little library gallows humor for ya :'D

Anyway

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

“a party where we fight for working people with no apology!”

“I don't know what the hell happened to Putin,” Trump says.

Putin hasn’t changed. He has been attacking Ukraine and killing people here since 2014, he is still attacking and killing Ukrainians this morning, and he will continue to attack and kill them until he is made to stop.

How to Think (and Act) Like a Dissident Movement AOC, solidarity, and people power.

This piece from @jvl.bsky.social is one of the most important insightful I have read since January 20th 2025.

Your weekly civics roundup Upcoming ways to plug-in around D.C.

Now presenting: our revamped Civics Roundup! We worried this list of ways to get involved was getting lost at the bottom of our Thursday newsletter, so we’re giving it a new home on our site that we hope will make it easier to share.

"Let's not take the soul-sucking path of sacrificing the most persecuted for that which we deem to be most popular. I know that there are transgender children right now looking out at this world and wondering if anyone is going to stand up for them and for their simple right to exist. Well, I am."

AOC: We need to be taxing the rich on the floor of the Congress

We need to be establishing guaranteed healthcare on the floor of the Congress

AOC and Bernie in front of the rally crowd in Denver

Zoomed out crowd shot of 34,000 people in downtown Denver with Colorado mountains in the background

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

This is how it’s done.

honestly, not to bang on the drum of queer futurity, but there is a very distinct unique enby style that is being created at the moment in young queer spaces. like it is particularly obvious around dc where just by looking at someone’s clothing choices a lot of their politics is obvious
