#CostOfTrumpsCorruption Imagine being so sure voters would hate your plan that you hide it until Nov. 4th. That’s reportedly the deal on abortion pills, mail delivery, even travel across state lines. You’ve got a ballot and a few weeks. Be the surprise they didn’t plan for. #ReproductiveJustice

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

Ridiculous how Alito compares catholics living in the US today to persecuted catholics who were living in Tudor England. This man is all about fear mongering, hate and enabling fascism. At the end of the day this particular court will be remembered in the history books as disgraceful and corrupt.

Men have no idea how angry women are. No clue the rage. It's not just Cornell. It's Cornell, the Epstein files, and Giselle Pelicot, it's the rape academy and motherless. It's the girl raped at LSU, the girl carrying the mattress she was raped on, and pregnant girls in ICE detention centers. It's Donald Trump, Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh, it's women who are carrying dead fetuses and can't abort until her life is in danger. It's Al porn, nuditying and deep-fakes. It's men yelling about false accusations, it's #metoo and it's #iamjanedoe. Change is coming and there is no man alive who is going to be able to stop it historyofwomen.substack.com/

There's a brand new image from JWST and it's beautiful. Stars are being born here.
From the source: "A young star cluster filled with many stars that display Webb’s unique eight-pronged diffraction pattern. At its center is a yellow star which sports the largest diffraction pattern. To the left of the star, there is a region filled with yellow dust and gas that extends from the star to the left border of the image. This yellow region extends from the bottom, covering about two-thirds of the image. The yellow region has several blue stars of different sizes embedded within. The top third, which lies outside of the yellow region, holds a few bright protostars, within dense gray gas. Those stars illuminate the gas, making it appear blue. A few red outflows from other protostars are visible above this grayish-blue region. To the right of the central star, there is a clumpy, flame-like plume of red dust and gas with protostars that emit a soft white light within. The plume is surrounded by more dense gray gas and dust. There are several background galaxies strewn throughout the image."

One surprising thing from the Trump era is the level of cowardness and capitulation exhibited by institutions of power. Even in the face of evidence that pushback works and that the law is on their side, they continue to fall in line. It's a stain that will be hard to erase from history.
