A digital drawing of a frog standing on a bright red background. The frog is holding a sign that says “ICE out of Portland”. The frog looks mad.

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.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

Perry County is one of the smallest & poorest counties in TN. It’s also home to violent neo-Nazi Sean Kauffmann of the Tennessee Active Club.

Linden, the county seat, holds an annual WWII re-enactment during which a giant Nazi flag is draped from the courthouse - presumably at taxpayer expense.

September 2025 – A photo shows Sean Kauffmann of the Tennessee Active Club, standing outside the Perry County Courthouse in Linden, Tennessee. Kauffmann is dressed in a black leather SS-style overcoat and officer’s cap. Behind him, a large red and black Nazi flag is displayed on the courthouse façade as part of preparations for Linden’s annual World War II “re-enactment,” which depicts a fictional scenario in which Nazi forces invade the rural Tennessee town during the war.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

the inverse of this is how much of politics is now just accepting that you have to vote for people who hate you, so your best option is to vote for people who hate other people more than they hate you
