hey chat, why does Gavin Newsom suck
I’m not from California. You give no information on why he has earned such venomous words.You keep repeating -we should not bow to him, but we need to have facts data… Non-Californians are not gonna do the research.

Californians are NOT going to vote for Gavin Newsom. They're telling you now, with YEARS to go before the election. Fair warning. Please support better candidates, there will be many to choose from.

This is legitimately fantastic. Shut it down!
Last night, The Minneapolis Federation of Educators Local 59 signed on to the call for a Jan 23 shutdown. That brings total labor support to: the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 1005, SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, CWA Local 7250, St. Paul Federation of Educators Local 28, and the MFE 59
Unions and community orgs are calling for a Minnesota-wide shutdown in 10 days to protest the ferocious assault by federal immigration agents. They're saying on Jan 23, no work, no school, no shopping. SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, & others are supporting, w/ more to join. By me, Amie Stager

A barely altered play on "Which Way Western Man?" a foundational white nationalist text arguing Jews, racial mixing & equality are destroying society. DHS prev tweeted in August. It required no interpretation, but the media's role was to pretend it was a Rorschach test and help surface WH denials.

It's times like these that I look to the words of the French national anthem, written in the wake of horrible abuses of the people, by the powerful, for inspiration.
A protester is currently lying in a hospital bed with a piece of shrapnel in his neck 7mm from his carotid artery.
While he lay bleeding on the pavement, blinded in his left eye, gasping for air, agents did not call a medic. They dragged him and sneered: "You're going to lose your eye."

Your regular reminder that Third Way has been a fascist front from the start and deserves the gallows as much as any goose-stepping ICE scumbag.
ICE may be shooting people in the face, sending people to concentration camps, and illegally occupying our cities but, apparently, the Democrats think saying, "abolish ICE" is "emotional" and politically "lethal."

The fascists will lose. Theirs is a machine that always eats itself; the only question is how much damage and how many lives will be lost in the meantime. We must not let them create a lost generation of queer people. We cannot let them stuff us back in a closet. Even if it's scary.

Hopefully this is just a precursor the return of the local indie theater showing movies people actually cared enough to make.
