UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

I'll be at this one in downtown San Diego. Go to a protest near you on October 18

THIS.

It reeks of fear and desperation on their part.

No Kings As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

No Kings. October 18th. Free speech is action. Please join in.

I can’t not believe how hard it is to sleep when you’re watching your country, be dismantled by the dumbest people.

There are so many awful things about this, and it was horrifying to see footage from Twin Peaks. I can't imagine @markfrost.bsky.social is happy about this.

Gonna keep sharing this story till everyone has read about it and seen the video. This. Is. Not. Normal.

New from Susan Glasser, Evan Osnos & me at #politicalScene How Russell Vought Broke the U.S. Government- tune in!

Again and again this is the logic: Trump will suffer some vague harm if he is not allowed to destroy the lives of as many people as possible even before the case is decided. The human misery that predictably follows is of no consequence, requires no urgency.

Workers at Wafler Farms are fed up. They've been waiting for two years since they first voted for the UFW to get their contract, but all the company gives them is delays. Sign their petition demanding Wafler sign the contract now.

CALIFORNIA Yes on 50

Look at the state of our country. Look at the rigged maps. Look at the future Republicans are building. There are no more sidelines. There are no more easy answers. There is only the fight, or the fall.

Prop 50 is the fight. Vote YES.

Journalists should never have to fear government retaliation for reporting on government activity, and showing up to work shouldn't result in your family being torn apart.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

“If you call us fascists, we’re going to put you behind bars.”

Epic thread

I guess we have to give him credit for this but … Louis CK is your hero?

How to talk to your neighbor about ICE Uncover the conversation around ICE, federal workers, and social media commentary with Dave Jorgenson's provocative take on controversial recruitment tactics and viral content.

“But they’re all criminals for coming here illegally.”

Being undocumented in the United States is a civil infraction. If someone is undocumented, without having committed any other crimes, they’re not a criminal.

Here's important facts to combat ICE talking points:

It is! I really am working hard to stay objective in telling the news, truly. But if you’re a racist piece of shit then you’re a racist piece of shit.

I’m seething and it isn’t happening to me.

Thank you for this. It has felt like living in the Twilight Zone, so thank you for stating things so clearly and plainly.

Jesus Christ, how are you so unbelievably bad at this?

A deeply unpopular president is recklessly destroying our government, wrecking our democracy, covering up pedophilia and now threatening to use military force against our own citizens but you're tsk-tsking about protecting healthcare?

10/ Instead of centering men who missed the boat (and still don't seem to get it), let's lift up the work of Paulina Borsook, who saw it all very clearly and tried to warn us 25 years ago.

Someone should do a profile of her very interesting life. And hey, let's drop some cash into her GoFundme!
