Black text on orange background -- with b/w photo of Steve Biko (headshot) “The most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed.”

Lex McMenamin, one of many valuable Teen Vogue reporters laid off today, said, "Majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. There are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue." 💔

As @sifill.bsky.social noted, this is NOT a business decision. Goal is to suppress knowledge, analysis. 🧵

A few days after the presidential election one year ago, we went to Fordham Road in the Bronx.

It was a little different last week.

It's also why all of those smug european countries are pulling back on their welfare programs. They were happy to have them when they were relatively homogenous but now that they're afraid of immigrants having them - esp POC - they're scaling back

Palate cleanse. Some humans are terrible, but more of us are great.

The resentment that Republicans have is nothing like the resentment that white liberals had that the CRA and VRA made them not only the party of civil rights but the party of Black voters. The anger at the Black base since 2008 has emerged from all parts of the coalition, including leadership.

Alan Moore knows the score

You know what? All these where's Zohran pop ups of just being a New Yorkers across all communities where New Yorkers gather like Waldo is hella adorable and good politics.

Just got back from 10 hours of canvassing for Zohran in Manhattan, some things really stand out compared to the last few months since the primary. First, *lots* of people have already voted, and nearly all the ones I talked to who did had voted for Zohran. Cuomo voters don’t even say his name.

The Husband, who regularly does Wallace Shawn impersonations around the house: Imagine Wallace Shawn knocking on your door to talk to you about Zohran in that Wallace Shawn voice

Zohran is stone cold man. Putting out an ad in Arabic after all the Islamophobic shit that’s been thrown his way? Pure swag.

Dems don’t need to copy his politics or even necessarily his campaign strategy, they need to learn how to grow a fucking spine.

It's November of 2025, and white Democrats are still having this conversation ignoring the record number of Black voters that vowed that they would never vote for Biden again, and vowed that they would not vote for someone that skipped over Harris.

It had to be Harris.

❤️❤️❤️

Let’s be clear, most EBT users are white. The reason he’s specifically lying about “weaves” and we’ve seen so many AI fakes of Black women ranting about food stamps is they need to make BW the face EBT because they know many Americans don’t care if Black people suffer, and some actually wish for it.

I feel like I say this every year but I really need people to hear it. Halloween is the best American holiday. Just kids outside welcomed into their world, marching around together, showing off their costumes to the elderly, parents meeting parents, neighbors catching up with neighbors.

Timeline cleanse- NYC Halloween Parade and Thriller.

We have progressed from data collection to data analysis.

There's a line in the book the expanse where Bobbie draper looks at this intense like reed paneling on Jules Pierre Mao's spaceship and idly thinks about how hard it would be to clean and then realized that's the point.

Salute to the dad who talked his kid into picking a Butterfinger from the candy bowl, because dad clearly wanted to claim it as his candy tax later

I renovated the Lincoln Bathroom in the White House. It was renovated in the 1940s in an art deco green tile style, which was totally inappropriate for the Lincoln Era. I did it in black and white polished Statuary marble. This was very appropriate for the time of Abraham Lincoln and, in fact, could be the marble that was originally there!

sure, you might not be able to eat or go to the doctor, but check out how nice Trump's new marble shitter is

Feel like, as a society, we might consider moving Halloween to the last Friday in October (observed.) Vibes truly immaculate tonight.

A blonde was always the final form for his character arc. No one — and I mean no one — should be surprised.

Yes, I am sub…skeeting???

Zohran serves food to taxi workers.

Late night biryani with taxi drivers at Kebab King in Jackson Heights.

A classic @michaelharriot.bsky.social thread.

Ozymand.
Ozymand.
Does whatever an Ozy can.
See his works, any size.
Commands all; the bragging kind.
Look out!
Here comes the Ozymand.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.
