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.

Not just a plane, now real estate in Qatar. If we wrapped Turdbucket in shiny paper, would Qater accept him as a gift?

If you’re in El Paso, home to Ft. Bliss and Biggs Field, and need food assistance, the Mustard Seed Cafe (where I volunteered) provides hot fresh food Wed-Friday. No questions asked. It’s main purpose was providing meals in a restaurant and dignified setting for unhoused, but is now for all… free.

It’s heartbreaking that the richest country in the world needs food banks to feed its people but it’s unbelievable that our billionaire politicians have forced our military to feed themselves and their families from food banks.

REPUBLICANS (EVIL SADIST "FUCKWADS"!) COULD END THIS SHUTDOWN IN A HEARTBEAT, BUT THEY WON'T — BECAUSE THIS IS THE "PROJECT 2025 SHUTDOWN." MANY PEOPLE ARE SAYING JEFF TIEDRICH (ME!) HAS WRITTEN A VERY STRONG AND POWERFUL POST ABOUT IT — WHICH YOU CAN READ HERE, THANK YOU: bit.ly/3KwqJEo

remember, Republicans could end this shutdown in a second — they control all three branches of government. but they don’t want to end the shutdown.

these sadists want Americans — particularly, Americans in Democratic states — to suffer, and they’re using the shutdown as cover to perpetrate their fuckery.

Russ Vought — the architect of Project 2025 who is now the Director of the Office of Management and Budget — is pissing himself with glee right now. he’s firing government workers who don’t need to be fired, and defunding government programs that don’t need to be defunded.

all this is part of Vought’s Project 2025 wet dream to turn America into a Christian Nationalist dictatorship with Donny Convict permanently installed as King Fuckface the First. he’s been plotting this shit for years.

Just made a donation to the Navy = Marine Corps Relief Society. It's really easy to do, just follow the links. Please, folks, the criminal regime doesn't give a damn about the people in the military, but they are just people like us, doing a job and being punished for that.

Masks. Armed. No insignia. No names. No warrants. But they will come up to an American citizen on the street and threaten him with arrest for peacefully exercising basic American rights.

I'd challenge historians of the American Revolution to articulate how things were worse than this in April 1775.
