Zay has been in and out of the hospital and UCC with LC complications. They have been trying to reach a week or two goal since their hospital discharge to stay housed. 43 would at least cover today due by noon. Any aid is appreciated, including amplifying. VM & CA: ZayCrescendo PP: Zay88

Here’s an idea for a reporter: Gather some retired cops or MPs together and show them how ICE handles hecklers and protesters. I guarantee you’ll get some amazing copy. Especially if your outlet lets you reprint profanity.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

I ended up losing shelter at noon and am still 27 short to get re-housed. Please read the details in my pinned post, and please spread the word if you have the extra energy. Many thanks in advance.

So, stupid question. Why are we wasting an increasing amount of finite resources to generate artificial scarcity?

For our entire lives the state has been slowly conditioning us to accept dehumanization and unrestrained violence. It's the carceral state. Intentional scarcity and poverty. The exploitation of people around the world and within our borders. Designations of "criminal" and "terrorist."

I'm still short 11 to be able to remain hauzed due at noon, and still urgently need to cover copay for a prescription, and food. If you could please amplify my pinned post I'd wholeheartedly appreciate it.

I'm unfortunately short 18 still to be able to stay housed due at noon. Please amplify my pinned post. Thanks in advance.

It's 20 Fucking 25, we're staring down the barrel of full-blown fascism, and centrist Democrats are STILL talking about Bill Clinton, Sister Souljah, and the need to "moderate" the party and make nice with the fascists. I can't do this. I literally can't. I'm going to scream.

From "The Master And His Emissary" by Iain McGilchrist: Attention is a moral act: it creates, brings aspects of things into being, but in doing so makes others recede. What a thing is depends on who is attending to it, and in what way.

I remember the moment when Joe Biden said he'd be ok with losing because he knows he did all that he could. Even after 4 years of failing to focus on justice and anti-corruption.

The national Democratic Party has forgotten how to fight. But in this critical moment, we need fighters — not folders. We need a Democratic Party that is a little less Washington and a little more Texas.

Well isn’t this lovely. Opera star sings Habanera (from Carmen) in the airport (?) What a terrific voice. #opera I don’t care if they’re staged, we need more profl free public #music and #art.

Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next. This is what dictatorship looks like.

This isn’t bad luck or coincidence or predestination. This is our choice. To live in a nation where our leaders teach hate, and military style guns are everywhere.

30 FEMA employees wrote an open letter to President Trump complaining FEMA is not operating the way it should because of the person who Trump made FEMA Director is extremely inexperienced. They were all placed on administrative leave today. .Deadline WH, MSNBC

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

Life comes at you fast

Welker plays Rubio a clip of him saying in 2022 that "you can't cut deals with guys" like Putin 😬

Today on Twitter they're advocating for Obama to be arrested for treason.

I wrote this 2019 about Trump's Fascism. People disagreed at the time. Do you see it now?

Folks can argue about the relevancy of the “Democratic socialist” label all day. But if that’s what you’re hung up on, you’re missing the larger point. People aren’t chasing labels. They’re chasing change. Real, structural, unapologetic change. 🧵

Please be a blessing to Zay! Poor bear has gone through hell for so long...he really needs a break. Every dime is needed and appreciated. #helpsky #fundsky #helpfolkslive2025 #signalboost
