Ladies, you do not need to get pregnant or become a tradwife. You need to unionize your workplace.

1. This is stolen land. We have no moral right to exclude anyone.
2. "Illegal immigration" is a product of 20th century racism; your forebears came "legally" because there was no such thing as "illegal immigration" then.
3. Open borders are good. Borders are racist and colonial violence.

It was always obvious that the Biden White House-- which had openly discussed charging Putin with war crimes and genocide over Ukraine-- privately discussed Israel's genocidal intent in 2023/24 and decided to lie about it. The belated confirmation is still important.

My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know they’re all your people."
In Chicago, We Run Toward Danger Together
"Faced with unrelenting state violence, Chicagoans have refused to be cowed," says Mariame Kaba.

She continues to list off the virtues of Chicagolanders, including the actions of rapid responders and prayer groups to support immigrant neighbors.

This is why they’re seriously discussing cutting the library budget.
This is why our schools are underfunded.
This is why we can’t #PlowTheSidewalks
Crime is down, way down, but the police are defunding our city.
There is no rational way to justify this. It must end.

The Chicago Police Department spent more than its City Council-approved budget in five of the last six years, costing Chicago taxpayers more than $501.2 million in unanticipated expenses, records show.

Jokes aside, I think the big reason this feels so good right now is that we're fighting so fucking hard on a small scale (whistles, mutual aid, protests, etc) and something large scale succeeding feels really motivating.

A very young woman who did nothing wrong and showed uncommon self-respect in refusing to let Andrew Cuomo sexually harass her. He made her life hell for it. I hope she feels vindicated by the sound and unambiguous electoral rejection of that scumbag.

So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.

Dick Cheney lied about WMDs in Iraq because the war would make him even richer. He caused the death of hundreds of thousands of people and destabilized the entire region.
