this is an astounding news moment but it’s even more astonishing to me that society at large seems to believe that biden was president in 2019 and 2020 and not trump. not sure what’s going on with that

I will never, ever vote for Gavin Newsom. Ever, under any circumstances. I don't care if he becomes the Dem nominee, he's still not getting my vote.

I will never, ever, under any circumstances vote for Rahm Emanuel. Ever.

If it took 8 days to build a massive concentration camp in Florida then it means they could build and house the homeless at any point but choose not to

For context, the public library budget in Chicago is $122 million--or about $5 million less than what CPD overspent on personnel alone.

There's this good, amazing, redemptive version of the future that's entirely within reach if we can just get the oppressive forces trying to choke it away off us for good--

Or at least stave them off for another few chapters--

But it will take all of us, together (solidarity is the only way home)

Don’t worry, if zohran wins the primary and Cuomo tries to run in the general as an independent the DNC will see this as a dangerous attempt to subvert the will of the party and crucify Cuomo publicly

I haven’t been this invested in an election I couldn’t vote in since Bush vs Gore. I put a bumper sticker on my door (I think I got it at school?) and my mom got mad and tore it down. Let’s hope this works out better than that one! (Stolen)

LETTER: Mayor Brandon Johnson, tell the Chicago police to stand down β€’ The TRiiBE If any police are on duty while Trump’s agents attempt to attack Chicagoans, it’s their duty to face and direct all their force towards the real outside agitators: ICE.

In this letter to Mayor Brandon Johnson, one Police District Councilor writes that he needs to reign in the police department while protestors fight Trump’s fascist orders.

It is true. ICE would still be brutalizing immigrants, cops would still be rioting, Israel would still be committing atrocities with our money, capitalism would still be destroying the planet - but they would indeed be at brunch.

Pure cowardice.

Children’s hospital of Los Angeles has a moral and ethical obligation to provide care. This goes against their professional obligation to patients.

Greta Thunberg being interviewed

Greta Thunberg being interviewed

Reporter: How did the Israelis treat you, we saw them giving sandwiches?
Greta Thunberg: They probably have posted lots of
PR stunts, they did an illegal act by kidnapping us in international waters but that's not the real story here.
The real story is the genocide in Gaza and systematic starvation.
Reporter: Are you worried about the others?
Greta: Yes...l'm calling for everyone who can to mobilize to demand their immediate release and, of course, to demand not only humanitarian aid being let into Gaza but also a ceasefire and most importantly an end to the occupation, an end to the systemic oppression and violence that Palestinians are facing on an everyday basis.
Reporter: "Why do you think so many countries and governments around the world are just ignoring what's happening in Gaza?"
Greta Thunberg: "Because of racism."

The threat being made here by Mayor Bass is explicit. The Mayor of LA is effectively saying the mob violence is caused by the mere presence of ICE in the city and the violence against ICE will not stop unless federal law enforcement is withdrawn from the city. This is the definition of insurrection. LA and CA leadership demand the right to illegally import unlimited foreigners into America, to control America's entire immigration policy by fiat β€” and if they are not so permitted they will allow mobs to target ICE with impunity.
Los Angeles and California are demanding the nullification of the election results, of federal law, of national sovereignty, and of the bedrock constitutional command of one national government.

Stephen Miller is redefining what an insurrection is and making up fairytales like β€œCalifornia is demanding the nullification of election results.”

He’s seemingly just making shit up now.
