We need even more progressive alders when we go to the polls in 2027. Send the Corporate Caucus packing.

If you think an artist's style looks like AI but you can scroll back through their portfolio and see them doing the same work before 2020, congrats, you're not looking at an AI grifter. You're looking at one of the original victims whose entire style AI stole.

Every political system we have has failed us and brought us to fascism. What are we going to do to fix it?

For the record, I do my work to prevent violence & death, but I absolutely support people defending themselves as needed, both in the moment & given the current systems forcing its necessity. Any victim should do whatever they need to do when every systemic barrier prevents justice for rape.

The cure for fascism isn’t less fascism. That always leads to way more fascism. We don’t need a decent country. We need a just and good country.

Voters passed the transfer tax on sales over $10 million with the clear intent to fund housing and rent relief. City Hall has refused to follow the voters' will and is trying to give billionaires a tax break. Don't let them get away with it. Vote Yes on I to fund affordable housing and rent relief.

Men do not need to put on a dress and go into a public restroom to abuse women and children. They usually just go home. Or don a clerical collar. Or wear a badge. Or run for office. Or play pro sports. Or join a fraternity Or they just do it in public, wearing pants.

This makes how the news reports regarding this botched execution all having such a blase description of "well she was snoring" extra disturbing. No mention of agonal breathing in an article local to tennessee. The writing gave a shrug of, "seemed fine" when the situation is anything but.

Want to bet that a bunch of the 20% of generals that Hegseth wants to lay off are officers that we need to prevent shit like this? I'm all for reduction in US military capacity so we can spend more on human & civil rights & so we don't ever have a situation like Trump again, but that ain't this.

For the record, I don't believe that the current State Department will dare say Israel did anything wrong, but even the act of getting them on record so as to put them on blast for blatantly backing genocide is useful as an organizing tool.

You know, if you *really* cared about the wellbeing of women in college, instead of carping about the statistically insignificant number of trans athletes in sports minding their own business, you’d be railing against these Cornell fraternity cretins who drugged and gang-raped a passed-out women:

The policy's a sound one, but I don't see it doing a damn thing for private university costs. The price tag for private university is the point. It's supposed to prevent poor people from attending & stratify society. They're all but the definition of a luxury good. True of private schools generally.

democratic leadership has no intention of punishing the perpetrators but only aping their anti-immigrant and anti-trans rhetoric and policies, while they cozy up to big tech to get donations flowing again. without a commitment to throw jeffries aside, they're making sure that 2028 goes to the gop.
