UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

I saw myself as maybe all in for J.B. Pritzker

But I am losing faith, rapidly.

Police state fascism in America is bigger than Trump. It's backed by Democrats just like Republicans. And it's not going anywhere

Note: it's not even curfew yet.

State police just started pushing people off the business park corner. Here in the road, a brave group of demonstrators are attempting to hold their line.

“This is the line. It's the line that got me to tear up as I was watching it. It was the line that FINALLY made me felt seen by a Democratic politician. This is the line that connects everything Democrats claim to fight for with trans rights.”

Both the referenced video and article are so good! Wasn’t expecting to tear up this morning—definitely hit harder than I expected. A perfect example of how the entire Democratic Party should be leaning in and standing up!

Please read Kate's piece and watch Zohran's video. So important, so good, and so hopeful. I cried watching it too.

It simply should not be possible for the president to repeatedly claim that a major city is burning without a wall of live standups happening in that city clearly demonstrating that it is not

This is really good advice.

If you are employed & doing pretty fine right now, set aside some money from each paycheck to dedicate to mutual aid asks. Even just $20.

Shit is really bad, the social safety net is being shredded, & truly TRULY all we have is each other right now.

Everyone, I’m just <sniffs> I’m just so proud of us all.

We finally did it.

LibsOfTikTok finally targeted me.

I’ve been waiting for this moment for so long <unfolds acceptance speech> and first I want to thank everyone who made it possible: Harambe, Kony2012, my fa

A post from failed real estate agent and local ghoul Chaya Raichik aka LibsOfTikTok targeting me. Text of the post reads:

“Leftist CA State Assembly candidate Chris Kluwe, who promotes the harassment of ICE online, was ARRESTED at a Huntington Beach City Council meeting earlier this year.

Chris was protesting a proposed library plaque that featured a phrase similar to ‘Make America Great Again’

Chris called MAGA a ‘Nazi movement’ before leaving the podium and approaching the council member, where he was grabbed by police and carried out.

This unhinged lunatic wants to be an elected official…”

Thanks for the free advertising, Chaya!

It's misleading and you should delete it. If you want to analyze or interpret, don't present it as coming from him. It doesn't take quotation marks to imply you're quoting.

Johnny Cash didn't switch costumes with Elton John on SNL just to have some asshat call him "deeply uncool." I hate to even share this but the ratio is nice.
