They kicked Lia Smith off the Middlebury College Swimming and Diving team for being trans and now, as the 2026 season kicks off, she's dead. Rest in power, Lia. The world is so cruel sometimes.

Mamdani did this without tacking to the center by accepting republican framing and throwing marginalized people under the bus or even apologizing for being socialist; something that party operatives who actually want to win might learn from.
Across the city, more than 164,000 New Yorkers flocked to the polls this weekend for the first two days of early voting, according to the Board of Election, a staggering turnout that nearly matches the entire early voting count in 2021.

a trans girl in vermont was kicked off her swimming team and committed suicide and at the very same time, the discourse in d.c. today is about whether the democratic party should’ve abandoned her sooner in order to win votes

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

First the administration cut food assistance for Americans in need.

Now they’re refusing to use emergency funds for food assistance—even though their now-deleted shutdown plan said they could.

They have the funding to keep families from going hungry. There’s no excuse.

Children being ripped from their mother. FUCK THIS
ICE followed the mother into a school and aggressively detained her along with her children.

New from me:

Elite law firms, multiple media outlets, the D.C. attorney general, and a group of parents accused a teacher of molesting 15 kids. They were wrong.

This piece is two-and-a-half years in the making. And as you'll see, it took some incredible turns, even as I was reporting it.
Accusing Jordan Silverman
A D.C. teaching assistant was accused of molesting up to 15 kids. Multiple law enforcement agencies cleared him. But his nightmare was just beginning.

Yes, hurricanes have rapidly intensified in October before.
Yes, the Caribbean has been untouched this hurricane season.

But we understand the human influence on the excessive warmth in the basin, boosting #Melissa's intensity.

Real-time data & the human-caused impacts 🧵👇
#Melissa is starting to rapidly intensify (RI) in the Caribbean as it amps into an expected Cat 5 hurricane by (latest) Monday.

While there have been others to do it, a hurricane undergoing RI in October is relatively uncommon.

At the food pantry I volunteer at we were absolutely swamped today and by many first timers. We ran out of whole categories of food. Please donate cash to your local organization if you at all can.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.
