Instead of bemoaning the fact that I don't get to sing with groups of people anymore I have gone out and created my own event at a small local non profit. If you're in the area come sing with us. Woody Guthrie says it's the best kind of conversation. #thorndikemill #woodyguthrie #carolsinging

seems that Susan Collins is voting for the "SAVE ACT" and is not too "concerned" with helping other woman vote...she's covering all her bases on a bill that will not pass...really hoping we can get rid of her in November

great cartoon...hope they make a sh*t ton of money from it.
Cartoon: If anyone in Chicago knows this school or an anti ICE organization affiliated with them I would be happy to donate this art. I only wish I could have fully Sal Buscema-ed that punch :)

If the right to vote wasn’t powerful, Trump wouldn’t be trying to take it away.

The opening of the Epstein files, such as it is*,
has unleashed the biggest crowdsourcing operation in the history of the world.
*The DOJ has not made everything public

GREAT IDEA!!!
Since we have the right to a well regulated militia, can we have our own jails and arrest traitors to the Constitution (allegedly)?

Because if only women voted Democrats would win every time. If only med vote the Rethuglicans will be the left wing of the government. We should be very very worried.
STOP WOMEN FROM VOTING!!!

Rep. Angie Craig: "The attacks on Black and brown people in Minnesota have been egregious. At the end of the day, what they wanted out of Minnesota was for us to riot. I think this will go down in American history as one of the greatest examples of peaceful resistance from an entire community."

Call US Senators and tell them to vote against the SAVE Act. It has already passed the US House. In its current form, it means that 100 years after women earned the right to vote, we are facing down the implementation of a 21st century poll tax for women.

JFC, cut that shit in half and you’ve eradicated hunger, provided healthcare for all and made education free for all Americans. What the fuck are we doing?

the plan is to muddy the water and overwhelm the public with sorting out the real pedophiles from the "just mentioned"
It is driving me absolutely insane that people are using "mentioned in the files" alone as criteria for implication or complicity. If Epstein forwarded a news story with someone interviewed that's mentioned in the files. If he had an invitation to a conference someone spoke at that's "mentioned"

I think @wajali.bsky.social was clear. He acknowledges the current fight, but asks @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social to lead on the long term goal of abolishing ICE. I don’t understand the leader’s reticence on that very simple, and frankly moderate position.
A simple ? from Wajahat Ali pushes Hakeem Jeffries into a crashout:
"Why not lead and abolish ICE? What you're telling us is you want our taxpayer dollars to pay for a lawless masked armed agency to continue terrorizing our cities."
Jeffries: "I don't understand anything you just said to me."
