We are not doing that. Check Swing Left, Indivisible, and the actions and statements of House reps in California, for example.. Check the many many national organizations filing suits. This may have been true six months ago but it's not true now.

Chicago, in freezing temps and snow.

Take heart people.

I hope that comment made you feel good because I am not seeing the use in it.

I acknowledge the part of black history where we stopped going there

I guess we have Chuck Schumer until 2029

now is the time to *learn to prioritize*

Go Sam, go!

We won’t stand for ICE inflicting chaos and cruelty in our communities.

ICE is not welcome in Long Beach & LA.

Maybe for the next two weeks I contact my senators, Chuck Schumer, and a couple of nearby purple state senators every day to reiterate this.

I'm sure there's an explanation that doesn't involve sickening racist narratives of black enslavement. I can't think of any, but I'm sure there is.

THEY DID IT. EVERY SENATE DEMOCRAT just voted on an amendment to DEFUND ICE (rescind the BBB slush fund that keeps ICE open during a shutdown.) This amendment failed, but it shows broad support! KEEP CALLING and make it a demand to vote for the DHS funding bill!!

Idly wondering if any of the ICE officers are non-citizens offered a path to citizenship for doing this "work."

Hellebore season!

This one is BRILLIANT. Legendary. One for the history books.

Schools all over the city, public and private, are walking out today.

Thread of truth

We usually talk about reactionary centrism as an elite-driven, hothouse social signaling phenomenon ("I am smart and savvy because I believe both sides are wrong, but the left is more wrong, always")

Reactionary leftism seems to me to be a similarly hot-house social phenomenon

arresting the press is flailing

when your toddler throws a tantrum because he can't go to the beach today, it's an expression of a failure of control

harm reduction is what we do now: how can you protect your neighbors? is the only question until impeachment or the 25th

after that it gets harder

Schitt's Creek memes have been an entire language for some of us, helping to create a world in which women's responses become true. At least that's how feels to me, given my online friends. This feels terribly, terribly sad. Like everything can break.

Me too

Very very sorry. It is by acts like this that we shoot ourselves in the feet.

The fascists have once again convinced leftists to divide ourselves into separate camps rather than unite to help put up a stronger resistance looks like.

For car culture cities, I was thinking bullhorns would work better than whistles maybe.

This is the ground truth.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Who's paying you, honey?

On the voter rolls will be, wait for it, people who voted! Unless Tulsi Gabbard arranges for some trickery and lies.

Ugh

Where is she getting the staff from???
