the harris campaign said the “they/them” ad didn’t sway the election. one of the trump campaign’s top strategists this week said trans rights isn’t in the top five issues for swing voters. when will the press stop talking about us like we’re a liability and start looking itself in the mirror

For those who don’t know, Lina Khan gave tech bros hell AND her ass to kiss when she was FTC chair. She was busting monopolies left and right. Gave Amazon and Meta the finger too. This is an EXCELLENT addition to his team.

There's been an escalalted nonstop attack on the people of Los Angeles for the past two weeks. Look out for one another & defend your neighbors!

With alt text. But also, Henri Levy's comment is also stating that New Yorker's who voted for Mamdani aren't just anti-semitic they aren't New Yorker's. Henri Levy was born in Algeria and his primary residence is a 150 million dollar house in Paris, he may own property in NYC but he's a tourist.

Turns out a lot of Americans understand that trans people aren’t the reason shit is expensive and people are being starved

[cuomo voice] you know what else happened in 2001

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

It doesn't matter if the GOP congressman who tweeted footage of 9/11 with the caption "WAKE UP NEW YORK!" was taking his cues from #Cuomo or vice versa. What matters is that the bigotry machine had by then whirred to life... defector.com/defeat-isnt-...

New Yorkers of conscience have a duty to submit as much dreck as possible to the ADL's cynical "Mamdani Monitor anti-Semitism tracker" www.adl.org/mamdani-moni...

*dusts this piece off* www.readtpa.com/p/want-to-kn...

Republicans running anti-trans hatefests lost and Zohran Mamdani is a hugely vocal supporter of trans and other LGBTQ rights. That is MASSIVELY important to look at and run on. Roll around in all this & soak it in. This is the good shit, & it should be celebrated. And then it should be Built on.

In the wake of Zohran winning Jonathan Greenblatt and the ADL have opened a tipline to report Antisemitism. Everyone should call to report Nick Fuentes, Elon Musk, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens and every other right wing group the adl refused to condemn with the same intensity they save for leftists

This person took this when they called the race

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

Zohran ran for mayor of Sesame Street and Cuomo ran for Mayor of “Escape from NY.” Our NY has problems big and small, but it takes care of each other and welcomes all and it’s OUR HOME. Last night was all of that - taxi drivers, Jews, aunties, young people, union members - all celebrating us!

love this bit re @jfrejnyc.bsky.social: "Sasanow described what people should do today: Find a political home, be it a nonprofit, mutual aid group, or a community garden, so you “have a network of people you want to be with as things get harder.” The article links to JFREJ's Thurs online debrief

Devastating. Teen Vogue's politics coverage has been incredible and this is a major loss for journalism. Legacy journalism keeps on getting rid of the only people making it worth anything anymore.

Teen Vogue was among my first big bylines. What I loved about it was that once I showed them I could report, editors from other sections of the website reached out with assignments. It was the first place that treated me like a strong reporter and not just a reporter for trans/queer stories.

Condé Nast finally achieved its dream of wrecking Teen Vogue and killing its politics section. www.thecut.com/article/teen...

Posting this from September now since Conde Nast is merging Teen Vogue into Vogue and cutting the politics section. www.teenvogue.com/story/men-dr...

If you read an amazing article from Teen Vogue about politics in the last several years, chances are that Lex McMenamin wrote it. Any publication that is serious about meeting this moment would be lucky to have them.

if you worked for teen vogue, in any capacity, i want you to know that your work inspired me and made a difference in the world. it really did.

The unchecked disease and hunger will piggy back off of each other as the immune system's ability to fight infection declines with malnutrition. Greece during austerity cuts but on steroids w COVID running around.

Because it’s cis kids. The NHS will quite casually give cis kids whatever treatment they need, even PBs👇 No trials. No concerns about side effects. No moral panic.

their plainly stated goal is to starve forty million people until they get what they want, which is to rip health care away from millions more that this is too monstrous for most news organizations to tell the truth about does not change the facts

Just another Bunny Witch for #Zohran @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

If defunding of SNAP benefits isn't a GOP pain point tactic, why aren't we seeing large companies step up to help??? Seems eerily silent from the big box stores & grocery chains, not to mention Amazon/WholeFoods!

SNAP has reserve funds for government shutdowns. They are being blocked by Trump. Release the funds!

Neguse: "Does anyone here not believe that with one phone call from Speaker Johnson -- one phone call to the president or the secretary of ag -- that those funds would be released tomorrow? And that families wouldn't go starving by the weekend?"

"No further delay should be acceptable." Proud to co-author this #LongCovid declaration to demand urgent action to fully recognise, treat and prevent Long Covid with @thewhn.bsky.social @winslowsp.bsky.social @togetherwemask.bsky.social et al

The newspaper that mainstreamed Chris Rufo, Ben Shapiro, Bari Weiss, and Charlie Kirk renews its calls to meet fascists halfway:

The Satmar community is condemning those who are calling @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social antisemitic: "In the streets there is a fear and hate campaign against Zohran Mamdani, Portraying him as if he is against Jews, IT IS FALSE, AND SUCH A CAMPAIGN IS DANGEROUS AND AGAINST THE TORAH WAY."

Members of the National Guard in Illinois are refusing to comply with the MAGA regime’s white supremacist authoritarian power grab in Chicago, modeling for other members of the national guard what it looks like to stand up to the white supremacist faction. www.cbsnews.com/news/illinoi...

@getfree-mvmt.bsky.social is organizing a school walkout in case of a federal invasion of NYC. Pay attention: This is a promising tactic, one of two highlighted by @ericblanc.bsky.social in his excellent piece on how organizers can escalate after #NoKings: www.laborpolitics.com/p/after-no-k...

NYC Parents: Ready to encourage your kids to walk out to defend their futures?

I like how Zohran Mamdani scandals are like "He called his old cousin his aunt one time" and Andrew Cuomo scandals are like "He sexually assaulted 13 women."

"Mamdani's proposals, such as freezing the rent for some New York tenants, free buses and free child care, are not only feasible but also build off the foundations of previous New York City laws, political analysts told ABC News."

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Excellent clip on the history of hostile architecture in NYC-it’s current form seen in the leaning benches in subways &lack of any seating (except Amtrak Lounge) in Moynihan station impacting ppl who are unhoused, older, and/or disabled. Of course, Robert Moses & his legacy are responsible for this.

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness) As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

The new @handsoffnyc.bsky.social coalition consists of— • labor unions • faith-based institutions • advocacy orgs • base-building membership orgs. We must prepare against Trump's inevitable attack on NYC. Sign up here to join the mass call (Wed, Oct @ 7:00pm EDT). www.mobilize.us/nycindivisib...

The united front for democracy against federal fascism has so far been led by Indivisible + other formations like 50501. When it comes to coordinating this front, at least in NYC, most of the Left and organized labor have largely been absent. But HandsOffNYC.com may be what gets us all locked in.
