Some personal news!

I’ve been accepted to FIT’s MFA Fashion Design program starting in the fall.

I hope that people are talking to Ayanna Pressley about running.

Markey could lose or he could kick off during the campaign, and having one of MA’s senate seats locked up by the John Fetterman of Marblehead would be a disaster.
I’ve never seen a race where I think Massachusetts loses in either scenario

Anyone working for ICE needs to be frozen out of American society forever.

If they hate this country so much that they’ll go to war against it, then they can leave.

Videos taken by eye witnesses of federal agent encounters with immigrants in Chicago and elsewhere have shown increasingly tense incidents. Immigrant advocates and observers say they're indicative of a larger trend of aggression among federal immigration officers.

Frankly, I’m shocked that Trump actually thought he might get a Nobel Prize. I thought he was just gassing himself up this whole time.

What a bonkers thing to think!
In a sane and just world where the police actually served and protected the public, local cops would be patrolling immigrant communities and arresting ICE agents for assault and kidnapping.
Imagine what he’ll be like when he’s tried for crimes against humanity.

We can’t out-Republican Republicans, nor should we want to.

Democrats need to say what they believe — and actually believe in something.

Shouldn’t need to be said, but murdering random fishermen in international waters is absolutely political violence, which I’m told we all abhor.
I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were
JFC. I use this public bathroom all the time because a) it’s right in between my home, work, school, and the Garment District, and b) I drink a ton of water all day.

No more I guess. Stay safe out there. I hope someone sues.
While NYPD officers are bound by New York City’s sanctuary city policies, Amtrak Police are federal officers who do not have to abide by those protections even when working inside of the city.

Federal law enforcement turned a person they arrested in the transit hub directly over to ICE.

This 1899 ad for men’s corsets is real, and it’s spectacular.

It’s like, “I’ve got it! We’ll butch up the corset by naming them all after British Field Marshals!!”
Liberalism has *always* been “of the left.”

The left-right spectrum analogy was literally invented to describe liberal revolutionaries vs. defenders of the status quo.
Screenshot of a New Yorker interview that reads:

“Question: Liberalism refers to many things. What liberalism are you talking about in the book?

“This is not liberalism of the left, and not liberalism of the neoliberal sort associated with a particular set of right-wing views, but instead a commitment to freedom, pluralism, and the rule of law. That’s the holy trinity of the liberal tradition.”
“Ambient glitter is a sign of a life well lived” is a thing I say to my partner before he can get upset about all the ambient glitter I produce in the apartment.
I love that I just can’t order fabric and supplies from abroad because of tariff insanity.

Such winning. So much freedom.

Fashion supply chains are international and very long. Always have been. That’ll never change.

We’re not going to grow a meaningful silk industry here in a year, or even ten.

For anyone who needs to hear this, by virtue of being a “human being” with “empathy” and a concern for “the dignity of others,” well, I regret to inform you that you are and always have been a part of antifa.
These people died from political violence, but it was white collar violence so no one kicks up much fuss.
Latest projection suggests that more than 505,000 adults and kids have died due to USAID's illegal dismantling by Musk, Rubio, and Lewin

TFW you realize that the Trump administration is far more dangerous to far more Americans than the Chinese government.
After years of bipartisan warnings about TikTok’s potential national security risks, users may soon confront a different kind of threat, perhaps even worse: an algorithm “controlled by America.”

This is what we need from elected officials -- a commitment to stand up for their constituents and, just as important, a willingness to tell right-wing trolls to get bent.
Right wing crazies want me arrested because they know I won't back down. Too bad.
This is exactly the kind of energy Democrats running for Congress need.

Anyone not willing to literally fight should step aside for someone who will.
This is what it looks like when ICE violates our First Amendment rights.
Trump has crossed like 7 of my red lines for leaving the country.

Every time i hope it’s going to be a tipping point that gets people out into the streets. But that keeps not happening.
Instagram used to be for mainlining fomo, body dysmorphia, and imposter syndrome, but with the news as bad as it is it now it feels like pure escapism.
Turns out letting six billionaires own all the nation’s media wasn’t a great idea.

Removing information about racial discrimination from the signage at Harper's Ferry because it might "disproportionately emphasize negative aspects of U.S. history or historical figures."
At Harpers Ferry, staff flagged more than 30 signs, according to a person familiar with the matter and documents reviewed by The Post, that highlight information potentially in violation of Trump’s policy. They include signs referring to racial discrimination and the hostility of white people to people who were formerly enslaved.
