For me, the interesting part was the very beginning of the interview where she says that about believing in universal healthcare & progressive things. THAT is code for "Socialism for white people, Barbarism for the rest of the earth" like, don't be mistaken when fascists take on ideas from the left.

If the political opposition doesn’t put these ICE & CBP institutional criminals in prison, annihilate their budgets, purge the datasets and repeal their authorities, this will keep happening. And that opposition will reveal itself as a false, controlled opposition that is no less predatory on people

I know that sounds frivolous to some, but I think it's important that we not let the far right determine what heroism is for a generation of kids.

Parks and Rec isn't a hill to die on, but one thing it gets right is this whole government thing rests on the shoulders of people you will never know, caring a lot about jobs you've never heard of, fighting challenges thrown at them from every angle just to make life a little better for everyone.

It says that we can choke them out. We're everywhere. Normal people want to FIGHT and we will take every fucking chance we can find, if only people know what they can do. These elections are people saying "I am small but I will do anything I know that might stop them."

serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them

A damn daycare. This is sick. What are we doing?

Pritzker is the only real choice, in my mind. He's in one of the states most heavily under seige and he's still fighting, unlike Newsom. I know many people still interpret him as a coward and have their problems with him, but he has been the one to stand up to them the most. He's our only option.

There is a continuity here, in that whiteness has always acted as its own religion with its own set of practices and beliefs and within its own exclusivity.

However, this is also a departure from the Christian facade and is instead explicit worship of a living human being

When I worked in WaPo Opinions in 2017-2018, senior editors specifically told junior editors not to factcheck Marc Thiessen and other MAGA columnists, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to publish anything by them at all, and “we need them for intellectual diversity.”

ordinary americans are filming ice agents and trying to save their neighbors. for all the hemming and hawing during 2024 about how democracy was an elite concern, the elites gave up far more quickly than average people.

I'll never forgive or trust local police again for standing by & letting this happen. Fed agents or no, these thugs don't have the right to assault people these cops are sworn to protect & serve. At a minimum the "agents" should be arrested and prove they have the right to do what they are doing.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

lmao just one fucking second please

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

anyway for the record children have inalienable rights as humans that parents have no rights to infringe on, including the right to education, self-expression, health, and self-determination. if you disagree with this, then congrats, you have already accepted fascism on the small scale

It’s not simply important to denounce political violence because it looks bad not to. It’s the right thing to do on the merits. Even more specifically to this moment it’s important because the forces of fascism are inherently better at political violence than the forces of civic democracy.

Does she take commissions?
