When I wrote this piece a year ago, I said a clash was coming - an epochal one, like WWII, which wouldn't be directly fought over "what" queerness is now, but would inevitably decide that question. Then came Oct 7th. bostonreview.net/articles/whos-…

A mass shooting is when 4 or more people are shot. Today, NYPD shot 3 subway riders and also a cop. NYPD committed a mass shooting on the subway, all over one person allegedly using an emergency exit instead of paying $2.90. This is the NYPD under Eric Adams and Kathy Hochul.

A couple of bros who joked about and posted fake stuff about the Pelosi assassination attempt have thoughts …

Is it OK to point out that this is a threat to democracy? Or nah?

Amber Thurman, a 28-year-old mother, died after she couldn’t access legal abortion care in Georgia. The state review committee found that her death was preventable and that a delay in care caused her death. Trump’s abortion bans are killing women. propub.li/3N7xPgN

My assumption is mass deportations will invoke mass protests, which Trump will use to invoke the Insurrection Act. That’s game, set, match on the Constitution. He already tried to do it in 2020.

Now these Amazon management animals turned a hose on us in freezing temperatures. Teamsters aren’t going anywhere!

"I felt like, like, like a Nazi ... it looked exactly like we were actually the Nazis and they were the Jews."

This is absurd. The The New York Times published a piece about Israel's bombing campaign in Gaza. They refer to an Israeli order allowing the killing of up to 20 civilians, including if the target was a "lowest-ranking fighter". They claim the order "has not previously been reported."

🚨 BREAKING: Trump, visibly confused and rambling, forgot why he was in the Oval Office—to swear in Tulsi Gabbard as DNI. Instead, he tried to leave without doing it, leaving even Newsmax stunned. At almost 79 years old, the decline is undeniable. This is not normal.

I didn't know where the New York Times publishing a story accusing a politician of lying about his race was going but I didn't expect "Cremieux's sister accuses him of lying about getting a PhD on bloosky" NGL

Oop

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. She’s answering a question. She clearly says “No, porque yo soy Guatemalteca con mucho orgullo, PRIMERO yo soy Americano” which means “No, because while I am proud to be a Guatemalan woman, FIRST I am an American”. It’s not really ambiguous!

absolutely losing it at cuomo starting the day with “zohran mamdani you are a nepo baby secret millionaire who steals housing from homeless mothers” and closing it with “in case you forgot, I am former governor mario cuomo’s son.” nobody’s doing it like this social media team

True: Zohran Mamdani lives in 1 unit of rent-stabilized housing. Also true: Andrew Cuomo presided over the loss of 96,064 units of rent-stab housing. And killed NY’s program helping people move out of shelter. Moral clarity: Andrew, time to move out. 🧵 x.com/andrewcuomo/st…

I think I was far too charitable when I originally just read the quote because I didn't expect her to say it LIKE THAT???
