this is an astounding news moment but it’s even more astonishing to me that society at large seems to believe that biden was president in 2019 and 2020 and not trump. not sure what’s going on with that

For context, the public library budget in Chicago is $122 million--or about $5 million less than what CPD overspent on personnel alone.

There's this good, amazing, redemptive version of the future that's entirely within reach if we can just get the oppressive forces trying to choke it away off us for good-- Or at least stave them off for another few chapters-- But it will take all of us, together (solidarity is the only way home)

Don’t worry, if zohran wins the primary and Cuomo tries to run in the general as an independent the DNC will see this as a dangerous attempt to subvert the will of the party and crucify Cuomo publicly (Unrelated?) Side note: I have a brain injury which removed my ability to learn from experience

LETTER: Mayor Brandon Johnson, tell the Chicago police to stand down • The TRiiBE

If any police are on duty while Trump’s agents attempt to attack Chicagoans, it’s their duty to face and direct all their force towards the real outside agitators: ICE.

It is true. ICE would still be brutalizing immigrants, cops would still be rioting, Israel would still be committing atrocities with our money, capitalism would still be destroying the planet - but they would indeed be at brunch.

Stephen Miller is redefining what an insurrection is and making up fairytales like “California is demanding the nullification of election results.” He’s seemingly just making shit up now.

The threat being made here by Mayor Bass is explicit. The Mayor of LA is effectively saying the mob violence is caused by the mere presence of ICE in the city and the violence against ICE will not stop unless federal law enforcement is withdrawn from the city. This is the definition of insurrection. LA and CA leadership demand the right to illegally import unlimited foreigners into America, to control America's entire immigration policy by fiat — and if they are not so permitted they will allow mobs to target ICE with impunity.
Los Angeles and California are demanding the nullification of the election results, of federal law, of national sovereignty, and of the bedrock constitutional command of one national government.

Johnathan Joss died a hero. He was murdered for being gay, he went out protecting his trans husband from being executed. They burned down their home and killed their pets and then they murdered Joss while trying to murder his husband. The New York times can barely muster "fatally shot." I hate this.

An address book from the 1940’s found in a thrift store. Full of names and addresses, a page of wedding anniversaries, and then some deeply haunting personal reflection. I can’t help but think about this woman in New York, during the war. Is her lover in Europe? Did he come home?

A list of wedding anniversaries from the early 40’s.

Handwritten script in pencil reads: Here I sit in Sardi’s quite alone, and knowing that all glitter is utterly false, that truth is a far more bright and shining thing. Such glamour has for more such shallowness as a cheap amusement ground in broad daylight. All people are pathetic and lonely, putting up a brave front. This is a horn-

-note that sets the universe in tune. Return, O, my darling, return. Please remember me through all the noise, and clatter, and the brighter beauty. (In all my stupid, lonely neurotic life, I have never known such solitude)

After some illegible pages, this the last page. It reads: the valley forms is a long narrow strip of gold. This orange band rimmed with dark clouds is quite incredible in the complete night. As I gaze steadily on this phenomenon, the realization comes that this is a sign. Beyond that hill is night. And I know that beyond all darkness, beyond all mountains, lies light, and that I must always look for that sign.

Here's the real kick about how Trump's tariffs are going to hike prices for everything: Once that happens, even if the tariffs go away, the prices are never, ever going back down again.
