The NAACP released a statement Thursday, writing that Congress “has the ability to reverse the ruling to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for people from Haiti and Syria and should immediately pass a permanent pathway to citizenship for TPS holders.” #BlackskyNews

This is not rhetorical. It is an actual thing with publicly available receipts. One of the clearest examples is PACs that have the same funders creating special PACs that are exact same things as their other PACs but with the word "progressive" or "Democrat" in the name.

I love bringing out this anecdote about Rahm: bsky.app/profile/refr...

AHHHHHHHH!!! SPACE PIRATES!!! 💜🏴‍☠️🚀👾⚔️

I wish the Illinois primaries had been after New York's. Maybe it would have given our voters the courage to buck the Machine.

Asylum is a human right. This regime must end. The Democratic establishment is more interested in fighting progressives than Nazis. They all need to get replaced, Mamdani-style. Keep the wave going.

We need rent control in Illinois including a rent freeze for at least several years so that we cancel out the massive rent gouging that is still left over from the peak pandemic years.

Mom continues to make the ridiculous claim that I make better food than Grandma. Still, glad she enjoys my cooking so much. Leczo - Hungarian pepper stew

As someone who was transnationally & transracially adopted, I continue to be outraged & heartbroken for ACB's adopted children from Haiti. And like so many of us adoptees, these kids will learn one day and understand how she allowed this harassment of their people. I'm sending the kids so much love.

It'll be 108 F in Sunday in Berlin. There isn't air conditioning almost anywhere outside of some shops and libraries. As a chronically ill person, it's quite scary, especially given the attitude that my/other disabled body/ies' inability to handle that level of extreme temps, lack of support for us.

This is all beyond backwards. We need a full assessment of the treatment needs here and to make sure those are being met fully before a single penny is spent on ANYTHING else.

Opposition to a universal basic income on the grounds that it "removes meaning in life" is a failure to understand what it means to be human. UBI restores meaning to millions who've had it stripped away. It guarantees full opportunity to participate in society.

We gotta do more than expand the court two years from now. Congress can impeach corrupt justices and strip jurisdiction. It is time to step up and reboot democracy.

Racist Announces He's Not Ashamed of Racism

Trump Officials: "We are gutter racists who believe non-white people are racially inferior to whites. We have said publicly that non-white immigrants dilute the racial purity of our nation and thus we do not want non-white immigrants here. This is *entirely* about race." Sam Alito: "But *is* it?"

Congress must strike down virtually every SCOTUS decision of the Roberts Court. Roberts and Thomas are both proven to be corrupt and must be impeached.

To put a finer point on it, Mamdani has a conflicting hierarchy of obligations, and this is a value judgment. Why should his campaign promises to voters be treated as aspirational and symbolic while his early assurances to hostile governing partners are treated as binding?

Let's hope so. Israel must be dismantled and replaced with a true democracy that upholds the human and civil rights of all people.

There is nothing you can claim that ICE is accomplishing that is worth having a domestic paramilitary force that can be deployed by a president in order to disrupt elections. Abolish ICE.

A widespread, media-promoted delusion suggests that billionaires excel at intelligence, creativity, and initiative. Nope. They're just sociopaths with one nasty superpower -> unhindered by conscience, they can shamelessly manipulate, coerce, & exploit other humans to become rich.

The DOJ memo against home care services for people with disabilities cites an increase in homelessness after Olmstead v. LC. But it cites no evidence in the opinion demonstrating that Olmstead increased homelessness

Oh damn. 😆 Just out here spitting truth all day like that.

