Antifa since 1978 (that's not when I was born!) Progressive policies are good policies. Healthcare issues *access/affordability, ACA, masks. Covid-conscious.

  1. RFK Jr. is actively trying to kill children.

    His ignorance is not a defense because he has killed children before. Over 5700 infected and 83 dead — most of them children — in the 2019 Samoa measles outbreak Kennedy caused.

    He knows what he’s doing.

    Don’t let him kill your kids.

  2. Disgusting and violent treatment by LAPD while a court order prohibiting assaulting or arresting journalists is in place.

    Nick Stem had just recovered from surgery after a vicious LAPD attack in June. On Friday, a cop bashed him in the face, causing a deep gash on his chin.

    Read about a few more ⤵️

    emergency surgery, hospitalization, and weeks of recovery. As LAPD' s line advanced on August 8, Stem held up his LAPD-issued press ID, in a lanyard and holder with extra  large "PRESS" written across it, apparently in order to identify himself as a journalist so that the police wouldn't use force. An LAPD officer struck Stem in the face, causing a deep gash on Stem's chin and spilling blood all over Stem's chin and press ID. Stem, with a shaved head and glasses, appears in multiple videos from August 8.

9. Rocky Romano, a documentary filmmaker who was wearing a helmet with "PRESS" written across the front and carrying a large videographer rig with a gimble  stabilizer unmistakable as professional camera gear, was shoved by LAPD onto the ground in a gutter. Video shows a second person on top of Romano after officers also shoved him down. 

10. LAPD officers also shoved photojournalist Nate Gowdy to the ground, as can be seen in the same video of Romano on the ground. This occurs at the same time at the start of the video and just a few feet away.

11. A staff photographer for a large national photo agency injured her knee and her camera lens was broken after LAPD shoved her into a bollard and a second time into the ground. She wore both LAPD and LASD issued credentials around her neck and had multiple large cameras and lenses. She also stated "I'm trying" repeatedly when officers told her to get back, but officers gave her no opportunity and shoved her anyway.

  3. The Trump administration is now seeking to replace PBS with “Prager University,” a far-right propaganda organization that isn’t actually a university.

    One of their “kids videos” has Christopher Columbus telling them that slavery was “no big deal” and “better than being killed.”

  4. Unless you're a major shareholder in an energy company, and you aren't FURIOUS, explain your thinking to me. Help me understand how you're maintaining your calm. I need to know this secret before my head explodes.

  6. It's disgraceful that organizations like the ADL, the leaders of the Democratic Party, and the New York Times spend significantly less effort denouncing the antisemitism of neo-Nazis running the US government than they do policing the language of powerless campus protestors.

  7. I'm Jewish and I think about antisemitism all the time. I can't tell you how fucking weird it is that Homeland Security posting literal neo-Nazi propaganda generates less discussion about the threat to Jews than a mayoral candidate who believes Palestinians are human beings.

    DHS is recruiting using a not-so-subtle reference to a 1978 book from white nationalist William Gayley Simpson, Which Way Western Man?

    Simpson's book was released under an imprint associated with the National Alliance, founded by Turner Diaries author William Luther Pierce.
