It is also three in the morning where I am

I just wrapped up two apple upside down cakes and two double portions of buttermilk cornbread (one southern style and one sweetened), and I’m so tired

My son is winning his battle against malnutrition, but the fight isn't over. He needs continuous care to fully recover. Please help us cross the finish line! Every share and donation fuels his journey to health. Thank you Vireted by: @mommunism.bsky.social gofund.me/5f2429cda

What is also cool is having to wait until March for a neurologist appointment. Here’s hoping my near solid three weeks of migraines don’t imply an urgent medical emergency!

In short: Migraines suck.

Engaging in malicious compliance to teach interfaith political organizing during the Civil Rights Movement and reading Letter from a Birmingham Jail to highlight King’s criticism of southern white Christians for abandoning their Black co-religionists.

Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.

Hey yall not what I wanted to do on my birthday but let it be clear "Death of the artist" is all well & good but you cannot Seperate the art from the artist when the artist is still alive, a terf & every penny they recieve reinforces their beliefs & is used to actively harm Trans folks! Let it Go!

Sharing again. Just so it’s clear it’s no longer for meds (bye bye healthcare 🤪) But it is for car insurance, utilities, help with rent, gas etc. Just things to keep me moving Also PayPal/cashapp/venmo: tessak13

I’m now never going to learn about your engaged ex because among the many words I’ve muted forever “then-fiancé” is there to protect me

I had managed to avoid Part 1 because I don’t know how many hours I have on this plane of existence and I want to spend zero of them on the affairs of terrible people if I can help it, but the screenshots of the above the paywall excerpts…I regret *being*

I saw an excerpt of something said by RFK and I’m fighting the impulse to scoop my eyes out of my head with a teaspoon

Yesterday I opened the internet and Trump had accused federal Democrats of seditious behavior deserving summary execution Today I opened the internet to see that he’s a one-man Mamdani fan club I am not ok

You should start with calling out your GOP colleagues, who mostly prevented Trump from being barred from office the last time he attempted to kill members of Congress for disagreeing with him. They’re going to do the same ostrich act for this. You’re going to treat them as normal.

::leaves internet to do job:: ::glances in to see how things are going:: ::discovers that the president has demanded the violent deaths of political opponents:: ::closes internet::

Exactly how I needed to start my morning (that’s only a little bit sarcastic)

This remains the provision that makes me want to smack the taste out of Democratic Senators’ mouths—with votes

Every time I see a list of terrible votes taken by Democrats in the House, I get to look at the name of someone I went to school with and be totally unsurprised

During our end-of-year campaign, every gift toward this plan is doubled. You can support us here: capitalbnews.fundjournalism.org/donate/?camp...

Democrats should have not defended her. She deserves censure.

I haven’t been writing for the last week due to migraines, but I’m wondering if my output would still be better than what Nuzzi worked on for months

Today is my birthday. I would like many things but from you specifically I want $2,500 for @scarleteen.com's annual fundraiser, which is supporting staff & volunteer healthcare this year. We need $2,500 to unlock a $10,000 match and this would really make my day! Donate to my campaign page here.

Still processing that an economic advisor to multiple administrations, business leaders, and top institutions was asking a known sex trafficker of minor age girls to be his wingman for attempting to coerce his academic mentee into a sexual relationship—years after he said that women aren’t as smart

Yes white people in the South have a significantly different form of racism that runs deeper in their society and shapes their politics. — signed, a descendant of a man who left Virginia at 12 because he said he’d die if he came of age where he was

This is going to sound like a wild idea, but we should move the DoJ from the executive branch to the judicial branch and make it like a 10 year appointment with a 2/3 majority for confirmation. The DOJ has always been vulnerable to this type of corruption; restructuring should aim to protect it.

That’s all of the sides though

On January 6, 2021, Donald Trump attempted to reject the popular will and install himself as dictator, overthrowing the US government and destroying the constitution. On January 20, 2025, with the assistance of the inaction and fecklessness of the opposition, he succeeded.

Guess who this is about

Well now I am not watching the finals because it is over and Jannik Sinner has won

MTG is an experiment in how little it will take for white voters to ignore red flags they’ve already clocked

You are watching American football. I am watching the ATP Finals. We are not the same.

It was announced on October 16, 2025 that VIBE was "joining forces" with Rolling Stone. As a result, the majority of VIBE employees were laid off. If you have the means to give, this team could use the support! www.gofundme.com/f/support-vi...

And this is why I know the Democratic Party is dying. There is an obvious answer to our current moment, and they don’t want to take it because choosing it will foreclose the politics that they profit from.

Part of the appeal of Trump is that he sells himself as not a politician and incapable of being bought because he’s “so successful.” An anti-corruption campaign from Democrats — especially after what we’re about to witness — could be a massive game changer if they go for everyone

One way I have found to mourn someone is to set up a monthly sustaining donation to a mutual aid effort they cared about. If you can join me in honoring Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social with a sustaining donation today, please do. Thank you Alice, and I will not let the bastards grind me down.

Alice has been such a brilliant light in the world for her joy, her passion, and her commitment to disability justice. May she rest in power.

The problem is that the people who have the power to impose consequences are themselves the people who need to be punished

This is your reminder that Pete was mayor when two historic Black firsts took their positions (fire chief, police chief) and both had resigned under pressure from racists before the end of his tenure. Pete did nothing to protect them. He’s been shit for a very long time!

I need to be evacuated as soon as possible This is a great idea to help spread my link. I’m at a point where I desperately need to get it out there I’m exhausted, and I can’t reach anyone, especially with Bluesky limiting me. Please do this for me. Post the code in public spaces. 😢🙏🏽

You needed to be saying this to your Democratic colleagues! There’s nothing we can do about it.

José I’m so sorry I can’t believe I talked about electoral politics like it mattered

What if instead of Cyber Monday (aka Daddy Bezos Day), we did a Support Indie Media Monday? What are your favorite indie publications? Who are some of your favorite freelance and indie reporters and commentators? Can we make this a thing?

Have any of you had migraines that were more brain fog than pain or sensitivity? This isn’t me trying to run a scientific survey or anything, just trying to feel less alone.

The only problem with this prompt is that as I see more answers from other people, I discover more answers for myself

Talk to the Senate Democrats who voted for it, because apparently they think paying off their colleagues for rightfully being investigated for their collaboration in a coup attempt is better than standing up for millions of Americans

its almost a month since lia smith, a trans woman who was in college sports until trump took office and banned her from competing, committed suicide her death has a wikipedia page but has yet to receive an ounce of news coverage in @nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com @apnews.com @cnn.com

A lot of Middle Village and Glendale NIMBYs are complaining about the planned interboro line, so before the comment window closes, let’s drown them out: contact.mta.info/s/forms/publ...

It’s so ridiculous but I love these movies

We all knew that. It’s you and your colleagues that seem to think otherwise, because CRs are the only way to force them to agree to funding. Instead, you’ve conceded the point after weeks of suffering which you rendered worthless.

The absolute fuck???
