i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist

Nick Pettigrew @Nick_Pettigrew Polio was eradicated because Jonas Salk chose not to patent the vaccine, if you want a perfect example of a socialist act. Quote Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63 · Jun 24 Socialism is like polio, it comes back when people forget about the horrible damage it did last time.

REMINDER: A socialist act by a New Yorker was a major reason why polio was eliminated in the US.

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.

They gutted the Washington Post. CBS. NYT. Now Teen Vogue.

The point isn't to bring in more conservatives. They've reached that saturation point.

They are killing the fourth estate and buying up the social media to control the messages we see. These were all targeted to disarm the left of truth.

in many ways Aiyana IS Teen Vogue and Teen Vogue is Aiyana. The idea that she was laid off today is painful to even fathom. Please follow her and offer her everything.

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.

...and less than 24 hours later Condé Nast has fired Lex and the rest of the Teen Vogue political desk, even as stories like this were bringing huge numbers of readers to the site

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

Trump still has not followed a court order to release SNAP funds for millions of people.

Meanwhile, he hosted a "Great Gatsby" themed party at Mar-a-Lago this weekend.

And he posted seven times about renovating a White House bathroom with marble and gold.

Priorities.

Teen Vogue took young people seriously. It's impossible to overstate how important, how rare, and how profoundly needed that is.

Teen Vogue Is Folding Into Vogue.com According to Condé Nast’s announcement, the outlet will keep its “unique editorial identity and mission.”

Condé Nast finally achieved its dream of wrecking Teen Vogue and killing its politics section.

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.

This magazine just fired all of their politics staffers

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.

Teen Vogue has become a top-tier political journalism authority and doing this the day before election day is just cruel.

“There’s too many Americans on SNAP!”

Yes there are. Too many corporations refuse to pay a living wage.

Huge companyies are encouraging their employees to apply for SNAP because they don’t pay them enough to survive.

The government encourages this & then blames the poor.

And again, a pattern of putting out statements accusing people of serious Federal crimes and then releasing them hours or days or weeks later with no charges. And no retraction.

Half the Country Sues Trump for Using Shutdown to Slash SNAP Funding The crucial funding is set to run out on November 1.

Nearly two dozen states are suing the Trump administration for failing to salvage SNAP benefits amid the ongoing shutdown.

If benefits expire on Nov. 1 as scheduled, approximately 42 million Americans—about one in eight people—stand to go hungry. trib.al/QKfahz8

John Dickerson To Depart CBS News In First Major Talent Exit Under New Paramount Owners John Dickerson, co-anchor of CBS Evening News who has been with the network since 2009, said that he is exiting at the end of this year.

dickerson is one of the best broadcast journalists in the game, and someone who would clearly be a real asset to a new leader interested in strengthening the network's journalism. but, of course, we know weiss isn't actually interested in journalism as such.

it’s wild that this is just sort of the most openly corrupt administration of all time and they’re just allowed to do that and most media doesn’t say a word about it

Apparently no one checked to see if there was asbestos in them there White House walls.

...If the White House kills him, like some kind of mummies curse, then it would be the most delicious kind of irony. I would eat that with a spoon.

It feels so weird to remember a time when sports betting was widely considered to be a scumbag activity

Almost every major news story this week is about how the entire economy is now gambling, scams, bribes and theft.

New ICE recruiting methods have resulted in half of this group of absolute winners failing AN OPEN BOOK TEST

SNAP benefits expire in one week.

If scientists ran the same experiment as many times as Dem campaign strategists have tried the experiment of throwing progressives under the bus to pander to the right and failed, they'd accept it as irrefutable proof that their theory is flawed and adjust accordingly.

A fundraising email sent by AIPAC that says: Dear [REDACTED], Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky has announced her retirement, and Illinois' 9th District will have an open primary for the first time in decades. Wasting no time to enter the race is anti-Israel detractor Kat Abughazaleh, a 25-year-old "social media influencer". Kat does not mince words when it comes to her thoughts on Israel and the bond between our two nations. Her radical foreign policy agenda includes: • Calls for unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state and labels Israel's presence in the West Bank as an "illegal occupation". • Baselessly blames Israel for the deaths of "tens of thousands" of Palestinians, without recognizing Hamas' initiation of the conflict on 10/7/23. • Promotes the International Criminal Court, a biased, antisemitic institution targeting Israel under the false guise of justice. And she's not just loud, she's well-funded - Abughazaleh has already raised nearly $1,000,000, positioning her as the financial frontrunner in the early stages of this race. If we don't act now, she could win. She poses a direct threat to our mission and the future of Israel's security. Fortunately, we have a fighter of our own: Illinois State Senator Laura Fine.

Yes, AIPAC. I do support human rights. Thanks for noticing!

learned recently that the guy who wrote "The Night Before Christmas," clement clarke moore, also wrote a takedown of thomas jefferson's proto-scientific racism in "Notes on the State of Virginia," basically accusing him and others of making it up to justify slavery. which, that's right.

I'm not a West Wing obsessed lib or anything but the more I see pictures of this the more fucked up I think it is. It's like he cut off one of the hands of the Lincoln memorial with an angle grinder so he could add a big gun to it.

The world is so filled with beauty and wonder and I feel very strongly both that it should be a kinder place to live in and that it is within our power to make it as such
