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.

Dick Cheney won't see your mean jokes about his death, but Tony Blair will, hopefully.

Don't sleep on these school board races. They determine trans rights, school lunches, book bans, and history lessons.

It'll take less than 5 minutes to vote today, and it may determine whether children in your community eat three meals a day.

I have a great prompt for a one-shot, and I need your help. If you were a fan of modern AU Catra and Adora (famous for whatever reason, spoilers) and had to ask them "Who is most likely to?" questions for a game, what would you ask?

The framing of this is hilarious: Democrats deeply worried about the repercussions of a victory
www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/m...

As Mamdani nears victory, Democrats worry about national fallout

The progressive candidate is on the cusp of a historic mayoral win. And that's adding to unease among Democrats looking for a way back to national power.

Elaine Welteroth, former editor-in-chief of Teen Vogue and youngest editor of Condé Nast ever, and the 2nd African American to hold this position, changed Teen Vogue to be more politically conscious.

Ex-Teen Vogue editor Elaine Welteroth: ‘The headlines implied I was a token black hire’

Welteroth was just 29 when Anna Wintour made her editor-in-chief. Months later, the magazine shut down. What did she do next?

It’s disheartening to see Teen Vogue dissolved into Vogue and its political team let go. For years, it was one of the few mainstream spaces that made room for honest, radical commentary on justice, inequality & the world we actually live in. I’m grateful it gave me a home for so many of my op-eds

It’s so poetic the degree to which every time windows breaks it now makes both windows and the ai they used to program it look like unusable garbage. These are the two things they’re trying to sell you btw

They probably shouldn’t have said publicly that they were using ai to program windows 11. I probably wouldn’t have said that part

I don't think I've come across a poem that taps into my ethos when it comes to navigating queer community within the context of a hostile world as much as "We Have Enough Dead Friends" by Lena Oleanderson.

I strive to make my home a sanctuary where other faggots feel safe and cared for.

We Have Enough Dead Friends
By Lena Oleanderson

Come over. The doors are open,
my flat's a mess and
so is my heart
but the doors are always open.
Come over. I will make soup,
probably from frozen but
the important thing is
we will both eat.

You don't have to be dying,
but if you are,
or you feel like you are,
or if living's been hard,
call me, and I will show up.
It doesn't have to be that bad,
it doesn't have to be bad at all,
but if it is, please call.

Do you want me to do the groceries?
Do you want me to mop the floors?
Do you need to be held;
you don't have to be dying to be held.
If you want me to be there, I want to.

I'm on the bathroom floor again,
and breathing is hard,
and eating's been hard, and sleeping,
the world is a laden thing
rolling around on my chest lately.
Just being alive is heavy tonight,
but we have enough dead friends.
Come over.

hard to put into words how hysterically enraged the far-right is over the prospect of mamdani winning but here’s a glimpse at my ‘for you’ tab on hellsite. it’s been like this since early voting started. the kind of stuff that provokes acts of violence.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

The New Yorker @newyorker.com · 21h

New York City is home to about a million Muslims—nearly a quarter of the country’s entire Muslim population. Yet epithets such as “extremist” and “jihadist” are used to describe Zohran Mamdani with such regularity that they’re hardly notable anymore.

What Zohran Mamdani’s Bid for Mayor Reveals About Being Muslim in America

The Islamophobic attacks on the candidate carry the weight of history and the urgency of the present.

Look folks gen AI videos are out in the wild so if you weren't already being careful about sharing rage bait videos then now is a great time to start

If you can't trace a video back to a trusted source then I recommend leaving it where it is, like a slice of bologna you found on the street

Part of what is going on here isn't just inflicting hunger, it's inflicting humiliation. Human beings should be able to feed themselves and their families with dignity.

The sadism is the point.

Brian Goldstone @brian-goldstone.bsky.social · 2d

Here in Atlanta yesterday, more than 2,000 people waited in their cars—one woman for 14 hours—for a box of food. The giveaway ended early; there wasn't enough to go around.

Multiply this scene by countless others across the country, and you get a sense of how crushing the desperation is right now.
