People who want to minimize the popularity of Zohran’s proposals like to say his success is all in the social media/video game but I guarantee that stuff is made better by people actually getting to make content around issues they really care about

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.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

Hey big biz—worth fighting this as your voice still carries weight with this regime and absent any cyber security really have no other kind of security at all this era.

As if any more evidence was needed that the regime was not protecting us nor working for America but rather the opposite.

I don't know if there's such a thing as a "world cyberwar" but I think we are in one? and the US is determined to lose it. 🧵

Today the admin is mass-firing the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the nation's cybersecurity protection across all levels of government.

Who are these ICE agents? Who are these masked federal agents acting like the dictator’s cruel, lawless thugs? No really, who are they? We took a deep dive. Have a read.👇 open.substack.com/pub/socialco...

Who Is ICE?

That’s the problem—we don’t know.

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.

Despite an 18-day service shutdown during the strike, VTA still saw higher overall bus ridership in FY25 than in FY24.

This speaks to how much our riders value the service and perhaps it also speaks to why it’s still important to encourage ridership even when you're frustrated.

Now, push it to the next step - if the cops see people shoving other people into vehicles and there's no ID showing, the cops should step in and stop it.

I think that trolleybuses are a better investment and we are uniquely positioned to fix the domestic supply chain for them.

The First Hill line would have been *much* better off as a RapidRide and the SLU line is...useless for almost everyone.

But if we're gonna do streetcars, we do them right.
