Latino culture has never been more celebrated in public, even as Latino communities and the small businesses that sustain them are being terrorized into hiding. The full story: lataco.com/restaurants-... By Erick Galindo

🔥 Costco membership pays for itself — for peace of mind to know its employees are paid well & and seen as critical to its success, as are its members. And the company knows it can stand up to this fascist regime...and still make a profit. LFG, Costco! 🧾 www.nbcnews.com/business/bus...

We're running out of words to describe how much billionaires are stealing from us.

every trans person i see post about the OU suspension knows that the suspended target is trans & a grad student, & has an innate awareness that this is about purging trans employees. every cis person i see thinks the target is a rando professor & that this is about giving conservatives good grades

"We can end the HIV epidemic, but only if we can continue the federal support that made these gains possible." Today on World AIDS Day, call your members of Congress at 202-224-3121 and urge them to protect HIV and PEPFAR funding. We cannot allow this administration to reverse decades of progress.

New Yorkers BLOCK ICE from leaving their parking garage ahead of a flopped mass raid attempt on Canal Street

“He is asking Christians to stand with the migrant, the outsider, the little one, even when demagogues scream at them to build walls instead.”

This absurd pardon shows the murderous boat bombings were never about stopping drugs

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing. And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

the requirement is, of course, “be white” amp.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

Over 200 men were sent by Kristi Noem-in violation of a court order-to the CECOT prison for terrorists She claimed they were criminals. In reality, most had no criminal records, and many had valid claims for asylum They were tortured. Beaten. Sexually abused. Even shot. THERE MUST BE JUSTICE

The simplest and most effective trick in the GOP arsenal on public health literacy is doing the exact opposite of what a situation demands because it so completely obscures what the problem is— and how they created it.

Also: This widely obscures the role that the US often has in the countries we later declare “failed.” Often, their mess is our mess.

This is fundamentally Nazism. The idea that different peoples than the favored races carry degradation in their very genes, that they cannot strive to become better because biology compels them to be worse. It’s not just repugnant, it’s a bald faced lie.

Maybe they need to start prosecuting NOW! 👇

Thanksgiving Day is framed as a time to connect with family, yet the roots of the holiday come from the massacres of Indigenous people in the U.S. A few years back, Wanbli Máyašleča (Francis Yellow), an artist, healer, teacher, and Native American elder shared his perspectives on Thanksgiving.

"a single person of this demographic may have committed a crime, therefore we must punish the entire demographic" is a policy response you may recognize from fascist governments dedicated to ethnic cleansing elsewhere.

For many, Thanksgiving is not a period of celebration, but a moment to mourn lives lost to American expansion. However, San Gabriel Valley-raised and still-L.A.-based Native American and Mexican hoop dancer, Eric Hernandez, is promoting Indigenous pride. Full story: lataco.com/courage-film...

This Monterey Mushroom facility has a strong union contract. The good union wages and benefits make for low overturn, which makes for extremely skilled workers like this.

As we gather around the table this #Thanksgiving, we’re thinking about the workers who made it all possible: the hands that picked the pumpkins, sorted the sweet potatoes, and processed the turkey. Many are immigrants. All are essential. Thank you for feeding us.

We're in a moment where people are hoping that some form of criminalization of the president will happen and stop the conditions we're enduring, or appealing to the literal cops to serve as a counter to ICE—but a reminder from @dreanyc123.bsky.social: criminalization is not gonna get us out of here.

As you’re preparing for your Thanksgiving meal, remember the skilled work it took to get that food to your grocery store. Tell us your favorite Thanksgiving dish, and we can share some of what we know about the work behind the ingredients.

In 2013, Whole Foods workers in Chicago staged a “Strikesgiving” walkout to demand Thanksgiving off. A year later, they won: no more mandatory shifts, voluntary sign-ups, and double pay for those who work. Proof that organizing works. inthesetimes.com/article/want...

On this National Day of Mourning, we honor Indigenous communities and the truth of our shared history. In a moment of rising bigotry and authoritarianism, we recommit to protecting inclusive democracy and building a just, caring, connected future.

Good morning. Immigrants are #HereToStay.

It didn’t even take 6 hours.

If you want to see how quickly everyone goes into manufacturing consent mode, compare the full-court press tonight to the response to any of the people ICE has shot in the last few months, some of whom died.

I remain convinced DOGE was a massive, planetary scale data exfiltration scheme and that Palantir has it all now

"The general public shoulders the bill [of war]. This bill renders a horrible accounting. Newly placed gravestones. Mangled bodies. Shattered minds... Back-breaking taxation for generations and generations." - Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler, "War Is A Racket", 1935

"The master class has always declared the wars; the subject class has always fought the battles. The master class has had all to gain and nothing to lose, while the subject class has had nothing to gain and all to lose—especially their lives." - Eugene Debs, 1918 (this speech landed him in prison)

"An essential step in the fascist march to acceptance and power was to persuade law-and-order conservatives and members of the middle class to tolerate fascist violence as a harsh necessity in the face of Left provocation." - Robert O. Paxton, The Anatomy of Fascism (2004)

The nonviolent moment was *not* peaceful. The point was to draw out state violence, and be willing to face batons, water cannons, jail, and worse. And Martin Luther King still got shot in the head— other civil rights leaders assassinated. And now, civil rights progress is being rolled back.

People keep posting about how “maybe Leavitt will learn a lesson now that it’s happening to her sister-in-law” and…you are missing a key point. The woman is Leavitt’s brother’s *ex* & Leavitt’s entire family - including her brother & his new wife - seem pretty eager to deport this woman.

🚨NEW🚨 report from @aapf.org Donald Trump’s second administration has targeted equal opportunity and civil rights with a specific focus on undoing progress for Black Americans. Anti-Blackness Is the Point examines the four principal components of the attack. drive.google.com/file/d/1PGDX...

The military has a duty to refuse unlawful orders, but Congress has a duty to remove from office a president and secretary who would issue such orders. There is something off about members of Congress talking about the former while refusing to say the latter, the part that's actually their job here.

DAILY MEMO: In Absence of Border Patrol, ICE and HSI Steps Up to Take Its Place @eltragon.bsky.social

The first legislators arrested for inspecting these spaces were Black legislators from New Jersey

A related one is: Just giving people cash is hugely beneficial and improves their lives. We have tons of studies on this from UBI pilots. But in the U.S. we're allergic to giving anything to poor people.

With Black Friday approaching, there will inevitably be well-intentioned talk that these deals are only possible because workers are denied a livable wage. Don't buy into this. It's not low prices vs. fair pay. It's the demand for ever-higher profits and shareholder returns that forces deprivation.

And you can't just shrug it off because it's an op-ed. Some things are so harmful that we needn't entertain debate, the editorial stance should simply be "this is wrong, full stop." People should know it exists, but there's no need to weigh it as though it's a reasonable opinion.

‘Racism is when you alert people to ICE’s presence’ - yard sign stealing guy. Honestly, we'd be embarrassed for him if he wasn't terrorizing our communities. Hopefully, someone buys him a dictionary for Christmas!

Interesting: this study suggests that white support for anti-democratic policies targeting immigrants increases in places with increased Black pops but not increased Latine pops. Meaning at core what is activated in anti-democratic ideology is anti-Black racism even when the targets are not Black.
