Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations.

The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

this is (1) not a distraction, (2) not able to be disentangled from the military occupation of multiple us cities, and (3) the greatest threat to liberty in this country since jim crow

Trans rights are, in fact, human rights. Pass it on.

The Real Reason the Economy Might Collapse | Robert Reich
The Real Reason the Economy Might Collapse | Robert Reich Robert Reich

The rich don’t spend the money they have, and the poor don’t have money to spend.

This is a problem when 70% of the economy relies on consumer spending.

Closing our nation's wealth gap isn’t just the right thing to do. It’s essential to save our economy. https://youtu.be/S6dCh48b4oI?feature=shared

Hey folks,

Below is a place to submit your photos of Park signs.

Supposedly they’ll be whitewashed by September 17.

So now is a good time to start taking photos.

"We can't effectively carry out our core job functions if you won't let us be openly racist" is pretty much all anyone just joining us from 2003 needs to know about Immigration and Customs Enforcement

No one saw this coming, right? (Looking at you, Bill Cassidy.)

Kennedy lied his way thru his confirmation hearings so he could attain the power he needs to implement his reckless plan to undercut, if not destroy, the nation’s vaccine system.

This will cause deaths. Thank you, Trump voters.

We could have had cancer vaccines, and instead the United States will contribute nothing whatsoever to mRNA research, condemning millions of people worldwide to unnecessary illness and death

i think it is hard for some people to really their heads around the reality that kennedy is staunchly anti-vaccine and thinks that people should suffer through disease and that those who die deserved it and that those who survive are a better order of human being

I believe one of the new mRNA vaccines was expected to treat colon cancer, and another had the potential to keep pancreatic cancer from recurring. That’s what they’re taking away.

The pancreatic cancer vaccine trials have been so promising, this would have been a literal life saver for so many and now its gone. I cant tell you how heart breaking this is. Horror after horror with this administration.

The end result of this is that a bunch of cis women athletes are going to find out they're intersex.

TLDR:

we must treat boys with kindness rather than toxic masculinity

we must treat girls with kindness rather than misogyny

we can't address misogyny WITHOUT addressing toxic masculinity

or the children abused by gendered expectations grow up and pass on those gendered expectations

on and on
