I just discovered Isabella Weber and preordered her book. Very cool that she is hanging with AOC.

Wow.

Funding for and overt violence by ICE is exponentially higher now. And border patrol has a long standing more covert history of violence which included sexual violence the withholding of medical care. We can’t pretend the system was just fine before Trump.

"Senate of Virginia Passes SB1 to Raise Minimum Wage to $15 Per Hour RICHMOND, V.A. – Today, the Senate of Virginia passed SB 1, legislation that will raise the Commonwealth’s minimum wage to $15 per hour by 2028 and ensure future increases keep pace with inflation. This bill passed on a vote on 20-19, supported by all present Democratic members of the Senate of Virginia. “For too long, Virginia’s workers have been asked to do more while earning less in real dollars,” said Senator L. Louise Lucas, Senate President Pro Tempore and Chair of Senate Finance and Appropriations. She continues, “That ends now. If you work full time in the Commonwealth of Virginia, you deserve a wage you can actually live on. SB 1 makes it clear: we value work, and we’re going to pay for it. This bill provides a clear path to $15 an hour, giving Virginians the raise they deserve while giving businesses time to plan. By aligning future wage increases to inflation, we’re making sure wages never fall behind again.” Virginia Senate Democrats are focused on affordability and building an economy that works for working people, not just corporations and the well-connected, even in a very difficult budget year. This is about fairness, dignity, and making sure Virginia’s economy works for everyone. SB 1 is now headed to the Virginia House of Delegates for consideration."

Starmer is a Trump lackey but he is not a typical European leader. We have seen plenty of video of eyes rolling and lackluster applause when Trump or his henchmen have addressed European leadership. Wasn’t Carney’s speech well received?

Which European leaders applauded this imperialist clap trap?

Nick Fuentes: “The number one political enemy in America is women. … They have to be imprisoned.”

I’m not sure they need translators as their messages are crystal clear. Fuentes wants to send women to the gulags. They are building concentration camps for immigrants in the US. What does need translating in the US is their legislation which insidiously hides their agenda.

Nick Fuentes: “The number one political enemy in America is women. … They have to be imprisoned.”

Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”

Thank you Jamie.

We have been reluctant to admit these men conspire with each other. After Pelicot the group of 60,000 men sharing tip and tricks online to sedate and then sexually assault, and now the Epstein revelations. Male entitlement to the bodies of women and children has gone unchallenged.

Thank you to all the monks who walked from Texas to Washington DC for peace:

Epstein was a fan of James Dobson of Focus on the Family. It’s important to understand that messaging from evangelical parenting “experts” provides justification for child abuse and pedophiles appreciate the green light:

The existence of violent, misogynists isn’t new and has no bearing on how “reasonable or feasible” it is to pursue gender equality. This sounds like reactionary centrism.

Are you saying women have to wait for male supremacists to want to give up power? In the history of world, how often did a more powerful group decide they were ok with sharing?

“I Have Been Here Too Long”: Read Letters from the Children Detained at ICE’s Dilley Facility Hundreds of children are currently being held with their parents at an immigration detention center in Dilley, Texas. In letters and drawings, eight kids convey the pain of feeling trapped with no end...

So now photographic IDs instead of proof of citizenship. They are hoping Dems will vote for this. Every Blue, city, town or county can produce photographic IDs fairly quickly. Guess what else? IDs reduce homelessness-with an ID it is possible to rent a PO Box and find a job.

Hi there Julie, where did you find this? Looks like a photo because it’s a bit blurry. My eyes don’t work well enough to read it.

This morning there was an ICE presence on McKinley street but then over 20 neighbors responded right away with their whistles and cameras and ICE left. This follows over a dozen ICE agents breaking into an apartment on Franklin Ave at 6 am this morning without presenting a warrant.

Older women need to do a better job of amplifying the voices of younger women within the resistance. I have witnessed some power hoarding and silencing of younger women by older women and it saddens me. We need to do better.

All about "reactionary centrism" Michael Hobbes joins me to diagnose the pundit class's obsession with scolding the left while the right burns down the house.

Reactionary centrists are responsible for the ratchet that keeps moving us further to the right:

It’s ethnic cleansing not ethnic violence.
