Just because one party is made up of fascists does not absolve us of the responsibility to hold the other party accountable for its inaction, neglect, dismissiveness, or lack of courage and strategy. That means holding Democrats accountable.

The E.P.A. canceled a $20 million flood protection grant to Alaska months before a remote village was inundated.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

This post was a day ago. Has any federal agency commented yet? What about Mr. Nobel Prize?

Our fellow citizens are being flooded and I've not heard word one from this White House.

Decades of experience. And every single one now handing their press pass in.

Another step towards the authoritarian state.

Yes. That anecdote hits hard.

"Copyright growing pains" is an interesting way of saying "they stole a bunch of intellectual property"

it wasn't enough that our cities and states already paid far more than they receive from the federal government. the people who elected trump want to steal more from us, to give to Argentina, to give to ICE, to give to billionaires. Intolerable

Trump admin has frozen or cancelled $28 b for projects, almost all in Dem districts. Small amount of frozen funds in GOP districts are in predominately Dem states (CA, OR, WA, CO, MN, IL, NY, MD), or in predominately Dem cities (St Louis, Atlanta, Greenville) www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

You may have noticed that folks who are from Chicago love this city. There's a reason for that. I walked to the lake with friends yesterday, and when I saw the waves rolling in, I felt something shift back into place inside of me. So many parts of this city are part of me. We will defend this place.

Thanks for that recommendation!!

I am going to look for both of those!!!

Republicans and fascists hate Mamdani because he respects and seeks to support EVERYONE. He does not play people against each other as so many others have come to do, politicians and groups both. And he wants to use our resources to support people.

They despise him for it.

💖. It's more important now than ever before.

It is not just Trump. Project 2025 is the combination of all of their plans over the past 40+ years.

Trump is a horrible person. But there is an entire political party affiliated w/Nazi beliefs and goals. They hate all of us. They do not care if we die.

I really wish people would understand this.

I beg everyone to recognize that these life-endangering cuts are the long-time wet dream of the GOP, which they are executing under Trump-Vance, but have been tried and tried and tried again. Weakening our social safety net and reinstating racist policies are the GOP's raisons d'etre.

If Mike Johnson is refusing to call the House back into session during the shutdown, then we’ll do the work right here the Bronx.

The New York Essential plan is being eliminated entirely next year due to the GOP healthcare cuts. People’s lives are at stake.

And that’s why we’re fighting back.

"Homeland Security" is actually terrorizing the country. I'd like all of them to migrate to another planet.

Remigration was Germany’s non-word in 2023.

While it means to migrate back, it has become a far-right euphemism of forced repatriation. When the far right uses the term, it’s an overtly racist call for forceful mass deportation of non-white immigrants.

In case anyone was wondering about the U.S…
DHS post with word remigrate.

In fact, in airports I either get “great shirt!!” Or long silent states, which I return with my “fuck you, racist,” face.

Wear those shirts when you are going places like airports, shopping, etc. Help normalize shared compassion, empathy, and love amidst the hate. More of us than them.
jljacobson.bsky.social
There's much more than wearing t-shirts to be done, but it is in fact a statement.
