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.

If we have to count on Republicans conscience for our country’s salvation, it’s pretty clear we are going to come up short.

We are also going to need courage, tenacity, and loud resistance from Dem electeds like yourself. Step up.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. 

It wasn’t the feds —  it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Neighbor shielded 7-year-old during South Shore federal raid: ‘I didn’t want them to take her’
During the Sept. 30 raid one tenant protected a terrified girl and her mom. Remnants at the complex, including a detailed map of all the units, offer clues to what authorities may have known before th...

The end of the letter which got truncated in my alt text:

“Our silence cannot be bought, borrowed, or bullied.
When justice is under attack, silence is complicity. Freedom and justice cannot wait."

With alt text. Unfortunately it got truncated I think
"The NBA stands firmly and without hesitation beside New York AG Letitia James. Today's indictment is unjust and dangerous. It represents the continued weaponization of our nation's justice system for political gain. The President has crossed a red line that no leader in this country's history has crossed before. Directing the DOJ to target an independent, duly elected state attorney general for doing her job strikes at the heart of our democracy. AG James has dedicated her career to fairness and the rule of law. She has done what every public servant should do which is follow the facts and apply the law without fear or favor. To see her integrity attacked through baseless charges is an assault on the very foundation of justice itself. We now see the result of politics overtaking principle. Career prosecutors determined that there was no evidence to support these charges. They were pushed out and replaced with individuals whose only qualification is their loyalty to a single man, not to the Constitution or the law. That is corruption. That is abuse of power. And that is why we must all speak out. This is not just about one person or one case. It is about whether the justice system will serve the people or be used as a tool of political revenge. Even leaders from across the political spectrum have expressed concern. They know what is at stake. If this can happen to an attorney general who stands on the side of truth, it can happen to anyone who dares to uphold it. For more than one hundred years, the NBA has been the conscience of this profession. We have stood for the independence of the judiciary, the dignity of the law, and the protection of those who fight for justice. We will continue to do so now. AG James has said she is not fearful. Her faith remains unshaken, and she knows, as we know, that no weapon formed against her shall prosper. The NBA calls upon every lawyer, judge, and citizen who believes in justice to stand united in this moment. Our silence cannot…

A really striking thing about the US is how it feels like everyone is constantly trying to rip you off. You have to hold constant vigilance against scam. Absolutely corrosive to social trust and a core part of our current political problems.

is it not weird that every day there’s a new video of anonymous masked men having the time of their lives beating/shooting/disappearing people and the dem response from the top down is “republicans want to double your health insurance premiums”

Speaking of Trump and the Nobel Prize, did you know that most of the golden baubles in the Oval Office are awards to Mr. Trump? For example the one just behind him in this photo was awarded to him by Arby’s, for ordering 5 “Big Arb” combo meals in the same week.

Remember when Trump was going to invade Greenland and make Canada the 51st state? This administration runs on 100% bullshit. It’s all just for internet likes, grift, and self-aggrandizement. A once-great country being flushed down a golden toilet on an idiot’s whim.
