Apropos of nothing, but "we have to tolerate intolerance if we want to beat the bad guys" is a recipe for becoming the bad guy.

My friend told me that her 14 year old son started doing laundry on Sundays for some of his elderly neighbors. He doesn't charge for the labor. And now he is the most popular person in the building and has non stop pies, cookies, and cake. The 14 year old should be our model of modern masculinity.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

The White House (2028)

Three high schoolers founded a book club that reads some of the country's most frequently banned books after a state law removing books with sexual content was signed in 2023. Two years later, many of the books have been reshelved and parts of the law can't be enforced.

Anybody trying to deride or divide the overwhelmingly large cross-sectional movement to restore democracy should be viewed with suspicion It ain't perfect, but there is simply no alternative that can mobilize millions and provide a venue to hear the Mayor of Chicago call for a general strike

Good thing the military isn't woke anymore and is willing to take the fight to our enemies, like Colombian fisherman and Interstate 5.

Spotify is running ICE ads. I went to cancel on mobile and saw that this isn’t allowed on mobile. They make you cancel on desktop. You think that’s gonna stop me, Spotify? I will erase you and forget you ever existed. THOU SHALT CANCEL SPOTIFY!!!

If you think something doesn't matter, you don't respond to it. He responded. The people have the upper hand.

Cancel SPOTIFY. They are running ICE ads. F them. www.snopes.com/fact-check/s...

Many disabled people couldn’t attend No Kings because of accessibility and/or safety issues. ICE has a history of targeting and abusing the disabled … because we’re easy targets The Nazi’s did the same. Called us “useless eaters” Tested the gas chambers on us Disability justice is anti fascist!

If you were out in the streets today, thanks. If you left feeling inspired, please seek out local ways that you can keep organizing with others.

I feel that some of you need regular reminders of how unpopular this man is. And frankly I see him getting even more so as the economy worsens. Again, this doesn't mean that he will give up any power but it does mean that WE HAVE POWER TOO.

No member of Congress should vote for any appropriations if the whole exercise is a non-binding farce.

I actually don't understand not seeing that it's all just capitalism and capitalism literally does NOT work unless there's someONE or someTHING to exploit.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

I am sharing this because people need to know that the majority of people polled know who to blame.

This is one of the significant fault lines between the Left(s) and the Right. On the Left(s) [in general], we believe that everyone deserves public goods and to live in dignity. Period.

This seems really bad and should be getting more attention nationally. Hundreds airlifted from storm-battered Western Alaska villages in historic evacuation, by @adn.com

Extraordinary NEW story: We Found That More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. @nicolefoy.bsky.social w/ photos by @sbmaneyphoto.bsky.social

Before you buy Girl Scout cookies you should know they support transgender girls and reject donations from anti-transgender organizations. Then buy a couple more boxes

15 US states and territories have formed a new Public Health Alliance, which will counter the absence of federal leadership by tracking outbreaks, issuing guidance, buying vaccines and more. Members of the new alliance include CA, CO, CT, DE, GU, HI, IL, MD, MA, NJ, NY, NC, OR, RI, WA.

Topics Mike Johnson thinks are serious: - Super Bowl halftime entertainer - getting a Nobel Prize for Trump - terrifying naked bike riders Topics he thinks are not serious: - Epstein Files - domestic violence - being able to keep the govt open - the neutering of Congress

It is at least *interesting* that the people making this supposedly world-changing technology think its most profitable use cases are: social media videos and sexting.

The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight

Nation’s Indigenous People Confirm They Don’t Need Special Holiday, Just Large Swaths Of Land Returned Immediately https://theonion.com/nation-s-indigenous-people-confirm-they-don-t-need-spec-1839033177/

Just a reminder, the layoffs in govt were just done out of spite, not necessity

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

Lord give us the Democrats that Republicans warn us about.

I donated some copies of Let This Radicalize You for distribution at an ICE watch training for folks who want to join school patrols in a nearby neighborhood. Not everyone got a copy, because 120 people showed up for that training tonight. I am endlessly proud of Chicago.

None of us can do everything but each of us can do SOMETHING.

you'd think a prominent news outlet like the New York Times might mention that "antifa" isn't an actual organization in a long story about antifa, but nope! and the subhead helps props up a false claim this professor was up to something seedy as something up for debate

Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer. In his first teaching document Thursday, Leo confirms that he is in perfect lockstep with Pope Francis on matters of social injustice.

But that is precisely the situation right now according to SCOTUS itself. They are constantly deciding major issues via the shadow docket, without any reasoning or final order, to ensure those rulings are *not* legally binding and can be reversed whenever they feel like it. That is illegitimate.

🚨🚨🚨Chicago - NOW!🚨🚨🚨 1/2

This is excellent!

It’s great that Dems are winning the messaging war on the shutdown and all but we don’t have the sort of time to just be at “they’ll pay for this at the polls midterms.” They need to get the public to broadly understand the immediate authoritarian crisis we are facing now.

The government is shooting priests in the head with pepper balls. I feel like this is a kitchen table issue.

I don't think most people understand what we're facing. Not really.

This very very very bad. I cannot stress this enough. I said that they crossed the Rubicon with arresting Ras Baraka several months ago. This is very bad and portends more bad things for regular people.

Murray: I talked to a family that’s paying about $300 a month for their health insurance. It’s going to jump to over $1,800 per month. Many people will turn away and not pay for it—obviously, they’ll lose their health insurance. The fewer people who have insurance, the more everybody pays.

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

This strikes me as pretty bad

very cool that if you are working on behalf of right-wing culture warriors, you no longer need standing to have your claim adjudicated by the supreme court

When you drag a woman by the hair, beat her and force her to kiss your flag, that’s how you tell the world you are the Good Guys

Over 2 million people across Italy have rallied in more than 100 cities for a one-day general strike.

Transsexual for everybody

Elizabeth Warren: "The president said 'I am going to impose a lot more pain on my fellow American citizens. I'm going to impose a lot more pain on people in NY who need to use those tunnels so I can get my way politically.' To me, that is a place to stop & say, then we're ready to fight about this"
