those of us laid off from Teen Vogue were really fortunate to complete our fundraising goal — the laid-off staffers at VIBE deserve the same support, as Black media outlets and journalists continue to be targeted and discriminated against in “austerity” measures

9/ I had launch with Paulina Borsook last month in Oakland. Her life is hard, but she still has a lot to say! She's trying to raise funds to get a new version of the book reissued on the Internet Archive. Some of her friends have a running GoFundMe to support her: www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

If Cate can get $400 in the next few days (even just a bit at a time, small donos add up for real), she can pay this month's rent, cover her phone bill, and get some food Please help as you're able — donations & shares!!! 💖 venmo: @temptingcate cashapp: millicents42 paypal: CateOcean42

One way I have found to mourn someone is to set up a monthly sustaining donation to a mutual aid effort they cared about. If you can join me in honoring Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social with a sustaining donation today, please do. Thank you Alice, and I will not let the bastards grind me down.

‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’ —Alice Wong

I’m heartbroken at the loss of Leslie & for YB who he loved deeply & fiercely. For seven years, I had the privilege of knowing him—his mind, his humor, his boundless creativity, & unflinching political clarity. The world is immeasurably poorer without his voice. All gfm will cover funeral & expenses

flock cameras are in nearly every city in the country now and Atlanta police were using them for immigration searches. this is the model -- once the surveillance grid exists it can be turned on anyone atlpresscollective.com/2025/11/13/a...

it should be illegal for cops to be

today, a federal judge ordered the release of 615 people wrongfully abducted by ICE / CBP from june to october (yay!). as if they haven't already been through enough trauma and violence, they each still have to pay a $1500 bond (aka ransom & extortion) (boo!). donate here twd the $900K+ in bond:

please help if you can 🙏🏻🙏🏻

had a brief period of snow in atlanta just a bit ago. wasn't expecting that!

had to pay one more day at the motel which means I’m at least 🚨 $400 short of saving the storage unit with EVERYTHING I OWN w/ only ONE DAY LEFT TO GO 🚨 plus $475 for a full week motel ko-fi.com/katimcf

my kiddo is having a cardiac procedure today that we hope very, very much will be successful. please keep him in your thoughts and prayers 🙏🏻

my son is having surgery tomorrow and i should be packing and trying to manage my stress related to that, but instead i'm incandescent with rage at these fucking spineless cowards who have basically guaranteed i won't have health care next year.

Just imagining the meeting where they must have been like “they might cancel my flight? Time to kill the sick.”

"Travis Long Fox, 33, died Friday in a Sioux Falls hospital." "[F]ound unresponsive in his cell at the South Dakota State Penitentiary." "Nineteen men have died in state prison custody this calendar year, the highest number in at least a decade." #SouthDakota #USA #Incarceration

Girl Scouts in a Chicago Suburb hosted a food drive. But the girls encountered masked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents with weapons. "ICE turned it into a scary and what felt like an unsafe environment for us to be out with these kids" chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

still $500 short of overdue storage due in THREE DAYS, plus $475 one week rent - and every day i don’t get enough for the rent means another $80 added 😵‍💫 everything helps ❤️‍🩹 ko-fi.com/katimcf

what do we think the odds are that this whole thing was vibe coded and does not work at all? every image on the site is ai-generated and the copy is pretty fucking bad. caryfy.ai

“…each step toward AI-driven medicine is also a step toward deeper, more opaque forms of data capture, surveillance and social control.”

this is why i threw a fucking fit when my son's home nursing company told me they were moving to a care management system called "caryfy.ai". no. my son is not a data point, i do not want you to surveil his caregivers, and i do not trust that company for a second with his PII.

I have to confess "your browser's AI can be made to steal your banking info via prompt injection because it runs with full privileges and treats all text as equally authoritative sources of instructions, including the text of pages it's summarising" is more surprising to me than it should have been.

In a remarkably interesting move, the Eugene Police Department, in response to ACLU-Oregon's lawsuit against the city, has released a map of all the installed Flock cameras. This is a major win for Eyes off Eugene.

my son's home healthcare agency just emailed to let me know they're moving all charting and case management to a company called caryfy . ai. nope. absolutely not.

Aw shit, it’s that time again. In light of Link’s continued unjust banning, I am once again doing Fund Me Friday. Drop your links below and be sure to check the previous post for unmet needs. Also, y’all should check out other posts that take up Link’s good work.

Since having my baby I struggle with even keeping up with this kind of news. To think about hearing my baby cry and not being able to feed her makes me want to weep. But we can’t allow this to disappear from public consciousness

you probably shouldn't let what commentators like Ezra Klein say be the limit of your imagination or determine what you think is politically possible. He doesn't have a clue what is possible.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

been sitting here staring at this quote for like five minutes.

new: at least 26 unhoused chicagoans have been abducted since the start of "operation midway blitz." the full scope of people disappeared is likely much larger but is obscured by heavy criminalization, social stigma, and fewer eyes and phones around to bear witness. via @katieprout.bsky.social

I was one of the four people who got canned. In the interim, you can subscribe to my newsletter, Straight From The Hut. No paywall, but feel free to choose the pay to support model. I'm not going anywhere — the show goes on, and I'll be back on MSNBC Saturday night. straightfromthehut.substack.com

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

Bovino being questioned in the deposition, says he reports to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. Plaintiff attys also play a video they showed Bovino in deposition, which shows him telling federal agents, "Everybody fucking gets it if they touch you."

It's about the lingering whiff of mustard and onions on a cop's uniform. A scent that haunts his dreams and terrifies his family. A recurring nightmare of exploding condiments that will never let him go.

this morning, ICE went into a Spanish language immersion daycare and took a teacher from the building in front of screaming and crying kids and parents at dropoff and the daycare had to shut down for the day (near Lane Tech, where they were yesterday). Really hoping today's "theme" is not "daycare."

The centrist goal posts are going to move throughout the day and then through the week. They are silly and you can keep it moving.

thank you for the outpouring of support! those of us laid off from Teen Vogue yesterday are now sharing our GoFundMe to help us cover our emergency expenses now that we've lost our incomes, as we get back on our feet.

The government of Jamaica has set up a portal for contributing to official relief efforts. I will update this thread if anything analogous opens up for Haiti, Cuba, or the DR supportjamaica.gov.jm

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest. The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says. "I could smell the onions and mustard."
