.@NYCMayor + @ebottcher: Your plans to demolish the landmarked Tony Dapolito Recreation Center are completely unacceptable! Use the $100+ million available to repair + reopen the Center, NOT demolish.

β€œNobody loved the library more than Dan.”

A meticulous list kept by Dan Pelzer from 1962-2025, cataloging all the books he borrowed and read from the Columbus Metropolitan Library, shared by his daughter.

I could not could not love this more.

β€œDo not get lost in a sea of despair,” Lewis tweeted almost exactly a year before his death. β€œDo not become bitter or hostile. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble. We will find a way to make a way out of no way.”

John Lewis

How ICE’s arrest of a high school student activated a Massachusetts town β€œWe’re trying to find ways the community can defend itself.”

If this town can mobilize, we all can. Fuck these UNAmerican assholes wearing masks, making arrests. Fuck the co-opted DOJ. Fuck the corrupt Supreme Court. Fuck the GOP and fuck Donald Trump - gravediggers of the Constitution. #NATIONOFIMMIGRANTS #MOTHEROFEXILES

The corrupt and illegitimate Supreme Court just allowed Herr Trump to dismantle the Department of Education. Are we great yet?

We need a accountability in justice one day. All these assholes and masks with no badges need to go before a judge and jury

β€œWe would not be overruling the parliamentarian,” Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska said. β€œWe would be supporting the interpretation of the chairman.”

The world view and stance of the anti-VAX people is built upon many layers of self reinforcing, debunked bullshit. This needs more than just solid information to counter with. They need to be deprogrammed and that’s not gonna happen.
