The regime despises poor people, yes. And importantly it does not fear poor people as a political force. It's important to take both of these together to understand what they are doing with SNAP. They do not believe that they will incur lasting political costs for their current actions.

Theyβre wearing masks so they canβt be prosecuted later. As long as they think they canβt be prosecuted, their crimes will intensify. They will torture, starve and kill, as they have already, on greater and greater scale.

The key thing to watch here: they fired a Wired political reporter. Thatβs the title doing the most effective, pointed work. Teen Vogueβs stuff was culturally impactful, but less focused on investigating the administration. Within the CondΓ© portfolio, Wired and the New Yorker are the canaries.

Iβm so done with Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, all the apps. Not wasting my time anymore. I think the best thing to do now if I really want to meet someone is to commit a string of highly publicized and notorious crimes, get sentenced to life without parole and just wait for the letters to pour in.

today i emailed the fire department to ask if i could arrange to bring my kid to the station for his birthday and they were like "yeah just ring the doorbell and ask if they have time to show you the fire engine." i guess it never occurred to me we could just show up and demand to see a fire truck

Ask any of your favorite Black women writers from a decade ago why their bylines stopped appearing, and youβll likely hear the same response: There is no place for us in media. In TV. In publishing or academia. For the majority of us, thereβs no place but gone.
