Mamdani is 💯 right. You’ve got guys dressed up as construction workers wearing masks, and you have no idea if they’re a federal agent or just a violent thug. THIS FUCKER OPENED FIRE INTO A CAR WITH A FIVE-YEAR-OLD KID IN IT! ICE needs to get the fuck out of New York City and never come back

Black text on white background 
"This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss.
 
The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government’s devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians—including more than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. That suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist, and every shipment of food aid turned away at a border crossing. Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief, and we mourn alongside them – all while knowing that our tax dollars fund these war crimes.
 
Three years later, we must refuse to accept a world in which occupation and apartheid continue, where war crimes are met with impunity, and our federal government continues its complicity with every arms shipment.
 
To honor the dead, we must fight for a world in which every person can live with freedom, safety, and dignity."

Let's talk eels & colonization! In the early 17th C. London was growing fast and needed more eels.The surrounding countryside couldn't provide enough. The Dutch importers could...but the English were nervous of the strong Dutch monopoly. So where did they look? Ireland. 1/5 🗃️🧪
Meme. Photograph of a Monopoly board game in Dutch. You're looking at the starting corner, seeing 2 squares in either direction. The directions on the square read:

Ontvang
Bij het passeren
f2000. - salaris
START

So now you know the (or at least a) Dutch word for start.

The game board is sitting on what is probably a table made of a light wood or wood substitute. You can see the grain running  left to right, or right to left. Or perhaps east to west. It's hard to tell with grain. The board itself is edged in red, but fear not. It's only red paint, not blood. A blood-edged board would be a far darker shade of red. And a far darker game, over all.

Meme text reads:
"Who wouldn't be
Nervous?"

Gloria Steinem pushed open doors not just for herself, but for literally millions of women behind her.

She wasn’t going to be an astronaut, but she made it possible for Sally Ride to be an astronaut. She wasn’t going to play college sports, but she stood behind the women in Congress who passed Title IX. And she wasn’t on the Supreme Court when Roe v. Wade was decided, but her voice and her activism was behind that advancement for women's rights. 

Gloria was, at heart, an optimist. Her activism was rooted in optimism, and that’s a moral choice she made every day. 

I want her voice to remain in our heads. It’s wonderful to do what you can to further your own future, to get the best education you can, and to pursue your dreams. But it’s even better to bring other people along with you.

The neighborhood feral cat that we adopted last year, with the crooked tail and damaged back leg I named Ojo, frolicked with a young local girl this spring. Lo and behold, kittens! Lionita's human dad tracked us down and Salvador is now part of the family. Lucky us! 🍀🤞❤️🐈‍⬛🌈

Winning the Senate to stop Trump judges and to set us up for a trifecta of the House, Senate and Presidency in 2028 is the assignment. Whatever policy differences you may have with a candidate, it’s not worth it. The lives of millions and our institutions are at stake. LOCK IN.
