Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

EVERY MEMBER OF CONGRESS IS BEING PAID $476 A DAY DURING THIS SHUT DOWN. How much did you make today? 🤔

Early voting in the NYC mayoral election begins TODAY. If you're a New Yorker, I urge you to vote for Zohran Mamdani — the only candidate who will stand up to the oligarchy and fight for working people. Listen to his inspiring words from primary night.

My husband sent me an excel spreadsheet of our vacation. I'm not joking. We have train apps. We have museum apps. We have reservations. I have 5 hrs allocated for alone time so that we stay married (according to ol boy). Type triple A husband.

"Black people are tired. Not metaphorically tired—actually tired. The kind of tired that turns every group chat into a mix of gallows humor and emotional triage." I write about white ignorance and how exhausting it is to hear white ppl insist "this isn't who we are, when it's ALWAYS who we've been.

Cartoonists are more on point and have more spine these days, then some of the MSM! 🙄

Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism. I'm sure he'd hate it if you shared this cartoon. [Cartoon by Jon Adams/The New Yorker]

I wish the politics of education was a bigger subfield so I would have more people to chat with about the political economy of higher education

Pay close attention to who wants you to do The Reading and who only wants you to read their interpretation

Just five media companies control 90% of our media market. But it’s not just media. In 75% of U.S. industries, fewer companies now control more of their markets than they did 20 years ago – leaving us vulnerable to higher prices and lower wages. Former FTC Chair Lina Khan explains.

I am team Black until you show me why not. He has showed more than why not. I am a lesser of two evils unless there is a better plan. There is better plan than Hakeem. I am a greater good person. Whoever primary’s him is the greater good. I pray his Frat Brothers stand down.

Very soon they will be too big and heavy for this, but for now our juvenile turkeys love exploring the tree in our barnyard!

John and I spent the day at the farm 🐑🐄🐐 You know I have a palatial estate in Brooklyn that I share with the rest of the population… it’s called Prospect Park 🌳😂 But here’s my palatial estate in Queens: the Queen’s Farm 👑🌾 #QueensFarm #QueensNewYork #FarmLife #brooklyngirlqueenslife

I was frustrated that white people are too apathetic about what’s going on, but what I’m really frustrated is the way in which they respond to anyone other than another white person. Some of y’all will put the collective at risk if it means you can “put a Black woman in her place.” 😒

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE: He cannot designate an idea as a terrorist group. There is no org called ANTIFA. There is no leadership or funding path or no membership. Also there is no terrorism law in America. Ask Luigi. He wants to call anyone a terrorist. That’s Fascism. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Call me radical, but I think we *don't* need to have polite chats with racists who are spewing conspiracy theories that keep motivating white supremacists to massacre our fellow citizens, and we *don't* need to have bipartisan deals with fascists trying to destroy our democracy and our government.

I'm really concerned that white people are just not up to the task. A lot of y'all are well meaning but you're just not up to the task because you've never been systematically oppressed and you refuse to listen to people who have been

Research how they did it in the 1900s and bloody learn.

Honoring Charlie Kirk's memory by ruining the lives of anyone who accurately quotes Charlie Kirk

- Learn the techniques e.g. dry vs wet measurements - follow the recipe -- there are reasons it tells you to let the meat rest or gives you the temperature for the oil - prep and measure all the ingredients before you start - sharpen your knives -clean as you go

ICYMI: Alongside a bipartisan group of House members, I introduced legislation to ban members of Congress from trading stock. Americans should know that we’re working in their interests, not our own. We need to restore trust in Congress. Let’s get this done. www.cnbc.com/2025/09/03/b...

Been missing my Gran lately. 🥺 It’s been years since I had Old School Peach Cobbler like she used to make, but I woke up today craving it, so I made it. 🥰 🍽️

Tonight it’s Titanic. Three minutes in and I’m pausing to explain the patriarchical reasons we gender ships female. Truly, I am a hoot.

Here are some nice mushrooms

Police quoted as saying real police do t wear ski masks. As if we are living in an alternate universe where masked US military aren’t kidnapping people

I will live all the days of my life and never understand people who go to things called “coffee with a cop” or “pizza with the police”.

Dog nose fungus, nice inside and out

A man at the store said he heard a local news story about, “a woman on Medicaid who bought a Lambo.” I invented a new kind of blank stare just for him. Just held it uncomfortably long until he felt the weight of his stupid meanness. Beta testing as we speak.

As anti-Muslim and anti-Arab conspiracies were spread during the Manhattan shooting, NYPD Officer Didarul Islam was being shot and killed while doing his job. Officer Islam, a Bangladeshi Muslim immigrant, leaves behind his wife, who was eight months pregnant, and their two young sons.😢😢😢

This week has just sucked

I am so angry. It was supposed to be way better for our younger sisters. Way better.

I stopped saying it can’t get worse in 2001. Has it taken 24 years for the rest of the world to catch on?

They made Jon catch the spirit.
