ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away

So yesterday I learned about Ava Cordero, a transgender woman who, in 2007, sued Jeffrey Epstein alleging he sexually abused her when she was 16. Her lawsuit was filed in 2007 while Epstein was negotiating a plea deal in Florida for abusing other girls, but her claims were mocked and dismissed

This is great campaign messaging. No wonder the establishment is so shook.
On Friday night, we walked the length of Manhattan, from Inwood Hill to Battery Park.

New Yorkers deserve a Mayor they can see, hear, even yell at. The city is in the streets.

Unironically the thing I love about this point, is that it's a great basis to start talking to y'all about the fact that most of the people in jail in the US are just as innocent as Khalil. Many are Black folk that have been arrested with *absolutely no basis*, but wait *over a year* to see a judge.
The thing about the Khalil case is that it's very very good that he's free now but you can't have it take three months between "the government kidnaps you off the street for no basis reason whatsoever" and "a judge makes them let you go." You just can't.
watched S2 last week and was thinking this the entire time 😭

“They took my cousin. He informed them he is a US citizen and his passport was in his pocket. We don’t know where they took him.”

This isn’t about deporting undocumented immigrants this is about going after people who are not white!

It is a depressing indictment of modern society that as Palestinians are massacred with American weapons, trans people are criminalized, Black people are pushed out of jobs, immigrants are disappeared, and pregnant people lose bodily autonomy, the question du jour is "but what about white men?"

I was prepared to start reading these stories about Black women, because misogynior.
But if you’re a cis yt woman and you’ve already decided this has nothing to do with you, I hate to inform you that the Republican, genitalia-obsessed freaks do not care.

That racist white bitch is at $750,000. For calling a 5 year old child the N word. And Im applying for 5 grants a day to keep my nonprofit from being destroyed by Trump. And Im angry about it.

“It’s cynical, manipulative, and cruel — and for what? Amazon has already put half the bookstores in the country out of business, controlling over 60 percent of the market and selling far more books than all indie bookstores combined,”

Reminder to NOT buy books from Amazon today (or any day really)
‘It’s Cynical, Manipulative, and Cruel’
Booksellers are not happy about the tech giant’s decision to hold its big annual book sale during Independent Bookstore Day.

"what's wrong with you?" [slaps my 100,000 word manuscript on the table] that should explain the gist of it
jfc, who are these people? there’s nothing cowardly about diy. ive been on prescribed hrt for 5 years and have researched it as a response to any potential nationwide bans or the prospect of simply losing my health insurance/job. i hope you have people who can affirm you in what you need to do
happened to me while I popped off with Dina Soul Steeper in a deck where I had Belodros Witherbloom as a commander originally. ended up gearing the deck towards Dina instead. both are amazing but i had more fun with Dina

Dug up a playlist I’d made for a character. It made me so excited to keep going; I can’t wait for the point in my first draft where my main character meets this man. I love art
