Black women of the Civil Rights Movement are most often remembered in 3 ways: as part of a larger group (the Little Rock Nine); as isolated individuals disconnected from broader political strategy (Rosa Parks); or as wives of male leaders (Coretta S.

This. I am done returning to the status quo of what got us here. I want universal healthcare. I want a maximum wage tied to the minimum wage. I want omnipresent, cheap public transit and walkable neighborhoods. I want Supreme Court and police reform, and I want the rich to pay their fair share.
We need to pick up this Overton Window and throw it as far as we can. Stop waiting for shit to “be popular” and start advocating for what is transparently right.

Democrats are a healthy economy. We are good paying union jobs you can raise a family on and infrastructure investment. We are safe schools. Republicans are tax cuts for the Broligarchs and slashing the government jobs of people who work to make your life better.

Senator Gallego on Trump's extrajudicial killings: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then... you come and talk to us [Congress] first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."

This weekend, we reached ~25 people with our street outreach at Mass & Cass, giving out feminine products, condoms & lube, water, snacks, underwear, socks, and makeup.

It was harder to find people this week, as the police have been cracking down lately and pushing people into hiding.

It's an odd thing to listen to one side spout violent rhetoric for years and then, after one of their own is murdered, have to listen to people scold the rest of us about how violence is not the answer. We know! We weren't the ones saying it was.
