I was lucky to still be teaching while teen vogue was in print AND doing political coverage under Elaine Welteroth. It was SO PERFECT for my “non readers” I did not give af what my students read during silent reading. teen vogue became reliable AND engaging for so many of them. Now gutted. For what?
So upset about @teenvogue.com being absorbed into Vogue.
Teen Vogue’s political reporting has often been sharper than other mainstream outlets.
Now there will be no political staffers left.

Read Quinn Slobodian’s book Hayek’s Bastards to understand the lineage of Vance’s sickening line of thinking. He is continuing the legacy of a long line of racist neoliberals who truly believed in race science (that our biological differences make us better or less fit to exist within capitalism) 1/
JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.
Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

still can't get over what we learned today that the actual story is elon musk just copied enough of wikipedia word-for-word for grokipedia to be useful but rewrote all articles related to him to be more favorable, leaving out facts he doesn't want people to see or talk about
I’ve never donated to Wikipedia before but I set up a small monthly donation as a fuck you to the world’s richest psychopath.
Elon Musk takes aim at Wikipedia
Musk has denounced Wikipedia as "Wokepedia" on X and urged people not to donate to the platform.

This just in: My grandma (83, in the Midwest) says that Mamdani is the best choice for nyc mayor! She says to vote early! And even though she’s still skeptical of the “socialist” thing, she think something’s gone corrupt about our capitalism & billionaires should not exist!

And to be clear, in case it’s not: they don’t have to do this. Trumps admin is using hunger as a stick to beat Dems into sacrificing ACA benefits which will fund tax breaks for the very rich. The fed govt has shut down plenty of times without sacrifice SNAP and WIC.
I don’t even know what to say. I know my Prozac is working because I’d be bawling otherwise. This is devastating and cruel. And as one of so so many children who grew up fed because of food assistance, it makes me sick to my stomach.

I am convinced that least 50% of the reason this demolition started NOW is because Melania didn’t want to decorate the east wing for the holidays. If I recall, it was like the first thing she bitched about after the election. She probably has a lot more to do with this than is being reported.

Lots of folks are surprised that the IRS is involved in shit like this considering they are so “broke” but they have always been part of the surveillance state in the US. They were buying spy tech in the 50s and 60s before Congress knew a thing.The IRS had their own intelligence operation.

NYU langone’s roll out of amazon one palm scanners is collusion amongst the billionaires to the extreme. Patients hate it and they know it. The integration of Amazon one is in efforts to squeeze work out of fewer human employees. They profit, life is harder for patients and employees.

For the record, I think the citric acid via Gatorade worked. I had the Gatorade within 20 mins of taking the 2nd dose.
My only noticeable side effects were hot flashes, horrible dry mouth, and it was pretty hard to fall asleep last night.

Absolutely!! AND THEY’RE STILL HERE. I see them every week. It’s been months and months of seeing troops every time I come and go out of certain train stations.
I keep thinking about how Hochul deployed the national guard to the subways for the totally fake made up crime crisis and now she’s trying to claim Trump shouldn’t send troops to NYC and her arguments are completely poisoned by her own previous absurd fascist actions.

This is the 2nd or 3rd major power failure at W 4 St-Wash Sq recently. The C line is suspended rn. All before the rain even started. And now flood warnings!
Is it a coincidence that they’ve spent months blanketing that station with cameras? Overloading the grid at a station with 7 train lines??? 🧐

What’s sad about cuomo’s relaunched campaign is that because the pundits & consultants really believe that Mamdani’s social media strategy won him the primary - nothing else, cuomo is going to do some pathetic excuse of a copy that only makes him look more unfit to lead

Is it useful for folks outside of Alaska to call murkowski’s dc office? I know she doesn’t have much of a backbone. She’s terrified of any repercussion.
We're still nowhere on the Big Beautiful Bill, folks, but Murkowski is the focus. Collins appears to be a no. There were some overtures at Rand Paul but his asks are impossible. Tillis is a no. JD Vance is at the Capitol.
It all comes down to Murkowski.

The fuck is this headline?? This man was repeatedly forced to address an antisemitism that he *does not possess* (while experiencing clear-cut islamophobic and Xenophobic attacks). Anyone who’s “fears are confirmed” did not actually listen to Mamdani speak. Much like the NYT.
Zohran Mamdani, with a record of anti-Israel activism, won over some Jews in the New York City mayoral primary, but confirmed other Jews' worst fears about the American left.
Mamdani’s Success Spotlights a Deepening Rupture Among U.S. Jews
While Zohran Mamdani won over some Jewish supporters, other Jewish Democrats suggested that concerns about their community’s safety are being dismissed in a movement and a city they helped build.

the trick with Dan Goldman is to call his DC office to talk to a real person. But this is local politics so I will try his offices here first. Gonna call Jeffries (not my rep) just to gloat & remind him what principled politicians act like. And then I might call Hochul bc she needs to hear this too!
The FIRST THING I’m doing tomorrow morning is calling my NY reps in congress to remind them to get behind Mamdani the way they would any other Dem mayoral candidate - for THEIR CITY & THEIR PARTY. I hope Schumer has emptied his voicemail unlike every other time I’ve tried to call this year 🙃
