We now officially have a new definition of “chutzpah,” fellow Jews of New York City.

Republicans in Disarray

i hope to see enterprising democrats announce their intent to retire schumer and gillibrand over the next two years.

Maybe pundits should spend more time in densely packed, left leaning urban areas where the "real Americans" live

I don’t like everything about Brad Lander and his positions, but I fucking love this shirt.

Farewell, you incompetent freak.

And they said there was no way to convince Gen Z to have more kids.

hey bluesky remember all these results the next time you want to doom about how civil war 2 is about to start and there's no way to stop it

The polls in New Jersey were hilariously wrong. I mean, in a good way, but WTF, pollsters?

Zohran has already gotten 250k more votes than Eric Adams did 4 years ago when he was hailed as the future of the Democratic Party.

we did it babes.... we're the opposite of cooked. what is that. we're ingredients

Ok, I am back for one night because this would be so much less fun without all of you guys. Though Cuomo’s career over + proof that 100 billionaires don’t own the city is also a fair amount of fun tbh.

BlueSky, especially mutuals: it's been fun to be back the last few days, but I'm going to try to take another approximately month-long break. I really was less anxious & slept better during the last one. Have fun, be careful, & link to my editing services is in bio. 😍

This article is so dumb b/c its thesis is that Democrats who ran in districts Trump won and Republicans who ran in districts Harris won were successful by moving to the center. Duh! But that's only a few House candidates! They never concede that a Dem in a safe district can run on a lefty platform.

I'm BEGGING yall to aim higher than "the GOOD Nazi"

Read this thread.

Hallevai!

We've not yet begun to reckon with the vast amount of deeply internalized misogyny still held by so many women in this country without them even realizing it.

This is a slap in the face to Virginia's cattlemen. Trump's reckless tariffs have already hurt our agriculture industry. These dollars should be supporting American farmers — not buying Argentina’s beef.

I keep seeing Dems blamed for this guy's candidacy and I just want to point out that less than a week ago the complaint was that Dems weren't backing him. This is a case study in how easy it is to manipulate recent history.

If my computer had a "what an asshole!" key, I would have worn it out in posting about Cuomo this election cycle.

The rightwing understands that *state legislatures* are on the frontlines of public health. That’s where they’re working to upend policies proven to protect us, from vaccines to food safety. Winning governing power in the states is how we fight back. apnews.com/article/vacc...

This is how you blurb

"A 60-year-old couple earning $85,000 may have to pay $31,000 for a health insurance plan in Kentucky... $28,000 for a plan in Oregon... $44,000 for a plan in Vermont..." www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Food banks need money if you’ve got it. For everything else, contact them and ask—some can take donated meat by hunters or eggs from backyard flocks, some can’t.

“You can’t mutual aid state capacity” is a great summary

Yes, but be sure to VET THEM FIRST

So much discourse is just 40 year olds nostalgic for things you are absolutely still allowed and indeed easily able to do but that they don’t do because they’re addicted to their phones which is the epitome of a skill and motivation issue.

If I had a dollar for every time a woman has been told since ca. 1985 that sexual harassment is just what you have to deal with when you start work, I would be rich enough to stop working.

Hmmm I think I have to do this!

Can we Jews get our stuff back too?

This. 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

"When I was caught with the vile thing I definitely knew and understood and kept for my whole adult life, I acted immediately when it had an effect on my career."

I would have been totally fine with, “I’ve started the process of getting the tattoo removed, which will take x weeks/months, so please don’t ask me to take off my shirt again.”

Could be nostalgia, but I mostly remember fondly my trips to the video store, especially if Dad and I went, just the two of us, without my younger bro. And we all still take walks. Don't know what's up with these freaks.

“Working class” in a lot of political discourses is a polite euphemism for white male.

reminding friends here that Nov 1st will be catastrophic for so many people if they don’t receive their SNAP Donate to food banks if you can, or labor, mutual aid requests, or just be mindful of people struggling if you can ❤️

I don't want to say that even catalogue/web-based retail is deed, but I ordered a winter coat last week for my young teen from a major retailer (NOT Amazon). I just got an email saying that the shipment is delayed, but they'll let me know when it ships. No estimated date, nothing. It's getting cold.

Yep. A Costco card is not an economy or scale!

Hi, BlueSky: I'm taking a break from you guys for the next month or so for my mental health. I'm fine (want to stop before I'm not; last week 🙃), still working, so if you or someone you know needs an academic developmental editor, copy/line editor, biblio creator, etc., link to my site is in bio. 👋

Boomer Dad, who reads NYT and WSJ daily and sometimes also WaPO: "Sure, I've heard Charlie Kirk's name, but I didn't really know who he was..."

"And the waitress is practicing politics, but not in the right way because she never got anyone doxxed..." ––Ezra Klein's version of Piano Man, probably

I decided Tuesday to really, really, really try not to stress-buy any more fiction books b/c my TBR pile is insane, even with the Jewish holidays and the resulting digital detox. Turns out that was kind of bad timing. What am I supposed to do, stress-buy CLOTHES? Cope with stress in a healthy way?

I have a feeling there's going to be a lot more "Why is Israel even IN Eurovision?" on here for a while. It's a reasonable question with a pretty straightforward answer: a short 🧵. #jewsky

I don't think younger Gen Z necessarily does Law & Order, but if they do, they should check out the few seasons after 9/11. One of the better accidental archives of the time IMO.

Do you have anyone with writing and editing experience who wants to come work for me? #medievalsky please share widely!

Today, we mourn the memory of those we lost on September 11, 2001. We also come together to honor the brave heroes, like our first responders, who risked their lives that tragic day to save countless others. Their sacrifice can never be repaid. We will never forget.
