If you are a California voter, please vote Yes on Proposition 50, a hopefully temporary measure to counter the Trump-Republican rigging of U.S. House districts for perpetual GOP control. They declared war on democracy. Support Prop 50 to fight back […]

I grapple with my own helplessness to prevent or even slow these atrocities … in my time, by my country, with my tax dollars. It’s like a dream where I’m unable to run, fight, or even scream. 6/?

God I am listening to @aoc.bsky.social unapologetically celebrating cities -- urbanity, diversity, creativity, decency -- and it is giving me life. Nothing but respect for *my* president.

«What does optimism look like to you right now?» ❝…it means not losing sight of the examples of a better world… New Yorkers… we are a kind people. We are people in a rush, we have places to go. But in the same subway station… you will see a New Yorker who is trying to help a young mother carry […]

Those #ice fuckers abducted another of my neighbors in #somervillema this morning. People from #luce were going door to door asking for info about him so they could let his family know and maybe get him a lawyer. This is just getting worse and worse

I saw so many of my shirts at the No Kings protests! Thanks to everyone who tagged me on pictures, it's as if I was there. I'm still trying to sell enough of them to get myself a new computer. With 80 more shirts to go, I'm about halfway there 🤩 -> sophielabelle.dashery.com

🧵This is why Trump blocked the investigation into the Epstein money trail. Trump knows the money will lead to him, and he made sure to shut it down as soon as he could. These newly revealed emails with Epstein and Leon Black only confirm it. This is why...

The president. Of the United States. Used artificial intelligence. To generate a video of himself. Defecating on the American people. And there's no mention of it. In the New York Times. Instead, they went with this pressing news.

I think this might be my favourite sign I’ve seen. Well done America. Well done!! #nokings

There’s assholes out here trying to tell you that today’s demonstrations were useless virtue signaling. Asserting your values and showing up for each other is never an empty gesture. No circular firing squads. No trolling. No woker than thou sermons. We build together. We live in truth. We […]

The ADL has apparently spent over $100k already on opposition to this ballot measure. A non-binding ballot measure. Which this group is now using the ADL's money to try to keep off the ballot next month. The ballot that has to be prepped and printed really damn soon in order to be ready for […]
