The bi-partisan commitment to genocide should've also been a warning sign.

Sen. Martin Heinrich: “Remember when Republicans said we couldn't afford those tax credits for your healthcare?

Now they’re burning through almost a billion dollars a day on their Iran War”

To think MAGA was out here clutching pearls over whether someone might buy candy, cookies, or soda with food assistance, while so many bigger issues go untouched.

It is well past time for a new Luddite movement. I am absolutely a Luddite. If the working class isn't enjoying the same increase in quality of life that capitalists are from tech advances, burn down the technology. We will NOT be displaced for profits we don't share in.

It is absolutely WILD for anyone in reflection of the past to say "Let me be Henry Kissinger for a sec" when he is now one of the most reviled people in history and rightly so. I know people like Hilary still love him, but at least she has the good sense to mostly shut the fuck up about it.

(& before you talk about "New Testament Christians," pls understand that Jesus was drawing here from what you might call "the Old Testament" [Hebrew Scriptures]: "For I was hungry & you gave me something to eat... I was a stranger and you invited me in" etc, & then maybe read this ⬇️)

Heh. He was, indeed, influenced heavily by samurai film. Forget the name of the movie he basically stole IV from, but still, he saw a potential for a deep allegory to US action buried in space pew-pew & launched a franchise that is inspirational to revolutionaries everywhere. He gets *some* cred. 😄

This. George is a visionary. He is NOT a script writer. So very much not a script writer.

You'll be thankful one day if you and/or a loved one has a mobility disability, even temporarily. Don't blame the stops for the fact that CTA needs to be better at and more honest about predicting timing of routes. And that they need more buses and drivers generally. Hopefully soon with NITA though.

I can reliably say that people care what you think, my friend. I'm always grateful for how beautifully you use your voice to make Good Trouble. Never ever stop please. 💜

Fine is still an uncomfortable third, but thankfully, it looks like it's narrowing to @danielbiss.bsky.social & @katmabu.bsky.social as most likely. I have a slight preference for Kat for the way she's run her campaign, but Daniel is a friend & I won't be sad if he wins. Just no Fine/AIPAC please.

Honestly surprised it took so long.

My only quibble with Heather is the current era of wealth inequality started with Reagan in 1981 as shown by every economic study ever. But it's certainly accelerated in the last 30... even moreso in the last 15... & will be even worse still as HR1 plays out. Really it's been downhill for a while.

People cant afford health care. People cant afford food. People cant afford rent.

But we set money on fire for these bourgeoisie monsters who take joy in hurting others and bombing boats and buildings like children and green army men.

People cant afford food or healthcare.

To be fair, I wouldn't want to talk to the Slumlord-in-Chief about housing either. Nothing good would ever come of it.

A blonde and white dog looks around as a woman and kid sit on nearby steps overlooking Lake Michigan with a gorgeous view of the horizon.

Days like today are a big reason I love Chicago.

May his memory be a blessing. 💜

Illinois will absolutely be pulling a self-own if this man wins.

He's been spinning this stupid lie for a while now.

We need to be supporting his primary opponent right now. Let's get him not just out of leadership but out of a job. No complicit reps should keep their seats. Not a single one.

Censure him. Demand he be stripped of all committee assignments. Fight for consequences.

I'm all for its inclusion in international law, but we need a Congress that will make international law mean something. Ask candidates for office this midterm of they would bring the US under the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court.

This isn't war. It's a crusade. It's expanding the genocide beyond Palestine to the entire Middle East. What else can you call destroying a school for girls, turning the skies of Tehran black from bombing an oil refinery, annihilating hospitals, obliterating desalination plants? The signs are clear.

The existence of Fox News is incompatible with our democracy

Marco Rubio hanging out with Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio at the "Shield of the Americas" event, in case you were still thinking it had some sort of legitimate purpose

YOU CAN FIGHT ICE BY ANNOYING THEM - MESS UP THEIR FOOD/DRINK ORDERS - LOSE THEIR TICKETS/RESERVATIONS - OVERTIGHTEN LUG NUTS, STRIP SPARK PLUGS - GIVE THEM INCORRECT BUT REAL-SOUNDING INFORMATION - RECORD THEM WITH YOUR PHONES - DISRUPT THEM WITH LOUD NOISES (CAR ALARMS, MUSIC, BANGING METAL) AND BRIGHT LIGHTS (FLASHLIGHTS, HEADLIGHTS) - SHAME THEM Fuck yeah THE FASCISTS WANT COMPLACENCY. DO NOT GIVE IT TO THEM. Fuck them White supremacist IT IS YOUR RIGHT TO MAKE «MISTAKES"

Monkey wrenching is such an under appreciated form of protest

Trump refusing to sign any bills until Congress passes the SAVE Act is a good thing. Let's hope he holds to it and Congress grinds to a halt. The best thing in a fascist government is for it to stop functioning.

Massachusetts Unseals Records of Abuse of Disabled People in State Institutions The state is baring the history of generations of disabled people and the violence many faced while institutionalized.

Mask-off corporate bootlicking that causes these fucks to junk the most vulnerable members of their audience at the first sign of resistance aside:

Hold him to account.
