This is super exciting, but it’s gonna take funds. Help us bond more folks out of immigration detention by donating to our matching fund!

New: A federal judge in California ruled that Trump's administration cannot impose mandatory detention on thousands of migrants held by U.S. immigration authorities nationally without first giving them an opportunity to seek release on bond. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

It is so strange to me to see so few people understand that part of what makes child sexual assault such a heinous crime is not just that their bodies have not fully developed but also that there is a horrific power imbalance and that we as a society have failed to protect them. 5 or 15.

Trump take Thanksgiving—the food on the table AND the means to travel to families.
So to keep it simple …

Trump is ruining Thanksgiving bc he wants to deny affordable healthcare to millions of Americans (while letting millions of kids go hungry).
TAPPER: Do you have any numerical idea of how many Americans will not be able to be with their families for Thanksgiving because of this?

DUFFY: I think the number is going to be substantial

Please understand that people will not be "going without SNAP/EBT/food stamps" - people will be going without FOOD.

I aspire to be this gran
A friend told me he had been clearing out his gran’s house. The most amazing thing he found there was this knitted effigy of the man who had run off and abandoned my friend’s pregnant aunt. Into the effigy had been stuck twenty knitting needles: one for every year since the man had vanished.

Abortion is health care — but it’s also about bodily autonomy, self-determination, and the right to shape our own futures.

Trans people are in a parallel, interconnected fight.

Retired Army Sgt. Brian Wofford spoke to me this morning at the Oklahoma City #NoKings protest. Didn’t expect him to be carrying his DD214 so I asked some warmup questions like when he got out and whether his injury was service-related.

He paused while describing the car bomb in Iraq to say this:

Please be conscious if you protest this weekend that there are feds at the protest. They look like you and they sound like you, not like Steve Buscemi in that one clip with the skateboard. Thinking you can spot them is self delusion. Nobody you haven’t met needs to know your last name.

This very very very bad. I cannot stress this enough. I said that they crossed the Rubicon with arresting Ras Baraka several months ago. This is very bad and portends more bad things for regular people.

Gavin Newsom fucking sucks, part MCXVII

he still has until the end of the week for the rest of the bills so unfortunately it’s time to suck it up, call his office, and politely ask this living hairpiece to do the bare minimum to protect the most vulnerable among us
