making Jacob the stereotypical Bluesky user is the rudest and truest attack anyone has ever made on us

FDR would've felt incredibly vindicated by all of this. A core proposition of the New Deal was that the country's ruling class was incapable — at best — of defending the Constitution, and that it was up to a dissident vanguard of intellectuals, in conjunction with workers and farmers, to do it.

A List of Things Said to Have Been Ruined by Women 🧵

The more democratic elements of the American constitutional and economic order are actually throwing up road blocks to Trumpism. Protests and boycotts and low level courts and juries and cetera. Elite actors on the other hand are all too frequently caving. Fascinating study in who actually cares!

bro are you fucking kidding me

GUYS! IT'S FINALLY HERE! My first dissertation chapter has been published in Climatic Change!!! We read 194 papers on environmental justice on the coast and our findings are free for the public 🌊🌎🧪 link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Was watching a video of an air traffic controller explaining shutting down airspace isn’t too big of a deal because it already happens frequently and… ??? Yes, but because of things like WEATHER! Not because a handful of dudes have taken the country hostage!!! You see the difference here, surely!

And this is why the corporate class shut down Teen Vogue.

It is just absolutely nuts that Republicans have put us in this situation… and in NOVEMBER?! Wild wild stuff.

Famine has now been declared in regions of Sudan. What does it take for such a declaration to be issued?

Imagine having a kid in this daycare who watches as their teacher is bodily dragged away by masked goons.

Oh. Is he wearing his emergency management jacket?! *fashion is political!

Happy World #TsunamiDay to all who celebrate - which should be all of us, because you never know where you'll be when disaster strikes. Preparedness and mitigation make us all safer regardless of where we live, especially as our world is increasingly connected on a global scale.

🥺🥺🥺

Disturbing news out of Auburn University, where the admin is pressuring professors to sign a statement saying they're complying with an "anti-DEI" law and TPUSA is holding a rally and trying to record classes. I hear faculty are terrified to sign, worried this is a pretense for mass firings.

The dumbest possible timeline.

Offline people live in another universe! I just spoke to one of my offline friends and when I mentioned Cheney he said “when did he die??”. Imagine having gone a full ten hours of your life without this news?!?! Meanwhile I was the town crier on campus this morning alerting everyone to the news.

Lmao. What?!

Not sure how many Cheney obits will mention this murderous legacy of his.

ICYMI: another federal contract cancelation looks to mean the loss of weather observations from dozens of airport sites, mainly in NC and MD. As of this evening, observations from 15 of the 58 sites listed in an NWS notice of termination were no longer available. More: tinyurl.com/yp57f2ck

Dick Cheney Did Lying to Sell the Country on Disastrous Wars of Aggression the Right Way by Ezra Klein

hire all the fired political teen vogue writers and make a new magazine call teen rogue. we’ll all subscribe en masse

NYC don’t fuck this up.

It’s disheartening to see Teen Vogue dissolved into Vogue and its political team let go. For years, it was one of the few mainstream spaces that made room for honest, radical commentary on justice, inequality & the world we actually live in. I’m grateful it gave me a home for so many of my op-eds

Dick Cheney won’t see your little jokes today, but your friends who have the blood of millions on their hands will 😤

*peeks in* Are we *allowed* to Kissinger this or like what’s the vibe?

My mind has really failed to catch the "LLMs are normal and it's normal to use them" norm. Every single time someone casually talks about using them I am surprised and uncomfortable, like someone has admitted to rolling coal or lighting wildfires bc it "helps them get more done"

"There are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue." Damn, what a coincidence. All these news orgs keep laying off the same types of people while a bilious, rapey, leather-faced buffoon provides them cover and shakes them down for money to build a library named for a man who does not read.

TRUTH. I used to tell people to get whatever grant submission or management experience you can bc that's huge in our field and employers love it. But if the grants dry up, what good does that do?

To think you can cover "career development" without politics is nuts. I wrote this for Teen Vogue in 2019. The purpose was to introduce young people to the possibility of a *career* in disaster management... But everything I wrote here hinges on politics!!!!!!! www.teenvogue.com/story/how-he...

Teen Vogue was one of the only outlets that took young people seriously as political actors and covered how they're organizing, voting, and being impacted by state + national legislation. It was a launching pad for so many great young journalists

Does anyone know if there is someplace where you can see how many people are currently receiving D-SNAP benefits? My guess is that the only people using it right now would be folks in Alaska, but I want to make sure I'm not way off on this...

The guy who gave a Hitler salute endorsed Cuomo and yet it’s Mamdani who has to constantly respond to accusations of antisemitism. Maybe between now and tomorrow someone can ask Cuomo if he denounces Musk.

This x10 on disaster related issues.

Teen Vogue being folded into Vogue is also part of the fascist capture of media

POLITICS MATTER TO YOUNG PEOPLE YOU LOSERS. Teen Vogue has been a constant light in the darkness of political reporting. This sucks.

The fact a *single* Amazon full-time employee requires SNAP benefits should be a crime. The fact Amazon is the largest employer of SNAP recipients is a disgrace. Jeff Bezos shouldnt be that rich; he should be in jail.

I continue to absolutely not understand how journalists are expected to navigate this constant turmoil??!?!

We've got you 👍

A lot of people think this. It's a big part of a reason I wrote this piece that explains the realities of our recovery system. www.nytimes.com/2023/10/28/o...

WHY WILL NO ONE TELL HIM THIS IS NOT WHAT ASYLUM MEANS?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!

“60 Minutes paid me a lot of money” In an edited-out part of the Trump interview Trump brags about extorting CBS for millions for… editing out a part of Kamala’s interview. (He also makes it clear new CBS chief Bari Weiss is in his pocket) #RIPCBS

Some described the FEMA Review Council to me as their nightmare blunt rotation.

I live 15 minutes away from where this happened and I didn’t even hear about it until almost 24 hours after it happened and I was online all day!! The way news is flowing to people right now is not great, IMO.

Literally every single day. My hatred of AI deepens by the minute. (I’d argue it’s irrational not to do so.)

You can’t even use SNAP to buy a hot rotisserie chicken unless you live in a state with a special waiver.

can't believe outlets are running moral-panic headlines again based on flimsy anecdata from the *same* trade group (the national retailer federation) and sponsored by the *same* anti-theft company (sensormatic) that had to retract this *same* "study" just two years ago for being bogus.

"The people who are paying attention to this cycle are getting anxious. On a scale from one to 10, the AI-bubble concern is: people posting memes of Christian Bale’s character from The Big Short, squinting in disbelief at his computer monitor."
