The entire “Americans want pro corporate liberal centrism” project has failed, and an entire industry that runs on pretending otherwise is panicking. It isn’t just that they don’t want to move the party to the left; they don’t understand HOW to. They’ve literally never thought about it.

To be clear: this entire “we’ve got to run more pro-lifers” insanity is because literally a week ago polling showed that Democrats would prefer politicians like AOC and Mamdani over Jefferies and Schumer by, let me emphasize this, a 20 point fucking margin. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Kyle Reese: I’m from the future. AI has taken over. Sarah Connor: How are you gonna stop it? Kyle: Can you teach me to make a Zine? Sarah: Like with comics & songs & stuff? Kyle: That’ll do it. Sarah: You can kill the superintelligent robot with Zines. Kyle: Oh yeah. It’s actually pretty mid.

Audre Lorde in 1953, about to leave for Mexico.

We should convince them the rapture did in fact happen on tuesday and they were too sinful to go. As a bit.

I would strongly argue that you will understand what the New York Times has become much better if you understand that they soft launched the new NYT with their trans coverage, and have been building and expanding from there. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

This chaos also speaks to the growing awareness of the profound corruption of the Supreme Court. The excessive H1B fee is clearly illegal according to the text of the applicable statute. But no one can have any confidence anymore that it will ultimately be thrown out.

It’s amazing the corruption speed run we’re on here this weekend, even for this administration.

tl;dr its bad nymag.com/intelligence...

It would appear that uncritically funding the people that hate us so much that they mint coins commemorating body counts instead of listening to the people who said that the institutional rot within the police is so deeply engrained that they represent a danger to us all has mysteriously backfired.

The way to defeat authoritarians—is to become one! @nytimes.com rapidly becoming the Nazism for liberals "news" outlet.

If you are involved in the arts in any way, you should know about Fall of Freedom. Let’s do something about this, together www.falloffreedom.com

They’re putting in place a patronage network. Instead of open, accountable structures, public goods will be allocated to courtiers.

Being nice to trans people really did turn out to be a load bearing part of liberal democracy ey

can't stop thinking of how little kids died in chapel, praying on the first day of fall term, but somehow Charlie Kirk--a man who accepted school shootings as the guarantor of unconstrained gun access--is the martyr. may God have mercy on the innocent; Charlie Kirk was not of them.

I wrote about what the desperate attempt to find a trans connection to the Charlie Kirk assassination tells us about the deep psychological impulses at work in Trumpism. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/19/o...

I did Oxford-style debate in high school. I was good at it. Third speaker, so tearing down the other side was my job. We were good, too. Made regionals—rare for a public school. What I learned is that "debate" is a rhetorical art that has nothing to do with anything except winning.

I think the problem with rallying around the most privileged when they've been targeted is that it never trickles down. they're touted as examples for "all of us" but it's not actually true.

The old Jesus was too "liberal" so american white christians made themselves another one but without all that empathy

Tuesday Sept 23 7pm @hivemindbookstore.bsky.social I'm reading with Artur K, @emializh.bsky.social, Nuria Patrcia, Mohammed Zenia and Slant Rhyme in conjunction with artist Mona Filleul's Sissy Institute show at the Swiss Institute.

Rob Bonta (California), Anthony Brown (Maryland), Andrea Campbell (Massachusetts), Charity Clark (Vermont), Keith Ellison (Minnesota), Letitia James (New York), Kathy Jennings (Delaware), Dana Nessel (Michigan), and Dan Rayfield (Oregon) each stating "I promise to fight for trans students."

please bro just let us sacrifice one more minority. bro please i promise everything will be good bro your material conditions will improve if you let us scapegoat one more minority bro

the history will continue until morale improves

Old enough to have witnessed the shift from "a trans woman is the worst thing a person can be" to "a trans woman is the worst thing a society can have"

I signed the Harper's letter to show I was brave enough to stand up to the left on free speech. But I've decided that I'm not brave enough to stand up to the right about it.

Eve Babitz knows how to end male loneliness.

Press warned to back up as DHS police take lawmakers were taken away in zip ties, among them Comptroller Brad Lander and 10 other state reps including Bobby Carol, Marcela Mitayanes, Julia Salazar, Emily Gallagher, Jabari Brisport, Jessica Gonzalez Rojas,... story TK

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

First track on our first release after reforming in 2022. I like this one a lot, largely for the privilege of collaborating with the brilliant @mckenziewark.bsky.social

This was from banning trans girls from girls sports. Just so you understand the reality of what's going on here.

I'm still amazed that the Trump campaign had a report that was widely publicized months before the election which outlined everything they are doing now and seemingly no one in the Democratic party made a plan for how to respond. Like, didn't anybody ask, "So, what should we do if we *don't* win?"

Bushwick NYC | Tuesday Sept 23 7pm | I'm reading with this stellar line-up at @hivemindbookstore.bsky.social 219 Irving avenue BK | RSVP here www.hivemindbooks.com/events/35342...

I'm gonna just say this: if you are a trans person, you need to have other trans people in your life that you can co-regulate with and you need to talk to them more than you talk to Bluesky. This app is a firehose of terror and bad news for us and it's going to tie your amygdala in a damn knot.

Awful and dangerous to hear the Mayor echo the transphobic bigotry coming from the Trump administration. It's completely at odds with the values of our city and another reason why his single, disgraced term in office cannot end soon enough.

I really can’t stop thinking about this article by @mckenziewark.bsky.social I found it while looking for something else she wrote, but it’s perfectly tangential to something I’ve been thinking about lately (pretty girl media) and will write a substack on soon www.frieze.com/article/mcke...

Black women and trans people this week: yes, protest! But safely and smartly White men who have led us into this mess: no that's stupid, you're stupid- you fucking coward.

I call this piece the “Hypocrisy of Rosenbury: A story of American Fascism”

If this is what it took for you to be pushed into fascism you were probably already there

Serious brain rot.

were to be around him at any time for any reason due to his habitual sexual harassment and assaults. Frank Miller released one of the most savagely Islamophobic comics of all time, HOLY TERROR, and still works with DC. There are pedophiles, war criminals, confessed sexual predators on staff.

One thing I'll say about DC not only canceling Red Hood, but recalling the first issue and refunding stores for buying it, is that you can still get Neil Gaiman's work through them. They still work with Otto Schmidt. Eddie Berganza worked there for years AFTER the formation of a policy that no women
