It's so disappointing when you see a discussion @ affordable housing that's framed as only a supply issue. As if the 1000s of luxury apts going up here are lowering rent to affordable for ppl not making a living wage. Sure if only things were easier for developers, ppl wouldnt be unhoused.

Freedom House Ambulance Service was the 1st US org to train & employ paramedics to provide advanced life support before hospital arrival. It was staffed largely by young Black men.

Truly everything about this place is cruel and terrible. In winter when it would snow, the snow set off perimeter alarms and they just let them go off 24/7. The guy who handles the visitor line is a fucking asshole for no reason. People wait outside for hours to spend a few minutes w family...

“People are telling us that they’re being tortured. I don’t know what more we need to hear before people act to start working together to get people released.” Delaney Hall detainees decry inhumane conditions & no access to medications, @alexmar.bsky.social reports.

Just read that Enrique Tarrio is asking for 2-5 million from the Trump slush fund. While Latino babies are sitting in prison eating rotted food waiting to be deported.

Executives at Home Depot and Lowe’s want to hide how—and whether—they protect customers’ civil rights when they share automatic license plate reader data with local cops and federal agents, who use the information to hunt immigrants and others. buff.ly/TcC6kS9

We are importing racists as if we don't make enough here

“We‘re talking about large, sophisticated corporations using paper losses to pay little to nothing in state taxes,” said @ptrchn1.bsky.social. "While New Jersey faces a billion-dollar budget shortfall and real cuts on the table for health care, transit, and education.” www.njpp.org/publications...

For a little more on the Capital Crawl, this is a decent start. What it doesn’t mention is that Republicans sank the ADA into endless committees from the beginning of 1989 until this protest. www.pbs.org/wgbh/america...

Once when my husband worked in radio he had They Might Be Giants in studio and took calls for requests. A caller asked for Enter Sandman and they were like ok, but instead they played "Mr. Sandman" and just said "Enter Sandman" instead. So fun.

It’s actually so funny to see Helen of Troy upset thousands of angry men in 2026 in the exact same way she did back in antiquity.

Im really worried about what this means for Jersey City kids who this may have been the only workable option for. How do we force other institutions to support those kids in higher ed.

Exactly

Accessing essential services without fear of ICE is critical to ensuring safe communities. With @democracydefendersfund.org & 19 partner orgs, we’re telling the court: States have the right to prohibit federal immigration agents from using state-owned property to intimidate & terrorize residents.

They’re trying to normalize the idea of a national sales tax to end progressive taxation, and I’m already sick about the number of people who are going to fall for it because they hate the idea of other people enjoying anything.

What about the boats we are blowing up on the regular

We're understandably outraged about the video of an Irish citizen being assaulted in Israel. Imagine the feelings of a Black person living in Ireland on watching the video of Yves Sakila being killed in Henry Street.

Just grift after grift after grift

Everything is getting demonstrably worse for working people

The fact they will hand money out to terrorist Latinos (Enrique Tarrio) but no SNAP or Medicaid for me, a Latino parent with a low paying job- or that they’re deporting Latinos with kids dying from cancer- I mean the irony should kill us all completely dead.

Who are Black, indigenous, socialist, communist, anarchist living or recently departed economists?

"The signal that comes through from all of these is almost shockingly clear: extreme right-wing messages on immigration and focusing on bipartisanship are clear losers across all kinds of voters. They don’t work."

I can't believe this death trap is still open

Booked a sub job tomorrow knowing I will most likely by sitting in a 90 degree classroom with high schoolers. Maybe I can convince some of them to join our efforts to force the state leg to fund the SDA 🫠

Like it's not even good at capitalism

I guess it's on me expecting Luke Cage to not be at all fascist or cop-trusting. In the end superhero stories are always disappointing, bc it's not the people overthrowing corruption and illegitimate authority. One bulletproof Black man doesn't change a world where all Black men aren't bulletproof.

It isn't "racial pride." The manifesto, which I'm reading right now, is a total slop-bucket of neo-Nazi accelerationism with misogynistic rants and multiple sections that are completely unfinished. It lionizes Brenton Tarrant, who murdered 51 people in a NZ mosque in 2019. nymag.com/intelligence...

“According to Peter Melck Kuttel, a detention coordinator for Father Fabian Arias’ Saint Peter’s Church, he handed the agents copies of the ruling and told them that they could not be in the facility making detainments. 'We don’t care,’ they allegedly told him in response.”

Malcolm X Day returns to Harlem on the Black liberation leader’s 101st birthday on May 19. While tributes span across the world, few places can rival the historic Black neighborhood’s importance when discussing the legacy of El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz.

Hell yeah. Don't let bosses convince you that you don't deserve more. Don't let someone who hoards $100 million tell you that working people don't deserve $100,000. Instead organize and get yours.

It should be illegal for cops to impersonate workers

Abomination

Every financial struggle that Americans are facing is the result of policy decisions. It’s 2026 in the wealthiest country on the planet. People are malnourished because billionaires steal. There’s no famine from natural causes. Decisions have been made.
