the state of islamophobia in america is so fucking unchecked man. none of the shit you people are saying about zohran should be acceptable in civil society
Gillibrand has proven herself to be a virulent racist and unapologetic Islamophobe. She’s not supporting Mamdani, the Dem mayoral nominee of the largest city of the state she represents. Why should we trust her as chair of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee next year?
Saw something about a Secret Lives of Mormon Wives reunion- and tbh, I don't want it unless @Andy is hosting. A reality tv reunion doesn't work without him.
Okay...my husbands barber just asked if bird flu is the reason egg prices are soaring, why isn't the price of chicken also sky rocketing!? I'm now spiraling. Can someone smarter than me please explain. Is this just capitalism? I hate it here.
As news spreads about the wildfires in Los Angeles know this: We depend on incarcerated people to risk their lives to fight wildfires. They get paid mere pennies to do so bc slavery is still legal in prison. And once released, their records bar them from becoming firefighters.
My hope for 2025 is that more people will open their eyes to the fact that when the wealthy/corporations are allowed to profit off of imprisonment, it guarantees the root causes of crime will never be addressed because too many people have a vested interest in keeping jails full.
Everyone (on my, losing side of the aisle) is asking "can America be saved from Trump."
I have a better question: Is America worth saving?
My latest in the @thenation arrives at the conclusion that America deserves what's about to happen.

thinking about the incarcerated people who were left behind during the hurricane, who weathered the storm in cages, who may not have power or water or any way of contacting their loved ones outside the walls. prison abolition is a climate issue
