With their Mamdani hotline, the ADL has solidified its image as an organization driven primarily by Islamophobia and racism, not fighting hatred of Jews or hate crimes. Un-fucking-believable. This is most certainly *not* good for the Jews either.

"Call me old-fashioned, but I prefer a city where everyday residents have to work three jobs and are under constant threat of eviction. Anything short of an excruciating existence for the working class just doesn’t cut it for me."

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

Whew grief!

Preorders help so much.

My copy arrives tomorrow!! Yay!!!

Mamdani got a humanities degree. His win helps to illustrate that one of the central forces driving higher ed’s dissolution of the humanities is the fear that teaching people how power works can also lead to their interest in seizing it on behalf of the less powerful.

From CBS News:

New Mexico's entire CJA panel told Chief Judge Gonzales they're refusing to take cases until they are fully funded. That means everyone: defense attorneys, experts, investigators, social workers, and paralegals The CJA panel is equivalent to contract public defenders in State systems 👀 @nacdl.org

I'd missed this: Democratic-endorsed candidates *swept* the 6 school board races in Mecklenburg County, one of North Carolina's largest counties (home to Charlotte). This means there won't be a Republican on the board anymore; the sole GOP incumbent was ousted.

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

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.

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...

ALL Haymarket EBooks are 80% off through November 7th ✊🏾✊🏿✊🏽

THIS!! Politics is ab CREATING change. Dems have spent decades trying to triangulate, analyze, meet Most Likely Voters where they were at the last data point, and that's wrong wrong wrong on every level. People want to be inspired, and the way you inspire them is by looking ahead of where they are.

The selected works of Eugene V. Debs volumes I-V are currently only $2 (ebooks) at @haymarketbooks.org www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1246-t...

This essay contains the story of how the lure of hot amala nearly made me and my friends fail an exam during my undergraduate degree. There is also a nod to when we decided to brainstorm on what the plot of the original Sound of Music would have looked like if given the Nollywood treatment.

Black women and a black man winning everywhere but you're supposed to accept the blackwater merc with a Nazi tattoo as the best we can do in Maine

1/5 EXCLUSIVE: I’m in Kampala, Uganda, where I’ll be living & reporting this month. Since it’s @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social’s hometown, I wanted to share a bit of the pride the people of Kampala have on NYC’s Election Day for their hometown boy (full video here, feel free w credit to thrashery)

LOCAL ELECTION RESULT: Let me congratulate @zysaidso.bsky.social for her election to the Charlottesville School Board. For those wondering: Zyahna Bryant was a student organizer who led the successful fight in removing two confederate statues from downtown Charlottesville.

“The data, compiled by the Middle East Studies Association and the American Association of University Professors and relying on publicly available records, offers a detailed account of how landmark civil rights legislation…has become a primary tool to restrict speech on campus.”

The next 12 months will be the most consequential for American politics since the 1850s. I don't say that glibly. We warned what would happen and they've done it and more. It appears we still have free elections, and so now they will now throw everything they have at us, a fascist kitchen sink.

To create today is to create dangerously. Any publication is an act, and that act exposes one to the passions of an age that forgives nothing… Albert Camus

Like I am so thrilled for NYers! Mamdani is truly a force, and his win gives me hope.

YESSSSSSS go Mamdani!!!

🥰

A masterclass. And honestly, he seems like such a genuine, charismatic guy.

The whole world is taking a breath of hope. Genocide is out. Love is in. Free Palestine.

Self-promotion, but will be giving a talk on something I have been VERY slowly working on at University of Oxford next Tuesday (11 November) at 5 pm! talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/26c...

There are a lot of assholes in academy, but I am truly glad to connect with lovely peps who are not assholes.

I have eaten a lot of the peanut-based candy that my child received for Halloween. And it my belly would like a word. 😂😆

I think the norm where academic presses own copyright of the author’s work is not a good norm

All day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:

😂

if you want to know what happened to Teen Vogue yesterday, my work wife @allegrak.bsky.social — who ran our politics section for 6 years until this past June — said it all in this. can't even pull out a favorite part til I sign my separation letter lol, just read the whole thing.

The hundreds of thousands of Black & Latino men who were subjected to stop-and-frisk did not have the option to “leave NYC.” They endured the reign of Bloomberg - the beloved choice of elite New Yorkers - who even supported changing the law to give Bloomberg a 3rd term.

He indeed gets worse and worse. The inhumanity is staggering.

Hello dearies, I've made available online my syllabus for the course titled, Bodies and Sexualities: Transnational/Queer Feminisms It's a reading-heavy course (3hours each week, 8 weeks in all) for MA Year 2 students with a guest lecture. You can consult it here: doi.org/10.13140/RG....

As a nine year old?????

I talked with @bethbarany.bsky.social about how curating an exhibition got me into monsters; on what makes a good #SFF monster; #StarTrek’s Borg Collective; and lessons from Monsters, Inc. Listen wherever you get your podcasts! 1/ 💙📚 🗃 #histsci #politics #HAMH writersfunzone.com/blog/2025/11...

I was chatting with my therapist yesterday and I mentioned casually that I have haters. She was surprised that I never previously mentioned them. Then we unpacked why that was and how it made me feel. I appreciated it immensely.

all the staffers at teen vogue who just got laid off I hope yall feel how appreciated your work has been by so many.

i'm a very biased party here but pretty much everything about the Mamdani campaign and the discourse around it thus far is a pretty thorough vindication of Africana Studies
