Like, I know fighting the fash is the thing to do, but let’s be real: establishment Dems are allergic to progressive leftist successes like we’ve seen tonight and they absolutely will organize to stifle any momentum emerging from these victories if the victors don’t toe the line.

Now that these folks have proven beyond a doubt that they can win on such “controversial” positions like Trans rights, it’s going to be incumbent on all of us to stay the fucking course and keep establishment Dems on their heels for the foreseeable future.

Absolutely insane. Labour would have purged and smeared someone like Zohran Mamdani. Wes Streeting's politics align far more closely with Andrew Cuomo. The lessons from Mamdani are about how to defeat both the right - and the bankrupt "centre".

She-Wolf's a banger, too

just want to remind everyone again that zohran is the one cis candidate i am aware of that had his platform on trans rights written by trans people. i think that matters

Last night we heard Cuomo didn’t even attend his election night party, today we learn in the Free Press that Solomon Kinloch hasn’t conceded to Mary Sheffield despite getting only 22% of the vote, are men too emotional to govern? www.freep.com/story/news/p...

The 'ground zero mosque' controversy happened only 10 years ago. I know things look bleak but as an elderly millennial, it's good to see visible evidence that change is in fact still possible

Between anti trans campaign ads failing last night spectacularly and rep Seth Moulton walking back his anti trans rhetoric, it seems like the slide on support for trans people has been stopped for now. It's still precarious but this was the best possible night we could have had.

This is not to put down any of the other interesting stats, of course; there’s a lot, including that he won hardest among women in white voters, but among men in every other measured racial group. He lost among incomes above $300k/yr (huge surprise!), but also BELOW $30k/yr (?!).

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

Still thinking about Zohran’s full-throated defense of immigration and how long i’ve waited for it. No bullshit about border security or “legal” immigrants but just unabashed support for immigrants. How many people feel so much more seen today? I know I do. 1/

I'd moved to Manhattan the year before. I was 23 when it happened. Americans who otherwise denigrated NYC as full of liberals and fags claiming 9/11 as an attack on THEM and then using it for Islamophobia and racism was the most offensive thing I'd seen in my life thus far. They do not deserve NYC.

If we learn nothing else tonight, please PLEASE let's learn that the American people were NOT won over by an absolute firehose of the most vile dehumanization of trans people. Please @democrats.org, for the love of God and all that's holy, let's FINALLY start refusing to throw ANYone under ANY bus.

far too many people seem to think their ignorance about something means nobody else could possibly have known either

Mamdani: Whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many black women that Donald Trump has fired from a federal job, a single mom still waiting for the cost of groceries to go down, or anyone else with their back against the wall—your struggle is ours too

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

"What we see, I think, are a bunch of rich guys who have been comically out of touch with normal people for many decades, and more recently have blowtorched their brains into a smoking pile of ash on Elon Musk’s Twitter/X and in various group chats." prospect.org/2025/11/04/a...

Today is an absolute rebuke of anti-transgender politics, and a real sign that the anti-trans panic is fading. From VA Gov to Loudoun County to New Jersey to New York City and Pennsylvania, anti-trans Republicans are falling left and right.

It's been a half hour since the AP called it for Mamdani and already I see some people wringing their hands about how the cards are stacked against him, and to them I say, my friends, learn to enjoy a fucking moment, they didn't come around near enough, the man of the hour is partying, take the hint

Terrible scenes just minutes into the new socialist regime in New York as literally hundreds of billionaires discover mamdani already living rent free in their heads
