All you have to do is to see how comfortable Newsom is in declaring that he is against a billionaire tax.

Everyone wants to make it painful to abuse the system, instead of building a system that someone doesn't NEED to abuse

What if we lived in a world where 'accommodations' weren't something provided on sufferance but simply made available to anyone who needs them for any reason without question. (Literally what my email sig says!)

be the bitch doing something yourself that you want to see in the world

test for it. get paxlovid.
prevent it. mask up.

Oops? Got that backwards.

The problem with ICE is not that it's targeting people who aren't criminals. The problem with ICE is that it's an unaccountable secret deportation police. It cannot be reformed under a better president. It can be made less terrible, but the instrument of repression remains for the next tyrant.

“Merrick garland will save us” will live with me as long as I live because it was always about pacification and never about actually stopping fascism.
Garland and others are as culpable for Trump 2 as any republican.

They chose to let Trump run again and destroy the country. Garland chose this.

Emmanuel, a 15-year-old with intellectual disabilities, wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand in October.

She reported him missing to Houston police. But instead of reuniting them, the city turned him over to ICE.

“They’re failing all of us,” his mom said.

Abolishing ICE is only the beginning. Have you looked at your local cops?

..

According to mappingpoliceviolence.us, police kill at least three people per day; from a meta analysis published in NYT, we now know the number could be six or even more.

This is one of those points as an academic and researcher who focuses on authoritarianism and fascism I don’t like to make but:when the leader of the fascist movement that holds the government starts posting about murdering their opposition specifically political opposition you are in massive danger

he tags at the end made me ACTIVITY out loud.

Florida grandfather, born in refugee camp, nabbed by ICE after 70 years in US His family worries his health is failing while he’s in custody and fears for his future.

He’s been denied his regular medication and a specialist visit for his back.

He fell out of his wheelchair and guards left him on the floor.

He told his family he’s covered in bruises.

This is a disability rights issue.

They’re further disabling a senior citizen.

He’s lived there over 70 years.

He has no passport or citizenship to another country.

Black text on a yellow background - This is Alice's friend Sandy Ho, posting. Per Alice's wishes, this message is being shared at the time of her passing. Hi everyone, it looks like I ran out of time. I have so many dreams that I wanted to fulfill and plans to create new stories for you. There are a few in progress that might come to fruition in a few years if things work out. I did not ever imagine I would live to this age and end up a writer, editor, activist, and more. As a kid riddled with insecurity and internalized ableism, I could not see a path forward. It was thanks to friendships and some great teachers who believed in me that I was able to fight my way out of miserable situations into a place where I finally felt comfortable in my skin. We need more stories about us and our culture. You all, we all, deserve the everything and more in such a hostile, ableist environment. Our wisdom is incisive and unflinching. I'm honored to be your ancestor and believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.

You were incredible, Alice Wong, and it was a blessing to have collaborated with you on projects, to have read your words and to have heard your voice, as full of life and passion and joy and rage as it was.

You made a difference—so much of a difference.

Rest always in peace, and always in power.

Quick point of clarification for pundits, politicians, journalists, & any others commenting on the Epstein Trump files:
The victims were NOT "young women". They were CHILDREN.
As such, they were not capable of giving legal consent. Sex without consent is rape.
Words matter. Get them right.

It's the same party. Stop pretending the Democrats and the Republicans are two different entities. They are both the system that runs the U.S. and it's a system that upholds white supremacy and corporate greed. Some of you are truly too smart to not get this and I'm starting to question your motive.

HELLO the "israeli" government is passing a bill that allows them to execute "terrorists" in prison.

they see EVERY PALESTINIAN or brown person as a "terrorist"

they are going to round people up, put them in camps and kill them.

we need to be louder about this.

What Really Happened in Portland Before Trump Deployed the National Guard In the two months before Trump's decision, criminal charges were announced against only three people. On nights when physical conflict did erupt, it often came from police.

Between July 5 & Sept 4 "Portland police announced no arrests of protesters."

Videos "show federal officers firing on, grabbing, shoving, pepper-spraying, tackling or using other munitions on protesters."
