Sure, ignore them. And if they don’t shoot/kill you, maybe you’ll end up charged with domestic terrorism. Even if you get out eventually, you likely will have incurred big expenses and perhaps lost your job. Before people take your facile advice, they should know what the risks really

Yes. I’ve been told I’m not able to fight fascism if I can’t tolerate “the belly of the beast.” I am not polite in responding.

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

Civil fines and contempt findings will not matter a whit.

And no doubt, administration officials are gleeful about hitting a school of young girls.

What the genocide in Gaza reinforced is that there are no "civilians" when it comes to Israel and the United States. The rest of the world learned the same lesson and the consequences are going to be felt across the world.

Mamdani Is Getting Snowballed by His Own NYPD The situation is absurd. The stakes are real.

Just underneath the absurdity lies one of the most volatile fault lines in city politics: The rift between elected government on the one hand, and the political power of the NYPD and the constellation of interests with which it is aligned on the other.

Our federal government killed a disabled genocide survivor and is covering up for a child rapist. And that is just today’s news. It is just unconscionable to be treating this as normal or acceptable in any way.

To do this, anti-trans lawmakers in Kansas moved fast to change the law, overrode the governor’s veto, and pushed for the legal changes to go into effect nearly immediately. That kind of power—to void gender on official documents, to compel gender conformity—is terrifying and it will not stop here.
