Tree-hugger and stargazer. Medicare for all. Abolish ICE. Black Lives Matter. Trans lives, too. Just be kind, FFS.

I am so fucking tired of "seeking justice" being framed as "getting even." Arresting and/or impeaching people who are legitimately guilty of actual crimes is not revenge. It is justice. Innocent people should be released from detention and guilty people should be in prison. Again, that is JUSTICE.

Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, the man ICE shot on Sunday, was sent to a detention center *with a bullet still in his back.* He was reportedly given no pain medication and only sent to a hospital after losing feeling in the left side of his body. ICEโ€™s cruelty knows no bounds.

Rafael Garces Perez is in the U.S. legally, is not a criminal, and is working a job. He was shot in the back by the same cowardly taintlords who came in 4th place for a Wal-Mart loss prevention job, was denied medical care, and is being held without the Due Process required by the U.S. Constitution

Not really sure where a bunch of liberals got the idea that they canโ€™t win without throwing trans people in the garbage, but theyโ€™re stupid and cruel and wrong. If you want a human sacrifice so damned bad put gavin newsom in the wicker man

I'm Jewish and if a candidate triangulated on antisemitism to win an election, I would most certainly pressure him to do better *right now* and would hope my fellow Americans would do the same. I see no reason why our trans siblings and those who support them should demand anything different.

He should be pressured. He should do better. But he has to win the election to be in the position to be pressured.

ESPN producer: We need a second week guest who will really add energy and fun to College Gameday. Someone who the fans love. Assistant: How about Ted Cruz? ESPN producer: Yesss! I am giving you a RAISE.

โ€œEarnestness is cringeโ€ is just the mirror image of โ€œcynicism is savvyโ€ and the matching partner to โ€œlol nothing mattersโ€ which is the fertile ground for fascism to grow. Hope is cringe. Progress is cringe. Change is cringe. Getting together with other people and imagining something better? Cringe.

i also wonder if part of the backlash was that we've decided obvious earnestness is 'cringe' &, like, look at the world around you. do we like the alterative? getting back to a sane & just world will involve a lot more of things we dismiss as cringe now

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Mamdani left soccer field lights on all nightโ€ฆ..the lights usually go off at 10pm. They set a camera up and guess what they saw?? Residents playing soccer with their friends ALL NIGHT. One man said how much he loved it because his friends work late and canโ€™t get to the field before 10pm.
