Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.

Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

Chicago Mayor Issues Defiant Call For A General Strike

It was an audacious proposal, given that the U.S. has never held a true, nationwide general strike.

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

Stephen Miller said last year this was the plan. They said it out loud. Some of us highlighted his remarks at the time and warned how dangerous they were. Most of the media missed them and/or moved on from them. It’s happening:

Red states sending troops to blue states is a really bad idea.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.
‪Governor JB Pritzker‬

I call on Governor Abbott to immediately withdraw any support for this decision and refuse to coordinate. There is no reason a President should send military troops into a sovereign state without their knowledge, consent, or cooperation.

The brave men and women who serve in our national guards must not be used as political props. This is a moment where every American must speak up and help stop this madness.

Today, a receiver took over Hinds County's Raymond Detention Center. People detained there shared stories of being held in cells covered with mold and feces and sleeping on floors. At least 6 died there this year, including a murder & drug overdose. www.themarshallproject.org/2025/10/01/m...

So Trump is defunding the police.

Catherine Rampell @crampell.bsky.social · 19d

Department of Homeland Security is cutting over $187 million or 86% of homeland security funding to New York State which will radically defund NYPD, FDNY, and NY State Police terrorism programs, according to a letter from New York Governor Kathy Hochul to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

I have so much to say to my ex, but right now, I really just want him to hold me. He is the only person to really give me comfort, and with all of the crazy shit going on I really need his embrace. If only he would talk to me again 😓

the idea of a politically-motivated mass shooter who is "non-political" is obviously absurd. the us mainstream is going to have to start reckoning with how "non-political" is a code phrase meaning "radically right-wing" if they want to understand why these people do the things they do

Dr. Houry calls on RFK Jr. to resign:

"After seeing his Senate Finance testimony and the number of misstatements, seeing what he has asked our scientists to do and to compromise our integrity, and the children that have died under his watch, I think he should resign."

Dr. Susan Monarez: “I could have stayed silent, agreed to the demands, and no one would have known. What the public would have seen were scientists dismissed without cause and vaccine protections quietly eroded…I would have lost the one thing that cannot be replaced: My integrity.”
