Sixty-two years ago today, the FBI uncovered the bodies of James Chaney, Andrew Goodman & Michael Schwerner in Neshoba County. We honor their courage by refusing to take that freedom for granted & recognizing our responsibility to protect our right to vote & ensure every voice is heard.

Tucson Council meeting Wed 8/5, 5:30pm! The docs from the planning process are here: bit.ly/cot-dc-zoning. Most relevant are Ordinance 12268, (what they'll vote on), and Attachment G, the map which shows us where it'll be possible for developers to apply for with the new regulations in place.⁩

That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

The WNBA has never had a trans woman play in the league’s 30-year history and now the right and other anti-trans activists are hammering the league over something that has never been an issue, proving once again it isn’t about protection but exhibiting cruelty toward trans people.

When my wife did chemo and radiation, she would go outside once or twice a day and shed the hair as it all fell out. Today, seven months later, we just found a nest a bird (likely a wren) made out of her hair.

If I had a rupee for every time I have been called anti-national (including by Hindutva Americans who couldn’t wait to give up their passports and are baffled I haven’t done so) I could probably retire lol. Great to see that charge finally losing all meaning.

I think Occupy really radicalized me. Already the recession had greatly disillusioned me & I was in my early 20s & Occupy sealed it w/BLM shortly after. I think Occupy was a significant shift for millenials.

Troy Davis' death at the hands of the state on Sept. 21, 2011, transformed Occupy and kindled Black Lives Matter.

I remain surprised how few people credit Occupy Wall Street's ongoing impact(s) on U.S. politics. There's no Mamdani without Occupy etc... [some people are also irrationally anti-Occupy but that's for another day]

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal.

I just read something on my phone that said it’s only Tuesday??

Whats worse... A single Democratic loss in a statewide race to a right-wing governor? Or a Democratic Party win in Ohio that uses transphobia to get there, teaching dems across the country that this is a new acceptable tactic? The latter results in no party left to fight for us.

I understand your disappointment but why do you want to undermine the Democrat in this race? You think Ramaswamy will have your back? These purity tests are what gave us trump and his Supreme Court.

That was very much not the midfield foot to the chest from 2010. Like the opposite.
