Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

I don’t know the last time I’ve spent this much time writing and revising a post interview follow up email. I think I’m beating personal records so please send well wishes and good vibes my way.

More eugenics from the USA

My University Just Taught Extremists How to Eliminate Academic Programs They Don't Like Texas Christian University handed its power to the people working hardest to dismantle learning itself.

Last week: There’s a particular kind of despair that comes from watching an institution abandon its principles in real time. It’s not the dramatic betrayal of a single moment. It’s slower than that.

This holiday season, give Jeff Bezos and Amazon the gift of zero dollars. 🥰

Mayor John Whitmire acknowledges Houston is cooperating with ICE "I'm not going to say that we're not cooperating with ICE, because that's frankly not true," Whitmire said.

John Whitmire is a fascist boomer.

A “promise of a vote” is just about as tangible as a “concept of a plan” like they can’t be fucking serious

It’s great when a movie is just as good if not better the second time around.

The ADL has decided to treat fascists as allies and progressives as enemies. For a group that is tasked with protecting American Jews, that is a world historic fuck up.

I will never forgive these people for their moral decrepitude.

Jonathan Greenblatt tweet: Jonathan Greenblatt @JGreenblattADL In light of Mayor-elect Mamdani's long, disturbing record on issues of deep concern to the Jewish community, we will approach the next four years with resolve. We expect the mayor of the city with the largest Jewish population in the world to stand unequivocally against antisemitism in all its varied forms and support all of its Jewish residents just as he would all other constituents. In the months ahead, we will hold the Mamdani Administration to this basic standard, and @ADL will be relentless and unyielding in our work to ensure the safety and security of all Jewish New Yorkers. We will neither compromise nor relent in our pursuit of our core purpose, to protect the Jewish people. 9:46 PM · Nov 4, 2025 · 159.8K Views

Jewish NYers came out in droves for Mamdani: staff, volunteers, voters. Greenblatt defends Nazis.

It isn’t complete but all the awful amendments (few decent some mixed) are looking they will pass at 70-90%. Multiple bills indirect cuts to public education, less oversight on utility projects, codifying “parental rights” be and targeting non existent immigrant voter fraud. 🫠

I know all the awful amendments in Texas will likely pass and tomorrow local struggles will continue but I mentally put a lot on that NYC race because we are grasping for hope in these red strongholds and almost every major elected Democrat is a letdown at best.

While opening the polls I learned Dick Cheney died & moments after we dropped off our ballots I hopped on Twitch to see Hasan casually bumping into Lina Khan, Sam Seder, Emma Vigeland, Katie Halper, Jamaal Bowman, and Medhi Hasan - and Naomi MFin Klein as the celebrate Mamdani’s historic win.

This is the 1st year they held the event and didn’t turn people away due to running out. I’m talkin 90, 100 skulls in under an hour.

Those that did come had a blast - especially the kids & ESPECIALLY the kids that we put face paint on. (I really want to share but I don’t like posting kids online.)

My icing and sequins decorated sugar skull sitting in a paper bowl.

The (TX) Pasadena Public library held a sugar skull decorating event for Día del los Muertos and thanks to ICE activity foot traffic was down over 70%. They made less skulls even though they run out every year because they anticipated lower turn out. We didn’t even pass out half.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.

At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

Bail Crackdown on Ballot Ignores Mental Health Crisis, Advocates Say Even without Proposition 3, "The jail system is already the largest warehouse of people with mental illness in the state of Texas."

Election day is tomorrow, but Edward Brown, and other advocates for the mentally ill, worry that voters will choose to further criminalize some of the most vulnerable people.

I just releazied a big reason I see none is despite living basically a block from an elementary, a jr-hs, & a HS - we don't get them because in addition to having few street lights, we live in the dying neighboor. My partner & I decorate but are also the among the youngest within a 3 block radius.

Anyone following Carlson closely would know he basically shares all of Fuentes’s positions but has been adept at coding them.

This was particularly revealed during Kanye-gate, when his team purposefully edited out the overt antisemitism and kept the coded version.
