No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

oh this is absolutely what i think. i think they feed him fake polls and outright AI slop

*sigh* Okay, I'll click. people.com/kate-beckins...

The President of the United States just called for my arrest and execution. In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage:

he hangs out in group chats with teenaged nazis, so there’s that

Is Piggy referring to his attempted coup on January 6th?

The family of a close friend find themselves in great difficulty – if you can possibly support them, through this terrifying time, I know they would be grateful. Moreover, if they manage to resolve the situation they will reimburse all donors, if they fail to they will refund all donations

WHAT a privilege to feature @hmelehy.bsky.social, reading from his translation of EQUINOX ISLAND, Mauritian poet Jean Fanchette's collection of verse "filled with dimly lit landscapes, and seaside expanses." Enjoy this masterful rendering of a haunting, rarely-heard voice. youtu.be/noVPk7KKERw?...

Not sure the point of deporting hard working people who fled awful conditions in their own countries and are caring for the sick, elderly, and paralyzed, not only harming our own economy, but vulnerable people who rely on this assistance.

Masculinity is NOT in crisis. Masculinity is THE crisis.

You know the week's starting off with a bang when he sets it off by saying, "Quiet, quiet piggy!" to a female reporter on Air Force One. Can you imagine if Obama...

One third of the country supported the January 6 2021 attempted take over the government & are the same ones who voted him back in. They are traitors in my book.

She was always THE woman. Looking right at you from 1590: Infanta Catalina Micaela (almost surely), painted by Sofonisba Anguissola (probably). Surely one of the greatest renaissance portraits.

Can the next please dear God can the next interviewer ask MTG about oh I don’t know January 6th etc before we keep pretending she found politics Jesus

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

my judgement & contempt for anyone still supporting the NYT at this point is equivalent to anyone still using X

these are not even the files lol

Anyone else? #langsky #xl8

Releasing the Epstein files could have a chilling effect on future presidents' ability to hide their history of raping children on a private island owned by a convicted sex offender.

Have just devoured @radiomukhers.bsky.social's latest #WyndhamandBanerjee mystery and if I loved all the previous ones, well. Let's just say Raymond Chandler himself would probably have offered to buy you a gimlet for this one, Abir. Just bloody fantastic. #TheBurningGrounds

Absolutely agree.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107. 12 days of work in 107 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

"Europeans recognize his vision about free public transit and universal childcare. We expect our governments to make these kinds of services accessible to all of us,” said Verbeek. “We pay higher taxes and get civilized societies in return."

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

I don’t know about you but I sincerely believe that Zohran Mamdani’s BA Major in Africana Studies enabled him to understand our current conjuncture & its demands of justice. Humanities shape minds & in his case for the better. I know white tech bros disagree as they continue to collapse our worlds.

PS The biggest surprise was people - not many, but still - clearly using generative AI. Please don't. Like all editors, surely, we would much rather have a sincere, authentic idea from YOU that is ragged around the edges than a slick piece of globo-American slop.

This person took this when they called the race

Food for 42 million hungry Americans is sitting on shelves because flapper-dress-wearing, champagne-drinking guests at a Great Gatsby party don’t think they deserve to eat

Although this ensemble was a commercial failure, Claire McCardell had a vision of the capsule wardrobe that would be revived decades later by designers like Donna Karan and her 7 Easy Pieces. This is mid #1930s, a travel ensemble to work anywhere you might land @metmuseum.org #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

The cruelty is the point.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

I lost 20 friends 💔 last week.... The thing is.. YOU DID TOO You lost the guy that fixed your AC. You lost the woman who drove your mother to doctor's appointments. You lost the chef who made your restaurant food taste good. America is worse off because we dragged them away.....

When you see Mamdani looking all normal doing normal person things—petting bodega cats, riding public transport—you realize just how bizarre and estranged our average candidate for public office is. Rich martians in flesh suits

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

The way he rubs his inhumanity in Americans” face never ceases to stun me. He’s illegally refusing to pay food stamp benefits… …while he throws a ridiculously over the top Gatsby party for his right wing millionaire and corporate friends.

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50. California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections. Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

Powerful and moving interview with Virginia Giuffre's brother Sky and sister-in-law Amanda: "He's just Andrew. He's no longer a prince... This normal girl, from a normal family, has taken down a prince. We are so proud of her." "She was extraordinary. She did the extraordinary."

I cannot believe there are still people in my mentions arguing that boycotting an election because the candidates aren’t addressing your issue is a way to get them to pay attention.

Don't miss this reading by translator @michellemirabella.bsky.social from #Chilean author Catalina Infante Beovic's debut novel THE CRACKS WE BEAR (@worldedbooks.bsky.social, 2025), an exploration of memory, trauma, and grief in a country still haunted by the Pinochet dictatorship.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

I mean, the whole thread, but this is the gist.
