Teen Vogue has spent the last decade being one of the most reliable news sources in this country. Every one of those staffers is doing incredible work. @teenvogue.com

I yearn for a political party where not endorsing Mamdani while praising Dick Cheney gets you automatically booted out

Nick Pettigrew @Nick_Pettigrew Polio was eradicated because Jonas Salk chose not to patent the vaccine, if you want a perfect example of a socialist act. Quote Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63 · Jun 24 Socialism is like polio, it comes back when people forget about the horrible damage it did last time.

REMINDER: A socialist act by a New Yorker was a major reason why polio was eliminated in the US.

Few ways to start the morning quite like learning you outlived one of the most evil people to walk this earth ✨

Me, a white nonbinary person with a currently-out-of-control disconnected-cut quiff of wavy of brown hair pushed to one side. I’m sorry about my hair guys. I’m wearing glasses, a jean jacket and a grey paisley scarf, and I’m standing in front of a nondescript building that is my polling place. Prominently on my jacket is a STICKER that says “I VOTED”. A STICKER!

I love living in a small city. First time voting in person since Covid, everyone was lovely, also the first time in my life I’ve EVER gotten a STICKER. My night is made. (Hoping for some good news later on that will make it a lot better. GO SOCIALISM!) 🥰

The major opposing candidates called him a jihadist and Democratic leadership didn't make a peep about it!

Friends! With the looming SNAP cutoff, I'm also going to do this -- send me a food bank donation receipt and I'll match up to $500.

ALSO ALSO if your area has a community action agency they are HEAVILY dependent on state and federal grants and are feeling the heat right now - in addition to food services, they do everything from homeless services to early childhood education to energy assistance and more.

70% of working age SNAP recipients work full time. The companies should pay them a living wage! SNAP is corporate welfare.

And people who insist otherwise are pro-social murder.

Every one deserves to eat. It’s that simple.

Ireland elects an independent, socialist woman to the position of president.

Irish Media: ‘Today, we ask what went wrong with the system, what her opponents have to say about it, and how it can be fixed for next time.’

“Do you really expect Mamdani to get everything he’s promising done?”

No. I’m sure a lot of what I want won’t happen. But I’m ready for someone who’s willing to actually fucking try rather than tell everyone why trying is pointless and must be saved for an undefined later moment

Gee, I can’t imagine why…

Unfortunately that’s a lot of capitalist mainstream dems’ solution too. Our moderate left is still right of center.

The reality is that it’s up to us to take means into our own hands. We keep us safe, we feed our neighbors, we protect each other, and we have to elect people who have that mindset.

Every restaurant kitchen needs a tiny guillotine for precisely these moments—to match the full-size one reserved for patrons who harass the waitstaff or repeatedly refuse to tip

Take a lesson from the Black Panthers who understood how to feed people

GOOD.

Usually I’m incredibly uninterested in pride regarding home location—but right now I’m pretty damn proud to be a New Yorker. Sometimes it takes us a while for most of us to get the right idea, but when we get loud, we stay loud.

Tax the damn rich, Kathleen.

Exactly, as a New Yorker I see zero downsides to this 🥰

this is something that individual members of Congress could do tomorrow. The government is shut down so they could use their district offices. I suggested in January that they turn those offices into full on community centers where people could find each other re: mutual aid etc...

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

As billionaire oligarchs continue to eat us alive while 42 million people face losing the basic SNAP benefits that help feed their families—that’s 1 in 8 Americans btw—if you see ANYONE stealing food and supplies from a corporate box or grocery store, NO YOU FUCKING DIDN’T. #SNAP #GovernmentShutdown

"These are modern day slave catchers. Call them for what they are.

Stop giving them a pass. Make people understand the depth of what's going on in our community, because everybody has to protect everybody."

the whole article could have just been ten pages of “Brilliant Things Eleanor O’Brien Said,” and some gold was left on the cutting room floor, but this is such a banger of a closer and it’s so very much the theme of today

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

there’s quite literally no purpose in continuing to pay taxes if they’re going to weaponize them against a majority of people paying them like this

although I think most poetry nerds for sure have not forgotten H.D. that's less important than how good and timely this is
