So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.

Heartbreaking. Teen Vogue surprisingly had some of the best political editorials out there. Hopefully these writers can group up to start something new and independent; I'd subscribe in a second.
thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.

now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

Last night's PUP and Jeff Rosenstock show with @milliastrange.bsky.social was so much fun! Philly's emo/punk scene is incredible as always. I have a headache and some new bruises, but I always feel safe in those pits where everyone's looking after each other. 🤘💙

Great article about the Charlie Kirk murder, and the effects of messaging on public sentiment towards political violence.

GOP leaders point fingers at the left's rhetoric, but they seem determined to stoke violence in their own base with inflammatory reactionism from all levels of government.
One of the things we can be reasonably sure about based on the social science: The way Trump and his allies are responding to Charlie Kirk’s murder is likely to worsen our political violence problem, not help it

"America’s Reichstag fire"
Political violence remains rare, but leaders can help prevent tragedy by condemning hate and defending democratic values

I appreciate that the article opens with an example where the recipients still got evicted. The cash assistance did not fix all their problems, but it crucially protected them from the parasitic systems built to keep vulnerable people down.

BREAKING: Big moment as CDC staff stage a mass walkout.

They have lined the street outside its HQ to greet and salute the four top officials who have resigned in protest at RFK Jr’s attack on the agency’s science base.

I made this drawing of the First Quarter Moon! I adore this phase for its balance of light and shadow, inviting the imagination to fill in the remaining semicircle.

I used a limited palette and binary brush, but I hesitate to call this pixel art, since it ended up being more freehand and scribbly.

I had the chance to enjoy the sky without distractions or responsibilities this weekend for the first time in months. It felt like reconnecting with an old friend.

Art like this takes me back to the hours sitting on my Lansdowne fire escape, basking in the atmospheric poetry. I need more of that.
We report: we see April come to an end, and we feel late, and like we are missing spring, and summer will be here before we know it. Our expert tells us we only have to follow the clouds, because their pace is the only one that counts in the end. Why not, we will give it a try.

This is an emergency. The City of Philadelphia is investing in SEPTA but we need the General Assembly to step up.

This is big: House Republicans tucked language into the budget res “rule” that bans the House from voting to terminate Trump’s emergency declaration used to impose tariffs. TL;DR lawmakers who vote for this are officially giving up their power to revoke his tariffs until October.

American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. theatln.tc/IuULQFiY
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.
