The mom & pops were better, before BB ate all of them up. Part of the fun was all the movie (and game art) through the store. And of course, making a friend occasionally in your favorite movie section.

“When the Executive publicly announces its intent to break the law, and then executes on that promise, it is the Judiciary’s duty to check that lawlessness, not expedite it.”

-Justice Sonia Sotomayor

Recently, my book THEY CALLED US ENEMY was banned – again – in Tennessee. Book bans are out of control. Huge parts of American history are being restricted.

WTF we have antibiotics for that these days???

Republicans just passed “the worst bill in modern American history” It takes from the poorest and gives to the richest—among other things.

Just in time for the nation’s birthday, House Republicans have passed the most regressive legislation in recent memory.

Legal critics have called it “the worst bill in modern American history.” Why? 🧵

Oh indeed, I believe THEM - but these numbers will never get reported by legacy media, and they'll do everything they can do create their own shit polls with numbers designed to lick Trump's ass. I WISH they'd blast THIS video on the news channels every 15 minutes.

*poll numbers from MSM, I should have said

Oh god, I know it. I just can't even believe the poll numbers anymore - perhaps I'm being naïve, but I believe the numbers are being messed with and that he's truly unpopular. Even Fox can't totally hide how damaging and unpopular the policies have been. Everything is fucking nuts.

No, you need to do whatever it takes to drag this country out of the hands of a pile of fascist traitors. And do literally nothing else until you accomplish that.

Here's what boils my ass: literal millions (more than 12 million to be exact) ARE protesting, writing opinion pieces, urging MOCs to do the right thing, providing mutual aid & HAVE BEEN...was it like that in Germany? Were there tons of ppl railing against it that were just rolled over anyway?

Infographic on 'Autogenocide', illustrating factors like lack of healthcare, poverty, and toxic environment leading to self-inflicted harm.

It's called autogenocide, the goal is to coerce a population into killing themselves and/ or die by design. When MAGA and Trump strip people of their healthcare or safety nets, they aren't thinking about saving money they're thinking about how many of us they can exterminate. #3E #EndAutogenocide

I can't tell if it's because I'm too NYC focused but does it feel like the news cycle spent more time crashing out on the fact that NYC picked a brown Muslim dude as is primary candidate then it did on a right wing extremist who shot 2 Minnesota legislators killing one, her husband and dog?

Sotomayor says it all in her dissent

This sentence, typed in her dissent, should scare the living fuck out of everyone in this country.

"This Supreme Court is an existential threat to the rule of law."

– Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson

Hungary banned Pride events. Thousands marched anyway. Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said those who attended should face “legal consequences.”

Budapest's streets overflowed with Pride marchers on Saturday, despite the Orban regime's threats of legal consequences. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Iranian woman, who has lived in US for 47 years, taken by Ice while gardening Madonna ‘Donna’ Kashanian, 64, was taken by plainclothes officers from her home in New Orleans

GROTESQUE AND INHUMANE ‼️ Totally inconsistent with what I consider to be American values ‼️

True, sadly.

Zohran Mamdani is saying things like “poverty is a policy choice and politicians have a duty to their constituents to make their lives affordable” and it is making a lot of politicians very very scared that they may actually have to start doing some actual service in their public service jobs.

Don't you mean 'the boys in NatSec'?

Carrie, for heaven's sake, I'm going to put on 100 pounds if you keep this up.

I tried the fried polenta with honey & blue cheese recipe that you posted, btw, and it's absolutely STUNNING (and pretty easy).

‘Big Balls’ Is Now at the Social Security Administration Edward “Big Balls” Coristine’s placement at the SSA comes after a White House official told WIRED on Tuesday that the 19-year-old had resigned from his position in government.

So, 19-year-old man-child Big Balls just scored a job with the agency I work for.
And I just threw up in my mouth. 🤢

You know, Europe has lots of Democratic Socialists in their parliaments. Oh and free national healthcare.

Agreed there, for sure.

Yes, dear: they are going to lie about everything. If something works well, they are going to break it THEN lie about it. It's intentional.

Really? Because I think it's pretty irresponsible to suggest that anyone put themselves at risk of being detained and sent to CECOT for a journalist's panel when it can be held on Zoom, but I guess that's just me.

I don't blame you, and I hope you let the organizers know why you declined.

@aflcio.org THEN HELP US ORGANIZE A NATIONWIDE #GENERALSTRIKE

WOW. That's dedication! I will have to keep my eyes on him. Thank you for taking the time to enlighten me.

Wow - this video. It really is just the same everywhere - I hope this guy lives up to his words. We have plenty here who say the right things but accept the wrong money and make the wrong votes.

AYYYYY Some good news! I love to see it!! I hope to see Puerto Rican freedom in our lifetime!
