To the surprise of no one. This will cost politically though and good on Pritzger for making her do this so explicitly.

A reminder that this is the same organization that threatened to zip tie children in an Idaho raid.

I am so glad I live where I live. To the surprise of no one I'm backing Kat, but this reinforces for me that I'll be pretty happy even if one of the other candidates ends up winning. That's a great feeling.

Thank you to everyone who’s supported us | Kat Abughazaleh For Illinois

Glamour Magazine just named “the dolls” their women of the year so I’m reupping this essay

It matters who is included and what kind of protection we call for. Putting “Protect the Dolls” on a shirt does something different than “Protect Trans Kids” or “Transition On Demand” or the entire text of the communist manifesto. It contributes to the capacitation and celeb-ification of transness. But I don’t just want a world in which there are more trans celebrities, even if I get to be one. I want a world in which trans people – all trans people – are safe and free.

Incredibly disappointing from UKGE and I really hope they think about how many artists, writers, designers, and creators are against the use of AI in the industry, and WHY.

Promoting games and products that use it is pretty poor, but deleting the comments of those pointing it out is insulting.

UKGE official socials deleting/hiding comments calling out their support for games that use AI is not a good look… yikes

The regime is over reaching. Chosing to hand this kind of ammunition to a candidate that has spent this much of their life fighting against our slide into fascism isn't a winning strategy.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Oh heck yes. Goodbye to Spotify, who are taking $$$ to run recruitment ads for ICE.

Leah Greenberg ❌👑 @leahgreenberg.bsky.social · 2d

OK folks, here's the deal. Spotify is running ICE recruitment ads and has ignored asks to stop. It's time to tell them we won't stream fascism - by cancelling our subscriptions. Here's how to get started: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify

Non violent direct action NEEDS TO BE DISRUPTIVE!!!!

You need to hear what Chicago is doing to fight back against ICE. And then copy it.

Early voting in the NYC mayoral election begins TODAY.

If you're a New Yorker, I urge you to vote for Zohran Mamdani — the only candidate who will stand up to the oligarchy and fight for working people.

Listen to his inspiring words from primary night.

Hey y'all, please help Matilda — a dear friend, @avlblade.bsky.social colleague and all-around amazing person — get a vehicle after her truck died.

She's a working class transfem who needs transportation to make ends meet. Please share this and support as you can.

Matilda Bliss @matildabliss.bsky.social · 7d

On Monday I learned that my transmission died. This comes not even six months into pouring thousands of dollars into keeping my truck running (as no single repair exceeded its value). Considering its age it makes zero sense to pay for repairs. Here’s the link gofund.me/d18e5e1a8

The tattoo being a random drunk action might be believable if there were no behavioral examples to back it up. That tattoo with the reddit post is disqualifying without years of substantial counter behavior. I don't see why anyone would trust in this situation.

But here’s the great news: that’s because we’ve hit our signature goal!

Thank you so much for helping us achieve this. Can’t wait to be on the ballot :)

No Kings is a great organizing tool, but it is not the final resistance. If you don't feel yourself having to push through the resistance then you're probably not really engaged. That line will be different for different people, but we should feel effort were putting in.

Other things that look like the Montgomery Bus Boycott or General Strikes are going to take concrete demands and a LOT of strategic coordination. Get involved with community organizations so when that starts to come together you can add early momentum.

Victor J Kinzer @spunkypuca.bsky.social · 9d

I met plenty of people at No Kings doing daily protests at ICE facilities. Walk around with whistles and warn your community when you see ICE. Especially if you live in red states sell out underground markets to bypass sales tax. Gum up report hotlines.

Victor J Kinzer @spunkypuca.bsky.social · 9d

No Kings was amazing but if you aren't engaged with real direct resistance you should start taking baby steps. I've contributed to trans surgery funds, contributed to the ACLU, put shopping discipline practices in place to avoid capitulating companies. This is the small stuff.

Pedro Pascal was spotted at the LA No Kings protest with the best sign there.

Pedro Pascal at an outdoor protest holds a bright red and yellow sign that reads “NO KINGS ONLY QUEENS” with a black-and-white photo of Divine and Trump. Pascalis wearing glasses and a yellow T-shirt, pursing their lips playfully while pointing at the sign. They stand among a crowd of people holding various protest signs; the scene appears to be in a city street on a sunny day.
