Diana Moreno: "Last night, I spoke with CBS New York about the horrific ICE detention and separation of 6-year-old Astoria student Yuanxin from his father, Fei. This is just one example of why we must kick ICE out of New York by passing the New York for All Act, and why we must work to abolish this"

This is the first I’ve heard of this story, and one I’m so glad to have read for World AIDS Day.

In these dark times for news media, sometimes we lose sight of why a healthy society needs journalism in the first place. It’s good when we get notes like these to remind us.

Truth Coming Out of Her Well to Shame Mankind

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

bring back Lughnasadh you cowards, you can have bonfires in August and feast outdoors and be happy and we can stop with the pilgrims and use November for penance

a late November holiday is a bad idea, actually, this is all just a bizarrely delayed harvest festival and you’re supposed to finish those by October

Last Wednesday marked the end of the longest government shutdown in US history, and Unbreaking will continue to update our resources as its effects become clear.

One way I have found to mourn someone is to set up a monthly sustaining donation to a mutual aid effort they cared about. If you can join me in honoring Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social with a sustaining donation today, please do. Thank you Alice, and I will not let the bastards grind me down.
