those of us laid off from Teen Vogue were really fortunate to complete our fundraising goal — the laid-off staffers at VIBE deserve the same support, as Black media outlets and journalists continue to be targeted and discriminated against in “austerity” measures

I love receiving multiple Republican fundraising texts addressed to my dad every day. And I love how no amount of unsubscribing or reporting as spam does anything to stop it.

Wait OK so Epstein was advising Larry Summers on how to sexually harass his student while simultaneously emailing Summers' wife about the book Lolita. The emails were sent just a few weeks apart.

Rich elites / people with rich elite donors being like, "Hold on a second now, I don't think we really need to expose the dark secrets of rich elites."

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

republicans believe poor people deserve to suffer because they're lazy and weak, whereas the democrats have a much lengthier explanation

It's as important to stop this as the stuff at the top. Because it's all the same system. This is where Epstein's victims and clients come from. Virginia Giuffre was prey to Maxwell bc she'd been abused all her life & had nowhere to turn. Perps are so brazen bc they're told over & over it's fine.

It cannot be remembered enough that these were the same people who got worked up about drag brunches

This is what male solidarity & collective action to oppress women looks like: Artist Andres Serrano--successful, but nowhere near the same class as Thiel & other billionaires in the files--stating that he'll vote for Trump, despite his politics, out of *sympathy* with T's sexual assaults on women.

Matt Gaetz was just sitting there doing nothing when all of a sudden his political career was upended by a homeless teenager!

Michael Wolff, Steve Bannon and Jeffrey Epstein taking time out of their day covering up the world's most famous pedophile ring to complain about Ta-Nehesi Coates.

Just checkin' the facts!

WATCH: @raskin.house.gov explains the deal that would allow eight GOP senators lucrative lawsuits over phone record subpoenas: "It's certainly the most corrupt provision authorizing financial self-dealing and plunder of the public passed by Congress in this century."

Imagine what an actual opposition party could do right now.

Guys, stop reading the Epstein emails, it clearly states at the end of each one that we're not allowed to.

"For some reason, I feel compelled to assert that the class of people I'm directly abusing and exploiting are naturally inferior to me..."

jeffery epstein, fresh from his busy day of illegal sexual trafficking with the most powerful politicians and figures in the world: time to email my friends about this on my gmail account

Not only did a different Lauren O'Neal use my email address to sign up for a Bath & Body Works reward account, she spelled her own name wrong while doing so.

After being up all last night coughing, I figured taking a Sudafed with the rest of my cold meds could only help. I have now been lying in bed awake for three straight hours.

Me writing the script where James Bond dramatically dies: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!! Me writing the script for the next James Bond movie: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

We're not "internal." We had no say. That's why we're mad.

Blinkist is a company that summarizes books so you don't have to read the whole thing.

"Albeit without evidence"?? "ALBEIT WITHOUT EVIDENCE"??

We understand that it works to screw us over, that's what we don't like about it.

I think the Establishment Dem leadership are Lucy and we're Charlie Brown, actually.

I particularly hate the suggestion there's some sort of grand bargain in which trans rights are given up in exchange for _______. No one is offering such a thing. No one would change their vote to Dems after that. The argument exists solely to justify throwing trans people under the bus.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Imagine being so bad at posting that you have to buy Twitter and change the algorithm to force people to read your shit, and then the world's best poster comes along and casually annihilates you in between parentheses.

I love watching British TV shows where it sounds like they're addressing every female authority future as "Mom."

Btw this is what the term "emotional labor" was originally coined to describe.

This is also the third headline I've seen about him changing his tone after being elected; the others were about him dropping his "conciliatory" or "mollifying" tone. As far as I can tell, this "change" is 100% imaginary. His messaging has been consistent and unchanging the whole time.

One of Zohran's campaign promises was to raise New York's corporate tax rate to match New Jersey's, which is currently higher.

I like how Ethan Hawke's character in The Lowdown is just if Ethan Hawke's character in Reality Bites grew up in Oklahoma.

This thread is almost too horrifying to read.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

This is helpful!

More people have died in ICE custody in last 9 months than in the entire prior 4 years. We hear of a few, but most barely make the news. Cases like Randall Alberto Gamboa Esquivel. He was in perfect health when ICE detained him. He disappeared in June & by August was in a vegetative state.

As usual, @katemckean.bsky.social is right about everything. (Subscribe to her newsletter here: www.agentsandbooks.com)

what does he think happens at a Shabbat dinner

don’t miss your chance to work with Jess, one of the all-time greats!

"'They’re spending more money than I would even tax them,' [Mamdani] said in an interview with MSNBC last week." This is the message. Make it clear that these billionaires aren't just worried about losing money. They're worried about losing the ability to exchange their money for power.

He was put on this earth for one purpose: so Phoebe Bridgers could write "Motion Sickness" about what a piece of shit he is.

Cuomo turned Adams from his hater to his waiter at the table of failure lmao

In 2019, in Astoria, a candidate for state assembly handed me a flyer in a subway station. I saw the DSA rose on it and said, "I'll vote for you." Now that guy's going to be my mayor, and I'm going to be insufferable about being an early adopter for the rest of my life.

I can't believe something good happened, billionaires and racists tried as hard as they could to undo it, and we still made the good thing happen.
