I wrote historiography all day

Man, fuck McAfee and fuck his stupid show. What a disgrace to punters

Martin reverting back to his old ways in an overreaction to Samantha's actions is not a good idea. #BeyondTheGates

“Chakrabarti has drawn flak for his history of supporting centrists…over progressives” He’s better than Weiner, but his 11k donation to @deanpreston.bsky.social ‘s opponent reveals Saikat’s politics are more aligned w/ big tech interests than he might be letting on. sf.gazetteer.co/what-makes-s...

wow. WOW.

Spouse mutters: they really think freedom means being able to make sports bets on your phone

I didn’t know there was a bill that would raise taxes on sports betting but now I’m highly supportive of anything that could hurt the gambling industry

We are in this together! 🤝

The federal government has been shut down for 40 days. The continuing resolution to reopen the government, which has not passed yet, expires in 81 days. So great job all around.

Congratulations to the party of cowards. I’ll stick around long enough to primary Fetterman into irrelevance and then it is bye bye Democratic Party. And regardless what my current Vote ID says, I am now an Independent.

Praying for NJ today

Philly - vote no for retention of judge Lyris Younge www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncn...

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.

Sad about Teen Vogue.

I live 2900 miles away from NYC, and Zohran is my main hope for the future.

It's impossible to overstate how grotesque this Halloween 2025 split screen is: Trump parties like its 1928 while here in Chicago, we endured yet another day of federal agents pummeling people, spraying chemical agents & pointing weapons at bystanders. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/jennifer...

As we begin a new week, just a reminder to keep sending news tips my way. I'm marisakabas.04 on Signal and [email protected] via email. Be safe out there.

study after study after study shows that literally just handing people money and telling them "do what you want with this" reduces homelessness, increases food security for children, makes it more likely people will find and retain jobs.1

I don’t know any paper meeting the moment like @inquirer.com and I feel lucky to be a Philadelphian. You should subscribe!

“When yellow cabbie Kuber Sancho-Persad..sees Mamdani, he offers him a bear hug, lifting the…candidate into the air. Sancho-Persad tells me he can only stay for a few minutes to not miss curfew at the family-shelter. …Part of his high costs he blames on Cuomo” inthesetimes.com/article/zohr...

Come out on 11/6 in SF to listen to the preliminary injunction hearing in AAUP v Trump! Show the federal courts that we stand up for academic freedom and will not capitulate! WE are the UC!

Political violence doesn’t just endanger individuals — it warps democracy itself. bit.ly/3JA9cuG

Abolition is the only way

So the World Series MVP is an… immigrant

This has been going on for months on end ... "'There's no due process': ICU nurse, army veteran among U.S. citizens caught in ICE dragnet. Amanda Trebach is a U.S. citizen, and ICE detained her anyway. She's not the only one." www.cbc.ca/news/world/u...

On the eve of college basketball, I want to make something very clear. Doug Gottlieb is a massive turd of a human being, and I hope he loses every game this season.

Hang in there Blue Jays! Wow this game is stressful

Welcome to BillionaireSF where the city “cracks down” on homeless families living in RVs. The cruelty seems to be the point. This will not age well.

You would be kicked out of any writer’s room in existence if you had the villains celebrating a Great Gatsby-themed party while taking away food benefits from millions of poor people.

I applaud the HomeGoods in St Davids for collecting money for Philabundance. Wasn’t much but I gave $5 in honor of Pierre Robert and educated a young’n about who he was. #twobirdsonestone

There is no way Max Scherzer wants to A) share his Hall of Fame class with Clayton Kershaw B) retire before Justin Verlander

This series has cemented one thing in my mind: The Canadians yearn for more baseball. Give them another team, MLB. Or resurrect the Expos

"The government is trying to transform journalism into pure propaganda," @caitlinvogus.bsky.social told @france24.com. "Any journalist worth their salt is going to reject that, and that's exactly what the vast majority of the Pentagon press corps did."

happy halloween to what many people believed was the greatest tweet of all time

I’m not going to let a federal indictment ruin Halloween. 🎃🎃 HAPPY PUMPKIN DAY! 🎃🎃 Join us TODAY in the campaign office back parking lot from 12-6 for a blood drive and bone marrow registration drive. We'll be giving out Chicago dogs, ICE whistles, candy and more! 7016 N Clark St

“Both supporters and opponents of transgender rights agree that, taken together, the forthcoming rules could make access to pediatric gender-affirming care across the country extremely difficult, if not impossible.”

I think ai is carceral infrastructure in addition to being trash

At this point I lose more time sending feedback on google searches than I do on the searches themselves

Because the NFLPA is the weakest union of the four major sports in America :(

if knowingly starving millions of americans while he builds a gilded ballroom isn't cause for revolution then i'm not sure what is

“To call her death merely a suicide misses the larger truth—no suicide happens in a vacuum. Policies designed to make life unlivable for transgender people bear responsibility too” Rest in Power, Lia. 💔 www.erininthemorning.com/p/every-tran...

A sad update to the story of the 13-year-old Massachusetts boy who was abducted by ICE: He is choosing to self-deport to Brazil because even if he were to win his asylum case, his lawyer says it's possible he could still remain incarcerated.

This is literally Nazi shit. This is what the Nazis did. If you support this, you are a Nazi, and if that makes you upset, then STOP BEING A FUCKING NAZI

My students shouted out how UNC Press has GREAT covers (on these and many other @uncpress.bsky.social titles, including GUN COUNTRY)

"A recent report from McKinsey found that nearly 80 percent of companies using AI discovered that the technology had no significant impact on their bottom line."
