Over 30,000 students walked out of class to protest the presence of ICE in their city.
Let this give you hope.
The next generation are engaged and paying attention.
They’re firmly rejecting fascism and tyranny.
They’re rising up.

Dept. of Ed is reclassifying all the female dominated professions (nurse, therapist, speech pathologist, PA) as not having “professional” degrees, which makes it harder for them to get educational loans.
Another FUCKED UP thing this admin is doing to attack women’s power.
Take that shit to court!

I think there's a decent chance that the Pope visits Chicago during this presidency and while there asks to see Broadview and I wonder how that plays out.

I am increasingly of the opinion that people who change menus and look and feel of computer software just so that you know it's a new version should be personally forced to play tech support to my mother for five months.

I want Aaron Sorkin to write the scene when Trump calls Murphy Brown “Piggy.” An eleven-minute monologue. Two Secret Service agents resign mid-reply. Brendan Carr has a no-shit legitimate stroke when Murphy finishes and falls over stone dead.

A few weeks ago I was talking politics with a local, highly straight, bartender.
All the sudden he said: “Well, I think a big part of the problem is that so many of the people who would’ve been our progressive leaders died of AIDS & can’t help us now.”
And I’ve thought about that every day since.