Two ICE agents tracked down a woman *inside a polling place* yesterday. Why? They demanded that she take down an Instagram post in which she named Jonathan Ross as the man who shot & killed Renee Good (after the Star Tribune identified Ross). www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

🎉 Don't let the door hit you on the way out, neoliberal scum. 🎉

*massages forehead* There are no far-left politicians in America. These democratic socialists are center-left. America is just SO far to the right, that people wanting human rights upheld even a little are farther left than the Democratic Party establishment. The Dems are center-right *at best*.

you can’t fundraise off the danger posed to democracy when you’re being outflanked democratically

"According to Community Vision's database, just 0.3% of housing across Oregon is accessible to people with disabilities, while about a quarter of Oregonians live with some form of disability." I have yet to find anywhere where affordable accessible housing is even above 1% of current housing stock.

I know the ratio on this is already ridiculous but I was still thinking about it when I got up this morning. We're not your resources. We're not your volunteers. You're the ones constantly asking for OUR money even though most of us have so little. We'll keep primarying anyone who doesn't get that

How to know white supremacy invests all its bigotry through "property rights". Sadly, most of DSA don't understand the dynamics of marginalized politics & property enough to have strong enough policies to break it down. Or, to put it another way, stop threatening me with a good time, New York Post.

Memo to 'centrist' Democrats and pundits losing their minds over upset progressive House primary wins in navy blue NYC districts. You can't be saying "No Kings" in the streets when, behind locked doors, you're treating legislatures like they're hereditary fiefdoms gifted to loyal party vassals.

Maybe, just maybe, Democrats should act like they want to govern in a country where Social Security and the poem at the Statue of Liberty are popular

Why don't you try not being horrible, corporate-owned, neoliberal fuckwads that refuse to do a godsdamn thing even when you do hold power so that people don't hate you? Just sayin'.

TBH I feel like Mamdani has bent over backwards to demonstrate that he's not remotely antisemitic, and guys like Frum who will call him an antisemite anyway on the basis of his religion and anti-Zionism are doing the work of bona fide antisemites

*suing About time @mayorofchicago.bsky.social did something about Airbnb. Not enough, but a good start. Airbnb has a direct effect on rental prices. The correlation is clear, & a better data scientist than I could prove causation. Fundamentally though, it's about opportunity costs for landlords.

100% made-up bullshit intended to profit off our bodies as they kill us. Stephen Miller is easily the greatest threat to humanity in the world today. He is, without question, the modern-day Himmler.

No. No Nazi party for me, thanks.

Oh, goody. More fucking ableism from this regime. Just what we fucking need.

The judge missed doing the funniest thing by 4 days.

Imagine how I felt when Musk stole grok. One of my favorite words.

I remain skeptical. The ban on private equity buying single-family homes is important, but unless they are actually putting billions into creating affordability, this is mostly going to be more YIMBY trickle-down nonsense, I'm sure. Will try to read the bill soon to see.

🧵“What she did…was to make me think why capitalism is not only efficient and practical, but also moral” - Alan Greenspan, speaking about his guru Ayn Rand in 1974. It's worth understanding the role that this partnership played in unleashing the savageries of the modern market.

Oh, my bad. I was wrong. Not six months. Way way faster. It's going to keep falling though, I'm certain.

I want to see Elon Musk in jail and stripped of every asset. Every. Fucking. Penny. @teslatakedown.com @teslatakedownuk.bsky.social @signsofdemocracytt.bsky.social @everyonehateselon.bsky.social

I've said before and will say again that if I were rich, I'd be shorting the hell out of that stick right now. Say, six months or so? It's going to crash. Hard.

Collins also voted to confirm Alito and Gorsuch

Oh man, it's good to have scientists. Too bad we're going to lose more or less a generation of them thanks to this regime. Anyways, cool science 🧵 below.

We. Can. Build. A. World. Where. We. Do. Not. Mock. People’s. Physical. Appearance. (Or ability! Ahem!) This includes size. AND clothing choices. Hair. Makeup. Even, yes, body modifications. What matters, for the 28295282th time, is people's words & actions. What they say & do.

I saw that awful post of someone insisting AI will help people with developmental disabilities to read, and that’s such a bad faith argument. We already make books for readers at all reading levels. We want more people to read! Lots of people are very dedicated to getting more people to read!
