I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

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.

“Speaker Johnson, many Americans are wondering why you’re unable to see or hear any developments in the news. Some are speculating that you were kicked in the head by a horse; others theorize that you’ve been huffing spray paint. Which is it?”

Early this morning, our city still plunged into darkness, I set off to walk the Brooklyn Bridge.

As the sun came up, we were joined by canvassers, labor leaders, elected officials, and working people — a movement to bring a new day to our city.

Tomorrow, we win it together.

Zohran, Tish James and Brad Lander lead a procession of hundreds walking across the Brooklyn Bridge at dawn.

Tish James, Brad Lander, Tony Simone and Rita Joseph wait for the march on the bridge.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

I’m not willing to give up a simple, winning message about the courts.

Alan Liskov @aliskov.bsky.social · 1d

I don't think they can run on the courts. It's too technical. Public doesn't know/understand/care. Just say what they will accomplish by expanding courts. I.e. protecting medical treatment for women.

When white people react with hostility to sharing space with Black and brown folk, they don’t care if those folk were born here, migrated legally, or are “illegal aliens.” They only see non-white faces who “don’t belong in their space.” This is why “ordinary concern” about migration is basic racism.

4. I think I’m coming around on expanding the court. Get a good slogan for this and run with it. Have regular people care about it.

Wait, did they edit an interview? Did they not air every second?

I heard that’s grounds for a multimillion lawsuit

Marc Elias @marcelias.bsky.social · 1d

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

Perhaps maybe now you understand why he apologized.

Mike Johnson lies shamelessly: "The president is desperate for SNAP benefits to flow to the American citizens who desperately rely on it ... the SNAP situation has legal impediments."

Saying you're better looking than a man half your age is so weak. Meanwhile, said man just laughs and says he has better things to do. That's strength. I don't know why this is a minority opinion but these days, it is.

Brett Kavanaugh's behavior during today's second oral arguments has been incredibly obnoxious and rude. He is so eager to kill a service member's lawsuit against a negligent government contractor that he keeps interrupting other justices, raising his voice, and getting emotional. Weird and erratic.

The Trump administration has said in a court filing that it plans to partially fund food aid for millions of Americans after two judges ruled last week that it must use contingency funds to pay for the benefits in November during the government shutdown.

It doesn’t matter what I think. Also, none of this would ever happen. But if I had a zillion dollars:

1. Run a “we do hard things” campaign across southern and rust belt states. Invest heavily in local, state and regional social infrastructure. Sponser later hours at a library, build a skate park…

Judah Grunstein @judah-grunstein.bsky.social · 1d

If I were to sum up my advice to the Democratic party leadership about how to defeat Trumpism, it would be to set aside policy for now and focus instead on articulating a vision of what American society should look like and what role the US should play in a rapidly changing world today.

It’s insane to me that not only did many people choose to send an evil vindictive tyrannical convicted felon back into office with full power of the govt, but they sent him knowing he would spend every day ensuring that all of us suffer and die instead of thrive and live.
