I would love to place a moratorium on arguments about whether or not events are "unprecedented." A thing does not have to be *unprecedented* for us to be off the map of our experience, or for solutions that were applied in a different era to be ill-suited (or worth considering).
you do not have to hand it to tucker carlson or marjorie taylor greene or alex jones or megyn kelly. they're all rats who see trump as a sinking ship and they're getting ready to jump in preparation for their next act. you do not have to fall for it.
You may just be learning about @propublica.org's union bustery, but it's been *2 years, 8 months, and 5 days since the the union was recognized*
Worse, given the incredible work of holding the current admin account by their employees, its OBSCENE they won't even accept basic just cause protections!
Very good video that adds some important context to the Supreme Court stuff from yesterday
sending ICE to airports is meant as an act of intimidation. whether it’s well-planned or not, whether they’re masked or not, whether they’re trained or not—as with ICE anywhere, ICE will do whatever ICE can get away with, until they don’t
Two ceramic pigs labeled "pigs with no specific duties"
Every picture of ICE agents in airports is just this again
this is what happens when you let this much wealth and power concentrate in the hands of so few people
nobody wants any of this but them and they’re the only ones who get a vote
Incredibly funny that the president of the United States can do this and retain command of the American Armed Forces, but I said it about a literal Nazi and got fired from a job writing superhero comics.
the media is now telling people to work from home to save on gasoline, immediately after their years-long crusade to tell us why returning to office is best for everyone. this isn't a gotcha, it's an example of how contradicting demands allow the ruling class to blame us no matter what we do
This is true & good, and/but, probs a notable reason for this is Chavez has been dead for over 30 years and so does not currently hold positions of power & influence
People shouldn't feel bad about previously admiring someone when they didn't know about the terrible harms that person committed, but we should challenge ourselves to consider how pedestalizing and prioritizing the legacies of charismatic leaders can create harmful dynamics. That can be addressed.
So much love and solidarity to Ana Murguia, Debra Rojas, Dolores Huerta, and every other survivor. Chavez was just a man; women like them, then and now, are the true heroes of the farmworkers’ movement.
using public office to name and shame evil landlords into submission is so cool. i hope democrats learn from him
YOU DID IT!! YOU SAVED HIM!!! LETS GOOOOOOOO
House lawmaker and UN experts are calling for an “immediate” investigation into the strike on an elementary school in Minab, Iran, that massacred 175 people, mostly children, as a growing body of evidence suggests that U.S. forces were responsible for the strike.
second time this year already I’ve stayed up too late and had to try to go to sleep while we’re bombing a country for no reason
Hate it here!!
so we went from war on anthropic to war on iran in a matter of hours
Dudes rock
The richest man owns X.
The second and third richest men control Google.
The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.
And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.
See the problem here?
That’s a pretty disgustingly sexist thing to say about a young woman politician. Rethink and apologize?
Never forget who Trump governs for.

Proposed cuts to libraries, parks, CUNY, housing + health, while keeping NYPD + Corrections intact; proposed real property tax increases disproportionately affecting Black owners + most tenants; homeless encampment sweeps.
Why is Z proposing these regressive measures, and how best can we respond? 🧵
are you telling me that an American catholic pundit of dubious politics found it easier to conjure empathy for a purely hypothetical child rather than an actually existing one
Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.
Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.
I’ll believe it when I hear it from the people who live there.
