A dresser inside a museum in New York City has been discovered as a secret stop on the Underground Railroad — the first of its kind discovered in Manhattan in over 100 years

I have searched and can’t find where any rationale was provided by the governor or the bill sponsors for this exception

Had anyone seen any explanation from Newsom or other public officials?

This isn’t sitting right with me and I’m looking for facts (I’ve heard/read the speculation)
An important part of this legal ruling is that California under the anti-mask law treats its own officers separately. That was a last-minute addition by Gavin Newsom. Now it got the law thrown out.

I tell you what, Ring figured out exactly how to weaponize white people’s empathy in service to a corporately controlled surveillance state.

That was hands down the best halftime show ever. It was filled with so many references to Puerto Rican culture and history. The sugarcane fields, the casita, the streets of NYC, and the power lines. All of it resonated so much. Boricua por siempre.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

Yeah no one should be giving this “journalist” access to shit

Fuck this shit
Something that would be fascinating to cover, but something I am not personally sourced for, are the arrests of activists or press by federal agents. I did try staking out one activists home, but she was arrested at a hotel instead.

There is room for all sorts of tactics. Don’t get sucked into manufactured infighting and waste energy infighting. Spend it on the fight

No Cop City, No Cop World:
Lessons from the Movement has essays from groups w/ different motivations & tactics. They were united in the desired outcome

Do that

I snorted when I originally saw this and then moved on, but now that NBC censored this from their US broadcast, I feel like it needs to be reposted at least a few million times more

If you don’t know about Anna Mae Aquash, this is a great time to learn about her story

COINTELPRO used infiltrators to weaponize mistrust to weaken groups from the inside. Fedjacketing accusations are most likely to be levied against anyone counter to the white supremacist cis hetero patriarchy

Anyone who supports LA hosting the 2028 Olympics is either:

- misinformed
- not from here
- rich and wanting to get richer off the backs of working class Angelenos

It has already started to displace community resources and it’s likely to leave our city with huge debts
"The decision on whether to try to cancel or renegotiate the terms of Olympic hosting depends on which you prefer to risk: billions of dollars in losses on hosting the Games, or billions in penalties for not hosting them."

A new @saje-la.bsky.social report by @neildemause.bsky.social is a must-read
A city that can't win
LA has limited options to get out of hosting in 2028 — but LA does have options

This document is one of the great political failures of our time. It must be immediately denounced by all people of good will. And it will be a major scandal if any "civil rights" organization gives cover to this capitulation to fascism.
SENATE AND HOUSE DEMOCRATS ARE UNITED ON REINING IN THE ABUSES OF ICE

Americans have watched in horror as ICE has terrorized communities across the country

Federal agents can’t continue to cause chaos in our cities while more Americans are killed

We must rein in ICE

Here’s what we're demanding:

People gotta fuckin stop doin this. I won't vote for Gavin Newsom. Gavin Newsom will lose. I'm saying it now so y'all have time to listen, tho you never do. But nah I ain't voting for diet fascism just because he has a D. Candidates have to do what we want to get elected, there's no fealty here.
One should not vote for the demographics one wishes but the one they have.

If the CA Gov is popular, he is better than the alternative. This is a two-party system barring a Perot laying out millions/billions to be noticed. Which could skew everything anyways.

The “fight against autism” is a fight against autistics. This is so incredibly dangerous and we are begging you to pay attention. They are going to kill us because not enough of us pay taxes I guess?

Please don’t leave us behind 😟

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.
