A $3 @mta.info subway fare and some good Q train timing can buy you one hell of a view of the July 4th fireworks and the Brooklyn Bridge light show! Huge shoutout to the train operator for slow rolling over the Manhattan Bridge and the conductor for announcing it.

"This is oligarchy. Nearly 100 billionaires are funding Susan Collins' re-election bid." We need to stop letting billionaires buy our elections. www.commondreams.org/news/susan-c...
Headline reads: This is oligarchy. Nearly 100 billionaires are funding Susan Collins re-election bid. “While Susan Collins’ campaign is backed by billionaire donors, our campaign is built on a movement funded by the people, with an average donation of $26,” said Graham Platner’s campaign manager.

Reflecting a bit more on the Platner interview, he wants points for acknowledging he used to have an alcohol problem and was shitty to women, but the sexting allegations are recent! He was shitty to his wife recently. If she forgives him, fine, but you can't say bad behavior is ancient history!

Graham Platner trying to explain away his behavior as *living a regular life* really evokes *locker room talk* for me. The normalization of men’s abuse of women has to stop. Abusing women is not regular or normal or in any way okay. I hope this gets called out by lots and lots of people.

After a Wisconsin town did this, the mayor said: “The fact that they didn’t take the cameras down shows that we are the product. They were never really selling to us in the first place. They're selling to much bigger agencies the ability to spy on a ton of people.” (via boltsmag.org/verona-wisco...)

Anti-ICE protesters are following same nonviolent playbook used by people in war zones across the world to fight threats to their communities
Americans are learning and doing the kind of work that civilians in war zones worldwide have done for decades: dealing with threats by organizing to help protect their neighbors and communities.
