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.

At this point I think it’s fair to say that most of the criticisms being lobbed at Mamdani are not out of genuine anger or surprise at any new revelations about him but are rather a transparently bad faith smear campaign to punish him for being a successful politician while Muslim

And in doing so, we can make City Hall a place from which New Yorkers expect change, not failure."

If your first thought as a reporter when racing to the scene where an invading fed paramilitary of murderous freaks are blanketing yet another neighborhood in chemical weapons after kidnapping people is to count how many objects are thrown at them, just quit. Just quit

I tell you what, learn a little bit about cancer and people who think you can cure cancer with diet or supplements do look very silly. This is why cancer biologists have such a hard time not being snarky.

The national gaslighting about Charlie Kirk Another pattern of censorship that only hurts the leftβ€”and emboldens political violence.

Since Charlie Kirk was fatally shot, people on the left have been censored, punished, and targeted with more violence for telling the truth about Kirk's legacy. The cycle continues: mainstream whitewashing of violence begets more violence and the victims are blamed.

So many people who romanticized the Parkland kids in 2018 are now in favor of this.

I don't fully trust Hogg, but the party's reaction to his time as Vice Chair proves the point he's trying to make.

'Abusers are enforcing abortion bans on their victims' Reproductive coercion is a growing threat to abuse victims.

I interviewed @kylietcheung.bsky.social about her essential work (and upcoming book) detailing how abortion bans are a state-mandated tool for abusers to entrap and coerce their victimsβ€”as she put it, β€œIf we lived in a direct democracy, abortion would be legal.”

I’m halfway through Sunrise on the Reaping and I’m still baffled that people seem to miss that Suzanne Collins is doing some of the most poignant and deadly rebellious writing about specifically American capitalism, capitalism informed by the entertainment and tech industries, today.

This is a definition of good political writing for the theatre; not about one side vs another, but what political forces do to human nature.
