You cannot be fucking serious

Free healthcare to all residents of the US regardless of immigration status would rule, actually. Universal benefits for universal problems (having a body that can get sick or hurt)

A great way to turn the temp down here as @jay.bsky.team @pfrazee.com and @aaron.bsky.team want would be to stop communicating site policies and practices with individual users or on their timelines and hire a comms person who is a professional communicator to do all the front facing interaction.

I will never vote for this man. I'm just going to say that right now

Would be pretty cool to reestablish norms where national politicians don’t feel comfortable using words like “cleansing.”

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

No real beef with the gist of this, but I am so, so sick of tongue-clucking about “division.” We have a president waging a “war within” (his own words!) against domestic urban populations. That had damn well better be divisive.

Cities with high “crime rates” are resource deprived cities populated by marginalized communities. They’re often poor, have limited access to social safety nets, and are over-policed.

If Dems win in 2026, we need hearings to publicize the abuses by federal law enforcement. Then pass a bill creating a path to sue for those abuses. Trump will veto it. Let him. Let the public see these videos & hear from victims, & then learn there's no way to hold the abusive officers accountable.

👇. This!!!

And cops. Dems have massively expanded police funding and Cop Cities despite massive human rights protest over daily murders.

We wouldn’t be here without the Democrats enshitification over the last generation.

We need progressive leadership that is actually progressive and not beholden to capitalism.

THIS!!!

Why?

Isn’t it enough that people are struggling to survive? Just surviving in public is too much for some people to handle. Go struggle someplace where I don’t have to look at you. Because on some level they need to feel superior, like it could never happen to them.

Try compassion, humanity.

Consumer-facing "A.i." is controlled by rightwing billionaires with an interest in spreading disinfo. Excise it from your lives, friends. It's trash.

Anyway good morning and fuck Gavin Newsom because if he were an actually decent person he’d sign the 8 LGBTQ+ protection bills (5 are trans specific!!) on his desk that are collecting dust into state law and guess what! He hasn’t!

Just bc a feckless toadying Treasury Department removed a webpage that discusses that law does not, in fact, repeal that law.

Why can we never frame Trump’s decision to break the law as “Trump says he’ll break the law”? It’s not hard!

The police were never going to protect you from fascism. They are literally designed to protect the wealth classes property, and catch slaves. That is their history. That is the reality of what police have always been they will not stop fascism as fascism has always been a part of their history.

We don’t have to live this way.

We don’t have to accept paramilitary policing as the default.

Where the fuck is Pritzker as ICE terrorizes the whole of Chicago today? Helicopters and cars everywhere. Invading hospitals. Gassing grocery stores. Why is he sending state cops to protect ICE rather than using every possible resources to throw ICE the fuck out of Illinois?

State police assisted ICE in the performative brutalization and arrest of protesters today. @govpritzker.illinois.gov must answer for this.

Turns out running on democracy doesn't work when the image of democracy you're trying to sell is basically all the horrible shit that led to it being threatened in the first place.

also like taking 3 years to indict the guy who did a coup live on television probably hurts the message. were you just incompetent or are you exaggerating the threat? there isn’t really good answer for why this grave threat is free at all, let alone allowed to run again

Let's help.
