Sign denoting Cooper Do-nuts / Nancy Valverde Square in downtown L.A.

Valverde was active in downtown L.A.’s queer scene and frequented Cooper Do-nuts, where LGBTQ+ customers fought back against police harassment in 1959. In 2023, L.A. named the intersection of Main and 2 Streets as “Cooper Do-nuts/Nancy Valverde Square,” its first public monument to a lesbian. /end

Also, I guess it's now becoming a state crime to...describe reality?

It’s happening. The takedown of Jimmy Kimmel is likely the start of a campaign to use the murder of Charlie Kirk as a pretext to use the power of the White House to wipe out Trump’s critics and his political opponents.

But we aren’t powerless. We can mobilize and organize. Now.

As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.

John Fetterman- stop crying and RESlGN.

If you don’t want to do your job, then f**king quit.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance.

Democracy requires your courage.

The Court of King Trump How a President Turns Petitioners into Subjects — and America into a Palace of Favor and Fear

Powerful CEOs groveling for favors. A throne room disguised as the Oval Office. America was built to escape monarchy — but here we are.

And we're just getting started.

Remove the Olympics & World Cup from US

Remove the Olympics & World Cup from US, it is not safe for visitors. When you travel to the US you risk arbitrary arrest and abduction, random acts of extreme firearm violence and terrorism, unknown pathogens and disease, and discrimination or xenophobic attacks.

If anyone you know in ICE tells you they’re “just following orders” remind them of the following:

- they can read

- they’re aware of the SCOTUS ruling and numerous injunctions around the illegality of what they’re doing

- feigning ignorance will not soften their place in history…or in America.

I would not have predicted that large universities would show more courage than either Big Law or corporate media. Good for them.

Friday night Tequila Tweet: Fuck any American President who finds out an innocent man was mistakingly deported to an El Salvador prison and doesn’t IMMEDIATELY demand that man be IMMEDIATELY returned to America. And btw, fuck any American President who’s ok with deporting ANYONE without due process.

WOW — Heather Cox Richardson and Jasmine Crockett together?!🔥

Trump started implementing Project 2025 on his first day back in office. I can't imagine two more informed and empowering women to show us how to fight it. I just signed up — join me! social.redwine.blue/s/XvrLtEcz

YouTube video by WKBN27 Tim Walz hosts town hall in Youngstown

2800 people turned out in Youngstown Ohio last night for a town hall with Democratic Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.

Local GOP congressman Michael Rulli won't do events like this with his constituents, so Democrats are doing so in his district:

incredible video of over 20,000 folks marching down peachtree to the georgia state capitol

This graphic is very useful. Only share information that is actionable. Rumors only clog the feed and increase our anxiety.

They’re takin’ it to the streets.

OMG

Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me.

There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine.

The trade deficit argument SOUNDS compelling, but it’s a straw man with no relevancy

#TeslaTakedown is happening now. Elon is whining . Our efforts are getting to him. Don’t let up.

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

Folks, the Republicans just got smoked in an off-cycle statewide election in **Louisiana.**

Elon’s back at it—trying to buy Wisconsin’s Supreme Court like he tried the presidency in PA. Mallory McMorrow exposes how he pulled this stunt in Michigan too.

@mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social is exactly the kind of voice we need in the US Senate. The last thing Musk wants is a fighter like her in DC.
