NO DMs. NO DMs. NO DMs You have a job. You are not a criminal, and you live in the USA. You are a citizen. All the rest is paperwork. There is no justification for hating and abusing immigrants. My Grands, both sides, were immigrants.

Is Pootin's main man.
He sucks Pootin's dangle
Upon Pootin's command.

How I love my fat American toy!"

Parnas: A lot of people are saying this idea that, well, Graham Platner hasn’t won statewide, and Janet Mills has.

Platner: We have a number of excellent senators who had never run for office or won a statewide race before.

That’s an argument the establishment makes to protect itself

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

George Floyd should still be here to celebrate his 52nd birthday. His life sparked a movement, and our fight for justice, accountability, and humanity continues. We’ll never stop saying his name.

An honor to receive the endorsement of
of nearly a dozen Black clergy leaders in Crown Heights today, including Bishop Orlando Findlayter.

I’m grateful for their support, and this powerful and humbling prayer.

A glow on the horizon
Our shapes intertwined,
A scent all too familiar;
Agarwood and salt
Like a stellar collision
We merge, a gravitational wave
A flash so brilliant; Kilonova

A food bank in the city closest to me also has a store. They have donated brand new furniture, appliances, everything. You can volunteer for credit to spend in the store. I like that idea. Anything like that near you that you could take advantage of? Check!

Farmers grow what they grow because of farm policy.

We don’t need all the soy and corn that we grow, but those are the commodities that receive subsidies and markets.

If we want something better, if we want to heal the Earth and grow food, now is the time to do it.

Sean Duffy is out there saying “No Kings” protesters are paid antifa.

Nobody told me that.

What’s the pay?

Freedom from fascism sounds about right.

we’ll see how his mayoral tenure shakes out but i am convinced that Mamdani has the juice. not just the charisma to win an election but the temperament to govern and the measured pragmatism of someone who genuinely believes what they’re saying and wants to accomplish real things.

Last Sunday, @demiforillinois.bsky.social, @raygunsite.com and I hosted a No Kings protest sign-making party with the best problem:

So many people showed up, we ran out of table space.

This is what community care looks like.
