And so it begins…

Wow! Had not seen this. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. And congrats to you!!

So glad you’re enjoying it, Lori!! Great meeting you!

This was beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

Who agrees? ✋

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Ed Sheeran graces the cover of Men’s Health UK.

He's also responsible for raising all the money that paid for bringing Hollingsworth v. Perry & even more importantly Bostic v. Schaefer, which created the circuit split that forced SCOTUS to take on Obergefell v. Hodges. The role he played in American marriage equality cannot be overstated.

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

Hey Megyn Kelly,

14-year-old Eloise would like a word:

“If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good…
because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”

Sound up! 🔥🔊

i’m ready for something different than whatever the fuck this is

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.

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?"

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103.

12 days of work in 103 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

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.

Misty Copeland took her final bow as an American Ballet Theatre principal dancer on Wednesday, a role she's had for the past 10 years.

I’m absolutely exhausted in the best possible way. I love us. We did it! #NoKings

It's estimated that there will be tens of thousands attendees at the No Kings Protest on Saturday around Southern California, and it's important to protect your community by reviewing your rights and being prepared in case violence breaks out.

My husband’s ballot came in the mail. Mine did not. I looked into why and…

I was purged from the voting roll.

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Pope Leo XIV says 'inhuman treatment of immigrants' in the U.S. isn't 'pro-life' Pope Leo XIV weighed in on U.S. politics, saying that Catholic politicians must be judged on the full range of their policy positions and suggesting that the country's immigration policy is "inhuman."

Sen. Chris Murphy sends funds to anti-Trump organizing groups The Connecticut Democrat has distributed nearly $1 million this year to groups organizing against the Trump administration.

Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy is donating $100,000 from his political fund to the progressive organizing group Indivisible — the latest in a series of donations he says total nearly $1 million to grassroots groups across the country taking on the Trump admin. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

Even a passing knowledge of Black history will make clear that not only was this level of destruction possible, it was inevitable. “Did you know they’d shut down US AID?” I mean these are the same people who closed all public schools in a county rather than desegregate. Yes. Yes I did.

Important to remember that Donald Trump is smirkily joking about here is premeditated mass murder in international waters—an unambiguous war crime—with some of the victims already apparently having been confirmed to be civilian fishermen

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

Love that someone at The Guardian gave voice to this.

This is why they’re deleting studies

Starting November 1st, New Mexico will become the first state to offer free universal childcare to all its residents.

It's expected to save families over $12,000 per child annually.

This is a huge step forward — and a reminder that we have the power to fix the system.

Same.
