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.

Why do people buy pizza with EBT?

Because cauliflower is five dollars a head and you can buy five pizzas with the same money.

It’s not that folks don’t want to be healthy. They can’t afford to be healthy.

I’m still pissed - and gutted.

The donor list for Trump’s White House ballroom felt overwhelming — like how do we even begin to protest this?

So I broke it down into small, doable actions. If you’re upset too, here’s how you can push back — even in 5-10 min chunks.

🧵/1

#CollaboratorsList

Aerial view of the White House and nearby government buildings in Washington, D.C., surrounded by autumn trees. The East Wing area appears demolished, with construction debris and cleared ground visible where the historic structure once stood. The scene is both surreal and heartbreaking against the familiar backdrop of the capital.

Graphic titled “The White House Ballroom Donor-Collaborators” in large white and orange text on a blue background. Below, two columns list names of corporations and individuals who funded or supported the ballroom, including: Adelson Family Foundation, Amazon, Apple, Booz Allen Hamilton Inc., Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, Comcast, Google, Lockheed Martin, Meta Platforms, Microsoft, Palantir Technologies Inc., Stephen A. Schwarzman, T-Mobile, and others. The handle @jfoxtales appears at the bottom in orange text.

I'm tired. We're all tired. This isn't hard to understand. You can't inflate prices of basic necessities like food and housing to ridiculous highs while keeping wages at poverty levels, then act surprised when luxury goods/services and large purchases become unattainable or payments unaffordable.

A massive walk out

Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net · 14d

Can I ask, what did the No Kings protest actually accomplish? I mean, in real terms, what have these protests materially changed? I can't help but feel these one off protests are merely a heatsink for energy and anger rather than a path for meaningful change and disruption of the system.

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us.

We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again.

That's the revolution.

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

They're openly calling to lock up every trans person by force. We need every ally to speak out forcefully against this because trans folks cannot do this on our own.
