Today Trump’s “Border Czar” showed up at the our state capitol to try to bully us into backing Trump. They’re all about “state’s rights” until they want to control your state.

This surveillance robot was walking around the capitol today to normalize something that should not ever be normal. Your government should not be a faceless omni-present surveillance force. #democracy #politics #surveillancecapitalism

Mahmoud Khalil protested the US Govt for financing the murder of his people. Abducting him in the night, taking him away from his pregnant wife, and refusing to share his location is an attack on free speech and blatant fascism.

Being anti-Trump isn’t enough to turn the tide. We have to make our case by passing universal programs, in states Dems control, that radically address working-class issues. www.cityandstateny.com/opinion/2025...

@empirestateccc.bsky.social surveyed more than 1,250 child care programs across New York State and it’s painfully clear that we need to *rapidly* invest in the childcare workforce. We need a permanent workforce fund in the state budget to address child care deserts and build up Universal Child Care.

Andrew Cuomo worked with Republicans to systematically defund New York. He is a bully and a creep who’s hoping we’ve forgotten. We haven’t.

How do you balance protecting your safety / external peace with speaking your truth / being your whole self as a Black person in a world that views Blackness as dangerous? Interesting food for thought in this film. Curious to hear your thoughts or what you’re watching this #blackhistorymonth !

Sharing thoughts on radical Black films for Black History Month because in moments like these we shouldn’t underestimate the importance of art; it has the power to restore us, help us understand & connect with each other, & keep us resilient in the fight for liberation #movies #civilrights #singsing

A new thing: I’m on Bluesky now ( Hi! )
 A not-at-all new thing: Eric Adams is deeply terrible & should not be Mayor.
