AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.

Got home this evening and “The Birds” was on TCM. Made 60+ years ago, meanings open to interpretation, unclear ending, but still excellent filmaking, terrifying, compelling, and relevant, maybe more so, today.

I'm seeing people wonder why ICE is going after Charlotte.
ICE has been at war with Charlotte's sheriff ever since he won in 2018.
We'd covered this at Bolts back in the day; this quote is from that sheriff:

We'd covered this at Bolts back in the day; this quote is from that sheriff:
“When the 8 African American sheriffs took over the largest counties in North Carolina, it became a threat to the good ol’ boy system,” says the sheriff of Charlotte. These new sheriffs broke ties with ICE.
But GOP lawmakers cracked down this week, overbidding the governor’s veto to adopt this law:

North Carolina GOP Is Cracking Down on the Black Sheriffs Who Stood Up to ICE
Boosted by new supermajorities, Republicans are closing in on legislation to mandate more collaboration with ICE and preempt local policies hard-won by immigrants’ rights advocates.

I hope some of the MANY candidates running in primaries have policy platforms to help small / local businesses and combat trump’s economic policies.

At the community board city services committee meeting last night we heard many restaurant owners say business is tough. I ask one when this started, he said “nine-ten months ago” — hmmm what happened then? 1/

This was before the federal food stamp act of 1964.
My point is this: my Mom’s family depended on the kindness of a ghostly stranger because there was no safety net. Today, we have one — and it’s our president’s job to protect it not use it for political leverage. 3/*

When her mom (my grandmother) opened the door there was nobody there but bags of groceries to make Thanksgiving dinner. They heard no car and saw no footprints in the snow — but someone, somehow, made sure they would not go hungry. 2/

My Mom, the oldest of five, grew up poor in rural western Pennsylvania. She didn’t talk much about it, but once told me this: they were living in a small house outside of town, it was the night before Thanksgiving, it was snowing, there was a knock on the door. 1/

Excited that Lina Kahn will be a leader on Mayor-elect Mamdani’s transition team. Monopolies and monopolistic practices are huge contributor of the un-affordability of NYC—from rent to grocery prices to job opportunities to pay inequity. Something I and many know all too well.

Last year after the election, I reflected: "When we fight, we win—but sometimes the fight takes awhile."
Last night, we saw Democratic victories across our nation. I am so proud of these enthusiastic, principled, inspirational leaders who will continue to fight for our nation, ideals, and progress.

Tonight, was another reminder: there is no single mold for a Democratic winner.
Progressives won. Moderates won. Rural, suburban, urban —they all won. Black, White, Latino, AAPI — they all won. We won in the East, South, Midwest and West. Victories in races from City Council to Governor.

The biggest problem with politics is all the predictions and takes filling our feeds—like it’s sports.
We’re hiring a candidate to work for us for four years. No matter if the election is won with a mandate or by a handful of votes, the winner works for us. That’s what matters.

Also, I am far from being a teen but saying Teen Vogue will focus on "career development, cultural leadership and other issues that matter most to young people." is incredibly condescending and dismissive of anyone who Condé Nast wants as a reader of any of their pubs.

Looking at my feed feeling positive about…
⏩️President Obama GOTV for gubernatorial candidates Spanberger (VA) + Sherrill (NJ) and praising NYC mayoral candidate Mamdani.
⏩️Governor Newsom and others —especially VP Harris— rallying for Prop 50 to fight back for all of us.

Yesterday, courts ruled that the president must keep funding SNAP and cannot require proof of citizenship to vote. Big wins for the people, although we shouldn’t have had to fight these fights against the president in the first place — as the president works for us.

We need all sorts of public infrastructure in LIC where I live—sewers, parks, schools, expanded transit, repairs to public housing, etc…it’s endless and it’s not just in LIC. But sure, build a ballroom addition onto the White House—its as if our president doesn’t know who he works for…🙄

I marched today because my patriotism, optimism, and love is stronger than my frustration and fear.
I realize today was more of a declaration of independence, a performative act (I did get great pictures) and not about holding our president, who thinks any publicity is good publicity, to account. 3
