People are choosing real alternatives instead of continuity. Mamdani stands for an antifascist economics in the name of the many. 🧵

Sarah Hurwitz Profanes the Holocaust
Holocaust education has worked too well for the Obama speechwriter, since when she rationalizes Israel's genocide, "I sound obscene." Maybe sit with that, Sarah

"Our default, too often, are marches and rallies. Yes, these can be symbolically powerful, but unless they’re part of a broader strategy to shift power — by withdrawing cooperation, applying economic pressure and disrupting key functions — they rarely force change on their own."

We won a lawsuit that prevents the Trump administration from dismantling four federal agencies that provide services and funding supporting public libraries and museums, workers, and minority-owned businesses nationwide.

my jaw is on the floor and yet im completely unsurprised. trump’s only political conviction is that he loves a handsome winner
A reporter asks if Mamdani stands by calling Trump a fascist. Mamdani starts to give a delicate answer.

Trump (smiles, pats Mamdani's arm): "That's OK, you can just say yes. It's easier. I don't mind."

Q: Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?

MAMDANI: I've spoken about--

TRUMP: That's okay. You can just say yes. I don't mind.

Full house tonight at the little Mennonite church for Trans Day of Remembrance. The pastor is speaking out against “confining the diversity of creation to one vision.” #tdor

Never let those taken by the cruelty of this world be forgotten. Remember and cherish their memories.

Parents. Siblings. Friends. Lovers.

Remember the lost.

Keep their light and warmth alive within you.

Show that light and warmth to others without shame.

I'm a trans person w/ a trans kid & we lose trans siblings every year to hateful violence. On Trans Day of Remembrance we're called not only to collectively mourn those we've lost, but to renew our commitment to keep fighting for those who are still here.

Good evening all. For this year's Trans Day of Remembrance (TDOR), TFR remembers three transfeminine authors who passed away this year: Miss Major Griffin-Gracy (78), Valerie Amelia Thompson (38), and Michelle Duff (85) 🖤

We also remember 367+ victims of anti-trans violence and suicide 🕯️

This is what systemic white supremacy looks like. Trump is building a Nationalist Christian (Nat-C) state to violently stifle dissent.

The thing that unites conservatives, liberals, fascists, and leftists around Epstein's violence is that the vast majority never cared about the girls.

It has only ever been about whose reputation can be damaged.
So many vulnerable people were hurt, harassed and raped by these ghouls and now—I’m worried—it’s gonna become hehe haha lurid internet circus instead of a long overdue moral reckoning. I’m scared of who we all are becoming. That man has brought us ALL low.

A shit ton. I made a whole list of “centrist” and “moderate” corporate funded PAC’s that are attacking progressives instead of fascist candidates and how they organize and spend money to do it. It’s telling. Especially since they are democrats who supposedly want a “big umbrella” party.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

The media attacked trans folks calling them groomers and pedophiles. The Democrats attacked Mamdani. Both groups cooperated, collaborated with and/or capitulated to the Republicans as they struggled to bring about a new authoritarian white nationalist cryptochristian fascist state. Everyone's guilty

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.
