lmao

I'm one of the four fired employees. I was a writer & producer at Bon Appétit for nearly five years, during which I helped organize our union and sat on our bargaining committee. I am, to my knowledge, the only trans woman in our union and the only trans woman on editorial who doesn't work at Them

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.

🫡 signed up!

I wrote about one lens of understanding Mamdani's victory, which is as a campaign that corrected many of the mistakes Democrats made in 2024 newrepublic.com/article/2027...

Friends— here it is. Updated & expanded thanks to the space afforded to me in the @therumpus.net & the guidance of the brilliant @roxanegay.bsky.social’s edits. The win centers Muslims humanity — but what does that mean in a country that rejects that? therumpus.net/2025/11/05/z...

Thinking about the young pair my Zohran canvassing partner & I crossed paths with yesterday: they were both maybe around 20, doing sidewalk nonprofit donation work. One of them spoke at length about how inspiring she found Zohran—and then asked to shake our hands. 😭 The kids are more than all right.

ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

I wish I could show you all the joyous photos and videos being shared on Muslim and South Asian WhatsApp right now with people reacting to Mamdani's victory. It's really beautiful and cathartic. So many years of anti-Muslim bigotry, racism & hate. And all those tears are now sugar for our chai.

This person took this when they called the race

I will always remember how our packed bar was totally rapt as we watched this speech. What a night. (And the bartender gave me free pizza. I ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ NY!!!!)

😎😎😎😎 GOOD THINGS CAN STILL HAPPEN 😎😎😎😎

Brad Lander is at the victory party and, folks, he has the custom one-of-one “GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE” shirt.

😭 NEW YORK WE DID THIS 😭 (feels right that the call came in while I was riding the R train lol)

NBC, The New York Times, and most importantly @hellgatenyc.com call the NYC mayoral race for Zohran Mamdani.

I'd vote against Cuomo a third time if I could

I’ve voted for them both consistently but Schumer and Gillibrand primary campaigns start tomorrow

This is worse than the worst thing ever attributed to any “Bernie Bro”. The Democratic leader literally refusing to say WHETHER HE VOTED FOR THE DEMOCRAT.

My thoughts on today. For alt text, I link to my instagram post in the alt, because it is simply too long.

Today’s the day. Vote if you havent yet. We have a city to win. We can win an affordable NYC, together.

Incredible

Rather beautifully, Professor Mahmood Mamdani's dedication in "Neither Settler Nor Native" is to his trail-blazing son, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social. He quotes the revolutionary Chinese writer Lu Xun's famous concluding lines in "Hometown": 「其實地上本沒有路，走的人多了，也便成了路。」 -魯迅，故鄉 #everynightapoem

Seriously—if you have Election Day anxiety and you can step away from work or aren't working this afternoon, hop on your nearest canvass. We got *so* many confirmations of Zohran votes this morning, but even when people wouldn't say how they were voting, it was great to ask them their plan to vote.

Incredible morning canvassing for Zohran—meeting so many of my neighbors who voted/are voting for him!—and then I got to vote for him myself. 💞 New York, we can do this.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future. Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.

If Mamdani wins I will leave New York. I will go live in one of the other 5 houses I have, perhaps the one in South Florida, or the one in Paris, or Napa, or Cabo, but I will definitely leave New York. I will keep my apartment, though, because it's awesome and New York is great. But I will leave.

It's almost as if letting the ultra-rich own the entire mainstream press and also all the big social platforms had a downside.

A few days after the presidential election one year ago, we went to Fordham Road in the Bronx. It was a little different last week.

Teen Vogue took young people seriously. It's impossible to overstate how important, how rare, and how profoundly needed that is.

Fuck. That's the other shoe dropping, then.

Just signed up for tomorrow morning in my neighborhood! 🫡 I'll cap it off by finally voting for Zohran (I vote day-of, like a Republican lol).

the issue with this piece isn't "siloing," it's a basic lack of rigor in the reporting on Cuomo's time as governor, which is treated as a triumph until 2020. Cuomo spent most of his time in charge stymying the progress this article credits him with achieving.

I do think NYC politics are v specific (not least because of the scale compared to most places in the U.S.) but why on earth wouldn't every Democrat look at these charts and say, "OK, how do *we* get this demographic breakdown?" (Hint: the answer is not "good tiktoks") gothamist.com/news/nyc-may...

Without the night shift, there is no morning.

“This is the party right now.”

We finally created the Great Gatsby from the classic book, Do Not Emulate the Great Gatsby.

(absolutely obsessed with issue 1 of this and i'm not even a real comics person, highly recommended)

This is how I’m spending Halloween

Scariest thing I'm seeing in the streets this evening is a kind of alarming number of Harry Potter costumes. 💀

For New Yorkers who work the night shift, it can be nearly impossible to participate in political life of our city. So tonight we’re bringing this campaign to them — starting with taxi drivers waiting at LaGuardia.
