It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column

Lex McMenamin (they/them) @leximcmenamin.com · 2d

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.

I have to imagine far-right Catholics are really struggling with the fact that they can now hear this stuff in English directly from the pope.

“How did you receive the foreigner? And did you receive him and welcome him or not?”

Pope Leo XIV challenges us to reflect on the moral cost of policies that target deeply-root immigrants and families.

Antifascist and anti eugenics?

You know what’s great about this concept?

The only people who disagree are the worst human beings imaginable and they deserve to be socially excluded.

Every human deserves dignity. Dignity requires material stability. Easy concept. The biggest possible tent that excludes assholes.

@governor.ca.gov Governor Newsom, given the abject failure of GOP transphobia tonight to get them absolutely any success whatsoever with voters, will you be reconsidering your policy of throwing transgender Californians under the bus to further your political ambitions?

If you're a Democratic pundit, policy maker, or think tank I need you to eat a big bag of shut the fuck up forever on sacrificing trans people to win.

Take a moment, cherish this W.

Then we start stabbing the rest of the Republicans in the voter base.

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist

jamelle @jamellebouie.net · 2d

the other thing about this is that there is no reason to pit these candidates against each other? each are good fits for their respective electorates and each shows the value of vigorous campaigns focused on the stated material problems of voters.

Maybe now all the fucking democrats from carville to the blue heart crew here who keep saying the way to win is to hate trans people more will shut the fuck up

whatever you think of Spanberger, the fact that her opponent ran a campaign based almost entirely on transphobia and is on track to eat shit in the biggest blowout the state has seen since 2009 is unambiguously a huge win

Earle-Sears ran what felt like 12 billion ads about how much she hated trans kids and I didn’t hear a single pundit say she should stick to real issues that affect real people.

The unicorn listened intently. Somewhere in the forest, someone innocent was singing.

The unicorn followed the sound, found the singer, and laid down with their head in the singer's lap.

"bottles of-"

The young orc fell silent, smiled shyly, then resumed singing.

"Beer on the wall..."
