For a long time, I had a lot of self hatred, and I didn’t feel comfortable being called a survivor. It has become an integral part of who I am and I will never again run from that. If I see folks belittling survivors on my page. I will call that out & make an example of that if I have the time.

“I cannot think of a community I care more about and I’m absolutely exploring if I can rise to the occasion for this moment. It’s been an honor and a lot of fun in the short time I’ve been talking to people in our community,” Boylan told The Post re a likely run for NYC city council district 3.

Ftr, no, the Diaspora isn't responsible for what Israel does. We're not there. The apartheid state doesn't care what we think anyway. But that just makes it even more fucked up that we have spent so many years normalizing an apartheid state and acting like it WOULDN'T lead here.

Donald Trump repeatedly told us that his tariffs would not increase prices for consumers.  So why on Earth is he lowering his tariffs on various foods?  Duh, because his tariffs raised prices.  Just another day with Don the Con.

Many things led to this moment but top of mind right now are blaming women for ruining the workplace & continuing to smear those who speak out against genocide. It’s a shame because I need to be up-to-date on the news but I will not support fascism financially.

That's where our biggest problem lies. The Democrats have largely refused to believe that a fascist regime—who is OPENLY ignoring the law—is currently in control of the ENTIRE federal government. They have convinced themselves that it's still just 'politics as usual,' when it's very clearly NOT.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

There is no Dem who thinks that Schumer voting No washes his hands of it. He is the captain of the ship and owns the process and end result. If he can’t run the team, then someone else needs to. Hopefully the other Dem senators understand the mood of the voters. If not, you will.

Was the thought process going into this that Dem voters would be satisfied with an appearance of resistance? That we would say, well, you guys tried really hard & we give you an A for effort? Because my opinion is that performative drama is the MAGA brand, it should not be ours.
