From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

Dear cishet women, want to be a good ally? Don’t invade gay spaces. I don’t take up space in Black bars or lesbian clubs. Go make your own space and quit colonizing ours. I’m tired of holding your hair back as you puke to “good music.”

Via SCOTUSToday: “A new study ‘from economists at Yale and Columbia contends ... that a good way to guess the outcome of a [Supreme Court] case is to follow the money.’ Researchers concluded that the court rules in favor of wealthy parties more often today than it did in the past.”

Hey just a reminder that it only takes 23 Senate Democrats to remove and replace Chuck Schumer as minority leader. They don't do it because the majority of Senate Democrats approve of the way he does politics.

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory? Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

What do teachers 🧑🏫, nurses 🧑⚕️, and firefighters 🧑🚒all have in common? They all pay **MORE** taxes than the richest 400 Americans. Trump’s tax law rigged the system even more, handing billionaires a permanent tax cut while working families pick up the tab.

New ICE data show that the court order banning profiling reduced ICE arrests in LA by 66%! In other words, ICE is effectively admitting that TWO THIRDS of LA arrests were unconstitutional profiling. Did they admit this to the court? NO! They lied to the courts...
