It’s deeply frustrating to me to be 10, 15 years into this and routinely have to remind some liberals that the New York Times is not your fucking friend and is not going to do the job of the Democratic Party for it.

In an Uber. Driver having loud phone conversation with someone in Spanish. A little annoying, but it happens. He hangs up. Says, “Mi hermano. La Migra.” And starts weeping.

I hate to do this, but I really need help. Our family needs to re-apply for Foodstamps after renewal was denied (they’re changing the work requirements & making recertification happen every 6mo instead of every year). Please help us buy groceries. Link in bio. #MutualAid #Boost #Help #Share #donate

I hate doing the "a rollback of trans rights is the gateway for a rollback of women's rights" thing because trans rights are human rights in and of themselves, whatever the impact on cis women. But goddamn I wish more cis women had a sense of history and self preservation.

Stopped at the gas station this morning for a snack and I was the only person in the store. I said to the checkout person "you look bored!" She agreed and said it's been really quiet lately. "Times are hard," I said. Another checkout person said "it's the gas prices!" I agreed that those are high.

Lizzie let me put her thundershirt on today before I left for work. She was super anxious last night - and it was a really big noisy storm, so I get it! She got me up about 30 minutes before the lightning started, and if she does that again I have to remember to offer her shirt right away.

If the only thing you have to note about the rising tide of fascism is that we have to let it rise far enough to be over someone else's head in order to stop it, I don't think your strategy is particularly good.

My mom seems to think his challenger has a chance. I sure hope so. Kansans are, by and large, people who work hard for what they have and there's not a lot of wealth to spread around. I didn't know he was arresting his patients for unpaid bills. That's absolutely despicable.

A Black Hawk helicopter. Elite SWAT teams. Last September, federal agents descended on a Chicago apartment complex in a massive show of force. The government claimed “terrorists” had taken over the building. That’s not what we found: propub.li/3T6mq7j

“This was one of the most aggressive displays of force by these [immigration] agencies in a U.S. city in, like, anybody’s recent memory. This is not normal. … This is not something that happens in this country, and it did.” -Melissa Sanchez, ProPublica reporter
