hell yeah mayor wu

it feels like the photos of dying children have finally broken through so what can we possibly do different next time to prevent people from falling into the loophole of "indiscriminately bombing and terrorizing a neighboring territory into decimation for years on end is a legitimate of self care"

unbelievably vile sentiment expressed here. if we really believe every life has equal worth (this administration doesn't), we in fact all have a duty to protect global health. it is morally indefensible that people die of aids in 2025 because they are poor and/or outside the u.s.

The @LemkinInstitute is calling on every leader in the world to step in immediately with measures that ensure food and water gets into Gaza right now. No more discussions, meetings, reports, sessions, summits. GET FOOD AND WATER INTO GAZA NOW. IF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU MUST USE IT.

Wow—the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention (named after Raphael Lemkin, a Holocaust survivor who coined the term genocide) says plainly:

"No more discussions, meetings, reports, sessions, summits…IF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU MUST USE IT."

"HISTORY WILL DETERMINE THE RECTITUDE OF YOUR ACTIONS."

Happy birthday Woody Guthrie, born on this date in 1912

do you ever think about how stupendously unnecessary it all is

“Prison phone calls have been shown to compel good behavior and rehabilitation. . . . Studies have also shown that communication with loved ones and strong family ties lead to decreased violence in prison and make people more likely to succeed and refrain from criminality after release.”

4 U.S. citizen children, with their mother, held in a detention facility for 2 WEEKS. Denied access to lawyers and even communication with family.

Disappeared. Held Incommunicado. No charges have been filed.

I am going to be so fascinated to read the post-mortem about how a revolt lead by tech billionaires lead to a gutting of both scientific research, university education and immigrant labor, all key prerequisites to the very existence of their industries.

Every American should read this ACLU lawsuit about what is happening in Los Angeles and California. It is the stuff of dystopian nightmares. This is not immigration enforcement. It is positively stuffed with videos and articles documenting racial profiling on a scale unseen since Jim Crow.

Pro-Israel website was used to find names of student protesters to investigate, senior ICE official says | CNN Politics “Most” of the names of student protesters Immigration and Customs Enforcement was asked to investigate earlier this year were plucked from a pro-Israel website that aims to blacklist pro-Palestinian s...

ICE has now admitted to using Canary Mission to identify students to detain.

The American Jewish community that Canary Mission claims to be defending (even though there are Jews on their list) needs to stand up as one and say: We reject Canary Mission. Not in our name. www.cnn.com/2025/07/09/p...

Are We About to Have Labor Camps in the United States of America? If you think that’s far-fetched, then you really haven’t been paying attention to what the Trump administration and Republicans in Congress have been up to lately.

If you listen to what Trump says, he definitely wants to create forced labor camps. newrepublic.com/article/1976...

taking this moment, between the terrible supreme court opinions, the concentration camps, and the bill in the senate, to go on tour of cable news to trash the dem nominee for mayor of nyc, and to do it while lying about him and peddling in obvious islamophobic rhetoric…it’s truly black pilling

also, and i say this as someone who thinks the original 8-color gilbert baker pride flag is the prettiest one, the 9-color lavender stripe version looks like shit. not preferable to the progress pride flag, at all

adding a black stripe to the rainbow flag for people lost to aids goes back to the 80s, and gilbert baker himself made a redesigned version in 2017 with a lavender stripe for diversity!

I think most Americans assume that there IS a legal path to citizenship that a lot of undocumented people simply don’t want to go through, and I think now people are discovering that there isn’t! And they think there should be.

I saw so many people talking about how Mamdani and Lander were clearly running because they love their city and want to make life better there, while Cuomo seems to hate and fear it, and that feels like the key piece of this campaign that could be replicable by progressives everywhere

"GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE"

Imagine if the Democratic Party actually helped Zohran instead of trying to kneecap him at every step. A better party is immediately possible if they stop shoving money into the anti-trans combination Racism Dial/Money Toilet and instead get behind candidates people actually want.

i hope the zohran-brad bromance is real and even more so i hope it saves nyc

for the record, we don't even live in new york

my mom turned on cbs news new york on pluto tv and now we're watching the local new york steve kornacki. and i'm feeling hopeful?

ICE Has Deported at Least 70 U.S. Citizens GAO confirms ICE deported U.S. citizens due to systemic failures — and the agency still doesn’t know how many more it’s wrongly targeting

Wow: ICE Has Deported at Least 70 U.S. Citizens

HISTORY II: THIS TIME IT'S FARCICAL™

no more war anywhere

my first ever cryptic clue that did not make me actively angry
