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.

I’m sure the New York Times will run an editorial talking about why this is bad for Biden‘s legacy.

La Niña has reemerged in the eastern Pacific, a climate pattern that typically drives dry winters across the U.S. Southwest. Last winter's weak La Niña helped push Southern California into drought, and experts say it could be even more dramatic this year.

This @BarackObama tweet will be taught in genocide studies courses as a case study of what dehumanization looks like.

Imagine returning home to this after everything they have already been through.

Imagine doing this to other human beings essentially for sport.

Overnight, Israeli troops carried out a large-scale campaign of setting fire to huge amount of civilian homes and infrastructure before families returned to it in northern Gaza.

It appears to have been the most extensive mass arson operation since the genocide began

When asked if she's seen those pics, AG Pam Bondi wouldn't say "No!"

And litigious Trump hasn't sued Wolff for defamation

Did she somehow miss the news that he is gunning down people in boats and ripping them out of apartments in Chicago? In LA. And anywhere else they feel like it. Jesus Christ.
