I keep waking up disappointed that I'm still alive while not feeling sad and this is just a very strange level of depression.

Incrementalists take it on the chin again. This is why they hate Mamdani. He's giving up the game that people in power HAVE POWER and don't solely exist to beg you for $5 every day. He's ruining the Democratic Party by showing voters that they have the power to do stuff instead of crouching in fear

yo ahmad needs money for food send it

Going back in time and killing Reagan in like 1974 would solve a shocking number of issues

For Charlotte friends who want to prepare, we made our little whistle station with a plastic planter (drainage in the bottom in case it rains), zip ties, and no-heat lamination paper

I'm seeing people wonder why ICE is going after Charlotte. ICE has been at war with Charlotte's sheriff ever since he won in 2018. We'd covered this at Bolts back in the day; this quote is from that sheriff:

5 headlines tonight on Charlotte Observer’s homepage: “Manolo's Bakery closes to protect customers” “Church members flee as federal agents arrive” “Super G executive describes agents dragging out teen employee” “Border Patrol questions people at Walmart” “Border Patrol sweep sparks fear”

Here’s a story for every national news outlet: In N.C., churchgoers are literally running into the woods as federal agents descend on the property. “Inside the church, women and children sobbed as they wondered whether their loved ones had been taken.” www.charlotteobserver.com/news/politic...

This is how you organize. Learning from what works in other cities, then bringing that to your neighborhood. What works? Blowing whistles to warn of ICE nearby, showing solidarity at businesses, designating public & private spaces, having rapid response community groups. It always starts with you.

We can all be doing this. We can all be forming community groups. We can all learn how to protect each other. This regime wants to tear us apart and crush our shared values. We won’t let them. We will build while they break, and soon enough, we’ll be so organized, they won’t be able to stop us.

TN-7 Candidate @aftynbehn.bsky.social : "If you’re not OK with the chaos at our federal government, are upset with the cost of living & inflation, then I'm your candidate… I’ve never taken corporate PAC money, which is important- because are you fighting for the people or your donors?"

Hii I am at $95/$400 for my goal to get PRINTS of my ART! I need to LEAVE this toxic place and *heal*! I currently live with people who have abused me. I need to leave for my health and sanity. Please donate!! Venmo: @zzz22 CA: $ziizzzii Please share! Please donate! ANYTHING HELPS!! Even $5! 💜

At 16 and 17 years old, Sam and Ben Luhmann for the past two months have made it their mission to follow, investigate and capture federal immigration activity across the Chicago area.

I applaud all clergy willing to do what's necessary to show the brutality of what's being done. In the 1960s the Catholic church encouraged their members and clergy to fight on social issues. Christianity used to be more nuanced.

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

This is cool. COURIER has created a searchable database with all 20,000 of the files just released from Epstein’s estate. Trump's name appears in them more than anyone else, in 1,628 documents. couriernewsroom.com/news/we-crea...

“I didn’t love the idea of protecting pedophiles, but it was ultimately the right thing to do,” explained the Republican, “because that was the only way I could hurt the economy, get secret police tear-gassing kids, end Constitutional democracy, and pocket some cash while I’m at it. You understand.”

OMG, this insane house! www.zillow.com/homedetails/...

And in case the power demands weren't enough, there's the water consumption, with tech companies following the playbook of big polluters since time immemorial: "there's no evidence our giant new development is the cause of harms the community never experienced before" www.nytimes.com/2025/07/14/t...

If you have a copy of Let This Radicalize You, please note that there are appendices in the back of the book that include instructions for treating pepper spray and tear gas exposure and advice from a movement lawyer about what to do when the feds come knocking. Relevant advice in these times.

We don’t need to back off the American Gestapo and we don’t need to respect its agents. People exercising state violence are not entitled to anonymity. Nor are the people directing the state violence.

Yaaassaas!

I have written this in the train.

Menomonee Falls, rated among the top ten safest communities in Wisconsin, is planning on reallocating $300,000 from its library to its police department. Because Menomonee Falls is just that rampant with crime, right? Who needs a library?

Whoa! New polling shows that a majority of voters in EVERY SINGLE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT oppose cuts to Medicaid. Members of Congress should take note. ☎️ Flood the Capitol switchboard to voice your opposition to the bill from hell. 202-224-3121. Defend Medicaid! Defeat Cancer!

Senate Republicans are fast-tracking the GENIUS Act, which would greenlight a financial system enabling the ultra-rich to exploit unstable crypto schemes. The rest of us will be left holding the bag. Every Senate Democrat must vote against Trump's corrupt crypto scam.

No thoughts. Just vibes.

please join me in contributing to this bond and legal representation fund organized by Congregate Cville and local immigrant advocates. it is critical that our neighbors have immediate access to representation if they are targeted by ICE.

Incredible example of why work requirements are a sham--and how they hurt working people:

Horsford: They are cutting healthcare for 13.7 million Americans. The largest cut to healthcare in U.S. history to give tax cuts to billionaires and to big corporations. This is your priority.

All of them had great freedom, but they also had something personal to say that was foundational to Star Wars. None of them looked or felt like George's Star Wars, but they all resonated deeply with things that were important to George. Different songs in the same key.

It’s past time to get rid of senior Democrats. If you’re not willing to fight for the country, get the fuck out of the way.

when we remind everything they’re weird little freaks it works!!!!

OMG, Andor goes soooooo hard. Season 2 was just as amazing as season 1 even with a faster pace.

They want more MOMS at home. And not just because they hate women. Their *economic* model depends on unpaid labor. And the most effective way to coerce unpaid labor is to create a second class of people and teach them that they're only "naturally" suited for labor they're forced to do for free.

Watching a true crime show, and I have so many conflicting opinions. Like I'm against the death penalty, but the argument that someone being on the ASD should exclude them from it being on the table just upset me. Lol. I'm asking myself if really matters how a person is saved from the death penalty?

For everyone saying this doesn't matter because ICE doesn't follow the law: 1. They want you to think knowing your rights makes no difference when we know for a fact it does. How do we know that? Because Homan himself said people knowing their rights cost then hundreds of arrests in Chicago.

Been doing some heavy duty spring cleaning. It's been amazing. I love it but I'm also kinda exhausted. Lol.

An example of what I mean when I say everyday consumer interactions for basic needs are hostile. A utility company services 8 million ppl in my state. They changed payment platforms. Just changed. Every customer has to create a new account, Re-enter payment info, set up billing, auto draft
