Alice Wong @sfdirewolf was a force to be reckoned with; a life well lived.

Teen Vogue was doing important reporting, and I hope their staff find new outlets as we await the downfall of the fascists who would have disabled people disappear.

Would have liked to read their obit on Alice.
@sfdirewolf.bsky.social just passed away. What a heartbreaking loss. And a reminder of how important Teen Vogue was.
It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column

I have nothing against small town Midwesterners — Reader, I married one — but this hed and lede made me guffaw; and sigh.

It’s just SO TRITE.

Imagine being so vile that even Jeffrey Epstein thinks you're the worst person in the world.

Yep. We all knew.
Trump would never have been elected if so many Americans cared about sexual assault. His voters knew his history and elected him anyway. They listened to him say he grabbed women by the p*ssy.

He's undoubtedly planning the Mother of all Distractions but can't think of anything to top flying over a city in a crown dropping poo on American citizens.

Exactly what I told my family. This isnt the worst of it.

Is it too soon to start stomping my foot about IMPEACHMENT REDUX?
This isn’t even the stuff they’re trying to actually stop from getting out.

BWA HA HA HAAAAAAA! These people are so vile. That’s the best bullshit she could muster.

A fresh hell every day, but fun to watch them squirm.
Press secretary Karoline Leavitt asked about reports that the White House met with U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., to discuss the Epstein files.

Leavitt said it shows “transparency that members of the Trump administration are willing to brief members of Congress.” https://to.pbs.org/4hY5bNE

The fact that Trump is calling Mace and Boebert today pleading with them to remove their names from the Epstein petition at the last minute tells you everything you need to know about how incriminating the info in the files is to him and his cronies.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

We asked women how they felt about Trump right after he won the election. One year later, we caught up with them to see how they feel now.

OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars":

".. Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great."

I have *always* hated Lucy but can’t stop thinking about her this morning.

Can Pennsylvania recall their boy already? (I don’t know what their procedures are, if it’s possible, and don’t have time to dive into it.)

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.
