Becoming Notorious in the Dirty T!
🚨 It being Pride Month, the right wing propaganda-sphere is advocating for rolling back all gay rights. Remember a super majority of Americans support gay rights & gay marriage. They're trying to take us back over a decade and are revealing themselves to more moderate voters as fashies.

What we've seen at Delaney Hall, beyond the stifling of free speech, is a mismanagement of public resources, primarily by NJ Governor Mikie Sherrill. The state of New Jersey is spending $100k per day to temporarily chase protestors away for them to return the next day. It's asinine.

The response to protests at Delaney Hall could cause the opposite effect that NJ Governor Mikie Sherrill expects. By obstructing long term peaceful protests, it's more likely to have situations that get hot fast and burn bright. We shall see.

Wages are not keeping up with skyrocketing inflation. Prices are going up on everything from rent, to groceries, gas, utilities and more. This is a cost-of-living crisis. We can start providing some relief by giving workers a raise NOW.

There is no clearer case for the necessity of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 than how quickly southern states moved to eliminate Black-majority districts and dilute Black power after SCOTUS eroded Section 2. SCOTUS’s reasoning was immediately disproven by reality.

These state legislatures are about to learn a hard lesson in how what the south was and what it is now are two different things. They can rig districts, but they can't rig what happens when the opposition utilizes direct action to oppose them.

Going by right wing media they seem convinced that there's SPLC informants in every RW group in America. That sentiment should be encouraged by the left. It disrupts their ability to organize anything bigger than a group chat. They're neutered by their own paranoia.

The SPLC indictment is doing more to divide the right than to intimidate the left. They're shackling people on their own side for allegedly being paid informants. The message is that they can't trust anybody. That alone should make people send the SPLC more donations.
