Do you want to know what it feels like to have real representation in your government? Like a real young person who knows what the internet is and has been dealing with far right wingers online for years, holds firm progressive values, supports Palestine, and loves immigrants?

In my opinion, one nation for 2 peoples is the only humane solution.

This is the closest I've seen any candidate or elected official has gotten to that ideal. And there's no one else to support but kat if we on the left want to eventually see that goal.

Finally, as a Palestinian-American, I sincerely hope that this is the first step on the long road to liberty for my people. I have faith — no, I know — that one day, our two peoples will look back and say this was a dark chapter in our shared history, as one.

and i mean nazis and zionists and shit too, this has to be universal. and we have to believe in the ability to change people through education and outreach and a new system where people's needs are met!

Deportation is bad. Full fucking stop. No forced migration, ever. People should be able to live where they want.

from the inbox:

masked federal agents yesterday evening dragged a person out of their car and tackled them in the street outside uic.

a handful of other agents looked on, at least one carrying an apparent rifle.

at the end of the clip, the person can be heard screaming, “help! help me! help!”

Hey wrestlingsky, I'm teaching a storytelling class and I need a good example of a wrestling match with some excellent storytelling throughout the fighting. Any good examples would be wonderful. I can think of a few but would like some more to examine. Thank you!

here's the thing, netanyahu needs the conflict to keep continuing because his ass is on the line for all the war crimes, and he's even up for prosecution in his own country. While I am cautiously optimistic Palestinian lives can be spared in this cease fire deal, I just don't trust him

Gavin Newsom has the biggest Used Car Salesman energy I've literally ever seen. The most untrustworthy face.

artists on spotify who don't like showing their face may want to at least have a real photo on their profile so that people know you're a real human being

Ellis getting into her concerns over plainclothes agents.

She says she's willing to give some leeway to "undercover" officers, but says other agents, including those doing crowd control at protests, need to have ID that "identifies them numerically and by agency."

to be clear, the first person is roughly correct, the second person is insane

Zoyya @helashandproductions.com · 20h

pretty annoying to have to check every artist on spotify to see if it's AI or not but it's better than accidentally getting tricked. some of these are getting frighteningly good, but there are still oddnesses about them that can't be masked.

At the Broadview ICE detention center outside Chicago this afternoon, things are (relatively) calm.

A vet-organized protest is planned for 4-6pm. After 6, curfew is in place.

Masked agents enter the building. ~1 month ago we would've been able to photograph them from Beach St, but not anymore.

No one should sleep on Faouzia. One of the best voices in pop music right now, genuinely. Just incredible control and power.
