Hi writers! I’m looking to assign a couple of features for Slate before the end of the year. If you have anything in mind that you think would be a fit please send me a pitch! Jenée.Desmond- [email protected] or dm me. RTs are appreciated so this can reach more people. Thanks!

“We’ll see.” We’re supposed to accept that Democratic leadership allowed this caliber of strategist to negotiate a deal with the most diabolical, mendacious group of politicians in American government.

Shortly after teargassing Little Village, a Mexican-Americsn neighborhood, the Nazis did what? 🤔 "While Border Patrol photographers snapped photos, one agent shouted, “Everyone say, ‘Little Village!’”"

Think ICE’s tactics are bad now? Recruits “have had criminal backgrounds or failed drug tests or were unable to meet physical or academic standards, raising concerns about the agency’s rush to hire immigration officers, sources told NBC News.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

Hearing from more people after this went out. "We're all pissed. This was a lot of unnecessary stress on people and their families for nothing. And if I win the lottery tonight I absolutely will spend millions to hire people to follow these 8 Dems around for a year and make their lives miserable."

“Structural ignorance.” Yes.

“This mismatch between perception and reality has real consequences, fueling the notion that higher education as a whole is elitist and out of touch, hiding the work of the colleges that educate millions of working- and middle-class families.” fortune.com/2025/11/08/g...

Yes really — the “we asked this guy. He doesn’t actually know jack shit but he’s rich” model of reportage really needs to go

Guillermo del Toro’s #Frankenstein arrives on Netflix today, but the creature’s first spark was lit on a stormy night in 1816. ⚡ At the Villa Diodati, a ghost story challenge gave rise to Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" novel, changing #literature forever. Read more: https://bit.ly/4nJJW3q.

the thing about this is that a) small states do not have any interests that are inherent to their size (no less than james madison understood this) b) the senate is organized along party lines which makes the small/big distinction almost irrelevant and c) the filibuster has never been used this way

The way people are saying that Frankenstein doesn’t pass the Bechdel Test is exactly why I’ve always been annoyed with how people use the Bechdel Test. Context matters.

On land they own. I know plenty Jamaicans with homes. None of them have mortgages. Even the "shacks" be on family property many times.

Mmmmm. Imagine believing most Jamaicans live in shacks.

These people online yapping about GDT “ruining” Frankenstein need to go back and READ MARY SHELLEY’s DAMN BOOK. L

Post you from a different era. Early 90’s.

HE'S APPEALING TO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES THAT HE BE ALLOWED TO STARVE AMERICANS

Just need everyone to Google the name "Rosalind Franklin" at this moment.

The federal government’s “Compact” will put the University of Texas at Austin under political control. Join Longhorns for Liberty before the Board of Regents meeting on November 19-20 and tell President Jim Davis and the Regents to reject the Compact. alumni.standforcampusfreedom.org/petitions/un...

Charlemagne is an opp.

Republicans once again threatening us with a good time

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Thursday unveiled proposals to boost reporting and prosecution of sexual abuse after herself being groped in the street in an attack that caused outrage u.afp.com/SeCL

The construction industry, where more than a quarter of workers are foreign-born, has long struggled to find enough workers. Now, industry officials say Trump's immigration crackdown is making it worse. n.pr/4qLBoeQ

When people can’t feed their children or pay the rent? More proof (as if we needed it) that these idiots appointed by the idiot-in-chief have no idea what they are talking about and seem to live in a reality that doesn’t exist. Dorothy needs to tell him to put it back in his pants.

It is clearly deeply annoying for a sociopath when a human collapses nearby and distracts attention from him.

Watch Trump's reaction to this.

I love how the Secretary of Health and Human Services, the guy in charge of our national well-being, runs away like a cartoon character the moment somebody needs medical help. The other Trump gargoyles at least attempt to look concerned. Kennedy sprints off camera.

Getty photographer slow walks his exit and gets the ultimate shot.

Hey ChatGPT: Please generate an image of a man thoroughly devoid of any and all human empathy.

Don't forget that just this past week, Trump said these raids are not going far enough.

*whispers* you can continue to read me, the pundit who insisted the other pundits were wrong about these conclusions

The fact that every single one of the constitutional amendments passed in Texas is frightening. There wasn’t nearly enough media coverage and not enough voter education on what they *really* mean. They were worded in a way to make them seem like common sense when they are absolutely nefarious.

NYC ❤️ Wish I could be back there right now…missing it.

MAMDANI: "I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life, but let tonight be the last time I utter his name ...."

Normal people are just sick to fucking death of the cruelty and meanness

They finally did it

Considering what they did to Marie Antoinette for saying "let them eat cake," I wonder what will happen once people fully understand that the GOP is saying, in unison, "let them eat nothing."

All parents and guardians MUST have an “I Voted” sticker on at drop off. We’re not getting started until everyone has voted. If your child is wearing an “I Voted” sticker, that’s illegal and we don’t appreciate it.

Vote Baby Vote #Deee-Lite #VOTE youtu.be/RbuwKwv1Fhk?...

They FINALLY got it right this time!

Is it just me, or does the early Daylight Savings Time darkness feel especially dark this year? 😞

And stan culture has such a hold on people that there are still a gang of women & gay guys going ten toes in for Nicki Minaj when she's praising Trump, their minds consumed in worship of their idol.

Everyone who loves @realgdt.bsky.social's Frankenstein, throw some love to his Crimson Peak this Halloween weekend! Superb gothic atmosphere, costumes & twists. The accompanying art book, also exceptional. 🖤🎃🎬 My retro in cinemas review! #horrorsky #horrorfamily #filmsky

This was the film GDT was born to make. INCREDIBLE. Heartbreaking. Every performance…stunning. And the production design, beautiful. Try to see it on the big screen even tho it will be on Netflix next week. It’s worth it. #Frankenstein

Whenever I meet a "feminist" who wants to abolish sex work, I instantly know I'm talking with an unserious person who is not willing to do the work. Let's imagine, for the sake of the argument, that they were right and all sex workers were trafficking victims who wanted to leave sex work. 🧵

Feeding America has this helpful page hat let’s you find food banks and food pantries near your zip code. For those looking to help, most of these orgs say financial donations and grocery cards are the most helpful way to give. give.feedingamerica.org/SnP--N8F9EuA...

Those numbskulls who were talking smack about Zohran Mamdani eating with his hands made me remember the time I was at a Mexican restaurant in SoHo in NYC and these people at the table next to me were eating tacos with a knife and fork. It was….something.
