I’m not here to yuck other people’s yum. that said, y’all that are in Los Angeles (my hometown) (and baseball lovers everywhere) can celebrate that the Dodgers won AND be cognizant of the fact the owner of the team, and the entire team itself, are complicit in their own actions when it comes to 🧊

Jonathan Capeheart’s reaction and facial expression of Andrew Cuomo saying diversity is a “weakness” is suited for the moment.

Now that CBS has and still is firing and/or laying off its Black and Brown employees, it is a good time to redirect our attention and focus and energy to the things that actually matter. CBS has now become irrelevant to the people.

NY: you want a mayor who seems to be everywhere at once, supporting everyone. So it’s amazing Madani dancing salsa, doing tai chi, campaigning for night shift votes w cab drivers at the airport, meeting with South Asians, and accepting Mandy Patinkin’s endorsement, seemingly all at once.

The law requires Trump to continue to fund SNAP.

Instead, he's trying to steal food from the mouths of hungry children.

Maybe it was way more than seven million? "8% of Americans say they participated in a No Kings protest on October 18."

The Trump admin has been “deadlier for ICE detainees than COVID-19 pandemic.”

“The families of some of the deceased have denounced the fact that the victims had no prior condition that would have predicted a tragic end.”

🕯️ This #DíaDeLosMuertos, we remember those who should still be with us.

At least 22 people have died in ICE custody this year, the deadliest year in 20 years. As families grieve and call for answers, communities across the country are building ofrendas to honor them.

2025 Is ICE’s Deadliest Year In 20 Years

“The families of some of the deceased have denounced the fact that the victims had no prior condition that would have predicted a tragic end,” EL PAÍS reports.

while I normally agree with Nina on so many things, this I completely disagree. those who decided to vote for him knew that he was going to do this, and are now acting like now they regret their vote. a vote for someone is you aligning yourself with their politics and actions.

Well, an acquaintance who relies on the ACA marketplace for insurance just received a notice explaining that their fee for coverage will be rising. Right now they pay $180 a month. The new price?

$2733.15 a month.

you see this happen a lot in "streetwear." people who co-opt a streetwear aesthetic frozen in time while making cities more hostile to the people who gave that aesthetic meaning — less affordable housing, more crackdown on noise, more policing, etc.

Whenever people invoke the Black Panther Party for self defense, I wonder if people know that there are still Panther members currently incarcerated.

the vice president asking his Hindu wife to convert into Christianity should be enough for her to be convinced to leave his dumb ass. this is the same guy who articulated that “American citizens don’t want to live with people who speak another language”.
