My comment is only about Schumer's inability to show more guts.
Times Square. Just start screaming either way. Someone will join you.
what would be a cool public place to go if/when the NYC mayoral election is called tonight?
Pulled a straight PA Dem ballot. ✌️

This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans.

Nero would be proud.

What election in which state will be the best predictor/indicator for how things will go in the mid-terms?
Absolutely could not have said this better.
20/10 no damn notes.

A lot of the people you see arguing against food assistance are actually on food assistance. They work at Walmart or a convenience store and think they are deserving, but others are not.

This is projection and the way that the 1% keep poor people pitted against poor people so they don’t look up.

Tried again to watch five minutes of The Conners and...do they just constantly talk about opioids?
Wow wow WOW

The downfall of a legend. F**k all who did this to Teen Vogue and the writers who created not only important journalism and discussion, but much needed representation for Black & trans teens. 💔
No more Black or trans staffers. No politics of any kind. The cowardice of mainstream media isn't just insulting, it's *boring.* Now TV is just like any other beauty rag. Why not just kill it quickly? Why the slow-motion pretense?
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.
Trying hard to recover fifteen+ years of work at typepad. Heels On The Field only existed there.

Very upsetting experience.

Re: #SNAP loss - everyone seems to focus on families with kids, and rightly so, but people, please check on your #elderly neighbors. They may not be as connected or aware, they might not drive, and the need will be significant. Please make sure they have access to #food as best you can.
Christ. Sorry Blue Jays fans.
So close. Centimetres.

The baseball gods. You just never know what they're up to...😵😄
current headspace:
4 or 5 times in this post-season a loss has felt like a bad omen to fans. And yet, here we are.

Ohtani on 3 days doesn't scare me, Glasnow after working however briefly tonight doesn't scare me. Sasaki after that many pitches back on the next day sure isn't scary.

Who else?
But then we'll get excited about the Phillies again and...we don't want to do that again do we

This is the laziest take. Perhaps listen to the intense romanticism of MANY of her songs, and you can connect that work to Showgirl: paper rings? Love story? She's realizing a dream for her life. Swifties know that. The anti-woman movement of trad wives has zero connection to her. Grow tf up.
It strips him of a lot of power and the dishonor is huge. I would guess he's glad his parents are gone. In times like these, everything unprecedented and any moment men are exposed as abusers of women feels extraordinary. I hope victims/survivors feel a small sense of vindication. Likely not much.
Finally, Prince Andrew is “being held accountable” if by accountable you mean losing titles and getting evicted while still keeping his wealth and freedom. It’s like grounding a billionaire: the public sees a punishment, but in reality, life goes on almost unchanged.
