"Don't follow illegal orders" would be more meaningful if Democrats had prosecuted literally any of the prominent war criminals of the last 30 years instead of, you know, fucking campaigning with them

Reminder of who the real threat was, and who the threat has never been.
Maybe today should be a day of atonement.

"My mentor always tells me, 'Kim, dogs don’t bark at parked cars." They’re coming after critical race theory, 1619, intersectionality because these ideas mobilized people. They gave them the language to actually articulate what they were seeing with their own eyes," says Kimberlé Crenshaw.

The pendulum will swing hard toward justice. These are the last kicks of the dying mule.
The pendulum always swings both ways and it will again 💙

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Oh, my god. This is such a loss. Alice was a wonderful person who did so much to advance the cause of disability justice. The world is a much better place because she was here.
I don’t want to formulate words yet, but my friend Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social of the Disability Visibility Project, has passed.

Shit. I'm going to have to do a thread about what the BOP baseline is (yes, they ration tp and period products, which becomes a fulcrum for sexual abuse) and what makes sense (separate food streams when a lot ppl might want to poison you is not abnormal) and what's batshit, aren't I?
Apparently, Ghislaine Maxwell is living it up in prison with unlimited toilet paper. Here’s what we know about her alleged special privileges at her new federal prison camp in Texas.

Zohran Mamdani says that New York City stands with Starbucks employees!
He points out their CEO made 96 billion last year.
That’s 6,666 times the median Starbucks worker salary.
Boycott Starbucks. Support the workers. Demand they receive a living wage.

In solidarity! Also their coffee sucks!
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Holy cow! What a brilliant and revolutionary thought! Maybe we don't need a bunch of white dudes with substacks to tell us what to do - just be a good candidate (and person) for the race you're in.
What if the model is: “be a good candidate for the race you’re running in the place you’re running.” I understand this attempt to assert one model over another, but it seems to fly in the face of the entire history of politics.
