What tools have communities used to shut down immigration detention camps?

"They can threaten to withhold utilities, wastewater, lighting, water. They can restrict permitting, zoning, environmental reviews."

This 10-episode series with Hrayr was so hilarious to make because every episode ends with an Armenian riddle that Hrayr posed to me. Sometimes I figured them out 😎. And sometimes I didn't 😅. Western Armenian is endlessly fascinating. Verbs at the ends of sentences! No gendered pronouns!

Jeremy Moss is not holding back as he runs for Congress in Michigan (CD-11). He wants to abolish ICE, restore healthcare funding, and he's telling Democrats: "There’s no shaking hands with MAGA and hoping that they keep their word or are willing to compromise.”

The far-right, anti-immigration, and anti-LGBTQ rights political party Alternative for Germany (AfD) just won a key election in Germany's eastern state Saxony-Anhalt. Paradoxically, AfD is co-led by an out Lesbian. @schuneke.bsky.social breaks it down for us.

Hegseth wants to give the troops more testosterone. Yes, you read that right. And Georgia just had a historic election impacting LGBTQ representation in Congress (esp after anti-trans Collin Allred unseated Rep. Julie Johnson the only LGBTQ legislator in the South).

I was 12 during the Don't Ask Don't Tell debate. I lived in a rabidly anti-LGBTQ house. No support to understand what was happening. I thought the debate was about me. I became depressed and considered self-harm. There is a kid thinking about self-harm today b/c of what Talarico said yesterday.

Anti-LGBTQ Democrats stab queer folks in the back and then yell at them for pointing to the knife and the blood.

And let's be clear. This is a time honored tradition in the Democratic party.

It ends with them running shitty campaigns, losing, and blaming queer folks for not supporting them enough.
People have noted I’m writing more articles about anti trans dems now than I used to.

I swear it isn’t because I hate dems or want them to lose.

I’ve ALWAYS written articles about anti trans dems.

It’s just that now there are so many more to write about.

Talarico fell for it and is now trying to have it both ways. What exactly does "endangers safety or fairness" mean exactly?

Remember when Talarico said God was nonbinary?

What a damn disappointment. He just alienated his actual voters for MAGA voters he'll never get.

Give me JB Pritzker over Gavin Newsom anytime. In fact, give me Pritzker over Newsom, Whitmer, Shapiro, Kelly, Beshear, and Buttigieg every time.
I just love my governor @jbpritzker.bsky.social
JB will spend 20 million of his own money to go after congressional Republicans this election cycle. He supposedly has donated more of his own money than any other Democrat
This is a billionaire I can get behind mostly because he’s very progressive

Just stunning. The EEOC has settled with the Christian Employers Association and promised to current (and future!) members of the CEA that they won't investigate those businesses if they discriminate against trans employees. Oh, and the settlement lasts forever.

EXACTLY THIS. And based on facts. SCOTUS blocked Biden's priorities and has been systematically dismantling laws passed by Democrats/Progressives. Dems: this is non-negotiable.
Any sweeping systemic change you want to make in the United States has to begin with adding seats to the Supreme Court in 2029. No major reform bill will survive the current court. No civil rights law, no anti-corruption law, no wealth tax, nothing.

Why is Jen Psaki giving Rahm Emmanuel the time of day? He looks like he just woke up from a 3-day bender and the words coming out of his mouth were literally by MAGA.

The gold standard poll from Iowa in 2024 - released the weekend before the election - had VP Kamala Harris winning Iowa by three points. She lost by double digits.

Going into his own primary a month ago, El-Sayed was up by double digits (+16 in one poll!). He won by only 1 point.
The gold standard Michigan pollster, Bernie Porn, has Dr. Abdul El-Sayed up 4 against Trump-backed Mike Rogers

I'm not worried about this race for the Dems. If the Dems lose it, then they're just cooked nationally and they have other problems
