Let me just tell you that as a woman who managed people for most of her career that I was given feedback on several occasions for being overly direct. You’re not allowed to be direct if you’re a woman in the workplace folks.

it’s never too late for blue states to start offering amended/specialized birth certificates to trans people born in red states

it’s now impossible for both my name and sex on my passport and my driver’s license (real id) to match. how is that not very literally “differential treatment”!?

NEW: On the shadow docket, the Supreme Court lets Trump resume misgendering trans Americans on their passports, claiming "the government is merely attesting to a historical fact without subjecting anyone to differential treatment." All three liberals dissent. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

HAPPENING NOW: Judge McConnell is sharply rebuking the Trump administration for what he said was defying his order to make full SNAP payments by Nov. 5. He has ordered USDA to make the *full* payment to states by tomorrow.

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.

Jury nullification is good and it's a good sign for America's path out of authoritarianism that juries are recognizing their power to nullify.

According to this ranking, Canada’s reputation has improved since 2024. We are now the 2nd most reputable country in the world. The United States has dropped from 30th to 48th in that same year, the biggest drop of any nation BY FAR. Its reputation-peers are now Kuwait, Algeria, Kazakhstan…

Never forget: Moral purity is a luxury item.

Breaking News: Late last night Conde Nast illegally fired 4 union organizers who asked company execs to explain the downsizing of Teen Vogue and continued layoffs. We’ve filed a grievance.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Meta earns $3.5 billion every six months from showing Faceboon and Instagram users 15 billion “higher legal risk” scam ad impressions a day, internal documents state. That haul vastly exceeds how much the company expects regulators To fine it for running scam ads. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

manifesting a birthday present of someone on the zohran transition team taking interest in my resume 🤞🏻

Ross Douthat right now:

Employment lawyer here: the number of male employers who genuinely believe they should be able to sleep with their female employees and pay working mothers less than working fathers is most of them. They genuinely believe that it is an injustice against them that they might face repercussions.

i decided to peak at what lists i’m on and discovered that i: - support hasan piker - am pro-russia, anti-ukraine - don’t want to hear or talk about ai - talk negative about ai too often - am an “enlightened centrist” and resistlib - am a pro-genocide, pro-biden zionist

lol

it's going to be very ironic if scotus tears up the tariffs and that serves as the first major catalyst to the ai bubble popping lol

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike. Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%. Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

And this is why the corporate class shut down Teen Vogue.

i hope any confusion over the long history of extreme transphobia of the democratic party has been cleared by the events of tonight.

we’re living inside the most historic government shutdown in american history

PEOPLE DO NOT LIKE DONALD TRUMP AND THEY ARE DESPERATE FOR AN OUTLET TO EXPRESS THAT GIVE IT TO THEM

OH MY GOD THE MARIO CUOMO QUOTE

THIS SPEECH FUCKING SLAPS

does this mean i can get hired by the city to make really cool apps and websites that make life better for millions of new yorkers? that would be really cool.

this is the single greatest day in american politics in my entire life

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students. Follow AP for live updates.

Still waiting for the live cam of all the billionnaires packing up their NYC apartments to move to Ohio

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

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

BREAKING: NBC News projects: Prop 50 Congressional Redistricting has been approved.

the myth of multi-racial right-wing populism is dead, i think

NEW MAYOR JUST SAID EUGENE DEBS

AND THERE’S A FULL MOON TONIGHT TOO!?

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

Mamdani going through this list and upzoning every one that went Cuomo + 40

Mamdani cracks 1M votes, the first NYC mayor to do so since John Lindsay in 1969

y’all idk, dick cheney died and now all this? today is truly a holy day. a blessed day.

he’s going to die of a heart attack before the end of his term. the right will splinter. the new left will rise. jd vance will be a lame duck that lashes out every once in a while. we’ll elect the most left wing president in history in 2028— probably a woman or poc. maybe gay.

so the bad news is now that the shutdown has become his hitler bunker. he has now infinitely zero incentive to end it, because the second he does he begins the absolute worst (and final) chapter of his life. and all of leeches attached to him are in the blast radius.

in case you didn’t know, etymologically “apocalypse” does not actually mean chaos, hellfire, and holy war. it actually means something closer to revealing, uncovering, or disclosure. also, “armageddon” is just a place in palestine.

according to @jessyedwards.bsky.social of @hellgatenyc.com Curtis Sliwa just said on stage that he was offered $10 million to drop out of the race

Mamdani has won more votes than the entire population of any of the 5 smallest states.

the real takeaway from tonight is that americans across the country need to be nicer to their crazy right uncle and less afraid of their mean right wing uncle

The people yearn for Transgender Islam

i geuinely need help with this one. is donald trump invading new york city good or bad for stonks?
