Even if Bovino gets fired, ICE has to go.
Even if Noem is out, ICE has to go.
Even when Trump leaves office, ICE has to go.

As protests grow and ICE's popularity drops, we may see concessions and leadership changes, like Bovino's departure. ICE still has to go.

I find it moving that David Lynch loved IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE so much he couldn't talk about it without crying. His sincere belief in the redemptive possibilities contained in that film and what it said about people seems to me like a key element of understanding his own work.

Women’s status is eroding rapidly and dramatically—in employment, in culture, and in the law. But that is not considered important news; what’s considered important news is men’s aggrieved feelings about how we’re not being forced back into the kitchen fast enough.

Kind of crazy that evidence is mounting that the world is run by a group of rapists, pedophiles, and men convinced of women’s inmate natural inferiority, and the pundit class is trying to convince us that the real social crisis is that men are victimized and lonely because women have too many jobs.

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed.

The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

Bad night for sexual assaulters all around

NYC had almost 2 million voters, which is still not even 1/4th of its citizens, but the highest turndown for mayoral election since 1969!

dick cheney dies. spanberger wins. huge day for virginians who aren’t sociopaths.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.

At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

Got to explain what a drag queen was to a 9 year old today. Doing the lord's work!

He’s a very tough, masculine man, in case you didn’t know from all the sexual harassment he’s committed.

Rent Stabilized units increases 3% for the 3rd year in a row, making it a 9% increase on monthly rent since 2022. Needless to say, the average income has not gone up 9% in the last three years.

Who did this? Adams. Who's proposing a rent freeze? Mamdani

all the worst people are sad tonight and i just think thats neat

i would like it a lot of zohran did whatever it takes to keep lander involved with the campaign. ride a tandem bike with him in your ads man this is great stuff

After resigning in disgrace, Cuomo attacked the women he harassed with vexatious, punitive legal filings meant to bankrupt and humiliate them, and threatened to sue them for defamation. He wanted them to shut up. At great personal risk, they didn’t.

"A 42-year-old marries and impregnates a 16-year-old girl. They have two more kids in the next six years. Then one day, a St. Bernard sneaks into their quaint suburban home and the woman and kids convince the man they should keep it and name him Beethoven."

When adapting "The Odyssey" for kids, where Odysseus will instead be a 12 year old girl named Olivia, I now come to the crossroads of: do I have the other kids - her friends - die!?

Happy May the 4th! May I interest you in my TedTalk about why “Andor” is the best thing Star Wars franchise has done?

But that being said, no one under 30 is a better actor than Kaitlyn Dever. She's Gen Z's Streep.

Bruh, sorry, I was at peace with what happened to Joel, but the entirety of the show being stressful? I can't hack it. Even with two queer female leads, I think the "Walking Dead" of it all is ruining it for me. No heart, no nuance, no invention so far. I'll come back when it's over.

Male trees are causing you to feel sick!

New Pope just dropped

What if Elon is the first autistic person RFK has ever actually met and that’s why he assumes we don’t pay taxes or go on dates

AND A DOTING DAD

It was never about antisemitism From abducting college students to an attack on a Jewish governor, Trump’s real motivations remain clear.

“Being an American Jew is a mindfuck. And now we’re in more peril than ever because the destruction of this country’s university life and the lives of university students is being done in our name.”

Broadway directors have it tough, but I mean, it’s not like they’re directing a middle school musical.

Now that’s next level.
