50 years! "A lot of us in the community are neurodivergent," [Moonbeam Albin-Frey] say[s]. "When you are neurodivergent, acting out your favorite movie week after week after week is actually pretty appealing. Not going to lie."

Carolina is an incredible advocate for her cousin, but she shouldn't have to be. This young man should have his dad with him right now.

I didn't want to be an intellectual spending my life in books and libraries without knowing what the hell is going on in the streets. Theory without practice is just as incomplete as practice without theory. The two have to go together. - Assata Shakur / #marxistmonday

"I have declared war on the rich who prosper on our poverty, the politicians who lie to us with smiling faces, and all the mindless, heartless robots who protect them and their property," - Assata Shakur

EVERY president since the 80s has demanded Cuba return Assata Shakur to the US for trial. Trump offered to END the embargo if they returned her. The Cubans told every president for decades to eat shit and that she will always be welcome to live her life in peace on their land. Rest well, legend

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Hey for all of you who believe ridicule is an actual strategy against tyrants, you really got to understand that don't work for all of us. What's worse, you getting off a good joke on a cop, demagogue or some other thin-skinned, tin pot dictator could mean the next marginalized person gets it bad.

“What is alarming today is the emerging pattern of shadowy deportations of people who have not had access to a court or any meaningful form of due process — removals that bear the hallmarks of forced disappearances under international law." Story: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Impossible for me to get up before 6 and not spend 10 to 11:30 thinking of nothing but when it will be socially acceptable to eat lunch

We are just a group of tired parents who want to see positive change for ALL kids in this city, and we are early in our efforts, but we whole heartedly endorse Mamdani for Mayor. We hope everyone who can vote gets out there in November to send a clear message that we want to go forward.

There are two sides in American politics. Those who think there's a right way to work towards stripping women of the right to vote, through the strategic use of debate and organizing rather than violence, and those who don't think it's legitimate to work towards stripping women of the right to vote.

Hey @governor.ny.gov , why have you not signed our Shield 2.0?

One more to sign and share: bit.ly/FreeMouctar ICE cannot lock up our beloved community members without a fight.

You can also call Gov. Hochul at 212-681-4580, and say something like this:

Quick action to protect gender-affirming care in NY: action.aclu.org/send-message...

“Indiscriminate mass deportation that upends the rule of law and reduces people to trauma victims in a politically motivated drama is anti-Christian. It is contrary to Catholic social teaching that is rooted in the heart of our Gospels. It is evidence of Satan in our midst.”

You had me at blowing up Mount Rushmore

In "stunning" news, Democratic nominee favored to win NYC mayoral election...

Join us in taking action! Protecting our community at the state and local level is more important than ever 🏳️‍⚧️❤️

The Democratic Party did not abandon the working class. The WHITE working class abandoned the Democratic Party the day the Civil Rights Act passed in 1964 and never returned. It's not a messaging problem. It's a fucking white people problem. Full stop. The end. Go collect your family.

This is correct and it's why public opinion doesn't actually do anything on its own. It has to be mobilized. You have to DO politics.

I’m in this area a lot lately and something I keep thinking about is, this is the ground this federal building was built on www.nps.gov/afbg/index.htm

A government that cuts funding to suicide hotlines is not a government that wants to keep its citizens alive. This regime will stop at nothing to erase our existence. Fight back!

i love holding real news in my hands

My church, St. Ann's in the Bronx, has stopped including milk in its food pastry bags because milk funding was cut. citylimits.org/im-afraid-of...

"To him, your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity; your sound of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your denunciation of tyrants brass fronted impudence; your shout of liberty and equality, hollow mockery”

"Go where you may, search where you will ... search out every abuse, and when you have found the last, lay your facts by the side of the every day practices of this nation, and you will say with me, that, for revolting barbarity and shameless hypocrisy, America reigns without a rival" FD, 7/5/1852

“We are now being faced with a series of choices between the demands of the federal government and the teachings of #Jesus, and that is no choice at all.” - Episcopal Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe ⚓️ #episcopalchurch

This isn’t a bill, it’s a declaration of war

i wish i could be more helpful in this moment. i think i’m just paralyzed by everything we know is coming.

They are doing Defund The Police in reverse: Gutting the social safety net and giving unlimited power to a vast, violent gestapo to deal with the consequences.

United We Dream Action: “Hospitals will be forced to shut their doors and families nationwide will foot the bill of higher food prices and skyrocketing utility costs while our taxpayer dollars go to massive for-profit ICE detention camps and torture prisons abroad.”

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

@nychealthsystem.bsky.social gave my partner the care and referrals she needed super quickly, listened to her, and had these signs hanging on their walls. And their people are awesome. AND they can call a translator in multiple languages from a phone in any room without skipping a beat.

Major content warning re: the Holocaust, but so important to remember. The media covered the empty bunks and the official statements, not what was really happening inside.

happy pride month. that’s right. july is pride month too. in fact it’s pride year, bitches. the pride will continue until rights improve.

The militarization of Pride is not making our community safer, especially those of us already disproportionately targeted by the police!
