A List of Things Said to Have Been Ruined by Women 🧵

Islamophobes on the other site keep sending me this AI of the Statue of Liberty, not knowing they were being purists not alarmists.

Someone said she’s got her sights on a bigger political future …

It’s a free canva font. That’s all I can see.

It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

The New York Times quickly sending out Douthat to argue that Mamdani’s victory doesn’t really matter is so predictable it borders on self-parody. Remember, folks: Every time the Right wins an election, it’s an undeniable expression of the will of the people. If a lefty wins, it’s just a blip.

Trump is apparently doing his crazy posts on video now. My theory: he heard Mamdani did lots of well received social media videos and he’s trying to copy the idea, just as he suddenly started talking about “affordability” today.

I missed this last week, but holy mola, China has approved the High Seas Treaty: dialogue.earth/en/digest/ch...

Again.

if you see anyone expressing shock that a candidate who exudes warmth and authenticity and wants to improve the quality of life for working class people won over a rapist whose entire campaign was "that guys a terrorist" that's not a smart person. you don't have to listen to that person anymore.

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning. This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

EVERY SINGLE ONE IS FUNNY

guys I’m sorry but have you looked through Getty images for yesterday 💀

This is brilliant. Please share widely.

The government shutdown is now the longest in American history — breaking the record set during President Trump’s first term. NBC News’ Sahil Kapur reports on the impacts of the record-breaking standoff between President Trump and Democratic leaders.

Next time anyone asks me how I keep going in these terrible times, I'm gonna point to this thread. I keep going 'cause we are not alone and incredible folks in every community are doing amazing things and WE CAN JOIN THEM! If you're in NYC, here's a starter pack to start to get you connected.

Federal workers ensure your heat is on, your families are fed, your childcare needs are met, & more. They deserve dignity & respect. But under the Trump-Republican shutdown, they are losing both their livelihoods and their ability to serve our communities. Shameful.

I guy named Posthumus whose career is dead, I demand to talk to the writers.

One must always take comfort in the silver linings of life’s trials and tribulations.

The Big Lychee

The Big Rambutan

Don’t worry, they will soon be mandatory in The Big Apple (which will also be renamed The Big Pomegranate).

Never forget that the ADL's history includes support for the execution of the Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. These are not people who give a damn about Jews as a totality. Their long-term project is the integration of Zionism with the far right. That's all it is. Everything else is just conversation.

Same as it ever was.

You just sparked a memory of one if the best meals I've ever had - travelling by motorcycle through northern Vietnam 16 years ago. Goat with a bunch of aromatic spices and loads of black pepper. I can still taste it

Goat is literally a delicacy in some countries - more tender and lower fat than lamb or beef and preferred over chicken. You can’t even compare it to mystery DNA franks.

Can not stress enough how cartoonishly perfect of a day it is in NYC today. A comfortable 65 degrees. No cloud in the sky. Most golden light you have ever seen. It’s like the city is on a soundstage. You would call it corny if you saw it in a movie’s ending.

Mary Sheffield will become the first woman elected mayor of Detroit, CNN projects. Follow live updates. https://cnn.it/4oRiL7z

This is as big a deal as Mamdani actually? In forever fascist ass MS...??? Like....

hmmm maybe it’s time for another… #SecondHend #AmrySurplus #GoodHendHunting

Did you see this? Thought it was fascinating, may make you feel a scootch better bsky.app/profile/kend...

The Zionist Times promising to smear Mandanis historic win for as long as they’re in business.

I need all of y’all to read that last sentence and internalize it.

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

REMINDER: A socialist act by a New Yorker was a major reason why polio was eliminated in the US.

I think that’s Debra messing melting. :(

Journalism can be a thankless job but every now and then you get to ask the guy who threw his shoes at Bush what he thinks about Cheney's death and it's all worth it again

This is huge — and in general it was a blue wave here. Also kicked our ICE-loving sheriff to the curb!

Everyone follow @boltsmag.org for good coverage of important things

Imagine the Islamophobic attacks if Mamdani was born on US soil instead of Uganda and qualified to run for president.

this is the meanest thing Zohran Mamdani has ever said

Normal people are just sick to fucking death of the cruelty and meanness

Neck to neck…

a papadum in every pot.

Jefferson County school is cancelled for tomorrow in Louisville.

Fuck. That’s bad. Louisville is UPS’ central air hub. Every single next day air package shipped through UPS goes through Louisville.

Got off the runway and crashed just outside the airport. Looks like they had an engine failure at a point where they couldn’t stop and didn’t have the power to take off completely, it just skimmed into the buildings nearby

Yikes. I have lots of friends and family in that area. It looks like there's a shelter-in-place order for all areas north of the airport to the Ohio 🙏
