On the one-year anniversary of his detention by federal authorities, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and First Lady Rama Duwaji welcomed Mahmoud Khalil, his wife Noor, and their baby boy, Deen, to Gracie Mansion to break the fast together.

It is impossible for anyone younger the 50 to understand how grotesque and unoriginal this is. It’s always the small group of advisors or tactical team.

Part of looking out for a community is including everyone in that community. Not just your friends. Not just the likeable folks. EVERYONE.

Oh, for history to repeat...

I think it's far past time for a serious candidate for POTUS to propose complete, world wide nuclear disarmament. The mere presence of the threat (see Iran and Iraq) has led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocents. The only way to end the threat is to eliminate the weapons, without war.

Hopefully The Felon suffers the same fate as Crassus.

Yeah, it's pretty horrible Do you think she will show up for a deposition looking like this?

Today you should send love to your trans friends. Tomorrow, too. Maybe every day for a while.

Walter Isaacson discussed his new book, "The Greatest Sentence Ever Written", about this sentence, on The Stephen Colbert Show tonight!

God, I had forgotten about this bit. So great.

@jonathancapehart.bsky.social After this nightmare is over, returning to the status quo is unacceptable. Where do we go from here?

#OtD 8 Feb 1921 Peter Kropotkin, famous proponent of anarchist-communism, died of pneumonia in Russia. He took part in revolutionary groups in four countries and was a major contributor to anarchist theory. Works by and about him available here: shop.workingclasshistory.com/collections/...

7/7 From Ventura County to across this great Land of Immigrants, we have a message for ICE: WE WILL FIND YOU AND WE WILL UNMASK YOU. SUNLIGHT IS COMING FOR YOU ALL. #OneOfOursAIlOfYours #UnmaskICE #DestroyFascism #805VC

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

From the scene of the looting of a Rachelle-Béry grocery store last night in the Plateau, action claimed by les Robins des ruelles.

"Sixty people entered a Rachelle Béry location on the evening of February 3, filling their bags with groceries valued around $6000, before leaving without paying."

Folks are asking why this sort of behavior is "tolerated" from black bloc and I'd invite them to remember that during Unite the Right, black bloc intervened where cops wouldn't and likely saved the lives of more mainstream-appearing protesters multiple times.

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting. Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

"Nearby, a six-year-old wondered if the unicorn she saw marching earlier was ok. "

Tommy wasn't the only one who started a fight and lost. What do these dweebs think is going to happen when they show up to shout slurs at a crowd? What would the Right do if we did the same thing at one of their rallies?

Giant man-child provokes everyone and then cries when they fight back. Typical middle school bully behavior. Good job PDX for finally sending this blowhard packing.

"The world isn’t ending. A world is ending. Our job is to midwife the next one."

WHEN DOCUMENTING ICE, USE S. A. L. U. T. E. S-Size. How many ICE? # of People and Vehicles. A-Activity. Specifically what ICE are Actively doing? What's suspicious? L-Location. Address, Cross Streets,Landmarks. U-Uniform. What are ICE wearing? T-Time. Date & Time. E-Equipment. Guns/Devices?

Following the horrific news from Minneapolis, we are learning that Oregon is next in line. Stand together, stay ready, and follow my account here to learn about ways you can advocate for your community.

a fun activity is checking to see how many tickets have been sold to the melania documentary at your local theater this weekend. across the 12 showings friday-sunday at mine, it's five tickets total.

It was great to come together and hear from community members in Rockwood on Tuesday. I am hosting another community listening session at the St. Johns Community Center this week, and I hope to see you there. Your voices fuel my work in Congress.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Yesterday, I drove refugees that had been shipped off to Texas all the way back home to St. Paul Seeing them reunite with their families reminded me this is their home. So keep sending them to Texas. I’ll keep driving ‘em back and introducing them to Bucc-ee’s and KC barbecue along the way.

I firmly believe if we had UBI we could all be doing what we love and life would be immensely better. And it's not that people would stop doing necessary jobs. There are people who would unclog pipes for sheer satisfaction. We're all little freaks for something.

BREAKING: Thousands of protesters show up to protest against Donald Trump near the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. People all around the world really hate Donald Trump. I hope they realize that most Americans hate him too.

i've seen enough: greg bovino is a bitch.

Knowing that they want you burnt out and ineffective, find the intersection between what brings you joy and what is needed in the world right now. That's what you need to be doing. This is a marathon, not a sprint. Find your steady pace.

"Bearing witness" means nothing if doing so robs you of your ability to work effectively against it. Limit the amount of awful shit you consume to avoid becoming desensitized to it or wanting to avoid news all together.

Remember that they want you to fail. They rely on you being so burnt out from work and constantly viewing atrocities that the thought of organizing or doing something else meaningful to create change is unmanageable.

For many years, Americans have thought they needed the right to own guns in case they had to take up arms against the oppression of their own government. Well...

I keep seeing people asking why the police aren't arresting ICE or protecting people from ICE and I desperately need you to understand that the police aren't protecting you from ICE because protecting YOU is not and never has been their function and that's why we need to defund them.

“The law has no claim to human respect. It has no civilizing mission; its only purpose is to protect exploitation.” - Peter Kropotkin

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

"Murdering a mother of a 6-year-old child, you're in the wrong place in your soul. God help you! Her son's name is Emerson; Emerson does not have a mother today because one of you murdered a woman in cold blood yesterday!" -Minneapolis ICE protester scolds line of ICE agents ⬇️

Today marks 1 year that we've shared this post every day as a gentle reminder. It was originally a throwaway thought, not part of a plan or bit, but it felt right to put focus here and hold it. Thanks for indulging this small act. Trans people can't be erased.
