Donate to Help Laid-Off Teen Vogue Staffers Recover, organized by Lexi McMenamin More than half the team at Teen Vogue was laid off this week by our parent co… Lexi McMenamin needs your support for Help Laid-Off Teen Vogue Staffers Recover

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.

if there was ever an auspicious sign on a major election day cheney going to his rightful place in hell has gotta be fuckin' up there

I've said it before and I'll say it again now:

Live your life in such a way that millions of people do not rightfully have reason to cheer your death.

Sometimes I imagine how much more pleasant my life would be if I could exist without being impacted by the apparently endless grievances of old men who contribute nothing positive to society

think about what we could do with the money spent on REPEAT OFFENDERS alone

So, on Tuesday I was diagnosed with Lumbar and Thoracic Spondylosis. So I am doing six weeks of physical therapy to help. This also means I am taking medical leave from my job.

I set up a ko-fi goal to help bridge the gap while I fight for short term disability.

The above thread is from over a year ago and the key difference between that event and this one is that now the fascists are in power again so they're gonna make the fallout from their internecine battles literally everybody's problem.

All kinds of good news today!

There's an important lesson to be learned here. If you are a stupid piece of shit who dedicates their life to making the world worse people will recreate the ewoks celebration when you die so don't be a giant asshole

My completely unpleasant take is that you cannot make a career of inciting others to violence and normalizing using politics as a motive for violence and expect a good outcome. There has been a decade of sewing. And the reaping is of a bitter bloody harvest. My condolences to the children.

the people who mocked and made up shit about the attack on paul pelosi have thoughts about decorum and we should definitely take them very very seriously

You are under no obligation to mourn the death of people who would’ve celebrated yours.

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

Heads up, the fight is not over with respect to the trans care medicaid amendment. Marjorie Taylor Greene has reintroduced it on the House side. Call your house reps now and tell them not to approve it. Even republicans, especially moderate Republicans.

I think if we take away anything from the trans medicare coverage ban being taken out of the bill it's that pressure works. As stupid and futile as "call your reps!" can feel, we saw a direct result of it. Now you have to call and email your House reps saying you need the ICE funding gone.

I’m frustrated for many reasons at surface-skimming media history takes on AI like “people opposed the printing press too!” If media history is going to help us navigate the present, we have to reckon with something people often omit from those comparisons—the intersection of power & new media (1/4)

Senate Republicans just voted to pass the largest slashes to your health care and kids' nutrition assistance in our nation's history.

They're gambling with your lives to pay for tax cuts for their wealthiest friends.

The fight isn't over: call your reps at (202) 224-3121.

if you need a few wins to keep your morale up:

gender-affirming care ban: OUT

state AI regulation ban: OUT

excise tax on renewable energy projects: OUT

as bad as this is, giving up is not an option

📢 GIVE PEOPLE SOMETHING TO VOTE FOR AND THEY WILL 📢

as the month closes out this GAY MAGPIE wishes all you queers a happy pride once again!!!

THAT'S MY GOVERNOR DAMMIT

So many Dem leaders (and voters) would rather crater into autocracy than operate with the beliefs:

1. Your enemies are bad
2. They do objectively bad things on purpose
3. Either they win or you stop them

Democrats wrestle whether to kill ban on trans care in Trump’s ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ Democrats have an opportunity to protect transgender people’s health care. It also comes at a time when Republicans see anti-trans policies as a winning issue, Eric Garcia writes

This means that Democrats will have to raise a point of order on this part of the bill. This would force a vote on the amendment that would require 60 votes. Republicans have 53 Senate seats, so it means they would need to pick off 7 Democrats for this.

I was lucky enough to get to read this early! @brianjoneseducator.bsky.social makes a clear argument for the absolute necessity of Black history for any understanding of who we are and how we got here.

This is nonsense! LEVERAGE was about a furious ex-Catholic Irishman from Boston working with a staff of eclectic malcontents to express his raging hatred against rich people who bully and abuse less … powerful …

Ah.
