Sandwich-Hurling DC Protestor Found Not Guilty on Assault Charges

New: Conde Nast fired four employees who were among a group that confronted the company's head of human resources on Wednesday over the decision to fold Teen Vogue into Vogue/recent cuts. Employees who were fired included journalists from the New Yorker, Wired, and Bon Appétit.

“The Trump administration and Mike Johnson are running a pedophile protection program,” Jeffries told reporters in the Capitol. “That’s what they’ve been doing, and that’s the reason why they refuse to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva, for weeks now.” thehill.com/homenews/hou...

“She was elected in late September, decisively,” Jeffries said Monday. “And Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva still hasn’t been sworn in, because she’ll become the 218th vote on an up-or-down piece of legislation that will require the Department of Justice to release the Epstein files.”

I was too late in sharing this. The 11.30 session is booked up but you can sign up for the next session happening in 2026 which I will be co-sponsoring so will make sure to share info about sooner: cryptpad.fr/form/#/2/for...

If the sandwich don’t split, you must acquit

my sabo-tabby will place a 40 year curse on you if you don’t buy THE COMPETITION OF UNFINISHED STORIES, out today with @sandorfpassage.bsky.social 🖤

I wish I could show you all the joyous photos and videos being shared on Muslim and South Asian WhatsApp right now with people reacting to Mamdani's victory. It's really beautiful and cathartic. So many years of anti-Muslim bigotry, racism & hate. And all those tears are now sugar for our chai.

“Whatever role Mamdani plays, immigrants rights’ advocates and local leaders aren’t waiting for his inauguration to begin preparing for the possibility of expanded ICE raids or the deployment of the National Guard.” Orgs are also preparing, looking to Chicago as a model of community resistance.

I‘m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Qamar. Qamar has three children Elias, 5 and twins Abdul and Muhammad who are two and a half. Elias was born with cerebral palsy and has a variety of health issues, including lung problems for the smoke from the wood stove in their tent.

Please help Ruaa if you can

Just had my flight from Phoenix to Tucson canceled for this very reason. One after it’s not flying either. Nada till tomorrow

I just handshook AND fist-bumped— twice! — with a driver named Mohamed waiting for his fare at the airport in Phoenix. 💖 I was walking past to get a shuttle and he says, “How you doing, sir?” I say, “Zohran won! I am so happy!” Handshake and convo and fist bumps ensued. 😍😘 What a moment this is!

If yesterday taught us anything, it’s that you don’t know what’s viable or what’s possible til you at least try. We actually don’t have to take what we’re given. If enough of us get together and touch and agree we can do, create, and have better.

Many headlines will say it’s a miraculous one-year campaign. In a narrow way, it is. But it’s more…it’s the building of structures over multiple campaigns that won and lost, learned how to communicate and deliver, and built leadership at all levels.

This is a landslide. The last NYC mayoral candidate to clear 1 million votes was John Lindsay—over 50 years ago. It will be dismissed by pundits saying it can only happen in New York. That's garbage. Think pledging to freeze rent and offer childcare won't resonate in Nevada? Wisconsin? Texas?

“To get to any of us, you will have to go through all of us” ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

I was out several hours talking to voters in Sheepshead Bay. The ones who weren’t for Zohran were so angry and closed; the ones who were for Zohran were so happy and alive. Now on my way to a watch party with @surjnyc.bsky.social and I can’t even tell you how much I love this city right now

Wow. 2025 NYC mayoral turnout has already exceeded total 2021 turnout BEFORE NOON.

when I asked where I should stand, the cop said he didn’t know but to be safe could I walk a block away. When I asked to talk to the pollsite supervisor the cop he was just like “look it’s just my job to get you to move” And like listen, I’m fine and I flagged it to NYCLU but what the fuck BOE

every Election Day something new and interesting happens. Today I had the cops called on me for allegedly being too close to the pollsite (I was about 350-400 feet from the entrance, way past the no electioneering signage, this is my like 50th pollsite visibility shift).

The moment I was waiting for

This afternoon I'll be in Sheepshead Bay with @surjnyc.bsky.social asking Zohran voters to text three friends to get to the polls; tonight's our watch party; and tomorrow I fly to Tucson for the @littranslate.bsky.social conference, where our @nwu.org translators crew will be organizing 4 events! ❤️‍🔥

Even just that we’d realize something else is POSSIBLE, rather than buying their lie that only dogshit is Realistic Politics.

The sandwich: a dramatic reading

THREAD!!! ❤️‍🔥💖💝

No, you cannot top that

"This is part of a lifelong struggle, not an electoral one." HELL yeah

If you are in NYC, you should get out to vote if you can. You should absolutely NOT vote for Cuomo. Then whatever happens, join a local organization and fight for the city we all deserve. The work continues.

Happy #ElectionDay, New York!⁠ ⁠ Polls are open statewide from 6am-9pm. Remember, if you are in line to vote when the polls close, stay in line! ⁠ ⁠ If you notice any issues at the polls, get in touch with the Election Protection hotline at 866-OUR-VOTE.

1/5 EXCLUSIVE: I’m in Kampala, Uganda, where I’ll be living & reporting this month. Since it’s @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social’s hometown, I wanted to share a bit of the pride the people of Kampala have on NYC’s Election Day for their hometown boy (full video here, feel free w credit to thrashery)

It's publication day for Read This When Things Fall Apart! So grateful to our contributors and to @akpress.org for making this book a reality. This is a strange time to be promoting a book, but I believe it's a text that has the potential to help us right now. Please get yourself a copy. ❤️

Just in: Zohran Mamdani says he's voting yes on ballot questions 1-5 and no on 6.

I still haven’t hit my goal, and JC is still four and a half thousand dollars short of their target for this year. Please donate whatever you can! Shares appreciated ✨

This made me chuckle

Shares matter more than my words. Support is down 34%; most contributions are from folks who clicked "weekly" or "monthly"—which people are now canceling. Six families, food, a C-section, medicine for a lupus patient, shelter. 22 hours left. 0/1000 chuffed.org/project/hope...

billionaires have invested in media not because they support journalism but because they want to control it. there is only downside to a free press for people with that level of wealth. journalism is a great equalizer and they don’t want us to be equal.

100%

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

It shouldn’t take nearly a DECADE to fire a killer cop – officer Wayne Isaacs should’ve been fired when he killed unarmed #DelrawnSmall in front of his baby years ago. Isaacs’ discipline trial is FINALLY scheduled for 11/19. We need YOU to pack the court in support of Delrawn’s family!

New York is a-changin'.

Without the night shift, there is no morning.

“Toad, Toad, wake up,” said Frog. “Look at your garden!” Toad looked at his garden. Little green plants were coming up out of the ground.

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 am so upset. Last week Time Magazine solicited a piece from me on Zohran Mamdani & anti-Muslim hate. I pitched a framing re the dehumanization of Muslims & how Mamdani’s inclusive, socialist campaign in its content resists that. They agreed. I wrote the piece. 1/

dissatisfied by the New York Times coverage of Zohran Mamdani? great news! I talked to the guy Thursday about his campaign’s success at bringing community together beyond this election, and contextualized how it’s potentially shifted youth engagement with politics by simply listening @teenvogue.com

Teen Vogue took young people seriously. It's impossible to overstate how important, how rare, and how profoundly needed that is.

It’s truly scary how few mainstream publications are willing to publish working class voices and perspectives (let alone leftist ones), and every one we lose is yet another blow to the fragile hope for a better world

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.
