Proud of Philly.. Keep doin it...

We are at a different time of history....

“I’m against it. Period,” said Patti Rose, wearing a “No ICE in Berks County” pin. “It’s not about criminals. It’s about rounding people up randomly. We have a lot of empty warehouses in Pennsylvania, we’re a prime target for their campaign … it’s barbaric.” From @wdownard.bsky.social

“Do not let our drop-in center close,” Deborah Shore, the founder and executive director of Sasha Bruce, said. Sasha Bruce's drop-in center lost funding after a city contract was awarded to SAMU's new drop-in center instead. Read more at the link https://bit.ly/4bSeX1a

I’m just not here for any demobilizing or disorganizing talk right now. If you have alternate paths and plans, issue those invitations. We need them. But demobilizing and disorganizing won’t make us stronger or better. And like it or not, in this incredibly fascist moment, this imagery does matter

Camp Chloe: Demanding Housing & Dignity | Philadelphia Portal Ep. 4 Today at 1 PM EDT www.youtube.com/live/rLpD8Fa...

Walk into a sandwich shop. It’s regulated for health and safety. But AI, which will transform the world economically and socially, is completely unregulated. That’s insane. We need to make certain that AI works for ALL humanity, not just the billionaires who own it.

This is the best press ballet and opera has gotten in America in years

They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175 Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/iran...

No, this should be illegal!

No party affiliations... just don't want an ICE Detention Center in their town...

I am so excited...

Wow, this Lebron thing is really affecting me!!!

Cop “unions” are a repulsive stain on the American labor movement, and it’s truly an embarrassment that so few labor leaders are willing to admit that. www.teenvogue.com/story/what-t...

I miss writing for Teen Vogue, there is SO MUCH good we could do there right now. Alas

lol

Why did U.S. forces take control of the Venezuelan government? Follow the money, and you'll get your answer, @newsjawn.bsky.social says:

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia. Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.” Really listen to it.

The World Cup should not be held in the United States.

If you mess up something on one of the endless forms and need to talk to an actual human to rectify it before the office closes at 4pm, GOOD FUCKIN LUCK BUDDY

the demons who scream about poor people “abusing” benefits should have to complete the entire process at least once before they start honking about how “easy” it is to scam, like the Byzantines could never

I was surprised to see so few references to Heather Heyer as I doomscrolled yesterday; she was the first person I thought of once I saw the footage of the car and the protestors and the armed goons, and will be back in my nightmares like usual tonight.

Years ago, an organizing crew I was part of worked to help an unhoused woman in our neighborhood get services. She was dying and qualified for a number of programs. It took a team of seven working for almost two months to secure her a warm bed to die in. Her name was Jennifer.

Folks immediately jump to prosecution without demanding firing. Meanwhile this regime is going to play games for years and not prosecute. In the meantime this person will still be getting a government paycheck.

Y'all could impeach her but I notice that this is not what's on offer.

We ALREADY have ICE concentration camps. We are ALREADY so far gone. Fuck the people who support this evil.

Good morning. I'd like to invite anyone who is interested to make a small gesture of kindness today. It's up to you to decide what that can be. The key is for you to act on the idea. With so much out of our control, we can choose how to be with each other today and every day.

They let her die. #ReneeGood

One thing today has shown is that ordinary people who are politically active protesting their Govt, they are far braver than any of the career politicians running the Govt. And frankly without such brave people, we would not even have the limited rights that we do have.

They blocked the ambulance from rendering aid...

I think my least favorite quality in a person, one that is so often praised as an asset or virtue, is: "doesn't take no for an answer." We're living through an extended nightmare of what that looks like when brought to its logical conclusion.

Whenever I correctly point out that there is no opposition party in US politics, the usual suspects swarm to screech about Dems having no power. If these folks are correct (they are not), then they should BUILD POWER. They aren't doing that.

Homeownership? What are the numbers on it?

American people prepare to celebrate forcible overthrow of country they can locate later at some point.

This is criminal and insane, and it's now incumbent on all of us to oppose it with every ounce of our conviction. We will not be dragged into an illegal war at the whim of would-be warlords.

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

The UK is a bizarre country where its seen as just fine & normal for people to sleep in tents in the freezing cold. Temperatures to hit -4 this week But the idea Billionaires could be less rich. Not poor, not struggling, just a bit less rich, this is seen as extreme and radical

We really need to bring back a focus on reading comprehension

Some can give $1000 and give nothing. Some can't afford to give $10 and give $11.

Was just sent this. Fuck you, Go Bills.

Harm reduction works for long term recovery... I guess I do need to say this all day every day...
