Polish Jew. Immigrant. Historically notorious lesbian. Aging into profound disdain for Western “civilization." My graphic novel translating an eyewitness account of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising coming 10/27. Look for "What I Used to Read to the Dead."

Brazil going the way of South Korea. Basically around the world women are desperately trying to keep power out of the hands of incredibly stupid fascistic grifters while men keep trying to hand it over. Men are an embarrassing cringe gender.

Absent an accurate assessment of who benefits from the actions of Dem leaders, we will end up with another Presidential candidate aligned with GOP priorities and disinterested in rescuing democracy.

When she spoke at an NYC anti-war protest in the 1960s, men hurled slurs & shouted her down. There was no "left" for women to join. But Gloria and countless unnamed heroes of the Women's Movement enabled us to go to college; have real jobs; and own our money. Rest in power, magnificent warrior.

Settle for nothing else. And please believe me, neither Gavin nor Pete will deliver accountability.

From new Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar's acceptance speech tonight. This is the absolute BARE MINIMUM platform for any Democrat running for President in 2028.

But when I asked an organizer what they wanted to see out of press coverage, they told me they wanted people to see the beautiful things they are building here, and not just the worst stories of the worst of ICE's crimes. What people are doing here is beautiful. It's a tragic beauty, but a real one

If you don't believe me, believe him.

Nothing will guarantee that MAGA endures like compromise or a failure to hold this responsible for the crimes committed in its name accountable. Meeting them halfway extends their viability. Bending the knee and enabling them gives them a long future.

I seriously never want to hear about Clinton, Clinton, Obama, or Biden again.

its remarkable to see random suburbanites in their fucking PJs have more courage than the vast majority of america's political, social, and civil elites

And I think a lot of us should consider why this guy got such an explosively positive reception right out of the gate when pols like AOC and Mamdani and even Obama had to build their base brick by brick, against major pushback

I am done with the "good" straight white men. Anti-Zionist Jews march against genocide. US citizens get arrested in support of undocumented migrants. White folks protest against racist police. WHERE ARE THE GOOD MEN? Why aren't they out in the streets against this regime's grotesque misogyny?

No one should be surprised that TX Dems know how to boldly confront abuses of state power. The so-called red states are home to the fiercest, most experienced warriors for democracy. Abandoned and scorned by "blue" state white elites, they are the unsung heroes of the resistance.

I urge Massachusetts legislators to go to Louisiana and see Ms Ozturk in person. (Camp out on the doorstep!) They need to show that MA's elected officials are personally committed to stopping secret police from kidnapping and incarcerating any of us when we speak up against wrongdoing.

We’re going to spend the next 4 years seeing normal, everyday people do more to stand up to lawlessness and fascism than all the institutions of power and privilege. And if we get through this, all the leaders of those institutions will clap each other in the back and say what a good job they did.

Authoritarianism progressively worsens, but there are hinge points, moments where the necessary reach of cruelty can be met with focused resistance. We’re in one of those moments. We can band together, take collective action, and change the paradigm. The consequences of not doing it are immense.

Columbia grad student with a green card and a pregnant US citizen wife, abducted by ICE because of his political organizing, and now his lawyers can't find him. Hey, @schumer.senate.gov. This is your constituent. Bring him back home.

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is. They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there. They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

A friend mentioned that when Henry Kissinger got the Nobel Peace Prize, musical satirist Tom Lehrer had a nervous breakdown because satire was dead. And the more I think about Kissinger getting the Nobel, the more I think we always were headed for this exact moment we find ourselves in now.

This was the moment, just over a month ago, when the ADL could've put an end to Republicans doing Nazi salutes. They didn't. They chose instead to provide cover by calling it "an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm." Now the sieg heil salute has been normalized. The ADL literally had ONE JOB.

Trigger warning. Nazis being Nazis. Wasn’t just bannon.

Just a friendly reminder that when you propose the blue states secede, you are helping the Confederacy finally win the war. Most red states stopped operating as democracies years ago, and ache to finally be free of all US laws protecting workers, Black folks, queers, women, and children.

OK, wealth inheritor. Be the exception. Loving this for you.
