Photo of NBC’s exit poll data (from my work laptop, lol) showing Mamdani splitting the straight vote equally with Cuomo, but taking the LGBTQ+ vote by more than 5:1. Even though the LGBTQ+ slice is only 14% of the population, they were a LANDSLIDE in his favor.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

we're all excited about new york right now!

shout out chicago.

The fact a *single* Amazon full-time employee requires SNAP benefits should be a crime. The fact Amazon is the largest employer of SNAP recipients is a disgrace. Jeff Bezos shouldnt be that rich; he should be in jail.

(also I miss newspapers and socialist newspapers and living in europe reading Libération and Il Manifesto while drinking my latte that cost less than a dollar and probably smoking a gauloise rouge, I didn't even know how good I had it)

OBSESSED

one time i shot a studio 54-themed party full of straight people (assisting someone else, NOT my client) and so i feel confident i have been to a party with a fraction of these vibes and they live the lives they deserve

i feel like cats are supposed to be super zen masters like this but mine is always trying to do some kind of scheme

this is peak intellectual performance

It's a Chicago holiday

I lack the adequate language to describe what I think of every person in power that’s responsible for this, never mind the people carrying it out

We all need to channel this Chicago man’s utter contempt

I would just like to remind people that posting images of people protesting ICE activity on the streets could be used to file federal charges against them, depending on what exactly they're doing, so you should never post anything like that online

there’s just no way! and it’s not the only bill radically increasing! (my car insurance going up by 30%, web hosting doubled 6 months ago, business insurance up 30%…)

but actually why have insurance at this point? It would be cheaper to just pay cash for me and probably a lot of other people. I just did the math on my dental insurance and it’s still mildly on the side of worth it, but i could probably pay cash for better care vs this plan

i currently pay $85/mo for essentially useless coverage and i’ll be paying something like $250 for equally useless coverage. Which is wayyyy better than a lot of what I‘m seeing, like this. Not sure what the end game is with this. No one has this money??? what do they think we live on?

For every $1 in benefits fraud, agencies spend $3.72 trying to detect it, based on the unproven assumption that means-testing lowers the rate of fraud. But there's evidence to indicate that trusting people to self-report what they need would be cheaper overall, even factoring in fraud/abuse.

A care package for activists in crisis - Chicago Reader Read This When Things Fall Apart, edited by Kelly Hayes, features letters offering hope and advice for activist in crisis.

“There are countless ways that we can show up for each other and for our neighbors who are being threatened right now, and all of it is crucial. Whether you’re putting on a gas mask to protest, folding zines in your living room, or making food for a community event, you are getting it done.”

i just read the fanfic version and the straights are NOT okay (as like, a window into elements of genre that are wildly popular it was REALLY interesting and i’ve never read another book that gave a relationship so long to slowly develop so it was worth reading for that i guess)

I will never accept what the ruling class want to normalize. life can be so light, beautiful, and fulfilling. it can be so simple. it doesn't have to be a soulless nightmare devoted to generating wealth for a couple thousand parasites

yeah i just… don’t know what i’m going to do?
