Here’s a fun fact: More than 1000 people have signed up at runforwhat.net to run for office since last night. 😈😈😈

finance guys on twitter are like "can't believe zohran hired lina khan. she wants to make it illegal to bundle memecoin futures into junk stocks and sell them to public worker pension plans. the public won't stand for it."

The trauma this administration is deliberately inflicting on families and children cannot be emphasized enough. Enough!!!

Only @dieworkwear.bsky.social can help us make sense of what the suit/bodysuit combo situation on the right is

Here's a photo of the old Chicago streetcar rails under Western Ave. that have been uncovered by construction. I took this from the Brown Line platform.

As someone who knows a child sex abuse whistleblower whose career was derailed by telling the truth, this is bravery. She could not be sure her truth telling would end this way

“They came into the building understanding it was a daycare. They did not have a warrant. It is a violation of our rights. It is a violation of these children’s rights. They are terrorizing our community.” Trump’s ICE goons raided a damn daycare.

It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column

Me on my bike

By this time next week, the estimated deaths due to the illegal destruction of USAID and the shuttering of its aid efforts will breach 400,000. More than 260,000 will be children. Source: www.bu.edu/sph/news/art...

Once again I just never find parodies of Trump to be funny, but the rest of this had me howling

My high school friends’ conservative suburb of Cincinnati just swept out the book banning school board but ok dude

Inexplicably, the pro-ballroom vote failed to materialize last night

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.

Is the fact that Nuzzi became an editor at Vanity Fair related to the strangling of Teen Vogue yesterday? Just connected those dots.

Back to work everyone. We Bostonians need to do more than vote.

8 states pay for universal free school lunch. All 50, when?

Reducing car use in urban areas a “very significant road safety tool” — RSA-funded research Reducing car use in urban areas is a "very significant road safety tool", while pedestrian priority has "very significant potential" for safety in our villages, towns, and cities, according to TU Dublin…

Didn’t hear anyone note this, but look how Mamdani waves at the crowd when he comes out: no UK-esque queen’s wave, but a motion that in the Muslim world means, roughly, “hey, come closer!” It’s also worth watching the whole thing. He acknowledges his team. He loves his parents and his wife.

Word of the day!

This person took this when they called the race

I cannot stress that the work that people have been doing for years in the southeast is paying off and needs to be celebrated.

And this is why the corporate class shut down Teen Vogue.

What’s a get out the vote org in TX I can send $$ to?

Ok I know she won last month, but Wu is going to stay on in Boston too!!! I keep seeing people leave her off the list. She trounced Bob Kraft’s boy!!!

Next week's @newyorker.com cover. www.newyorker.com/culture/cove...

Ooh someone just reminded me that Mamdani is in favor of weight based vehicle excise taxes

Big win for NYC congestion pricing tonight?

tired: leaders throw folks under the bus wired: leaders invite folks on the bus in a dedicated lane

Imagine if Trump lost it and fires Miller first thing in the morning

If we had lost Virginia, there was a very real chance that we’d be losing abortion access in the state, which would be a disaster especially for us in DC, which couldn’t possibly absorb all those patients. Watching with my abortion fund board member hat on, these results are a tremendous relief.

Maybe people actually are fucking pissed, can't wait for media to keep dismissing No Kings protests

One young voter in New Jersey on CNN right now: “Honestly, the last few days [of shutdown] have been scary for a lot of Americans. And while we’re sitting here struggling and worried, they’re building a ballroom.” 🎯

Omg I’m dying 😂😂😂…so…So Emily Austin, a right wing 'influencer' who works for Bibi and the GOP, launched 'Hot Girls for Cuomo'. Guess who didn't bother to register the URL when she did that? What do you think Hot Girls for Cuomo dot com leads to now?... 😄 Enjoy. [ HotGirlsforCuomo.com ]

All we need is the next Teddy Roosevelt. Except not racist. Who will it be?

This is a big freaking deal. 43% equals 147M Americans. Wow. Just wow.

Had to drive my 18 year old to the polls last minute tonight because he walked by the polling station earlier this afternoon, and he realized he didn’t have his ID so he didn’t go in. There is no ID requirement in Massachusetts. Example 3,487 of how voter ID laws suppress voting everywhere

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

just....enjoy this

As we're remembering that Dick Cheney killed a million Iraqis, remember that the death toll from cutting USAID funding will be still larger than that. www.npr.org/sections/goa...

Am I just becoming a curmudgeon, or are stories in @bostonglobe “The Big Day” &@nytimes.com “Modern Love” just an example of society’s unfettered narcissistic tendencies? I really hate them. It’s like people’s self-aggrandizing FB posts brought into long form journalism. There. I said it.

Another depressing story about the damage these goons are doing, another reminder you can count on @motherjones.com to keep doing important reporting while CBS etc melt like the wicked witch. It’s about $25/yr to subscribe to print. Do it today, in honor of Cheney.

Maine, vote to help prevent mass shootings by dangerous people today #vote2025
