I honestly cannot believe there are people who view bathroom access as a luxury.

“Indiscriminate mass deportation that upends the rule of law and reduces people to trauma victims in a politically motivated drama is anti-Christian. It is contrary to Catholic social teaching that is rooted in the heart of our Gospels. It is evidence of Satan in our midst.”

I'm super anti-ChatGPT, but the repeated 'within that framework' seems pretty important. The model comes off like an unusually self-effacing humanities grad student here

NY Post headline: "Zohran Mamdani's election rivals have little chance -- even if they team up -- stunning new poll finds," by Craig McCarthy, published July 29, 2025

The Democratic Party did not abandon the working class. The WHITE working class abandoned the Democratic Party the day the Civil Rights Act passed in 1964 and never returned.

It's not a messaging problem. It's a fucking white people problem. Full stop. The end. Go collect your family.

This is correct and it's why public opinion doesn't actually do anything on its own. It has to be mobilized. You have to DO politics.

I’m in this area a lot lately and something I keep thinking about is, this is the ground this federal building was built on www.nps.gov/afbg/index.htm

a poster for a save 988 rally: SAVE 988 HANDS OFF LGBTQ+ SUICIDE HOTLINES RALLY JULY 12, 12:30 PM TRUMP TOWER - 725 51H AVE

A government that cuts funding to suicide hotlines is not a government that wants to keep its citizens alive. This regime will stop at nothing to erase our existence. Fight back!

This isn’t a bill, it’s a declaration of war

i wish i could be more helpful in this moment. i think i’m just paralyzed by everything we know is coming.

They are doing Defund The Police in reverse: Gutting the social safety net and giving unlimited power to a vast, violent gestapo to deal with the consequences.

In response to this news, United We Dream Action released the following statement: “The monstrous reconciliation bill is glaring proof that the ultra-rich’s greed will stop at nothing to amass wealth and power. Their violent assaults on our lives as working people have delivered a bill that will leave 17 million people without healthcare, 3 million without access to food, and millions more families under threat of being abducted and disappeared by ICE. Hospitals will be forced to shut their doors and families nationwide will foot the bill of higher food prices and skyrocketing utility costs while our taxpayer dollars go to massive for-profit ICE detention camps and torture prisons abroad. One thing that has been made clear this week: under this administration, immigrants and working class people are neglected, and worse, attacked with deadly policies. But we won’t back down from the fight for our lives and our livelihood. We power this country and every industry in it, from our farms and grocery stores, to our schools and hospitals. We must come together to build an impenetrable, multi-racial and working-class movement that refuses to give up grounds to their agenda of hate and division, because this is our country, not theirs.”

United We Dream Action: “Hospitals will be forced to shut their doors and families nationwide will foot the bill of higher food prices and skyrocketing utility costs while our taxpayer dollars go to massive for-profit ICE detention camps and torture prisons abroad.”

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

What Mike Johnson said was bullshit. What the framers intended, almost 100%, was perpetual genocide, slavery & apartheid. What we have today is in spite of those founders, not because of them. Johnson celebrates Confederate Memorial Day, glorifying genocide, slavery & apartheid.

@nychealthsystem.bsky.social gave my partner the care and referrals she needed super quickly, listened to her, and had these signs hanging on their walls. And their people are awesome. AND they can call a translator in multiple languages from a phone in any room without skipping a beat.

Major content warning re: the Holocaust, but so important to remember. The media covered the empty bunks and the official statements, not what was really happening inside.

happy pride month. that’s right. july is pride month too. in fact it’s pride year, bitches. the pride will continue until rights improve.

Snippet from CBS News on today’s NYC march route: "Security for NYC Pride 2025 Officials have announced stepped-up security citywide, despite no known threat. "'The 1.8-mile route will be secured with 10,000 metal barriers, sanitation trucks, NYPD vehicles ... as well as personnel from our emergency service unit, mounted unit, K-9, harbor, counterterrorism teams and more. Our helicopters and our drones will be deployed,' Tisch said."

The militarization of Pride is not making our community safer, especially those of us already disproportionately targeted by the police!
