Sometimes I believe that we will get through this for something better because we are yearning to take care of each other.

there are going to be a lot of stories in the next couple weeks about the generosity of ordinary people in helping their fellow Americans and all of them will be wonderful and none of them should be necessary

we don’t have to have a government this cruel and capricious

It's extremely expensive to be poor and poverty is also more likely to beat a person down for multiple reasons than to make them more politically radical.

1. AOC scathingly rebuked anti-trans activist Riley Gaines Monday in the form of a single sentence.

"Maybe if you channeled all this anger into swimming faster you wouldn’t have come in fifth."

Its part of a new wave of Dems being fearless on trans rights.

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker.

And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows.

No more.

It's hard to overstate how fully engaged Chicago and the surrounding suburbs are in this ICE madness. There are neighborhood watch alerts, spontaneous crowds gathering outside schools at pick up & drop off plus madly blowing whistles and honking car horns, this city is fighting back and hard.

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.

This distraction angle is always funny, as if there are masterminds in that administration playing 4-D chess. They’re getting away with everything because this country doesn’t have real checks and balances. He’s not distracting anyone with his crude behavior. He’s just like that.
