Prison guards rushing to take jobs with ICE. Almost like all of this is connected. I wonder which people have been making this case for a few decades.

That very MUNDANE action that you don't take because you are too busy fantasizing about being a superhero instead would actually DO something for someone. Your fantasy does not.

Something that's extremely frustrating is the number of people who take people's political "beliefs" at face value. In fact, people are contradictory and also we lie about a lot because we need to save face.

Save the Date 10/4 for NYC Public Library Action Network's next People's Assembly. I hope that lots of New Yorkers will attend to learn more about how public libraries function in our city and to bring your voice to the future we want for these institutions. More soon with details about location.

Acknowledging that we are living under a fascist regime at the Federal level is essential for figuring out how to fight. And I'm sorry but burying one's head in the sand at this moment is actually allowing fascism to be further entrenched & authority more easily consolidated.

I hope one thing leftists all take away from Mamdani’s campaign though is that it doesn’t matter how chill and wholesome you are, the dinguses are going to smear and trash you in increasingly unhinged ways anyway, so you might as well shoot for the moon and campaign on what makes your heart sing

Responses to the NYC result along the lines of "oh in country x, a establishment mutant would win," are entirely missing the point: the establishment mutant was unexpectedly defeated here. They can be everywhere if your game is good enough, and the game here was very good. It's time.
