UPDATE: Now that 8 Senate Dems folded to Trump—Republicans demand tougher abortion restrictions to extend Obamacare funds. What? Moving goal posts? Lucy and the football? Who Could Have Seen This Coming?? This is why you don't back down from a bully! My God! My kingdom for a spine for Democrats.

I was awarded honors for "Last Train," then the group called it back up after to ask me questions about how I captured it 🥰

I am about to watch every Nolan transformer movie in release order. Please mute this thread if you do not want to experience my commentary on those films, or do not want to be spoiled by their content. I am beginning at Transformers (2007). This is a ~17.5hr expedition. Godspeed to us all.

Dead Nazis.

Adobe didn't double-charge me this month and I am counting that as a win.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court rejects a call to overturn its decision legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide.

It's done! Over! Finished! And thanks to all of you, we raised over EIGHT THOUSAND dollars for cancer research, putting our current running total at over FORTY-FIVE THOUSAND dollars since we started this. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

The proper way to eat one of these is to have the fries and salad never touch until they are ready for a single bite. Just like with bagels and cream cheese.

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.

Me having a perfectly fine morning: *phone rings* "Hey, mom." "Have you made any plans for when you die? Who knows your online passwords? What about your accounts? Have you made funeral arrangements?"

BREAKING: Following trial, Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump appointee, finds that Trump did not properly invoke federal law to call up the National Guard and "permanently enjoins Defendants’ orders to deploy federalized members of the National Guard to Oregon."

SNAP funds will be paid in full, proving that the USDA was always capable of paying the full November benefit. Remember that the Trump admin chose to let people go hungry. They chose not to fund SNAP until a court forced their hand. They chose cruelty and pain.

BREAKING: DOJ goes to SCOTUS trying to stop a district court order that USDA pay out full SNAP benefits this month. The First Circuit denied an administrative stay, but has not yet ruled on the stay request. And, CNN reported that USDA is already processing payments. DOJ went to SCOTUS anyway.

Lol someone should tell that to literally any politician in the Netherlands.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

Trans rights is a winning platform. Pro immigration is a winning platform. Taxing the rich is a winning platform. Affordable housing is a winning platform. Free childcare is a winning platform. Hating Andrew Cuomo is a winning platform. SOCIALISM IS A WINNING PLATFORM

“My message to ICE agents and to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate the law, you must be held accountable,” Mamdani said. newrepublic.com/post/202750/...

the dictionary definition of kobold is "3 feet of condensed bastard"

Same, girl.

“While we cast our ballots alone, we chose hope together,” Zohran Mamdani declared in his victory speech in New York City. Mamdani, speaking of “a new era of leadership,” will be New York City’s next mayor. On Dems, Debs, and DSA's big night:

MAMDANI: "I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life, but let tonight be the last time I utter his name ...."

The last New York City mayoral candidate to secure over 1 million votes was John Lindsay in 1969. Zohran Mamdani will be the seventh New York City mayor ever to receive more than 1 million votes.

Every county in Virginia shifted blue this election. Every single one.

I have never wanted to live in NYC this much, and I have always wanted to live in NYC.

Perfect.

Good job, NYC.

JUST IN: And, a closer race, but a huge result: Decision Desk HQ has called Virginia AG for Jones, the Democrat. election-night.decisiondeskhq.com/date/2025-11...

NEW: Decision Desk has called New Jersey governor for Sherrill. election-night.decisiondeskhq.com/date/2025-11...

HUGE. Important first result tonight. Decision Desk has called Virginia governor for Spanberger. election-night.decisiondeskhq.com/date/2025-11...

I met this man on a train platform in Astoria. I was on my way to work on a mostly empty platform, heading to the hospital in my scrubs, in peak pandemic, probably looking harrowed and half-alive. But he was out there, and approached me to tell me about his campaign for Assemblyman.

I am still mad about this, but I think I have made sure it will not happen again.

if you're in New York City, you NEED to vote for Zohran Mamdani. And then get involved with your local mutual aid group, food pantry, ice watch patrol, political organizing group — ANYTHING. There's nothing sexier than building community support networks in the face of fascism

Philip K. Dick gets it right again. Let's hear it for the vague blurs!

I am going to buy more flashes, I fear. Dice by @thegoldengorgon.bsky.social.

America is a very strange place.

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop. “If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???” Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is luxury, survive a month without it.

Go fuck yourself

Happy Halloween! 🎃

We have not paid ourselves at all this year, but we have managed to turn a small profit! Which is good for a first year online feminist publication that pays fair wages. We would really like to be able to pay ourselves. You can help make that happen: the-flytrap.ghost.io/chomp

Get ready to meet Sssudie.

I spent the entire Biden presidency warning idiotic establishment Senate Dems and Biden who opposed getting rid of the filibuster that Trump and the GOP would come back to power and do it themselves. I hate to say I told you so but… I fucking told you so.
