A better world is possible.

A SSRS/CNN poll showing 61% people think Trump has gone too far using the power of the presidency and 57% think he's gone too far deporting immigrants.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

In general i think a lot of our fights for the future look just like this before they look like juggernauts that can't be stopped, especially when they are not candidate-centric fights.

DO NOT THREATEN ME WITH A GOOD TIME, MIKE SWEETIE

“They have better parties”

Note that “the city” here is “the right.” The rest of us are enemies.

They’ve all gone mad.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott: “After the polls close tomorrow night, I will impose a 100% tariff on anyone moving to Texas from NYC.”

ICE is thug trash.

It’s truly scary how few mainstream publications are willing to publish working class voices and perspectives (let alone leftist ones), and every one we lose is yet another blow to the fragile hope for a better world

YES YOU SHOULD VOTE IN LOCAL ELECTIONS TOMORROW EVEN IF MAMDANI IS NOT ON THE BALLOT WHERE YOU LIVE

Trump ally Elon Musk endorses Andrew Cuomo

even when far rightwingers are having an extremely positive experience on all fronts they’re still able to hallucinate a situation where they’re the victim

“They were careless people,” Fitzgerald wrote, “they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Finally, the sealed information is important to the public record in this case. Civilians, journalists, scholars, and the public are entitled to know about the federal government’s false representations to this Court. Scholars are tracking the growing number of misrepresentations made by Department of Justice lawyers under the Trump Administration. One study found that courts have expressed distrust of government information and representations in over forty cases since January 20, 2025. See Ryan Goodman, et al., The “Presumption of Regularity” in Trump Administration Litigation, Just Security (Oct. 15, 2025), available at https://www.justsecurity.org/120547/presumption-regularity-trump-administration-litigation/ (last visited Nov. 1, 2025). Other journalists are finding a similar pattern. See Drew Harwell and Joyce Sohyun Lee, We Checked DHS’s Videos of Chaos and Protests. Here’s What They Leave Out, The Washington Post (Oct. 29, 2025), available at https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2025/10/29/trump-administration-misleading

Long live Guilloteen Vogue

Zohran picked 「卓蘭」("excellent orchid") for his first name and「夸梅」("brilliant plum") for his middle name.

The orchid and the plum are among "The Four Noble Ones" in traditional Chinese art, the former symbolizing an indifference to fame and fortune, the latter an indomitable, incorruptible spirit.

Yeah with the latest news about Teen Vogue even more relevant

It’s not ever about the numbers—you can bring insane audience engagement, views, eyeballs to your verticals, shape the conversation in wonderful ways, win awards and on and on

And they still will nuke your job and your entire desk in the name of capital consolidation and kissing the fucking ring

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.

Just as a reminder: New York is a donor state and massively so.

I feel one million years old here, but we do actually have a pretty reliable way of knowing what news is true. Did a real newspaper publish it? Then probably yes. Can’t find it in a real newspaper? Maybe not.

This is some disturbing ICE Gestapo footage. They point guns at citizens and threaten to shoot them. They punch a guy in the back of the head repeatedly when he’s down and already subdued, then later slam his head into the side of their vehicle.

This took place on 10/31/2025 in Evanston, IL.

Noticing the sty door open long after the pigs got loose—WSJ sounds alarm at GOP-MAGA Jew-baiting

"If conservatives—and Republicans—don’t call out this poison in their own ranks before it corrupts more young minds, the right and America are entering dangerous territory."

Tweet from Heritage Foundation's boss Kevin Roberts: Thank you, Jonathan Haidt, for reminding everyone Heritage yesterday that tech tycoons like Leonid Radvinsky and Solomon Friedman are profiting to the tune of millions by preying on America's young men and women. We are proud to be in this fight with you. It is time to arrest, prosecute, and convict the sick perverts behind OnlyFans and PornHub.

There are a large number of Democratic politicians who insist that Jonathan Haidt is a reliable narrator and one who they should take their legislative cues from. They should be asked why they're supporting someone the Heritage Foundation is cheering on in their efforts to censor the internet.

U.S. citizen shot from behind as he warned ICE agents about children gathering at bus stop, lawyers say Lawyers for Carlos Jimenez said he was in fear after an agent threatened him with chemical spray, then pointed a gun at him.

US citizen shot from behind as he warned ICE agents children would be coming to get bus, lawyers say

This is one of those inconvenient truths: it’s a lot easier for various well-paid strategists and pundits to advise “stop saying Latinx” (a non-issue) versus “substantively change the media environment and people’s online consumption habits”

Trump: I HATE WATCHING THE NFL'S NEW KICK OFF RULE. IT'S RIDICULOUS — TAKES THE PAGEANTRY AND GLAMOUR AWAY FROM THE GAME, AND DOES NOTHING FOR SAFETY. THEY SHOULD CHANGE BACK TO WHAT IT USED TO BE.

The Trump administration has put a stop to EPA rules that would have required more than 130 industrial facilities to install air monitors to measure pollution.

Millions of people living near these plants face an increased risk of cancer.
