Alice is the gold standard of what Twitter was when it was great - how you could just find these brilliant, remarkable people with the kind of voices that rarely get platformed or taken seriously, and hear about their lives in their own words without intruding on them or demanding emotional labor

what gets me is libs are really insistent that it’s true when all context and reasoning points toward a brother teasing his brother and talking shit about a guy he hates, and in that insistence of realness is a glee in the patently homophobic root of the claim.

does anyone in nyc have a new baby and want a bunch of baby stuff i can’t seem to offload in the local parents chat??

Doing crimes is good for you!

Not the point but it’s kinda funny what they choose to put in quotes and what they don’t. Is the State Dept. suggesting anti-capitalism isn’t a real concept?

The bigger story following the designation of four antifascist groups as SDGT’s, with the intent of FTO designation, is that a far-right grifting nazi-sympathizer living in London, who is directly responsible for people being murdered and assaulted, has influence over federal government policy now.

Presser with Mayor-elect @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social at Friends of Crown Heights preschool set to begin soon, with the press gaggle sitting criss cross apple sauce as about a dozen children draw and assemble magnatile towers.

missing out on covering a mamdani event at a childcare center because i cannot afford childcare and my baby has refused to nap anywhere except in my arms this morning.

If you’re a member of NPPA and have “any first-hand knowledge of interference, intimidation, or retaliation by DHS, ICE, or other federal agents while covering immigration arrests, raids, or protests,” NPPA’s lawyer wants to hear from you. More: nppa.org/news/817

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

SORRY JIST NOW GETTING AROUBD TO EOSTEIN STYFF

just got a proper dental cleaning for the first time in 7 years and feel on top of the world.

lmao

made pastina and used a jar of vegetable blend baby food with some herbs added as the ‘sauce’ and it was a huge hit. if you’re on wic & get the bullshit package that nukes all of your foods except fruit & vegetable purées, highly recommend getting creative about using them!

i posted on the other site, which has a comically intense hatred of dsa, that i was going to join dsa just to make terrible people mad, and so many terrible people got sooooo mad

Patriots in control: Mamdani appoints Dean Fuleihan to First Deputy Mayor, resuming the role he served under Bill DeBlasio, and names DSA star who served as Mamdani’s campaign manager Elle Bisgaard-Church as Chief of Staff.

i don’t want to put stickers on my car but i could love a magnetic bumper sticker that says “honk if you want me to drive worse” because every time a car behind me honks the second the light turns green i just wanna shift into park. esp when they’re honking over someone in front of me. omggg

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

It really does seem like there's a decent chance that these senators screwed us because they don't want their personal Thanksgiving plans to be disrupted.

We out here, BK. Nearby 9 PPW? Join us to yell DON’T CAVE CHUCK! His job is not to fold for the MAGA GOP, it’s to FIGHT for us (and you!) Hold the line, @schumer.senate.gov! @indivisible.org @riseandresist.bsky.social @50501movement.bsky.social @50501newyork.bsky.social @handsoffnyc.bsky.social

i’m not a fan of copying the maga hats because from a distance they look like maga hats and that reflexively stresses people out but what if it was a balaclava

BREAKING: Starbucks baristas at Downtown Disney couldn’t stand another day of their managers’ unfair labor practices & kicked off our nationwide strike this weekend. These workers have shut down one of largest Starbucks stores in the country — and we’re just getting started! #NoContractNoCoffee

a new neighbor who isn’t on the lease keeps calling the cops on another neighbor because he can hear their tv. not because the tv is disruptively loud, but because he can hear it. he’s harassed another neighbor bc he could hear their dog bark. harassed someone else for smoking a one hitter. wtf

“and Shark Tank guy” is sending me

one thing to note is that it is very good that dems/centrists see that an affordability agenda from a leftist/collectivist perspective is very much winnable but if they campaign on it and do not follow through on making it a reality, that is going to drive people to the far right fast as hell

i don’t think people who accuse leftists of “liking nazis more than liberals” or “being secret maga” are capable of understanding any analysis on liberatory movements that does not primarily satisfy their need to be viewed as revolutionaries (while having taken zero risks or nurtured revolution).

UR has released 73 videos of 45 Minneapolis Police body-worn cameras from the mass arrest of over 646 people on Nov. 4, 2020. Strikingly, more than 24% of the 45 officers represented in this release have killed community members while on duty. View all videos, full story, & media guide at our site.

finally thought of one that isn’t cursed (cc @alexwinter.com)

My book on the Biden administration’s Gaza policy, CROSSING THE RED LINE, is soon entering production. I’m so excited to share it with you in 2026 In the meantime, if you want to share info about US officials’ choices around the war, you can always reach me at akbar.58 on Signal; anonymity is fine

Yeah, there's no way you could ever find any Christians who were involved with the pharmaceutical industry, or the spread of feminism, or the rise of pornography, or any of the other antisemitic conspiracies she's pushing here. Nope, Jews Are To Blame For Everything I Don't Like™

baby figured out to replicate me fanning my hand over their mouth (which makes fussing sound like wubwubwubwub, which pulls them out of a fuss fest) if they flap their arm over their mouth they can replicate that sound on their own. they also learned how to do raspberries on me.

how do we get what we make printed

shoutout @johanm.bsky.social for creating this impeccable resource as SNAP benefits remain uncertain!

maybe it’s due to shutdown but i recently flew and was worried i’d have trouble (my passport got lost in the mail & the enhanced ID i scrambled to get at the last minute didn’t arrive until we got back). they didn’t care. they sent me for “extra screening” which was just residue-testing my hands.

dora.nyc this is OUTSTANDING. super navigatable directory for food distros, resources. and easy to remember because it’s like the explorer but also— directory of resources & aid

is this wapo or nypost?

MTG’s trajectory is so funny. May all antisemitic conspiracy theorists follow that path toward human rights advocacy and away from fascism and white supremacy. May we see more go so far to the right, they rationalize themselves out of it for good.

one thing about zohran winning is my harasser was sooooo convinced sliwa’s campaign was anything other than fringe nonsense (while leaving the door open to schmooze cuomo) and now not only is he gunna get shut out from city hall, his friends in other departments are quitting, too.

one israel fundraiser gala is slated for 11/18 in nyc featuring rightwing politicians (elise stefanik, who’s getting hyped up as a republican candidate for governor) & sid rosenberg, who last year traveled to israel during an annual settler riot (chayei sarah). OIF funds settler terrorism.

This framing that it was Jackson doing it is not how they normally put stuff like this. They’re trying to lie to you with the truth. It was a legal maneuver designed to minimize the delay and held until as late as possible to give time for states to irreversibly process the payments.

Antifa winning everywhere

what the hell is ketanji brown jackson DOING

my friend’s coworker is trying to sell a new e-bike ($1200) for $500 that target mistakenly shipped to them does anyone in nyc want?

apparently my baby has decided, early with this as with everything else, to start teething, and is rapidly pulling me down into hell.

anyway i gotta get back to tidying up before my baby wakes up again. our robot vacuum went missing while we were out of town and the amount of litter everywhere is a nightmare.

it sure seems like a lot of discipline and focus has permeated the left. really stunning to see huge swaths of people with very recent learned experience recognize destabilizing bait and to ignore it, while quietly acknowledging constructive criticism and building from that.

If you can't contribute your labor, contribute your cash. Zohran's asking for donations to cover the costs for the transition and the inauguration. From each according to... www.transition2025.com
