The mayor of NYC could also unleash daily sanitation, building & restaurant inspections on all Trump properties & see to it that the streets in front of them are dug up for noisy underground repairs taking months or years to complete so he's got at least an arrow or two of retaliation in his quiver

When we moved to CT and I started driving my husband teased me for referring routes as "taking the 6 to the 384" instead of "6 to 384;" in yesterday's conversation with my cabbie I realized it's because I'm a fucking New Yorker. You take THE A to THE L, and if you say "take N to 6" you sound insane.

Please understand that "reward people for being healthy", in health insurance, also translates to "punish people for being disabled."
The people who are most vulnerable, most in need, will be asked to bear higher costs, in many cases, pricing them out of accessing health care, into early graves.

Directly stopping ICE in the streets is the most crucial work happening in the US right now, imho. That kind of mass solidarity can pull together the broader anti-fascist movement to take down the regime, including by pushing liberals and institutions towards effective opposition.

What I do know is that AI is not your fucking game and it's not mine. You see your slop-gobbling VP going one way, you go the other way. You hear me? The LLM-lubbers go one way, you go the other way. Hell, the hard part's done: you already know you don't want to live an AI-inflected life. A whole lot of people out there don't realize that yet, and for some of them the knowledge will only come after a great deal of pain, but you know what you must do. Write a novel, write a poem, scribble them on printer paper when your VP isn't looking if you have to. Get flowers for your desk and frames for your photos, write longhand in a diary every day. Buy a secondhand DVD player and secondhand DVDs. Smell a library, pull faces at a baby, splash cold water on your face. Call your friends on the phone even though it sucks and everyone hates it because texts and DMs suck more, just nobody realizes it yet. Pay for more things with cash and drop the change in a desperate man's paper cup. Cook enough of every meal to share with your neighbors, especially the unhoused ones. Sing Biz Markie's "Just a Friend" at karaoke because it's fun and everybody loves it. Live a life out in the real, palpable world that you can be a little proud of; refuse assaults on its dignity. You can only do what you can do, and life will feel wonderful again once you truly get thatβfuck, I'm tearing up, believe me, it will shock you how wonderful life still feels. And the rest, again, is not your game.

We all need to say this very clearly:

There's a very obvious double standard at work here, where we get JAQing off FUD about Biden's mental health, the mere existence of transgender people, Clinton's email habits, trans people again, Mamdani's college app, more about trans people, but impenetrable "standards" for anything else.

We formed in 2020 & began paying out immigration bonds for IL, IN, WI, and KY.
outside of individual donations to gofundmes and such, one helpful destination for your money right now is this bond fund. everyone being released from broadview needs to pay $1500 bond, which is obviously insane. it's going to cost like $925k to successfully spring 615 people linktr.ee/mw_bondfund
