Greetings, new friends! You may know me as an author, a prolific Bluesky poster and 4th place finisher on So You Call That Dancing? But you might not know that my partner Judith (@mzpress) and I have an online arts bookstore that's growing every day. Full inventory here: mzs.press/EVERYTHING-W...

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

This is ridiculous.

Wow! What sounded like the entire AEW Dynamite audience in Las Vegas tonight chanted "Fuck ICE! Fuck ICE!" in unison before the main event

If the president cannot be sued while in office, then the president should not be able to file suit while in office. Fair is fair.

British response to the film about Melania Trump: If they were screening it for free at the bottom of my garden I'd shut the curtains.

NSPM-7 Security Directive listing anti-capitalism and anti-Americanism as indicators of terrorism

Remember: Ice and all federal law enforcement are following the new security directive NSPM-7 from POTUS.

They are operating with completely unconstitutional “unqualified immunity.”

Sorry for your loss.

No, you're right.

It's awful. I don't know if I finished it.

Okay if you want an action to take, and you’re able to donate blood:

The NY Blood Center (which also serves NJ) has a 40% reduction in their blood supply, partly due to the prevalence of flu this season.
Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood, and you can save a life!

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

David Brooks, who wrote in the NYT last month, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out" is... in the latest Epstein photo dump published by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov.

He should absolutely be fired by NYT for this. Major conflict of interest that he didn't disclose.

Life in Gaza is a constant struggle. We can make it a little bit easier by giving what we can.
