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.

Cops put this woman in solitary for three days on the strength of Flock "evidence" that she had killed people in a hit and run. Her car, meanwhile, had zero visible damage. But cops told her the "damage" was consistent with the accident. They believed Flock over their own eyes.

Exactly. The best predictor of an organised anti trans movement happening is if gay marriage is legalised. Here in Australia one anti gay marriage org immediately changed to an anti trans one.

🦇 You want a real compromise from trans people? Promise to restore all the rights we had in 2014 that we don't today. That's it. Just bring us back to where we were. That's the bare fucking minimum. You know what I don't see any libs offering us? The rights that have been taken from us restored.

I just honestly can't get over that Save Women Sports, an anti-trans group could only find five trans athletes competing K through 12. Five. The NCAA president testified a year and a half ago or so that there were less than 10 college level trans athletes. What the fuck are we doing, people

it's depressing that the noblogs takedown was both an overt attack on internet privacy as part of the broader attempts to de-anonymize & surveil the internet AND an overreach of american power (unilaterally overruling international sovereignty) & no non-anarchists had anything to say about it

I do think that the relentless focus on electoral politics has also warped ideas of organizing on other fronts. The model's not electoral campaigns under gentry management, it's asymmetric conflict in a dying empire. Cohesiveness, solidarity and determination matter a lot more than "big tents."

Trans rights is inherently a bodily autonomy issue. Just like abortion rights is. We can't have gender equity or reproductive freedom without trans rights. Full stop. You can yell at me and make up shit that you claim I've said if it makes you feel better. I don't care. I'm right. And you know it.

You don't need to convince me that voting the lesser evil is the logical choice for people to make. You need to understand that your logic has overwhelmingly lost elections. If your goal is to win elections, "we're not as good as the other guy" just doesn't cut it. It's imperative they do better.

underrated part of El-Sayed’s messaging strategy seems to be shaming journalists who ask dumb questions that play into right-wing frames. you can’t answer these in a way that satisfies them, but you can make it embarrassing enough that you impose a toll on asking.

Conservatives have spent YEARS talking about how immigrants need to assimilate. I kids spilling their beer, wearing burnt orange and overalls and cowboys hats at a football game. I guarantee you they got drunk as hell after. Nothing is more American than that. This is just rank racism.

"We're tired of being called racist for being super fucking racist" is, in fact, an accurate representation of conservative thinking. They want all their ugly instincts & prejudices but they don't want any social disapprobation for them.
