IT IS TIME!!!! Get that butter and oil. It is time.

Hi writers! I’m looking to assign a couple of features for Slate before the end of the year. If you have anything in mind that you think would be a fit please send me a pitch! Jenée.Desmond- [email protected] or dm me. RTs are appreciated so this can reach more people. Thanks!

We have updated our call script so you can let your Senators know how you feel about this (TERRIBLE) deal they just advanced... 👉🏽 5calls.org/issue/federa...

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

DONALD TRUMP: [asleep, drooling on long red tie] SENATE DEMOCRATS: fine, we give in

A week, they couldn't even let us feel hopeful and optimistic for a single week! We JUST awarded and co-signed their current strategy 5 days ago!

These 8 Senators sold us out to Trump: Hassan King Cortez-Masto Shaheen Kaine Fetterman Durbin Rosen Understand This Fact: Chuck Schumer is behind this. None of these 8 are up for reelection in 2026. Schumer asked them vote yes—they agreed. He's such a coward that he folded and won't even own it.

This is what makes me so ill about the whole thing. It’s 💯 about them wanting their thanksgiving travel plans to be on. Breathtaking cruelty.

Want a party that actually fights back? Run for office. We’ll help you. runforwhat.net

congress sounds so cool i wish it was real

Every single one. This was a coordinated betrayal, timed intentionally after we delivered victories for them, we should respond as such and get every single one of them out.

Okay, Ezra is confirming that he's hearing D senators are actually plotting to cave to Trump and end the shutdown WITHOUT any extension of the ACA, just a promise of a vote later down the line. Call your senators, friends, NOW, and tell them NO DEAL without ACA funding! Find them here: reps.fyi

Love the annual transition from “you better pumpkin that baby” to “why that baby ain’t got no coat on”

been doing some light reading about the aftermath of the korean dictatorship and I think it's really important that we repeat this to ourselves, to our friends, to our neighbors, to our politicians

If you’re stuck at an airport right now, it’s because Trump fucked you: defector.com/if-youre-stu...

With SNAP benefits going out late, nonprofits are begging for pet food donations to prevent desperate owners from surrendering their dogs and cats to animal shelters.

dora.nyc this is OUTSTANDING. super navigatable directory for food distros, resources. and easy to remember because it’s like the explorer but also— directory of resources & aid

What a round up,,, thank goodness for this strong work from Dems—it’s about time!

Lord I see what you have done for others 😩

You see how many of these politicians CARRIED in their election races WITHOUT throwing trans people under the bus? Exactly, exactly.

People still matter. Good morning.

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

It’s still no, you raggedy bitch! Stop calling my phone!!

Dems in ARRAY

Happiness really is shocking sometimes.

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

I really needed this.

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

Ready for some top tier jokes today.

For those of you who don’t know, the residents of Paterson are overwhelmingly Black and Latino. newjersey.news12.com/bomb-threats...

Ending Target will be some of Black people’s finest work

Elaine Welteroth, former editor-in-chief of Teen Vogue and youngest editor of Condé Nast ever, and the 2nd African American to hold this position, changed Teen Vogue to be more politically conscious. Traffic to TeenVogue.com: 2.7M to 9.2M visitors a year, print subscriptions jumped 535%

No more Black or trans staffers. No politics of any kind. The cowardice of mainstream media isn't just insulting, it's *boring.* Now TV is just like any other beauty rag. Why not just kill it quickly? Why the slow-motion pretense?

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members. At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

Long live Guilloteen Vogue

For any unfamiliar with the quality of journalism at Teen Vogue, it's well known for hard-hitting stories on "politically sensitive" topics including climate. Then there's CBS: the only major network to increase climate coverage in the last few years. They just axed nearly their whole climate team.

Teen Vogue has become a top-tier political journalism authority and doing this the day before election day is just cruel.

Someone give Lex $2 million so they can launch a politics version of Teen Vogue. Do it now. No strings attached.

This is so devastating. Teen Vogue’s political reporting was what made me SO proud to have my work up there for the first time…. *checks notes* less than a month ago ??

France should have kept its language at home then.

Wait it’s NOVEMBER????

He just like me fr fr

What I mean when I order a Caesar salad. Not these sad lettuce numbers drowned in sauce without anchovies.

Today is Artemis’s birthday! He turns five today! As a Halloween baby, he hates costumes. His sitter tried to get him to cooperate. After many attempts, the pineapple hat was a no-go.

This piece is excellent. “Real working-class politics does not assume the worst of working-class people’s impulses. It does not launder their concerns for political points. It certainly does not argue, directly or indirectly, that a little racism is a good thing for reaching them.”

“We don’t have to live this way” is for sure my takeaway mantra from The Originalism Trap. Everything we’re seeing now—good bad and ugly—is a reminder: we can and should change things. Grateful for the scholarship and optimism here. Lord knows we’re in short supply

I am thinking of the people of Jamaica, and the many New Yorkers with loved ones there, as Hurricane Melissa — fueled by a warming ocean — grows into the strongest storm ever to bear down upon the island.

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

“Hey. I’m the actual Zohran Mamdani. Not the guy they talk about on this channel.” Zohran runs an ad on Fox News to undercut their endless unhinged fearmongering and greed-fueled racism.
