Oh, absolutely. Dems at every level. They want to be "leaders"? Then hey damn well need to LEAD, instead of cowering behind excuses.

But the party apparatus is mostly invested in defending members of Congress and prez candidates, so it's tme for them all to step up.

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.

Every single Dem senator and rep from Illinois should be putting their bodies on the line at Broadview and elsewhere.

Every single Dem senator and rep from Oregon should be putting their bodies on the line in Portland.

Y'all want the perks. THIS IS THE WORK.

Stop flogging something long since dead, and start defending the people being assaulted, abducted, illegally renditioned, and worse.

This is full-on fascism, and y'all are trying to pretend it's 1998.

You have work to do, and this ain't it.

Me, too! I mean, it's all relative; they weren't cheap. But for that age/quality, normally? It was still a fantastic bargain.

Aren't those amazing? I found them from a vendor who gets a lot of stuff from estate sales, and I snagged him a small strand of those big AAA-grade ones for practically a song.

The constant struggle between my anti-carceral beliefs and this country’s need to chase down white collar crime like CBS cops chasing a straggly serial killer who leaves rhyming clues and just offed beloved number 4 on the call sheet.

Nevada could’ve fined Elon Musk’s Boring Co. more than $3 million, but regulators are seeking a reduced penalty of $242,800, citing an “extraordinary number of violations.”

A key part of a culture of genocidal logic is whether people's emergencies are treated as something to be addressed or something to laugh at or invite punishment on top of.

Genocide can be stopped if enough people refuse to go along.

"if" and "enough" are the key words here.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

And we just need sales.

Period.

There is literally nothing else right now, despite everyone else insisting I focus on whatever they want.

I can't. Until year's end, this is it.

Also? It's a chance to score some absolutely extraordinary one-of-a-kind Indigenous wearable [and other] art, in styles you won't see anywhere else.

And I REALLY need to bring in multiple sales weekly now for us just to break even on the year.
