A judge blocked Musk staffers from accessing Social Security data, but of course, they’ve ignored those orders. We warned this was happening: Musk operatives have been marking individuals in the Social Security system as dead in an effort to pressure immigrants to self-deport.

The thing about racism is that a lot of people are okay with it until you call it out, meaning there is a functional comfort with someone else being treated like shit so long as it doesn’t mess up your situation.
When we say collective liberation means giving up comforts, that would be one of them.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position.
You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

It’s going to be quite a hearing before Judge Ho tomorrow on the DOJ‘s motion to dismiss the atom’s case. When the judge asks Ed Sullivan, who stepped up and agreed to sign the motion, why he did so, you can bet that he’s going to tell the truth and cite Bove’s strong arming. No reason to lie.

A lot of locals were very surprised to get the notice from the senior center that they just lost a huge chunk of their meals on wheels funding. As this shit starts hitting people closer to home it’s going to be pretty radicalizing! I had a lot of raging grannies (complimentary) blowing up my phone.

True story: a few years ago, I was being interviewed by a reporter for the New York Times. I mentioned the history of eviction statutes and how they tied into Jim Crow.
The reporter asked "what's Jim Crow?"
When I explained, the reporter didn't believe me and said the US wouldn't do that.
