PART ONE

truly a phenomenal night for messy bitches who love drama

(it's me I'm bitches)

2005 me: I love literary journalism, I love writers who bare their souls

2025 me: Stop stop oh my god please stop

So Larry Summers?

The bamBOO is a METaphor for the infiDELity

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Did Underage Girls Ruin Politics?

Tomorrow in the @nytimes.com

Amazing how many criminals get together and decide the first order of business is emailing each other about the crimes every three minutes

An unwrapped tamale.

Yesterday, when Bovino announced ICE would be returning to Little Village today, some of us donated and fundraised to buy out street vendors in the neighborhood. This morning, volunteers hit the streets at 6:30 am, looking for vendors to buy out. Tamales make an excellent breakfast.

Well, certainly less time consuming and less expensive than recall petitions…..

Does anyone know if their respective states permit recall of the Hateful Eight?

Gonna re-watch the Hateful Eight tonight cuz, I dunno, the title resonates right now….

🤣. Go get em Keebler!!!!!

No—you have REMOVED the pressure. Now things get worse.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You don’t get to Senate ‘splain US what to do. We tell YOU what to do. When you don’t do the job, we FIRE YOU. How dare you. People on SNAP and Fed employees are all over my feed saying they were willing to keep sacrificing. But YOU weren’t. Next!

She’s not old enough yet, is she?

Hi writers! I’m looking to assign a couple of features for Slate before the end of the year. If you have anything in mind that you think would be a fit please send me a pitch! Jenée.Desmond- harris@slate.com or dm me.

RTs are appreciated so this can reach more people. Thanks!

Resign, coward.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

They love to mansplain.

The only enforcement mechanism is Pam Bondi’s Justice department. That’s why you see these judges treading so lightly. They have no enforcement mechanism. They can only build a record for history’s sake.

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

Pope Leo calls for ‘deep reflection’ about treatment of detained migrants in U.S. “Many people who have lived for years and years and years, never causing problems, have been deeply affected by what is going on right now,” Chicago-born pope says.

"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world:

'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..."

There's a very real possibility the incoming NYC mayor has seen your nudes

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

The level of elite ghoul flopsweat going on over the NYC election is pretty unprecedented
