I have been actively watching contracts and surge funding over the last few days and what I would say to my friends in Baltimore is “be absolutely ready, right now.”
ICE poised to ramp up raids in Baltimore by Thanksgiving
The Trump administration has rush-ordered infrastructure to conduct raids, abduct residents, and detain people for months.

I hope Zohran continues working with Jewish groups like @jfrejnyc.bsky.social that share his vision and empathy, and will continue ignoring hateful, Nazi-defending demagogues like Greenblatt who work to destroy the lives of all people who oppose genocide.
After hinting at it on the air, Joe Scarborough told reporters today that he is trying to arrange a "peacemaking lunch" between Jonathan Greenblatt and Zohran Mamdani -- which would include him and Al Sharpton.

I've always loved this song's line about the doctor giving you "a humbug pill, a dose of dope, and a great big bill" BUT it should make you reflect on how bad things are now: the humbug pill and the great big bill are still here, but dope is really hard to score from a doctor

When you see Prince Andrew's post on here (I'm blocked) asking for mutual aid, REMEMBER: not only is he a close associate of Jeffrey Epstein, but he kept the $300 he raised and said he was giving to Food Not Bombs to make spaghetti squash. He is a phony comrade and a wrecker

The New Bathroom Policy at English High School by Martin Espada (1990)
The boys chatter Spanish
from the bathroom
while the principal
listens from his stall
The only word he recognizes
is his own name
and this constipates him
So he decides
to ban Spanish
from the bathrooms
Now he can relax
