No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong,

it is right.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness,

it is a strength.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited,

it is unlimited.

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani.

The president and his allies came after him.

Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute.

He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters.

His politics can win anywhere.

I love that Zohran did not praise Cuomo in his speech. You absolutely do not have to say nice things about bad people. We should normalize that in “polite” politics: Praising bad people is not actually “civility.”

I think it is time for churches to be taxed!
Texas Republicans torched the wall between church and state—ripping up the Constitution to force the Ten Commandments into every public school classroom.

This isn’t faith. It’s authoritarianism dressed as religion.

Schools aren’t pulpits. And fascism is on the march.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, renowned journalist Scott Pelley just highlighted how Donald Trump is working to stifle free speech in America, and how he plans on fighting back. This is huge.

Of course they find Bluesky annoying and uninviting. They spend most of their time in spaces that are awash in cognitive dissonance. Every morning, they wake up knowing they'll have to cover a sociopath whilst pretending he's not a sociopath. Most spaces enable that bet hedging. Bluesky doesn't.

If the Supreme Court - especially THIS Supreme Court - no longer takes DHS at its word, corporate media probably shouldn’t either. Just sayin.

Abolish ICE
"Three US citizen children from two different families were deported with their mothers by ICE Friday morning. One of them is a 4-year-old with Stage 4 cancer who was deported without medication or the ability to contact their doctors" www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
Three U.S. citizens, ages 2, 4 and 7, swiftly deported from Louisiana
The cases have renewed concerns that the Trump administration’s expedited deportations are violating the rights of both citizens and noncitizens.

You can’t “deport” a US citizen, just like you can’t “return” a book you bought to a library.

It’d be cool if the ppl who kicked & screamed about the phony Biden bribery story (where the FBI informant went to prison for lying) at least pretended to care about Trump blatantly selling access.

RFK Jr’s comments over the past week have me feeling a certain kind of way 🤬
Add RFK Jr’s appointment of David Geier, and you have a real life nightmare.
It’s so much worse than I think the majority of people can grasp.

Here’s why 41% of union members voted against their own interests in the 2024 election.

Republicans spent over 100 million dollars convincing maga to blame the wrong people.

Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation.

I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.
