My latest.

I've been quiet recently, I know.

A lot of people have said that getting fired from the Washington Post is a "badge of honor".

It's....complicated.

Alderman Sigcho-Lopez was right to call out Pritzker today about the state police arresting protesters. Pritzker responded that the state police are protecting protesters, and that just isn't true. State cops have arrested and brutalized protesters to facilitate ICE operations. That's reality.

Ds’ propensity to force losses from the brink of successes is preternatural
No mistake- Repugnantcans are out & out heinous & fully the cause of this horror show
But Dem”oh crap!”s cannot save us, they cannot save themselves for screwing shit up

The entire scene looks like Norman Rockwell painted The Death of Empathy, directed by Jeffrey Dahmer and executive produced by Satan. Hang this next to The Scream and the painting would lean over and whisper, Is that guy okay.

More of Bozos’ storytelling from what used to be a place for actual journalism. Leaving out the parts he doesn’t like.
A 2020 study found that Amazon—which shares owner Jeff Bezos with The Washington Post—is one of the largest employers of people on SNAP.
As SNAP funds froze, mayors and governors have pledged to supplement the missing federal assistance, while federal judges ruled Friday that the Trump administration should use contingency funds to keep food aid running despite the government shutdown.

Mainers have until tomorrow to reject a voter suppression effort pushed by Leonard Leo’s money and the unrelentingly deceitful Yes on 1 campaign.

Vote No on 1 and help get out the vote. #mepolitics open.substack.com/pub/amyfried...
Misinformation in Maine’s Voter Suppression Referendum Began with a Deceptive Title
Petition tactics hid absentee ballot limits. Question 1 proponents then used Newburgh ballots to mislead further.

I’m the first congressional candidate to be indicted under the second Trump administration.

But if things keep going the way they are, I won’t be the last.

This is clear political prosecution and government overreach meant to scare protestors by going after resistance leaders and political candidates.

Kat Abughazaleh must not be imprisoned for fighting against the President’s fascism.
I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Intersex health, dignity, and consent have never been optional.

Everyone, including those with variations in their sex traits, deserves affirming, knowledgeable healthcare and the right to make decisions for their own bodies.

democrats of all stripes should be rallying around kat abughazaleh asap. it doesnt matter where you stand ideologically. trying to jail dissenters is fundamentally unamerican and 100% fascist. democratic leaders at all levels should be making noise about it. you dont need a poll or focus group.
