Shut down every ICE black site and replace cruelty with common-sense immigration laws that protect long-time residents like Paul John Bojerski while ensuring safe, secure borders.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Do not be a doomer about this. Just call your New York friends and remind them to vote, and tell them to do the same. He is more popular and will win with good turnout.
i hate to be that bitch, but my sources are telling me this early voting data has gotten Zohran's people rightly spooked and y'all better stop assuming this one's in the bag. GOTV
Voter turnout surges in NYC mayor’s race, with Boomers and Gen X leading the charge
The data so far is good news for independent candidate Andrew Cuomo, a political scientist said.

I don’t understand why we need a “Columbus Day” when this country celebrates incompetent white men failing up and taking what isn’t theirs all year round.

Doing an art market and seeing faces light up when they see tardigrades makes me really happy.
Introducing people to tardigrades at art markets also makes me really happy.

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

Do not look away. This is what devastation sounds like. I worked with some of USAID’s brightest, including many with disabilities, who built hope from nothing. That hope is shattered. The inhumanity of this regime is unforgivable.

One time I made a taxonomy of my favorite Star Trek series (DS9, Voyager, TNG) to see how often, and in what role, the species were represented.

Like I want to state this very bluntly, Jimmy Kimmel is being pilloried by fascists because he *played a clip of a thing that the president said to a journalist*
The whole joke is Kimmel playing the clip of Trump pivoting instantly to talking about the trucks and the ballroom lmfao…

Fascism is here. We are not “getting closer” or “in danger of.”
This matters because it frames our discussion: We aren’t trying to prevent it, we’re trying to defeat it. It’s not taking over our institutions, it’s taken them over.
Otherwise, we’re always behind, fighting a past we’ve already lost.
