I'm one of the four fired employees. I was a writer & producer at Bon Appétit for nearly five years, during which I helped organize our union and sat on our bargaining committee. I am, to my knowledge, the only trans woman in our union and the only trans woman on editorial who doesn't work at Them

if you can't handle journalists asking clarifying follow up questions you have no business managing reporters. go run a dick's sporting goods

I can't decide if I like Harnik or Caballero-Reynolds's angle better.

Right in the middle of a White House event promoting their bizarre vision of "health," one of them passed out and required medical attention. The writers are getting lazier and lazier.

I was one of the four people who got canned. In the interim, you can subscribe to my newsletter, Straight From The Hut. No paywall, but feel free to choose the pay to support model. I'm not going anywhere — the show goes on, and I'll be back on MSNBC Saturday night. straightfromthehut.substack.com

This one's got a lot of meme potential

more people need t o know about this city referendum from 2015

My first thought: Well, at least there's a doctor right there. My second thought: Unfortunately, it's Dr. Oz.

Bad AI supplanting human expertise is an issue that transcends any one field, but man—not many people on earth whose knowledge and dedication deserves respect like LIBRARIANS.

#tbt sorry we missed this, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

But... there already are multiple three point lines on the court for exactly that reason?

In my brief time as an op-ed editor (<year), Brettbug Stephens argued Ashkenazis might be genetically superior, & Tom Cotton called for violence against George Floyd protestors. Some of us were constantly pushing back. I met with Sulzberger multiple times. Lip service was given, nothing changed.

Ross Douthat right now:

Ten years ago this week, the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance failed to pass. It would have protected Houstonians from discrimination in a variety of ways, but it failed after Republicans ran ads about trans predators in bathrooms. Here's my retrospective from last year: www.chron.com/culture/arti...

Billie Jean knows what she's talking about. She was the primary source for this story on anti-trans bias at NYT we ran last year. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

This was a sentence in a NEWS piece, not an opinion piece, btw. NYT is very bad at keeping news and opinion separate, much of their politics reporting reads like opinion.

Today's newsletter is about the awful and extremely political decision to gut Teen Vogue for parts www.readtpa.com/p/teen-vogue...

my colleague @robinsonmeyer.bsky.social went long on how zohran mamdani — a climate hawk — barely mentioned climate change on the trail and how it is evidence the issue just isn’t the populist winner many activists long for it to be

"The debate over whether Democrats need to cut trans people loose in order to win elections should be over."

Tomorrow on the PTI premium ep, Mike and I review big wins for Democrats in this week's elections. Then, we check in on Jesse Singal's anti-woke TERF podcast to hear how he and his co-host butchered their coverage of a white supremacist bullying campaign. www.patreon.com/posts/051-an...

serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them

One thing I learned from the past few decades is that voters tend not to comprehend nuances like "the filibuster" or even "the Supreme Court." Mostly they just blame bad things on the people in charge, and Washington correspondents should understand that too.

Thank you @andydunn.bsky.social for blessing this in my texts this morning

“Michael Burry, who famously shorted the US housing market before its collapse in 2008, has bet over $1 billion that the share prices of AI chipmaker Nvidia and software company Palantir will fall — making a similar play, in other words, on the prediction that the AI industry will collapse.”

For @msnbc.com I wrote about how Tuesday's election gives Democrats the blueprint for overcoming Republican anti-trans attacks and how thus should settle all the talk about throwing trans people under the bus. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

oh my god they actually did it lmao

This is why he had to be on exceedingly good behaviour during the campaign (which included tolerating pure racism directed at him) because they are prepared to weaponize anything he said. And even more so now that he won despite all their best efforts.

Just going to save this to use as a reaction image whenever someone comes out as trans

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

My dad would both “never go to NYC if my life depended on it” and “doesn’t care about the city at all” while being “very concerned about the communist mayor.” Strange tension to hold in one’s mind.

Mamdani’s win is a warning for media: Better get some leftist contributors or you simply won’t be able to cover/understand what is happening around America.

Looking for feedback on my new viral skit

ok who knocked her up

andrew cuomo ran one of the worst political campaigns in modern history but i think my favorite part was in this ai ad, the pregnant bill cited chatgpt as a source and a chatgpt phone walks onto the screen and goes “that’s right”

Bahahahahahaha
