the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

Gentle reminder that immigrants are more than their economic worth. Immigrants are more than their labor. Immigrants are more than their work ethic.
All these Trumpers are in for a hurting real bad once they feel how important immigrants are to the economy.
It's going to be immense pain. And you know what? The country did it to itself—the self-destructive power of white supremacy.

ok. that's all i've got.
today's democrats aren't who will liberate us in the end, but the folks nearest institutional power are the ones who can, while things are bad, most easily help hold up the falling sky & buy time.
this shit can be both "not enough" & "really matter."

Apparently it works like this: 1) when the GOP is the minority, Dems get nothing done because the minority is able to gum up the works; 2) When Dems are in the minority, they say they’re powerless to do anything but help the GOP majority pass their fascist agenda.

If you're in Illinois, you're on Section 8, and your landlord tries to evict you because of the government funding freeze, email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com. My cases are pay-whatever-you-can.
