This is a great place to start. Casablanca came out in 1942. When they filmed this, they did not know how the war would end.

fortify yourselves and watch a piece of wwii-era propaganda a day tbh. if trump remains unchecked, we will be in a very similar situation very soon despite folks who would have us wait until he “leaves office”.
We have to all get ready to be even more tired unfortunately but I believe in us I really do

A judge just ruled EVERYONE picked up by ICE is entitled to a bond hearing in front of a judge – no more disappearing people into indefinite detention, for no reason. 👏 GOOD.

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.

I am legitimately not happy that MTG is getting death threats, and I also have to triage my concern and empathy these days so unfortunately there are a lot of people ahead of her in line and she helped put a lot of them there.

Zohran showed up for trans people this cycle. Not just literally showing up on TDOV, but making videos about our history, acknowledging the work that's still to do, and vocalizing actual support and policies to protect us.
This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

If you have decided to hold every Jew in the world responsible for the atrocities of one nation that’s bad enough, but to dismiss or celebrate the massacre of Jews in their place of worship on one of their holiest days you are an actual bigot and a monster.

i think a lot sometimes abt a friend who got super mad abt a work group chat asking folks if they wanted to volunteer for Bway Bares. They didn't know it was for Bway Cares, and when I told them, they were annoyed that bway cares 'only helps bway people'.

if you abandon trans people right now, you are abandoning civil rights period.

the thing about trans rights is that we fight the civil rights issues of our time. nazi chuds have made this the issue of our time.
it's not more *important* than other civil rights issues, but it is the battleground of the moment, and we have to meet the moment to support everyone's rights.

Centrists bigots and right wingers have this all backward. YOU are the ones constantly bringing up trans issues. I would be happy to not think about this shit every day of my life unless I was talking to or reading something by one of my trans friends and thought of it in passing. SHUT THE FUCK UP

if you're angry at bluesky for this you should know that the Mississippi law at the heart of this requires that websites implementing age verification track which users are children
do you think it's a good idea to have databases of trans children that are compellable by court order?

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.
While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

Yes, please listen to us. I’m here for utilizing his hatred of Trump for good. But no more than that. He should go no further than where he is.

We stopped expanding the House in the 1920s, decided the Supreme Court should freeze in the 1930s, added the last states in the 1950s, amended the Constitution only once in the last fifty years.
The USA and its government continued to grow, but almost all that growth came in the executive branch.

i really think the only reason we haven't created new states — which was a common political tactic in the 19th century, see nevada and the dakotas — is that 50 is a round number
