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.

They are not planning "a violent crackdown" on 10.18. What they are doing is sending a signal to their shock troops to try to cause havoc. But those shock troops will be vastly outnumbered. Go out and protest freely. Do not be cowed.

Imagine believing in a hierarchy. Imagine believing the Pope is at the top of the hierarchy second only to God. Then imagine when he says to be kind to people, criticizing him. Like, this is what you believe. Stop calling yourself catholic if you don’t.

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 1d

As Pope Leo begins to reveal some of his views on divisive issues, some conservative critics of his predecessor are rejecting the possible rise of another “liberal pope.”

As Pope Leo riles conservatives, some say ‘just focus on the church’

Conservatives who hoped that Leo, the first U.S.-born pope, would be more of a traditionalist instead hear echoes of his predecessor, Francis, in his public statements.

What they don’t tell you about blood tests is the lab and everything is just for show. After you leave they give your blood to a vampire and they can tell what’s going on by taste.

Marjorie Taylor Greene on the bad advice Trump is getting: "I don't think it's good advice that Republicans ignoring the health insurance crisis is gonna be good for midterms. I actually think it's going to be very bad for midterms ... costs have not come down."

Just because Trump is an evil fuck does not make Kamala Harris a good person.

They’re all evil fucks occupying our government on behalf of the worst of humanity: billionaires.

Beautiful mosaic of Kamala Harris made out of all the black men she locked up and kept in prison past their release date for jail labor

Kamala Harris convicted almost 2,000 for marijuana violations and sent many to prison. Now she laughs at 'Kamala Kush' weed variety and says pot smokers shouldn't be jailed

Buzzfeed.

All she had to do to beat Trump was stop being complicit in genocide.

She chose to keep supporting Israel’s genocide instead.

I feel like a crazy person having to explain how this is bad and that no good person would ever commit genocide (???)

Picture of smiling Kamala in front of a huge sign that says Kamala in case her afternoon xanny makes her a little loopy and the text says ahhh Kamala Harris how this country has failed you

No it won't end apartheid or dismantle the Occupation but I still want Netanyahu in the Hague and though it may be a fool's hope, I hope to see him there.

Along with every member of his government and every western politician who supplied him.

Marjorie Taylor Greene just said the Republican Party is “getting destroyed” during this government shutdown as they refuse to protect health care.

“Everyone’s just getting destroyed... Republicans, you have no solutions... It is hurting so many people.”

I'm so sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the masked ex-Mexican Mafia guy that Jesse Watters had on his show two years ago is not the same dude who was the "antifa whistleblower" on Watters' show last week.

It's also not Rob O'Neill.

Is Fox News’ masked antifa guy also its masked Mexican Mafia guy? Here’s the truth

A Fox News spokesperson confirmed to The Independent that the two men in the separate interviews are not the same person.

Link was on my team about fighting ableist language & trying to get people to see its direct relationship to eugenics, it's hard for disabled people to try to speak on that without having support because we always get antagonism.
