Making white the color of the year is a little too on the nose.
Pantone has named a shade of white called Cloud Dancer as the defining color of the next year. Have they gotten it right? Reporters for our Styles desk sat down to debate. trib.al/Vf9rhmC

Exactly this. He used DOGE to advance his goal to significantly reduce the world's non-white population. He wasn't bonding with Stephen and Katie Miller over a shared love of classic movies.
no story about elon musk or his companies is complete without reference to both his overt white nationalist agitation, or his willingness to put that rhetoric into action by gleefully consigning countless thousands of people of color to death while running DOGE
it should probably be a bigger story that the richest man on earth and leading Republican is a fucking Nazi

media needs to stop beating around the bush. this is Nazi shit.

Lurie's "comprehensive" vetting form is 5 pages. I had to fill out a 4 page questionnaire to get my dog into a dog walking group.

I'm glad Mission Local is taking this seriously and making sure the person who will represent 80,000 San Franciscans actually bothers to vote themselves.
Records show that shortlisted District 4 supervisor candidate Tiffany Deng was a registered Republican from 2020 to 2022 and missed 9 consecutive elections until this month.

She's no longer a candidate.

This was (briefly) my supe and it makes me furious. We deserve competent representation and Lurie couldn't bother to do any kind of vetting before appointing someone wholly unqualified. His entire justification for the pick was her small biz experience and he didn't even check out her business.
Newly appointed San Francisco Supervisor Beya Alcaraz has agreed to resign at the request of Mayor Daniel Lurie following questions about her political qualifications and rocky management of a pet store.

Ppl need to understand what's happening here.

The GOP response to the shutdown was: You're gonna cave, or we're going to hurt vulnerable people by shutting off SNAP. The Dems, unwilling to let that happen, caved.

Having watched that, the GOP is now saying: "Give us what we want on abortion or ..."
NEWS: Senate Republicans are threatening to block the extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies—unless Democrats agree to tougher abortion restrictions.

Feminists have long been scared of looking mean, and as a result we’ve been way too nice to antifeminist women. Sorry no, you’re not submissive, servile, and dependent because you’re a woman and that’s just your feminine nature. You’re submissive, servile,and dependent because you lack self respect.

VA, and NJ are getting all the attention, but I think this is the bigger state-level story. I suspect few national reporters have spent much time in the Magnolia state, so they don't know how surprising this is.
NEW: Mississippi Democrats broke the Republican Party's supermajority in the state Senate tonight for the first time since 2011.

It came as Democrats flipped 2 Senate seats and 1 House seat.

“Mississippi just broke the supermajority—and the people have taken back their power,” the party says.

My dad gave me shit for it when I turned 18 and registered to vote as a Dem, arguing Dems are too busy running run away from what they said they believed in to fight for anything.

That he wasn't running away or triangulating was the most heartening part of Mamdani's campaign.
and i’m generally of the view that simply refusing to operate in a defensive crouch does a lot of the necessary political work. “i don’t agree with him but he isn’t a punk” is a real phenomenon!

I've always thought one of the secrets to Trump's rise was that his rallies are like Dead shows for monsters. People followed him from city to city and they built a community with red hats and tacky Trump merch in place of tie dye.
ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections
