but maybe they didn't want y'all in their business like that?!! 🦭❤️

It's truly the little, simple details that make QOL in NYC better. Glad this PA is on the job.

in other words, y'all, the math ain't mathing #econsky

To all the young people in New York and across our country who count on gender-affirming care: I won't let this administration come for you, your doctors, or your lifesaving health care.  Your health care is still legal and protected.  I'll always fight for you.

I won't say everything that I want to say about this today, but the police and bystanders should face charges AND make restitution.

No. Bounty hunters show their faces and act on warrants. ICE is kidnapping folks of color off the street like the KKK just to terrorize and meet white supremacy quotas.

The repercussions of this regime's illegal and cruel policies will be felt for generations. All of it was 100% preventable. We failed an open book test that had the answer key on the front page. And by the way I see people putting down Jasmine Crockett, y'all ain't learned 💩

It would be good to know what disability rights scholars and activists think about this legislation. @crdjustice.bsky.social @olastruth.bsky.social @imanibarbarin.bsky.social

Gift idea for people who like hot fresh sourdough bread but don't feel like going to all the trouble. Pop a Wildgrain loaf in the oven to finish baking on a winter day. Croissants worth fighting over. Gluten free options are avail. w/this link you get $40 off and I get a credit, too.

Definitely part of the recipe. Also, women are less likely to put up with bad personalities or poor social skills bc of our increasing financial and social independence. i.e. unlike our grandmas, we can have nice things and experiences w/o men, so we're not in a rush to be "chosen."

WTF? ICE is arguing in court that US CITIZENS can be detained, handcuffed, and biometrically screened unless they can prove citizenship on the spot. And that a REAL ID isn't enough. This isn't border security.

Today, House Republicans wasted committee time targeting the Southern Poverty Law Center, going after the organization’s finances and ties to Democratic administrations. It’s stunning hypocrisy coming from the party of the Koch brothers and the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025.

this will make food even more expensive as farmers and all the other folks in the supply chain charge more to make up for losses.

All year we’ve been seeing people do backflips to boot Black people out of jobs and schools and everyone rushed to say they’re just afraid and complying with federal policy when yeah those executive orders only meant as much as they wanted them to

Depending on the type of chili, either cornbread or a bit of rice.

knowing how superfluously evil and unprofessional this regime is, I'm surprised they didn't have a mar-a-lago face stripper pop out of the cake.

You all really can’t help yourselves from becoming assholes bc I disagreed with you White ppl are “nice” to racialized ppl when you agree with but once you present something that challenges their views they turn nasty And these are the same ppl who complain about identity politics regarding us

On a side note: Earlier, I saw a video of a family hyping a girl up with “You’re a woman now!” bc she started her period. I love seeing positive family messaging around this topic, but I wish society would stop with this idea that getting a period makes a girl a woman.

This response to the regime's KKK style tactics is several months overdue and should be enacted in all 50 states and territories. Agents of the government at any level should identify themselves properly if they are going to question or detain anyone. PERIODT.

Every time I venture outside on the weekend someone is always waiting to show me why I shoulda kept my a$$ home. Every. Time.

Guess CBS now stands for Caucasian Bull 💩?

EXACTLY how anti-Blackness undermines movts for economic justice. As companies use Trump's illegal EOs to slickly abandon DEI, Black women bear the brunt w/more than 300,000k laid off. Nothing from the non-Black "socialists" But we're supposed be sad + show solidarity when racists lose their jobs.

This response to the regime's KKK style tactics is several months overdue and should be enacted in all 50 states and territories. Agents of the government at any level should identify themselves properly if they are going to question or detain anyone. PERIODT.

This is such an important point! We did an episode unpacking this with Chandra Childers, a senior policy and economic analyst at @epi.org. This racist practice is a feature of the Southern Economic Development model. Check out our whole conversation here: buff.ly/BMWoaFJ

So, yeah. I reached a disgust overload for this man when he said (with his full chest) that a grown 40 yo man "having sex" with a 13 yo girl "isn't rape", and that the child Polanski assaulted "wanted it, and that "throwing around the rape label" was like "overusing the racism label"

Cornering them with receipts is a good start tho

This is really incredible. The government's battle to deport Abrego Garcia has apparently been based on a lie from the start. Not even the "gang affiliation" lie or the "human smuggling" lie, but the more basic assertion that he was ordered to be deported in the first place.

