The twin cities are under siege. Every tenant needs a union. We are launching a twin cities-wide tenant union. Organize your neighbors. Join the Union NOW.

People are asking a lot “how is this happening?” It’s happening the way abolitionists have warned you for decades it’s happening — you can’t dehumanize whole groups of people, pay for their brutalization & not expect for more bounty hunters to come.

This is Rubio-level dereliction. The right way is in front of his face, he senses it. He’s just too dumb to act.

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

Wonderful thread about the power of a landmark downtown library. #a2council

Here's my thought on Ann Arbor's PropS A and B: @aadl.org is amazing. 2x the AADL is at least 2x as good, probably more. So vote yes on Props A and B if you are an Ann Arbor voter please. #a2Council

Real live good news: Cook County, Illinois, passed a budget with $2 million in grants for abortion funds and practical support organizations. Those groups and clinics are struggling in the wake of funding cuts from national pro-choice groups in July

People have always had abortions and they always will. Despite setbacks (and yes, there are MANY, I won't lie), there remains a beautiful, aboveground system of funding and practical support for abortion. Experienced folks can and will help you get an abortion if you need them. It is not illegal!
