Earnest post: there is increasingly direct evidence that Trump participated in child sex trafficking or at least knew about it. He should resign, be impeached and removed from office, and prosecuted. Even if you don’t think that WILL happen it’s important to say publicly that it SHOULD happen.

Even though I do not live in New York State and have only been to Storm King once, I enjoy getting their emails and imagining I am living a life where I can take advantage of their evolving exhibits

It’s too cloudy to see the aurora here (I think: other Bay Area people tell me if I’m wrong) but I did exclaim, “The sky is green!” at sunset when there were thinner, electric pink clouds, and I guess maybe I was right?

if dems are going to do whatever their corporate donors want, then don't bother texting us for money anymore

How do so many democrats still not understand that the ACA *was* the compromise.

Wow these fucking cowards

One of my favorite books of the century so far, without exaggeration.

Unique, surprising, gorgeously written. Will appeal to: Those who like a Groundhog-Day-meets-Sliding-Doors scenario with a soft-apocalypse background.

I can't believe I let the entire Louvre heist pass me by without recommending my novel END OF THE WORLD HOUSE, which is what happens when the Louvre heists you instead thankyoubookshop.com/item/rPCoGQ_...

McConnell orders the government to fully fund SNAP benefits for November immediately via TRO—written order to come. Any motion for a stay is denied. The Court will stand adjourned. Wow.

This is the absolute sickest shit.

Last night I ate so much Halloween candy it made me feel sick, so today I assume I should eat twice as much, because my system is that much stronger

It's blustery outside, the worst people are miserable, let's step with glory into the light (rain)

They called Prop 50 as a win literally 5 minutes after the polls closed TONIGHT IS THAT NIGHT!

My baby just asked me, “How you doing, New York City, mama?” So he gets it.

The Mayor is here at hand.

I don't even live in NYC and this is giving me life

Exciting to cast a ballot in my new state, and to vote Yes on Prop 50.

Asked my toddler where we had dinner last night and without hesitation he said, “In da CLUB!”

The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP. They have a contingency fund to ensure it’s covered in the event of a shutdown. They’re refusing. Grocery stores stepped up to try and help by offering discounts to any SNAP recipients and the USDA told them they had to stop. Starvation as a policy choice.

I realize this was strident but my whole winter happiness rests on satsumas

HEY BITCHES I FOUND SATSUMAS

I have not done Daylight Savings Time in a decade and I am not looking forwards to it.

Today, a coalition of seven charitable foundations announced the launch of the Literary Arts Fund, a historic philanthropic investment of at least $50 million to strengthen the nonprofit literary arts field in the U.S.

Good news is a breath of fresh airs: a new funding coalition to support nonprofit literary arts organizations

While the feds continue to play stupid games, SNAP recipients are set to lose food aid for the next month. In the Bay Area, a growing number of restaurants are stepping up to help, and we're maintaining the list. Share with anyone who needs it. www.coyotemedia.org/these-bay-ar...

This is happening in residential neighborhoods, and it was happening yesterday near schools.

One thing I'd recommend to young writers looking to build a career in the literary arts is to get a massive passion fruit vine, so you'll have to hack it back every few weeks & keep it from strangling the rest of your trees. Very cathartic.

Here's a handy graphic you can save and share if you're in the Bay Area

While this federal administration has been busy empowering ICE to become, essentially, an extrajudicial militia allowed to disappear people from our streets, the Bay has been organizing. We will not be beaten down.

The purported surge of ICE and Border Protection agents coming to the Bay Area are the worst fear of S.F. officials — even more so than the National Guard. From @esksf.bsky.social missionlocal.org/2025/10/san-...

has been speaking since 6:21 pm last night. in front of a sign saying "ring the alarm bells: authoritarianism is here now!"

It’s food. It’s taking the food from the mouths of children.

NEW: The State of Arizona sues the House of Representatives, demanding that Speaker Mike Johnson seat Adelita Grijalva or that someone else be allowed to swear her in. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Feeling deeply at odds with everything. Just, everything.

They are doing so much shit and all the newspaper needs to do is dispassionately report them; please, newspapers, make your headlines into literals lists of the things happening in the country/world, seems not that hard

I am struggling to have patience with myself lately, and I know there are a lot of outside factors pressing on us all right now, but if this is you too, hey, let's both just go drink a cold glass of water real quick

It feels tacky to care about a political drama In These Times but I am nonetheless excited to see President CJ and First Lady Josh
