This man is a monster. He seeks out women survivors because he hates them. And he hates them because he hates himself. He has harassed me and other women survivors many times over the years. It must end. He should never have a job anywhere.

DoorDash bribed Cuomo with $1M for his mayoral campaign. Mayor Mamdani rejected that cash and just made history with $131.5M settlement for DoorDash drivers screwed out of their wages — the largest worker settlement in US History. This is what leadership looks like. ❤️✊🏽

This is not deporting people. Literally. Legally. There is a deportation process and this isn't it. This is rendition. This is disappearing people.

Anyone surprised by the launch of “Trump TV” hasn’t been paying attention. Trump has always focused one thing: himself. Mainstream media barely blinks, and now, he's banned legacy outlets from the White House. This is the state of our media today: truth takes a backseat to profit and power.

For 33 years, McConnell has voted against family and medical leave for working Americans. Then he disappears from the Senate for 92 days and keeps collecting his full paycheck. Apparently, paid leave is only a problem when someone else gets it.

There are endless studies showing this and also the financial and societal benefits of universal basic income and or housing-first policies but the U.S. never goes for any of it because it would require allowing the poor to receive benefits that the rich consider “undeserved”

4 days ago The Pentagon fired the editor in chief of Stars and Stripes. Yesterday they broke the story of Elsie Dominguez, a civilian engineer who was raped repeatedly by the Captain of a Navy ship she was on. They keep trying to silence the press & quash the truth. Elsie’s story must be told:

Some points: 1) we still have flogging, maiming and lynching, and our carceral state is of a piece with it 2) we do have models of society w/o such an apparatus 3) "blowing up" is a mischaracterization But most importantly, this gets the order wrong. Destination comes first. The compass.
In response to a post by A.R. Moxon reading: "It’s not a slogan. It’s a cause. Abolishing slavery was a cause, and everything that’s written below about prison abolition was written about abolition of slavery.

It’s good to have causes, if they are just."

a poster replies:

"You have to outline the new system before you can propose blowing up the old system. If you want to abolish slavery or capitalism, cool, we have many models of what society without / before slavery or capitalism look like.

Before prisons there was flogging, maiming, and lynching."

This is likely the first you've heard about this horrifying incident. Corporate media not covering it. A white supremacist attacked a Muslim man at a mall because he wants to "kill all Muslims". Muslim hate is being normalized. This violence will only worsen if we don't confront it directly.

Justice RBG died only 6 weeks before the 2020 election & Mitch McConnell had Barrett replace her anyway. McConnell has been in the hospital for 16 days. No one has seen him or knows his status. Just pointing out for no reason at all that we’re currently still more than 18 weeks from Election Day.
