Major Springsteen fan. I love gardening and science and hate all things Trump related. Please, no DMs until I get to know you! 😺

In 2016 I scoffed at the notion that Teen Vogue could be a reliable and knowledgeable source of political journalism

I was wrong-and came to enjoy their reporting

Hopefully the staff will find better positions in journalism after what certainly looks like a political decision by Condé Nast
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.

Holder: They have elections in Russia, and Putin gets 95, 93% of the vote. We’ll continue to have elections here in the US. The question is whether the people will actually get the opportunity to express their views on the policy direction of the nation.

No fan of Hochul, but she’s said the right things in the final weeks— including here, where she stood up to no less than Hakeem Jeffries (who must go).

4 November 1923 | Czech Jewish woman, Eva Wolfová, was born in Prague.

She was deported to #Auschwitz from #Theresienstadt ghetto on 6 September 1943. She did not survive.

What about Ohio, you asked? Well:

—One of the fall's biggest bonds packages is in Columbus, for $1.9 billion
—Mayoral elections in Cleveland or Cincinnati are likely not too competitive (though there's the JD Vance connection)...
—... but all 3 of these cities have some heated council races.

Colorado has not been high on the hype-list, but here's some of what's worth watching:

—statewide measures on funding free school meals
—one of the fall's big school board battles, in Douglas Co.
—labor/charter split in Denver schools
—Denver's package on infrastracture $$
—Aurora's council

I'll move to Minnesota next, with these races jumping out:

—the heated Minneapolis mayor's race, of course
—but also divisive city council races there
—the majority of the tight state Senate is technically on the line with two legislative specials
—a ballot measure on allowing fines in St Paul
