Sssssooooo... yeah. (Wow!) 😳🤗

NEWS: The UK is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal, sources familiar with the matter told CNN. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/11/p...

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

Black American soldiers literally dug these WWII graves. Traumatic. To acknowledge that fact at a cemetery they helped construct is something the Heritage Foundation cannot accept. As Veterans Day approaches, never forget that this country both compels and disrespects Black military service. Always.

Grateful for this Delta flight attendant for providing some clarity on the upcoming changes to flights during the holidays. Listen in ⬇️

Reminder: Today at 11 am Eastern I'll be streaming "The Long Dark" to raise money for NY Common Pantry! With giveaways for each goal! Let's see how long I last. www.twitch.tv/nkjemisin If you don't feel like watching the game, you can also donate directly at tiltify.com/@nkjemisin/s...

an arc where the former governor of NY loses increasingly inconsequential elections until the series finale is him trying to run for senior class president at a local high school and getting his ass kicked by some 17 year olds.

There is something really wrong with people who need workers to be not just competent, but slavishly fake-happy. "Slavishly" used on purpose, bc that's where this grotesquerie comes from.

Been a while since I did a charity stream on Twitch, but I'm feeling the urge again. Tomorrow (Sunday) 11 am to 2 pm Eastern I'll be playing "The Long Dark" -- an old game but a new fave, to benefit NY Common Pantry. Join me for giveaways and (probably) horrible death! tilt.fyi/YVoFdn7Efo

YES YOU SHOULD VOTE IN LOCAL ELECTIONS TOMORROW EVEN IF MAMDANI IS NOT ON THE BALLOT WHERE YOU LIVE

Got a close relative who keeps saying only Cuomo can stand up to Trump. I don't think he early-voted! I'll just give him a li'l call tonight.

seems bad! www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

No more Black or trans staffers. No politics of any kind. The cowardice of mainstream media isn't just insulting, it's *boring.* Now TV is just like any other beauty rag. Why not just kill it quickly? Why the slow-motion pretense?

Hmm. Glad it's the last season; it's been getting boring. But hopefully they were saving it all up for now!

Covering this as a national ban is absolutely correct, and is the only framing that it needs to be. Its horrifying. There's no reason to think they'd stop at kids too.

I think a lot about the chance we had at the start of COVID to finally become a more compassionate, collectivist nation, and how profoundly we were failed not only by the sociopathic greed of the ruling class but by each other. It doesn’t mean we won’t get there, but the lost opportunity haunts me.

Nothing is inevitable. Effort is everything. Ignore the polls and run through the tape. Vote: zohranfornyc.com/vote Canvass + phonebank: zohranfornyc.com/gotv

Genuinely begging you to re-up your MMR & get your kids vaccinated if you can. Between this & Kennedy talking about breaking it up into separate vaccines thus providing opportunities for missed inoculations &, thus, increased infections, public health policy is not looking great, for the foreseeable

The world's worst people are about to have an epic meltdown after Mamdani's win. Their tears will be sugar for my chai.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live. Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps: * Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled * Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

It’s too bad only farmers are people and not librarians or artists or healthcare workers or researchers.

I will never understand how Jared Leto has remained a working movie star for 30 years despite never starring in a good or successful film

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong. Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

Why would a billionaire want a functioning paper? Functioning papers cover shit like “did you know this billionaire makes his workers pee into bottles instead of taking a break” and “you pay way more tax than a guy with ten yachts”

The Fifth Season by @nkjemisin.bsky.social is also on US ebook sale for $3, and I got 6 copies of that for random giveaway. Sunshine by Robin McKinley is also on US Kindle sale for $3, and I got 6 of those for random giveaway. Sunshine is probably my favorite vampire book.

Whaaat? Good lord. RIP.

Just so everyone is clear, the main issue in the Supreme Court voting rights case tomorrow is whether it's racist against white people to enforce the Voting Rights Act. I'm dead serious. We live in incredibly stupid times.

a key thing about vought — and all of these guys — is that they have a totally top down and hierarchical vision of the world. they believe that the cultural changes they hate can be turned off by destroying the federal government because they can’t imagine that they emerged bottom-up in society

@theradr.bsky.social I believe this is your gem of wisdom

antifascist and anti-capitalist organizers need to understand space as one site of struggle because our opposition definitely understand it as one

Attacks on the federal workforce are also attacks on Black workers, who are overrepresented in the public sector. Black unemployment is 7.5%. I'm reminded of Coates' observation that Black Americans regularly experience conditions that would be considered a crisis if whites faced them.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

Assata Shakur has "died in Havana, Cuba, as a result of health conditions and her advanced age." She was 78.

So much happening in the world right now & nobody covers it quite like @globalvoices.org: whistleblowers in Nigeria, peace activists in SE Asia, anti-corruption in Nepal: when you open the front page of Global Voices you get a combination of coverage & perspectives that you won't find anywhere else.

This is EXCELLENT. 1) this is spot-on analysis of the problem & a great immediate 1st thing a city can do to improve outcome. 2) as a 2 min clip? He's giving history, hope & change. Speaking to women, to Jewish & Black NYers, saying "abortion." & also naming eugenics in feminism. 100/10 no notes.
