Check out my new article for @TheFlawMagazine on the NYT’s anti-trans reporting, the self-serving fiction of “neutral” journalism, and the profitability of feeding the trans moral panic.

Irresponsible trans reporting also creates revenue. @TheFlawMagazine published an in-depth look at media profiting off of publishing anti-trans rhetoric and spurring anti-trans animus. The piece focuses on “the distinct culpability of @nytimes”: theflaw.org/articles/profi…

Congratulations to Mayor-elect Mamdani on a remarkable campaign and victory. Honored to serve as co-chair of the transition as we work to build an administration that governs effectively and delivers a city where all New Yorkers can build a good life.

Thank you, New York City. Together we made history. Now let’s get to work. transition2025.com



Teen Vogue’s political reporting was exceedingly sharp in recent years. Their work cut to the heart of issues affecting young people and was unafraid to challenge power. Their voice will be missed.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers on other sections, 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.

In Portland, an ambulance was summoned to the ICE office to treat an injured protester (not clear how he was injured). But when the patient was loaded inside, ICE officers refused to let the ambulance leave and threatened to shoot the ambulance driver: wweek.com/news/2025/10/1…


“If this deal holds, the crossings [will] be opened, and food will reenter Gaza… But the buzzing of the Israeli drones won’t stop. It’s a constant in our lives, that awful noise, that daily reminder that even in the absence of genocide, we are not free.” thenation.com/article/world/…

In two years since Oct 7, “agenda setting” Sunday shows—CNN’s SOTU, NBC’s Meet The Press & ABC’s This Week—have not featured a single Palestinian guest. I wrote about how US media shuts out Palestinians while musing about the particulars of their genocide inthesetimes.com/article/gaza-i…

The flotilla ended up bringing food to the Palestinians despite Israel’s best efforts to stop it. Beautiful.

It was @KenKlippenstein, an independent journalist, that broke the dam on this first. This is why it is so important we support independent media.

Brave everyday people across the world are having to do what their governments refuse to: deliver food & aid to Palestinians being starved. Now, Israel is illegally blocking aid & kidnapping them. No more aid to Israel. No more funding genocide. Free these humanitarians.

As Israel has started interception of global sumud flotilla boats. Pressure your governments for the protection of crew members

What concerns me most about the Coates/Klein thing is not that Democrats will compromise on something like trans athletes--that question is at SCOTUS now and thus beyond their reach anyway--but the framing is "what can we sacrifice" and not "what can we protect"

That’s a bomb about every 8 minutes, every hour, for 24 straight hours. On a starving civilian population, trapped in a strip of land the size of Philadelphia. After nearly two years of relentless attacks. The scale of Israel’s violence and atrocities is staggering.

There should be better options in American politics than just neoliberal corporatism on one side, and authoritarian nihilism on the other side.
