be more like the mayor of boston
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 administrationβs 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 rich donβt spend the money they have, and the poor donβt have money to spend.
This is a problem when 70% of the economy relies on consumer spending.
Closing our nation's wealth gap isnβt just the right thing to do. Itβs 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 theyβll 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 nationβs 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. Thatβs what theyβre taking away.
Generational public health sabotage
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.
This is the spirit of Los Angeles.
This is California.
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

NYC Mass Shooting Was Nearly Impossible to Prevent, Experts Say
Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.
Great pages. Beautiful thoughts.
The end result of this is that a bunch of cis women athletes are going to find out they're intersex.
the simplest I can put all this:

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
