Maine is in absolute outrage! Protesters took over Senator Susan Collins’ office chanting "VOTE HER OUT" after an ICE thug brutally executed a 26-year-old Colombian man. They are demanding immediate accountability for this state-sponsored murder! Enough is enough!

Rooting for Z (and don't want to argue with God), but on the parks budget: while much better than Eric Adams' budgets, it's far from fully funded. Read @ny4p.bsky.social's statement on the latest budget for good parks funding info—and on this issue, follow NY4P's lead. www.ny4p.org/news/stateme...

Join an organization. Start your own. And commit for the long haul.
Too much talk these days of honoring revolutionary queer and trans elders without committing to their revolutionary politics and organizing.
Pride is a Protest! On Wednesday, we picketed three hospitals that abandoned trans youth and their families. If hospitals can cut off one group of patient's care due to political attacks, they can cut off anyone.
NYU Langone pulled out of marching tomorrow at @nycpride.bsky.social due to community pressure. Mount Sinai is still scheduled too march. ny1.com/nyc/manhatta...
NYC Pride weekend begins amid march controversy

We are disappointed @nycpride.bsky.social did not taken a stronger stance in line with community demands and the families of trans youth. Allowing them to march provides cover for the harm they’ve caused and fails to hold them accountable.

Like many people who have worked in politics for decades, I am baffled and upset to see candidates who say they are going to try to make things better defeating candidates who say they are trying to make it more or less like it was in the years before things tipped over into Oaf-Style Fascism.
went down to the centrist convention. they’re all shaking and crying, I heard one guy say “I’m starting to think a better world IS possible.” the lady next to him slapped him in the face
Two years after Darializa Avila Chevalier took part in the Gaza solidarity encampment at Columbia University, she is now set to represent the district in which the university is located in Congress.
