Thinking back to this excellent concluding paragraph from @lioneltrolling.bsky.social's Substack post after Zohran Mamdani's initial primary victory:

Go Fund Me for the teacher who was kidnapped in front of children in her classroom today: www.gofundme.com/f/stand-with...

LINA KHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he's serious!

There is a lady on TikTok who is doing a social experiment: she is calling houses of worship and asking if they could help her get formula for her baby (telling them food bank is out). So far, 3/22 have offered help. One was a Black church and the other was a mosque.

Yoooo my kid just told me her classmates were singing the "the name is mamdani" song at school All the way here in north carolina Second graders IM FUCKING CRYING

I’m gutted by this decision. So many excellent editors and writers impacted. My column, Disability Visibility is no more as well. Many thanks to Allegra for giving me this amazing opportunity www.teenvogue.com/contributor/...

Good morning from Austin, Texas

When in Rome @pamelacolloff.bsky.social

@onthemedia.bsky.social can we have a segment on Lex and the gutting of Teen Vogue please!!

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...

here is my story about how Zohran's focus on community amid the loneliness epidemic helped young people connect their politics to an organizing infrastructure, that interviewed ZM, and does not use the NYT's framing of "they don't know how to make friends" :-) and also ran 4 days before NYT's lol

It really is pretty shocking that Mamdani won even after referring to his dad’s cousin as his aunt when she was really his first cousin once removed

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.

the best thing my mom ever did was encourage me to do a summer abroad with a host family via AFS. Amman, Jordan 1987🇯🇴🇯🇴🇯🇴

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

Now on to the next election: three TesLa board members at the company’s AGM tomorrow

Beating a guy in an election and quoting his dad in your victory speech is a FLEX.

What a night. What a moment in history. What a journey. There are too many people for me to thank, but I will try to do that in the coming days. If you’ve been with me on this journey, much appreciation and love. Go @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

Legit question who is going to primary Chuck and Hakeem?

“Turn the volume up” is just insane contemporary speech work.

People who are leaving NYC, please post pix of your U-Hauls!

This NYT story about how Mamdani dealt with the opposition by the city's elites fails to mention one particular elite institution: The NYT editorial page, which last June railed against him as "uniquely unsuited to the city’s challenges... lacks political savvy" www.nytimes.com/2025/11/04/n... 1/

Once more, for old times’ sake

i will read 6,000 words on why centering public transit was a winning campaign strategy

More people voted in New York City’s election this year than they have in 50 years. That’s a win for democracy, and a testament to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's inspiring campaign. Congratulations to the next mayor of the greatest city in the world. 🗽

Looking forward to picking up some cheap Manhattan real estate!

California voters on Tuesday approved Proposition 50, the ballot measure to redraw the state’s congressional map in favor of Democrats. See how each county voted with live provisional results that are updated every 10 minutes: bit.ly/4oNtf80 📸 Jungho Kim

If you’re wondering what the future of the Democratic Party looks like, watch the young, brown democratic socialist on the TV right now.

when I moved to California I drove across the country, and there's a Eugene Debs museum in Indiana

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

SNAP benefits will be gone, small businesses will suffer, insurance premiums will double, air traffic will be delayed/halted: All of these things are happening because when the gov't shutdown ends, the Epstein Files get released.

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

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.

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 key to any reporting trip is to start with breakfast at a local joint. Good morning from Austin, Texas!

hire all the fired political teen vogue writers and make a new magazine call teen rogue. we’ll all subscribe en masse

Norway‘s sovereign wealth fund disclosed that it voted NO on Elon Musk’s new pay package 🇳🇴https://www.nbim.no/en/responsible-investment/voting/our-voting-records/meeting

About Teen Vogue, I don't read or care much for a lot of mainstream media, but Teen Vogue is the only consistent non-Native media outlet that has always done an incredible job reporting on Native issues and giving our talent a platform to shine and not just to fill their "diversity" quota.

wtf happened at Teen Vogue?!!

Newsletter: Faced with blowback over his pardon of Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, President Trump has offered a curious defense: he doesn’t even know the guy.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

I love a raptor center 🦉also Barn Owls are absolutely amazing to see up close.

Is there ever going to be an interviewer who pushes back and tells him that immigrants seeking asylum is different than insane asylums?

dissatisfied by the New York Times coverage of Zohran Mamdani? great news! I talked to the guy Thursday about his campaign’s success at bringing community together beyond this election, and contextualized how it’s potentially shifted youth engagement with politics by simply listening @teenvogue.com

$150 million might seem like a lot of money to pay for a niche subscription website, but the Ellisons knew that the ROI would be tremendous, and Donald Trump ratified that for them tonight.
