He has now erased fully 10% of the term to which Grijalva was elected.

Shame on Cornell. And the new president's argument that the settlement protects their independece? 🙄 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

It is extremely hard and brave to be a woman who wants to take away other people’s rights, including women’s, and for that I am feminist

oh yeah. what could be more challenging than being a Catholic conservative white lady at Notre Dame Law?

Today is the day that the architect of this unforgivable mass murder of poor people got 1 trillion dollars

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

BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting. If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.

It's a meme, not a stock.

Long live the jury trial in America.

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

That's one small sub for a man, one giant footlong hero for mankind.

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.

Sandwich Guy thanks everyone for their support, “emotional, spiritual, artistic or financial.” Intones, “Let us not forget that the great seal of the United States says…‘ out of many, one.’…You all have a right to live a life that is free.”

Schumer is at least a decade past his ‘sell by’ date, and the sooner he fades away, the better it will be for the Democratic Party. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/05/n...

Disturbing news out of Auburn University, where the admin is pressuring professors to sign a statement saying they're complying with an "anti-DEI" law and TPUSA is holding a rally and trying to record classes. I hear faculty are terrified to sign, worried this is a pretense for mass firings.

Virginia has elected Ghazala Hashmi as the state’s next lieutenant governor, making her the first Muslim woman ever elected to statewide office in the United States. 19thnews.org/2025/11/virg...

Congratulations to Abigail Spanberger on her historic victory as the 75th Governor of Virginia! I look forward to continuing to work together to build a stronger and more affordable Virginia. Onwards!

Elected Democrats spending more time today praising Dick Cheney than Zohran Mamdani is a great case study in abject fucking moral failure.

The important thing is not this. It’s that nobody in the senate has said this is unacceptable and called for him to step down from leading them.

There is some sad irony in McClatchy shutting its DC bureau the same day that Dick Cheney died. That bureau (then Knight-Ridder) did some of the best, most skeptical reporting anywhere in the run-up to the Iraq War. And they took a lot of shit for it at the time. www.cato.org/commentary/q...

worth noting that Mamdani did *not* take the bait

BREAKING: After ICE refuses to allow detained migrants to receive the Eucharist, Pope Leo calls on Trump and Vance to respect migrants‘ dignity and religious liberty. “They must allow ministers to assist with their needs. They've been separated from their families and no one knows what happens.”

The eulogy Dick Cheney deserves. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/04/o...

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.

A lot of people get into law enforcement because they are emotionally incontinent and it’s a great opportunity to piss over everyone, violence-and-threatswise

Teen Vogue did some great journalism around immigration detention and enforcement. Sounds like corporate has now killed that off. The media landscape shrinks even further.

this is very cool: Kodak quietly relisted Kodak Gold and Ultramax on its website and confirmed to me it is selling the films directly to photography stores again. this is a big deal because for the last decade, Kodak has not controlled distribution of its own film www.404media.co/kodak-quietl...

Perfect. 60 Minutes edited out an important part of its Trump interview in which he boasts about extracting millions from its parent company on an utterly meritless claim . . . that 60 Minutes selectively edited its Kamala Harris interview.

$5M in Shein stock is crazy. to put it in perspective, a child would have to work three billion hours in a Shein factory to earn a 1/10000th of this

I’d so much rather take a risk on someone talented, energetic, and new than settle for a career politician whose tired ideas and compromised principles are being sold as experience. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/02/n...

I guess that should tell us something about security at the Louvre.

There’s also an added implication that if the economy was humming along Trump should be supported but there are about 50,000 other reasons to oppose him and it’s actually good to not think of them as distractions

Trumpiest house I have ever seen. They ruined (albeit spectacularly) a perfectly lovely 1830 townhouse in Alexandria. Can’t imagine why it’s not selling. apps.realtor.com/mUAZ/jmjg82qi

Douthat writes that 2024, when Harris lost by 1.5% of the popular vote, was "an ideological referendum and progressivism lost." I wonder why he didn't view the 2020 election, when Trump lost by 4.5% of the popular vote, as a far more significant loss for conservatism. bsky.app/profile/larr...

If you're in need of positive and rather wholesome news, there's a high school teacher named Bryan who took a ton of freely licensed celebrity headshots at the New York Film Festival last month for Wikipedia, and I truly can't believe how drastic the upgrade is for some articles (thread)

Lmao literally having a "we're rich" party while they cut SNAP is like cartoon level evil it's like the villain in a Dr. Seuss book

Just excruciatingly dumb—and trivializing of gross sexual exploitation and abuse—to cast Andrew’s downfall as the result of a “brotherly spat.” Do better, @theguardian.com

I commend them for being so laser-focused on turning every single Chicagoland suburb against them

Meanwhile a judge is having to tell his administration to feed the poor.

If you aren't paying attention to what is happening in Illinois/Chicago, you're missing out on Bovino and federal agents using tear gas, pepper balls, and force against the people. Check out our investigation alongside @evidentmedia.org

It’s a sad day when a judge has to order the President of the United States to feed vulnerable families and hungry children with funds already designated for that very purpose.
