Moments ago: tenants of the South Shore apartment building that federal immigration agents raided at the end of September held a presser to announce they're forming a tenants union.
They're demanding, among other things, sewage removal and heat and electricity restroration.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

The Epstein scandal is a symptom of a larger disease
The capture and corruption of American politics and institutions of power has created a criminal, abusive, and degenerate class of elites who believe they are untouchable and don’t care who they hurt

It's Rotten All the Way Down: Epstein, Trump, and the Twilight of the Elites

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.

I really appreciated this interview because it got me talking about how expectations shift when people immigrate. The idea of “good” is challenged. What does it mean to be a “good girl”?
"You’re a good girl if you follow the same path as your parents, if you have a career, get married, [and] have kids. But I was also contending with how that gets subverted when people immigrate."
