Ask any of your favorite Black women writers from a decade ago why their bylines stopped appearing, and you’ll likely hear the same response: There is no place for us in media. In TV. In publishing or academia. For the majority of us, there’s no place but gone.

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.

That checks out given his response to several highly profile ICE abductions.

Mr Cigarettes @nitricacidbottle.bsky.social · 1d

Absolutely. Unless, there is actually footage of local law enforcement pushing back against ICE it’s nothing more then a liberal fantasy.

At best, that whole ill-fitting outfit is probably 30 year old surplus

It would be the funnest thing ever if this gets him on trumps petty shit list. It would cool if folks on the media egg him on about this.

It’s pathetic. but god I hope Cuomo doesn’t swing it in this clown’s direction.

Mr Cigarettes @nitricacidbottle.bsky.social · 1d

It’s just the sloppier more brazen version of what various civilizations have done before(I.e. the crusades). Not to take anything away from how terrible they are, but they are fundamentally unoriginal about everything they do, and it’s always just a stupidest version of history repeating itself.

Unprofitable Out-Of-State Coal Plants Costing Kentucky Electricity Customers - West Virginia Public Broadcasting

Behind the rates paid by the companies’ customers is a hidden cost that doesn’t show up on their bills. Customers receive electricity from two aging, out-of-state coal plants that lose a lot of money.

You can’t tell from the photo but imagine the piss smell from decades of urine soaked in that carpet.

Senior leadership is corrupt and far more concerned with appeasing the same wealthy doners republicans have had in their pockets for decades then listening to what voters and their base actually wants. Any movement that is serious about changing the direction of the party need to oust them first.

Its got a phoniness that drips off of each social media post. these are folks who’s only obsession is convincing outside groups how perfect and great their lives are.

Mr Cigarettes @nitricacidbottle.bsky.social · 2d

They gotta jettison their wealthy donners and consultants and embrace labor movements. If there is a strike, they need to be there in full support.

Also this person makes a better point.

I will never understand the pundit obsession with getting Democrats to solve "political division."

Not only is this what they're already doing, but Klein admits that Republicans will never do the same. So elections will remain constant GOP smears and simping Democratic promises of bipartisanship.

This Is the Way You Beat Trump — and Trumpism

I saw a poll a few weeks ago that struck me. It was from The New York Times and Siena University. It asked Americans what they thought the top problem facing the country was. No. 1 was the economy. That was what I expected. But No. 2 wasn’t immigration or inflation or democracy or climate change or even Trump. It was political division. In that same poll, 64 percent of the country said we’re too divided to solve our problems. They’re not wrong.

I hear it when Trump says, “I hate my opponent and I don’t want the best for them.” When I hear that, I hear something scary, but I also hear an opening, an opportunity: In the end, most Americans want America to work. They know we disagree with one another. They don’t want us to hate one another.

They are there in spite of party leadership, not because of it.

Fascists need an enemy. If white liberals abandon all values and went full MAGA They will just double down on groups that can’t hide their differences.

It’s a good things the Democratic Party learned from that and didn’t attempt to try it again, like with immigration or board security.
