Is the fact that UAE is actively backing the genocide in Sudan and choosing to party in Dubai sure seems like A Choice (tm) factored in here?

The Detroit Free Press allowed readers to submit their verdict on who won the debate between Dr. Abdul El Sayed and Mike Rogers— but the only two people who said Rogers won decided to include anti Arab slurs in their letters in addition to abject lies. So the DFP refused to publish them.

Got my flu and COVID vax shots today, finally. Should have done it BEFORE the NYCC, but better late than never. Highly recommended, friends. Do it for yourself and your family and friends and community.

Organizing works. This is the work I do literally every day. I organize on human rights from a disability justice lens, but you can organize for literally anything. "Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle." -Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Today's reminder that the UAE is currently engaged in a genocide in Sudan using weapons they receive from the US and Israel and money they receive from our tourism dollars, and every celebrity who lives or vacations in Dubai or Abu Dhabi is knowingly funding it.

“If Hamas didn’t attack Israel on October 7th, the number of casualties would be zero.” That’s just verifiably false. Before October 7th, the Israeli army was already killing several hundred Palestinians per year. And in some years, much more.

Elon Musk’s super PAC is about to cross $1,500,000 to re-elect Susan Collins. Her response so far: “I wasn’t aware.” Not aware? Senator, it’s a public filing. Stop gaslighting us.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Solar over parking lots is one of my favorite no-brainers. It's good for the environment, good for the people parking there (no more burning your hands on your steering wheel), and it saves money over time. There might be a down side when it's time to plow, but maybe not if less plowing is required

I didn't figure it was a disagreement. Just commentary on the zeitgeist. It feels like many folks, not you but a whole lot of others, are going out of their way to not use the word fascism when it's REALLY important we name it for what it is.

SCOTUS laid the legal framework for it all with their mix of Originalism (no actual basis in Founding principles, of course) & Unitary Executive Theory with a heavy dose of thumb on the scales for Trump specifically & GOP generally. A 50ish year project with Trump the beneficiary at the right time.

The other thing RFK Jr and Vought have in common, most importantly, is loyalty to Trump above all. That is exactly what Trump prizes most & what moves this into fascism above all else. There are lots of ways to be racist, corrupt, militaristic, etc. but all those in service to Trump gets us fascism.

I dislike all these attempts to define Trump as anything but fascism. Fascism is, by its nature, also a kakistocracy. Also a kleptocracy, authoritarianism, a dictatorship, etc. I go back to Mussolini's Doctrine of Facism as a reference on this. All these things are in service to the Great Leader.

The problem being lawsuits move so slow as to be functionally useless to a campaign, especially this close to the election, & filing it might cause a Streisand effect in the worst possible way. These hucksters count on all that when they run these smears. Often better to let it be until afterwards.

Please, if you're able, let your mayor and/or city council know that encampment removal does not work, that throwing more money at shelters is not an effective option, and if they really want homeless folks off the streets? Then they should provide *homes*. Not shelters. Homes.

For the record, a lot of people are afraid to reach out for help from religious organizations because they think that every organization operates like the Salvation Army. The Salvation Army is directly making it harder for people to ask for help.

The attacks were all excellent, but I won't stop pointing out that voter ID is NOT good. It disenfranchises people. Ossoff is an extremely effective candidate, but a quite flawed legislator, policy-wise. Important to remember that with all the 2028 talk going around.

Police are simply incapable & unwilling to learn how to treat sexual assault with the dignity victims deserve. It isn't what they're hired based on, trained for, or what the carceral system they exist in is geared towards. We must redesign these systems from the ground up. Abolish the police.

22 California billionaires have spent a combined $150 million so far to defeat Prop 40. By spending their fortunes trying to stop California from taxing billionaires, they're making the argument for a billionaire wealth tax more clearly and articulately than anyone else possibly could.

Sherrod Brown's new response to an anti-trans ad is remarkably different from many other dems. Instead of accepting bigotry towards trans people, he pivots and links his Republican opponent to the Epstein files. It is notably different from his earlier ads. Subscribe to support our journalism.
