In Bovino's upside down world, there is no difference between an armed gang member preying on others in his community and a guy working 12 hours a day washing cars, flipping burgers, or installing sheetrock to feed his family — and he wants you to hate and fear both men equally.
Bovino: "Whether they were criminals or individuals that were taking jobs from Americans -- you name it, that's what they were doing. And I'll tell you what's gonna happen. We're gonna go even harder on the streets. If he releases those 650, we're gonna apprehend 1,650 on the streets of Chicago."

I’m confused. All
These Epstein emails have been coming out all day but Grijalva was just sworn in. What files are we getting if they aren’t yet the ones Congress was voting to release?

Pope Leo and I have the same favorite movie!
Frank Capra’s “It’s a Wonderful Life” (1946), starring Jimmy Stewart; Robert Wise’s “The Sound of Music” (1965), starring Julie Andrews; Robert Redford’s “Ordinary People” (1980), starring Donald Sutherland and Mary Tyler Moore; and Roberto Benigni’s “Life Is Beautiful” (1997)

Money is the best donation to a food bank.
spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

Good night everyone. May tomorrow bring us more justice and some peace.
![“Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world all at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach. Any small, calm thing that one soul can do to help another soul, to assist some portion of this poor suffering world, will help immensely. It is not given to us to know which acts or by whom, will cause the critical mass to tip toward an enduring good. What is needed for dramatic change is an accumulation of acts, adding, adding to, adding more, continuing. We know that it does not take everyone on Earth to bring justice and peace, but only a small, determined group who will not give up during the first, second, or hundredth gale.

There will always be times when you feel discouraged. I too have felt despair many times in my life, but I do not keep a chair for it. I will not entertain it. It is not allowed to eat from my plate.

Nazi skull? Pirate skull? Asshole skull? Learn more in this thread!
Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call “Nazi skull or not a Nazi skull”
First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided.
With me so far? 1/x

I hope someday the East Wing Ballroom gets converted into a fascism museum, describing all the things that led to the rise and fall of fascism in America, like the Documentation Centers in Germany.
SNAP benefits expire in one week.
Leavitt: At this moment in time, the ballroom is really the president's main priority.

I hope someday we defeat fascism and in the far future, No Kings Day is celebrated as a federal holiday, and little children leave out dance mixtapes and cookies for the Resistance Frog, who leaves pocket Constitutions in their shoes.

the answer to the trolley problem is not to pick who to sacrifice, it’s to dismantle the system that led to an unsafe trolley crossing.
if any part of your morality strategy involves picking a group to let die on a hill, throw the entire strategy out. it’s wrong.

Mourning those murdered by Hamas isn't incompatible with mourning those murdered by the Israeli state.
Demanding that the hostages return isn't incompatible with naming & demanding an end to genocide.
Naming the power imbalance & impact thereof doesn't desecrate those murdered two years ago today.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America
