No tax dollars for healthcare, but plenty for ballrooms.

JUST IN: The White House has begun DEMOLISHING portions of the East Wing of the White House to build Trump’s $250 million ballroom — despite earlier claiming it wouldn’t “interfere” with the existing White House structure. (Washington Post)

“Revolutionaries” don’t sit at home and criticize the organizing others do.

The only way out is together.

Unless you’re planning something bigger and better before Saturday…

Amongst the earliest known women mathematicians Hypatia lived during the 3rd century AD in Alexandria, Egypt. 🧪🐡👩🏼‍🔬🧮 #histsci She was born at some time between about 350 and 370 and died in 415 C.E. She taught philosophy, #astronomy & math at a NeoPlatonist school #ald25 #AdaLovelaceDay

My linocut portrait of Hypatia in purple holding an astrolabe up to her eye with her left arm while her right rests on geometric diagrams on sheets of paper on her table. Astrolabe and table plus diagrams are bronze in colour. I’ve shown her with curly hair piled up on her head, in a loose tunic with sash. Behind her are two Doric columns and arch.

"We have an economy where a handful of modern-day robber barons wield extraordinary power. They hold enormous control over our paychecks, our bills, our time, and our futures.

...But the good news is that nothing about any of this is inevitable." - Lina Khan

Any police officer who vows to quit depending on the results of an election is openly admitting that they are partisan, that they swore an oath but it was conditional, and that they believe the work they do as law enforcement is tied to a particular political party.

All of these are damning.

Every time someone makes me read something Peter Thiel said it’s like “Scrooge McDuck is Jesus Christ and Huey, Dewey, and Louie are Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel and Daisy is Mary Magdalene and that’s why women voting has lowered American sperm count.”

If it’s not okay to be anti-fascism anymore, is it still okay to be pro-democracy? 🤔

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.

Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

Police officers who publicly declare that they’ll quit if a mayoral candidate they dislike wins the election are (1) usually bluffing—sure buddy, toss away that paycheck and pension—and (2) exactly the sort of cops cities would be better off without, ones who don’t see themselves as public servants.

Okay, but how will they bring back the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians that have been murdered? Will they give the land of Palestine back, and rebuild what they’ve destroyed, and pay reparations?

It’s almost like allowing monopolies and conglomerations to control everything, refusing to pay taxes or wages, hoarding most of the wealth results in the bottom falling out of the economy!

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

The bar is in HELL, stop trying to rehabilitate this man’s image. He’s one of the main reasons our country fell to fascism.

“We don’t have to approach and criticize this album as art, because it isn’t art. The Life of a Showgirl is made of Shein quality rip-offs of other people’s songs that are constructed shoddily and sold in ginormous quantities. Art takes time and care. This is profit. It’s content.”

WHEW.

What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.

We can rip each other apart for the benefit of the billionaire class, OR we can focus only on what unites us- working. Working class folks need to organize their places of employment, and plan to strike.

Strike- don’t buy, don’t work.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.