Know how when someone says "Is eating out really more expensive than cooking at home?" There's always a person suggesting lentils. My siblings in Christ: Who goes to a restaurant just for lentils? But also, have you seen the price of lentils since Tiktok's been hyping them?!? Esp. the BLACK ones!

A dynamite opportunity here for all NYers to get more Congressional representation that’s experienced in public service and not beholden to billionaires and warmongers. I hope we don’t blow it, but already some of the silly ageists are complaining he’s older than Goldman — 56 {faux gasp!}

I know he can do it! Let’s goooo!

We also arrest people because drug trafficking— suspected or convicted— isn’t punishable by death in the USA.

Turning away from bipartisan efforts to support people returning from prison or jail harms not just them, but their families and communities. Our criminal justice experts explain why reentry work matters: bit.ly/3KpuBYb

The UN's top humanitarian and emergency relief official has told NPR that the lack of attention from world leaders to the war in Sudan is the "billion dollar question". n.pr/44cy5nv

been thinking about this months. The fact that our checks and balances system has failed in every way is even more indicative that USA can’t be trusted w/its unprecedented power anymore. We’ve shown we won’t/can’t stop govt leaders who break our own longstanding laws. We’re a failed state now.

I pled “not guilty” in federal court yesterday. Someone did “unreasonably obstruct the usual use” of the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza. But it wasn’t me. Here’s why: open.substack.com/pub/bradland...

Love contains truth but truth doesn’t necessarily offer love. So, love.

A favorite thing to do on this app is mute accounts blaming Biden or Harris for Trump's regime. If the last 10.5 months of hell hasn't convinced y'all that while both parties are problematic, they actually are NOT THE SAME, then nothing EVER will. At least I won't have to scroll past your 🐂 💩

so far this week, my personal culinary wins were: - chicken curry puff pot pie - pistachio Genmaicha hot latte

Much like corporations lining up to pay money on a new White House ballroom, this FIFA "peace prize" is simply a thinly disguised bribe and ego stroke. Remember, when actual athletes speak up about injustice, sports corporations like FIFA (and bigoted fans) tell them to STFU and focus on sports.

Saw a interesting take on Dickens' A Christmas Carol: the biggest lesson isn't about greed, but that Scrooge thought people deserved to suffer bc they didn't live the way he did. e.g., he was rich bc he didn't "waste" money and Scrooge's underpaid worker Cratchit was poor only bc he spent too much.

Does anyone have/know how to get a copy of this U.S. Department of Treasury report released in Jan 2025 (before the fascist purging of govt docs mentioning climate change): Homeowners Insurance Costs Rising, Availability Declining as Climate-Related Events Take Their Toll #ClimateSKy #Climate #Data

Dear folks in Minneapolis, If you care about protecting your fellow humans from genocide, please organize to protect your Somali neighbors from ICE.

These stories from individuals fleeing the brutal civil war and humanitarian crisis in Sudan are horrifying. The United States must use its leverage to end these atrocities and protect the Sudanese people. www.bbc.com/news/article...

"a country she said she had never been to...." www.nbcwashington.com/investigatio...

This regime is bad but the GOP and its POTUS has always been extra horrible on AIDS policy going back to Ronald Regan

My wife has been HIV+ for 34 years. She’s alive today b/c work of activists who destigmatized the virus, pushed medical science to adapt & find ways to treat it, & advocated for gov health programs that helped fund her care. The current U.S. regime may want to go back in time, but we won’t let them.

This folly is on repeat. People said to millennials for years: “Stop spending your money on frivolous things” and “Pay your student debt, you owe it!” Then eventually every month there was talk of a new industry suffering bc millennials weren’t spending like their parents did.

"That fungus is called Cladosporium sphaerospermum, and some scientists think its dark pigment – melanin 👀 – may allow it to harness ionizing radiation through a process similar to the way plants harness light for photosynthesis. This proposed mechanism is even referred to as radiosynthesis."

This phenomena where people try to "feel normal" by controlling others has been called out for years by people speaking on oppression, incl women, LGTBQ+ and BIPOC folks, but, yes, this is a good explanation. but FTR, I disagree on 1 thing: some vegans have been guilty, too.

The liars in the White House aren't "mistaken." They know they're lying. They think lying is a big part of their job. Never cut them a break by thinking they're confused or deluded. They're lying to steal the freedom of everyone you love.
