So if Olivia is 32 now, broke up with Lizza last year, was together with him for a decade, and then was living with you for 4+ years before that, how old was she when you moved her out of her (presumably parents’) house in the suburbs to live with you?

Inclusivity means building a big tent for voters, not laundering the reputations of opportunistic, dishonest, fascist, pro-Russian, conspiracy-theorist traitors.

Do not whitewash Marjorie Taylor Greene

There is no redemption arc for Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is a “get” in the eyes of Dems because it legitimizes their absurd notion that they can pull from the right, which is all Democrats have been concerned with since they decided that Labor was no longer worth pursuing

Grand theft government President Trump is in the process of sending millions of dollars in taxpayer money directly to his political allies — and himself.

1. Trump is in the process of sending millions in taxpayer money directly to his political allies — and himself.

The money purportedly is to settle legal claims.

But these claims are extraordinarily weak and have little to no chance of success.

In reality, it is a brazen theft.

Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

Megyn Kelly is a bad person.

Literally how women see every corrupt abusive man in power: why does everyone protect and empower their cruelty and abuse?

Best case: The President of the United States knew about a pedophilia ring and did nothing to stop it.

Medium case: He also used his office to protect the perpetrators.

Worst case: Because he was one of the perpetrators.

Something that’s so striking in these emails is how…unimpressive Epstein is. He comes off as a pompous, sub-literate lech. Yes everyone is so mortifyingly solicitous of him! All fawning and flattery! Why?????

Maybe at some point we’ll talk about how the same politicians that ruined sex workers’ lives with SESTA-FOSTA and conflated consensual work with trafficking, had brazen dealings with a goddamn pedophile ring for decades. Or not

The soft pedaling language being used to describe the men in the Epstein files is enraging.

They didn’t “have sex with underage girls”.

They raped them.

Sex implies consent.

The survivors deserve better than this. Use the correct language. Say what these men did.

Forget years, months at best.

Trans people were always a wedge to break up the LGBT+ community.

Those pushing this have already pivoted to attacking the rest of the community. Homophobia is on the rise and same sex marriage being targeted.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Grijalva: That is why I will sign the discharge petition right now to release the Epstein files. Justice cannot wait another day.

HEADLINE: CREATIVE WORKS CAN NO LONGER BE MINED BY AI WITHOUT CONSENT IN AUSTRALIA NEW REGULATIONS PROTECT ARTISTS' RIGHTS IN THE AGE OF AI

See, look, U.S.A., it's this easy

(and should have been done immediately upon the knowledge that these cheats and grifters were STEALING our work)

enough power for one million homes is dead

I've spent 20 years helping new engineers start careers, tip from a top recruiter: there's never any shortage of people who can write code that works (or do the art needed, etc), her challenge is finding people who can do that AND anyone wants to work with, friendly, communicate, take feedback

when I get perfectionist I remind myself that I'm not doing this to make a beautiful series of pictures. I'm doing it to tell a story, and no matter how pretty my art ends up being in the end, that's always going to be the thing that comes first

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

If you’re a working artist talking to other creatives I’m begging you to not hide this. I have a parter who makes more and I don’t hide that and try to be as open as I can especially one on one. It’s cruel to not be honest with your fellow artist and give them any kind of false hope or fear

Chuck Schumer voted for Andrew Cuomo, of course he's not on our side. He's with the 854,000 soulless racist ghouls who voted for the murderer.

Expel Schumer, Expel John Fetterman.

Nothing fills me with a sense of dread quite like the work of artist Chris Van Allsburg. When I was very young, his illustrations terrified me just as much as the ones in Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, but in a way I didn't even have words to describe yet. He was liminal before liminal was cool

Thank you, @wyden.senate.gov

There’s no reason ever again for any Democrat to suggest moderating on trans rights. There was never a moral reason but now there’s no political reason either.

Somebody tell Gavin Newsom and Pete Buttigieg. it’s joe-ver.

Donate to Help Laid-Off Teen Vogue Staffers Recover, organized by Lexi McMenamin More than half the team at Teen Vogue was laid off this week by our parent co… Lexi McMenamin needs your support for Help Laid-Off Teen Vogue Staffers Recover

thank you for the outpouring of support!

those of us laid off from Teen Vogue yesterday are now sharing our GoFundMe to help us cover our emergency expenses now that we've lost our incomes, as we get back on our feet.

this is harassment. it's abusive. and it places a congresswoman's life in danger. i don't care what you think of mcbride herself or trans women in general.

condemn this behavior. tell those we elected that it's time for them to publicly condemn this behavior, too.

SNAP funds will be paid in full, proving that the USDA was always capable of paying the full November benefit.

Remember that the Trump admin chose to let people go hungry.

They chose not to fund SNAP until a court forced their hand.

They chose cruelty and pain.
