The goddamn nerve of Jeff Bezos' newspaper to talk shit about raising the minimum wage at a moment when workers at Jeff Bezos' online superstore -- who are paid so little half of them in one study were on SNAP benefits -- are going hungry. The fucking arrogance.

I just spent an hour chasing these ICE jagoffs through Bridgeport. They detained and questioned two old Chinese ladies (clearly dangerous criminals) then let them go. They are terrorizing the entire neighborhood. There have been people abducted this morning. I'm beyond enraged.

Underage girls cannot consent, @nzherald.bsky.social. And if the sexual service were “commercial”, then not only was she raped by a man, she was trafficked by someone for that purpose.

US president says Gaza ceasefire 'working out very well' despite deadly Israeli attacks and severe aid restrictions.

UPDATE: U.S. District Court Judge Sara Ellis said she will issue a sweeping injunction limiting the use of force by federal immigration agents in the Chicago area after she found a litany of violations were committed in recent weeks.

The war inside Heritage has been described to me as the start of the post-Trump civil war within the GOP. Sources told me it’s not really about antisemitism. And I think that’s true. But antisemitism animated a lot of how this blew up.

Another good example this reporting makes no sense in a larger context in which they’re starving children. Only once you acknowledge the racial project does this make sense.

Meta earns $3.5 billion every six months from showing Faceboon and Instagram users 15 billion “higher legal risk” scam ad impressions a day, internal documents state. That haul vastly exceeds how much the company expects regulators To fine it for running scam ads. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

This is a perfect example of capturing hate, which coincidentally is the name of a major project I’m working on

Hmm

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.

I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

I find the op-ed declaring Pelosi an "American political giant" almost as repugnant as Douthat. Yes, she did some hugely important things, broke barriers, & was a fierce tactician--until she wasn't. No getting around fact that fascism rose on her watch, & she was too slow, too cautious in the fight.

I 100% agree that NYC isn't a replicative environment to be transposed onto the national stage but I do seriously hope that in the coming weeks and months people actually grapple with how a Muslim nominee was besieged by people in his own party and out on the basis of being Muslim and nothing else.

I’m proud to teach an entire class on the history of the American jury system at CUNY Brooklyn College, which includes the abuses and possibilities of jury nullification

Let the elite corporate freak out continue. www.wsj.com/us-news/mamd...

I was one of the four people who got canned. In the interim, you can subscribe to my newsletter, Straight From The Hut. No paywall, but feel free to choose the pay to support model. I'm not going anywhere — the show goes on, and I'll be back on MSNBC Saturday night. straightfromthehut.substack.com

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

so @jakelahut.writes.news is a self-contained scoop-machine and this move by Conde Nast is—we're in mixed company so I won't cuss—effing abhorrent 🎩 @mollyjongfast.bsky.social

Nick Fuentes says people better be careful about calling him a Nazi "because if I'm a Nazi, then there's millions of young people that are following a fucking Nazi." Um, yeah, that's exactly what we've been warning about!

New: Conde Nast fired four employees who were among a group that confronted the company's head of human resources on Wednesday over the decision to fold Teen Vogue into Vogue/recent cuts. Employees who were fired included journalists from the New Yorker, Wired, and Bon Appétit.

I do wonder what it was like to be a woman working at the NYT and wake up to the “Did Women Ruin the Workplace” headline.

A U.S. Senate investigation led by Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) "has uncovered dozens of credible reports of medical neglect and poor conditions in immigration detention centers nationwide — with detainees denied insulin, left without medical attention for days and forced to compete for clean water."

In Signal chats, the CBP agent boasted to colleagues: “I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys.” If he felt comfortable enough celebrating the shooting of an American citizen, it speaks to a irredeemable organizational culture. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/whos-threa...

This is a really weird way to describe a phone number cops can call to find kids to kidnap

You'd think it would be bigger news at all that the Vice President of the United States demanded that his party be more accepting of literal Nazis, including the one who spewed gutter racism at him and his wife!

“.. in a group Signal chat, .. he wrote in part: ‘I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys.’” @reuters.com #Chicago www.reuters.com/world/us/bor...

Holy crap. MAGA diehard Danielle Jurinsky lost her city council seat in Aurora, Colorado. She more than anyone is responsible for ginning up the false claim that Tren de Aragua had "taken over" the city. She also repeatedly tried to dissolve the city's groundbreaking public defender office.

Brava: “If I don’t file a complaint, then what message does that send to all Mexican women?” Ms. Sheinbaum said at her daily news conference, noting sexual harassment was a crime… “If this can happen to the president, what’s going to happen to all the young women & women across our country?”

the latest in the social media postings of Virginia state Senator Louise Lucas:

I’m gutted by this decision. So many excellent editors and writers impacted. My column, Disability Visibility is no more as well. Many thanks to Allegra for giving me this amazing opportunity www.teenvogue.com/contributor/...

someone got indicted on the basis of “transporting antifa materials” for allegedly transporting a box of ZINES THEY’RE PROSECUTING PEOPLE FOR DOMESTIC TERRORISM OVER ZINES

It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column

this is actually impressive, making up a brand new nobel peace prize replacement is a genuine innovation in bribery absolutely nobody does corruption like FIFA

I’ve literally seen this movie before.

Extreme swing over the last 10+ years: from exposing corruption that took place in Trump Tower, to everyone just proudly doing open corruption in Trump Tower.

This isn’t true. I was there. (from The Argument)

Federal immigration cops are using "wellness checks" on minors as a ruse to get into homes and arrest people for alleged immigration violations. In this case, an alleged check on a 17-year-old let them arrest his 22-year-old brother, who was brought here at 11 and has protected status.

The ADL is also playing a role in delegitimizing antisemitism in the US among people on the left, IMO, when they do stuff like this, which is incredibly dangerous.

Full text of the Erdan post here. They are increasingly realizing that US-Israel relations are due for a change. I think they will struggle with the "rebrand" inasmuch as "younger" and "minority" Americans have protest repression in recent memory.

These guys' whole business model is presenting everything they're mad about as a breaking development so they have to be like "sadly, there are immigrants in New York now"

What shocked me most about the death threats sent to teachers in Arizona in recent days was that they didn't come from extremists on fringe platforms, these were sent from seemingly regular people on Facebook. Here's a sample of what they sent: www.wired.com/story/arizon...

It's going-out-of-business day at WaPo.

It's the first time I am seeing Indian media & right wing in India not celebrating the victory of an Indian origin, after Zohran Mamdani won the New York Mayor elections Because he is a Muslim, he is a democrat, he supports Palestine, he hates Netanyahu, and he mentioned Nehru in his winning speech

v pleased Sotomayor just said this same damn thing at oral argument in the tariffs case like UM didn't we say in the student loans case?? DOJ said this is different bc there's a foreign emergency; Sotomayor said ok bet, so we say global warming is an emergency and then we can have loan forgiveness?

It's giving LIVE LAUGH LOVE mass produced paintings hung on the walls of an air b n b just this side of grimy.

They are trying to do representative democracy. What are they ? The American experiment.
