My super woke opinion is that letting the State execute people is inhumane and morally bankrupt and more people should say it and be louder when they do so
Tremane Wood is alive in spite of the Supreme Court, which, this morning, rejected his request to block Oklahoma from executing him at 10am as punishment for a murder he did not commit

Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt commuted the sentence to life in prison at 9:59

Oklahoma Didn’t Kill Tremane Wood, No Thanks to the Supreme Court
The justices used to struggle with the constitutionality of the death penalty. Now, they rubber-stamp it.

Or Radical Feminism or Socialist Feminism or Trans Feminis. Anyone attacking feminists, is a coward attacking women. All women. And yeah, cowards are reliably exhausting.
This is exhausting. But telling.

Whenever you hear someone attacking feminists, you should know they’re attacking women and they’re too chickenshit to admit they’re attacking women.

Tokenism is a tool of systemic racism to help create validation by proxy of "if someone of that demographic said it, it's not racist" but it still is, they just target people to create a false sense of community with so it can thrive. So miss me with that.
It's exhausting how many people want to talk around the systemicness of racism and then try to boil it down to individualism. Racism is the default, white people who are just now seeing this are deviating from the norm. Not the other way around.

Important: The anti-vaxx movement is closely connected to white supremacy. They blame the spread of measles on immigrants, and they frequently target immigrant communities with anti-vaxx disinformation.

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

This sounds fantastic! I’ll be on the lookout for this KNOW YOUR RIGHTS comic for sure!
And PLEASE be on the lookout for @alexsegura.bsky.social and @davidhahn.bsky.social's new Civics for All project - a KNOW YOUR RIGHTS comic for NYC public school kids!

Literally the most important announcement out of this year's NYCC, if you ask me. ❤️

Just announced at NYCC: I’m writing a KNOW YOUR RIGHTS comic with artist @davidhahn.bsky.social in partnership with @nycschools.bsky.social #civicsforall comics program, covering and explaining student rights when it comes to immigration enforcement.

I used to work for SNAP. The lack of food resources will hit elderly and children the most.

Donate to your local food bank always; but especially now. Not just with donations but monies so that the food banks can purchase the necessary foods and supplies to keep your neighbors healthy.
food banks have already been under pressure over the past several years, and with SNAP benefits expiring they're going to be the only safety net for a lot of people

please donate what you can. $100 can feed several families for a month because of the discounts and purchasing power they have

Always up for boosting the signal of @nysfocus.bsky.social.
The story I've been wanting to read is about the actual obstacles in Albany to Mayor-elect Mamdani's agenda, what the political dynamics are, and what might be the competition for any revenue increases. Our friends at @nysfocus.bsky.social told that story and we're proud to elevate it.
Zohran Mamdani’s Next Big Battle Is in Albany - The American Prospect
Mamdani convinced New York City voters to back his agenda—now he needs to convince Albany politicians. The money his administration needs to fund his priorities will not be won without a fight.

This is one of my favorite pics of @pelosi.house.gov standing up to Trump and telling him that all roads lead to Putin (and it still does). She showed great leadership! #ThankYouNancy for fighting for all of us and you were one of the most effective and best Speaker of the House!

Let me put it this way. Disability supports are necessary to get disabled people out of survival mode. Because we can't get out of survival mode without help.

Without disability supports, we are stuck using desperate, highly ineffective, and often harmful strategies to survive.

So white folks continue to do white folks shit, eh? And Black people continued to fight for Democracy. Black people are the patriots white folks on the right and the left think that they are. We always have been. Black people are the base for the Democratic Party.

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

Enough with the “racially charged” BS. If it’s not describing a swasticar, the correct word is RACIST. Bobo is a racist. Her social circle is racist.
