Just a reminder that the pedophilia and csa you're casually dismissing as irrelevant to "the big picture"won't see your comment but CSA survivors will and I'll tell you it's been a brutal few years.

The AFL-CIO should start throwing some money towards labor journalism. If it was done right (i.e. with them accepting that journalists must have full editorial control over what’s published, whether or not union leaders like what they have to say) it could really have such a hugely positive impact

With all the excitement about the election I don’t want this story to get lost. This morning 8 car wash workers in Boston were kidnapped by federal agents in the largest workplace raid in the area in recent memory.

The details are horrifying.

Many of them held legal status but were unable to immediately produce their documentation to the agents, according to their manager.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

this is something that individual members of Congress could do tomorrow. The government is shut down so they could use their district offices. I suggested in January that they turn those offices into full on community centers where people could find each other re: mutual aid etc...

@govpritzker.illinois.gov owns every arrest and act of violence against protesters this morning. He is aiding and abetting Operation Midway Blitz by allowing state cops to do this. He tells us to film ICE. His cops have shoved me around for filming this morning.

I think what’s most frustrating right now for Black and Indigneous people is waiting for the bulk of white folks to catch up.

At some point the “this isn’t who we are” and “I didn’t have this on my bingo card” has to end and y’all will catch up, right? RIGHT?

WE NEED YOU TO CATCH UP.

#boston Noon today Rep Lynch will at VA in West Roxbury. If you want to let him know how you feel about his support for deporting immigrants he doesn't hold public forums and the crowd here will be smaller than say his rallies in Quincy @jpprogressives.bsky.social @progressivemass.bsky.social

Who is doing counter-recruitment organizing for ICE? As the economy worsens, those jobs and the loan forgiveness offer will become more attractive to unpoliticized individuals. There needs to be a clear social cost for even considering joining those ranks.

I have a term for this:

Irritated vindication- situation where you are right or know you were going to be right about something, tried your best to tell people, and were ignored. When the thing happens, you are less happy about being right and more irritated that it had to come to that moment.

While I have everyone's attention, the genocide happening in Palestine -- in Gaza AND the West Bank -- is a crime against humanity.

Please raise your voice in defense of Palestinian lives. They are depending on us to remind those with power that they have a right to live.

It's not normal that I'm lying in bed crying over the possibility that a f*cking budget bill failed while comfort watching Mary Poppins. I had a very different expectation of middle age.

The folks' building cages to put people in are the spiritual descendants of the people who used to dress in their Sunday best to watch Black folks getting lynched. Same people who created lynching postcards. This evil has always been present.

GOP Congressman Thomas Massie says he has the votes to block Trump’s big bad bill in the House. Call a Republican rep!

Even the factories are saying no celebrating

Anyhow call your Congress person and demand they vote no on this monstrosity of a budget bill. Show up at their offices if you can
