The reason you canโ€™t give a single inch on anything be it trans rights or dignity for unhoused people is that they, democrats and republicans alike, will take it and say thanks what else is in your pockets? They wonโ€™t say thanks actually.

Local zoning is the way! A lot of these are being stopped or stalled by neighborhood organizing.

These warehouses often need to be purchased, permitted, approved for occupancy and specs. Each one of those steps can be interrupted.

Ppl are pressuring corps not to sell, counties to deny permits, etc

Ending this operation is not enough.

We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

where are you the legacy of america's greatest soccer team is being ignored by its newest generation

A must read by @838carlisle.bsky.social who put into words what Iโ€™ve been feeling for months about USWNT. This team who has been so meaningful to me in the past is hard to root for right now with their current silence. Some things are bigger than footy.

The GOPโ€™s new Voter Suppression bill, the so-called โ€œSAVE Act,โ€ would disenfranchise many of the 69 million women who took their husbandsโ€™ last names, as explained in my summary.

It proposes *no penalties* for erroneous voter purges but potential *prison time* for erroneous registrations. WTF?! 1/

Catherine Oโ€™Hara Could Do Anything And she pretty much did everything. The only tragedy is that it feels like she was just beginning to get the recognition her decades-long career always deserved.

For The Ringer, I wrote about how amazing it was that the brilliant Catherine O'Hara finally became a superstar in her 60s, and how sad it is that she was taken from us just when we had all finally begun to appreciate her:

Thereโ€™s another game at 4.30pm โ€“ this one a little closer to home. The US womenโ€™s national team has built a proud reputation; an international powerhouse that advocates for progress and against violence. You wonder if theyโ€™ll find a way to acknowledge whatโ€™s happening in Minnesota, a state theyโ€™ve visited with increasing frequency since the opening of Allianz Field in Saint Paul.

There are no black armbands of quiet support from the team. Thereโ€™s no statement, or moment of silence, or acknowledgement before the national anthem. Even the gun lobby took time to criticize how Trumpโ€™s camp justified the killing by turning the victimโ€™s second amendment rights against him. So when the fourth goal goes in, and its scorer hustles toward the camera to try creating a viral celebration for social media, you decide you can catch up on the final 35 minutes later. You decide this even though itโ€™s the last meaningful soccer of the day, about a month before the domestic season kicks off in earnest.
