A lot of Very Serious People will be pretending to be confused about What This All Means as a way to avoid the simple inconvenient reality: Voters like it when candidates are kind sincere non-weirdos who are passionate about big popular ideas that will actually help real people.

New statement from Chuck Schumer:

“Despite not doing anything useful, and in fact being actively harmful to the process in a number of ways, I am here to take credit for other people’s hard work and risks.”

Why do people write inane headers.

As opposed to all the Islamophobic tweets *about the NYC mayoral election* targeting... either of the Catholic candidates??

It is a deliberate, conscious choice to not get this distinction & to refuse to learn what Mamdani has actually said, instead of allowing Fox News commentators to determine how this conversation is going.

It’s also a choice to allow the GOP, MTG, etc a pass while worrying about this (Brown Muslim).

‘I’m From Here!’: U.S. Citizens Are Ending Up in Trump’s Dragnet

As immigration agents have escalated their tactics, US citizens, many of them Latino men, have been stopped and in some cases taken into custody by law enforcement officers. Allison, Jenny and I took a closer look at the encounters. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/29/u...

In the US, when you have absolutely no ability to hold a government official accountable, you say, "Person X must resign!"🤡

And then that person says, "Nah! I think I'll stay!"

And then you say, "No, you must resign at once!"🤡

And then they just ignore you.

And then that's the end of that.🤷🏿‍♂️

Abughazaleh: I am from one of those families. I do not want Israeli children to live in fear. And I don't want gazan children to starve to death. And there is no enemy of either state that could want me to wish that or excuse the starvation of children. It is that simple.

Some of you have never seen all the angry panda commercials (actually a brilliant campaign for Egypt's Panda Cheese) and honestly especially these days there's no downside in getting you better educated on this particular matter

All this business I am reading about social security is nonsense. My mom died on 2/18. My dad got a letter yesterday informing him her benefits were ending and he had to repay the February payment because they don’t give a payment in the month someone dies. They know where every dollar is.

The Gilded Age is Trump's ideal--let's check the stats, shall we?

--most Americans disenfranchised
--most Americans in extreme poverty
--most Americans worked 12 hour workdays, 6-7 days a week
--most Americans consumed unsafe food, water, medicine

The Gilded Age was great only for the rich folks

Excerpt from a public letter Roald Dahl wrote encouraging people to vaccinate their children.

Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything.

“Are you feeling all right?” I asked her.

“I feel all sleepy,” she said.

In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead.

The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her. That was twenty-four years ago in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do to help her.

On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunized against measles. I was unable to do that for Olivia in 1962 because in those days a reliable measles vaccine had not been discovered. Today a good and safe vaccine is available to every family and all you have to do is to ask your doctor to administer it.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

If your aesthetic is driven by homophobia, you'll always be chasing the latest code, unaware of how those styles landed in your wardrobe. Instead, I encourage you take inspiration from all of culture, including menswear and womenswear, and create an aesthetic that expresses you.
