Call It Like It Is: An ICE Agent Murdered an American Citizen In Cold Blood
She wasn't a threat, she wasn't an activist, she didn't hit him with her car. He just murdered her in the street

I can’t emphasize enough how shocked my out of state friends and family are when I tell them what has happened in Minneapolis since Renee Good’s murder.

Without reliable media, most not-chronically-online people are completely in the dark. If you want to help Minnesota, tell people what you know.

KO'ing everyone's 401k the week they started bragging about murdering citizens in the street on camera is the behavior of people who are on actual drugs. Not metaphorically, it's the behavior of people with underlying mental illness on uppers and steroids who are starting to feel cornered.

We may wish it were a thing of the past, but it isn't.

Colonialism is alive and well, and people are suffering for the sake of greed.

Wishing everyone Merry Christmas, and happy holidays!

For those of you who (like me) practice a different religion than Christianity, I hope your day is a good one!

For those who feel like hearing 'happy holidays' is a personal attack, this one's for you.

Life with sensory issues is not easy. Just getting through the daily business of work, grocery shopping and getting around is a nightmare.

The world isn't built for autistic people like me. In some cases, it feels outright hostile.

I swear, I thought this must be from The Onion when I first saw it. I assumed it had to be satire.

Is he serious? Did somebody give his dementia-addled ass a book report on the Hunger Games and he decided he must be President Snow?

Patriot Games? REALLY?!

This holiday season, there are a lot of families broken by political division.

Some people have been forced to cut people off, unable to stand listening to hate over dinner any longer.

Don't feel guilty if you've hit your breaking point with MAGA relatives this year.

Who defines what "normal" is supposed to mean?

And why on Earth should we let them?

Living authentically as yourself, so long as you aren't hurting anyone else, is something that you should be able to celebrate. Never hide who you are to make other people happy.

"As ICE officers continue to arrest the most violent criminals nationwide"

Any news article, that uses these words isn't a serious news source.

They are arresting innocent people left and right to meet quotas, and they are getting violent ones by accident.

Re-read that last line twice.

It's so easy to demonize the people living under a government that's doing something evil.

It's easy to say, for example, that all Russians are terrible people who fully support Putin.

The truth tends to be more nuanced than that.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.

We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

So, now Trump is boycotting the fucking G20 summit because of his bullshit 'white genocide' conspiracy?

Well, talk about secondhand embarrassment. Let me just remind you of his last meeting with South Africa's President...

Trump's horrible policies are screwing Americans over.

Between tariffs, SNAP cuts and the rising cost of living, food deserts continue to expand. Low-income Americans are getting the short end of the sharpened stick.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.
