Finally someone is saying this. It’s not just social media that led us here. Cable news and right-wing talk radio paved the way and continue to do damage.

I really can't stress how important it is for progressive and leftists to contend for school, library, water, etc etc boards. Hyper local involvement in our communities where we can actually influence lives.
Following the recent election, leadership will be changing in many districts where conservative values previously dominated school board meetings and community actions.

Voters shift school boards toward LGBTQ+ inclusion across PA and N.J. - Philadelphia Gay News
School boards in PA and NJ are shifting fast—LGBTQ+ leaders are winning, conservatives are losing, and policy battles are heating up.

The local election results I’m most excited about.
Ghazala Hashmi (D) has been elected Lt. Governor of Virginia, the first Muslim American to be elected to any statewide office at lieutenant governor and above.

Hearing this did my heart so much good. Power to the people. Last time I heard something like this was Obama’s first election.

Attacks on the federal workforce are also attacks on Black workers, who are overrepresented in the public sector.
Black unemployment is 7.5%. I'm reminded of Coates' observation that Black Americans regularly experience conditions that would be considered a crisis if whites faced them.

Before you ask Google, or Siri, or Alexa, take a moment to think about the data farms that are destroying towns, generating heat, and using all the water. Is it really worth all that to just ask how to make sloppy joes?

Zohran wants universal childcare for everyone in this city and I hear people who NEED this asking 'OK but how will he pay for this?' I'm like 'bitch I haven't heard your ridiculous ass ask ONCE how the city is paying 11 BILLION A YEAR FOR COPS.' NOT ONCE. So damn demagogued.

Everything about this is so incredibly and intentionally and horrifyingly dehumanizing.
I want you to understand this is happening in our name and we know most of these men committed no crimes. One is a professional soccer player who was tortured in Venezuela and was working through asylum in the U.S. ICE shipped him for his Real Madrid tattoo and a picture throwing rock & roll horns.

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990.
One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS.
