This is the America the GOP wants to make great again.
LA City Council’s City President Marqueece Harris-Dawson says he has been pulled over four times while a member of the council; the most recent was this week. He missed a committee meeting because of the stop, according to him.

with every bad thing that's happening right now children are getting the absolute shit end worst of it
Disability accommodations are a rare thing that actually trickles down. You like curb cutouts? Auto-opening doors? Jar openers? Ramps? Hand rails? YOU’RE WELCOME
Even as an abled person you use disability accommodations every single day.
Supporting accommodations actually helps everyone.
Mayor Mamdani and a child play with Legos while looking very serious and concentrated. The child is impossibly adorable and wearing tiny blue glasses.
No interruptions, please. We’re building universal child care.
the elite & privileged are never as connected to history as the oppressed & marginalized.
someone from their rank & file commits a genocide? "im not connected to those atrocities & its not representational of who i am."
"stop living in the past!"
"i never owned a slave!"

Should have pre-ordered this months ago when I first heard about it, but today's not a bad time to do it either!
I know everyone is watching what’s happening in Iran, but Ice arrested another set of journalists for reporting on their black bagging of American citizens in Nashville last night.
I’m gonna say something spicy
Graham Platner is less important to me now than Pod Save , Liz Smith, the left et al
Who have continually set up caustic dismissive spaces for “rational” reasoning that always boils down to
“Racism in theory and in action is necessary to win”
Yes antivax set the stage for that too but with Covid we see even normie democrats downplay the risk and signing on to endless reinfections.
Virus minimizing has gone mainstream to even people who think they believe in science. If you don’t mask you don’t believe in science.
This need to be called out at perpetuating sexist policies that privilege bikers without child carrying, errand running responsibilities. Caltrain would never consider banning kids from trains, why is it ok to make it impossible for parents who travel bike to use the system?
Even if it takes years, we have to bring EVERYONE who made this happen to justice. No moving on, no letting this go.
Revenge is good enough motivation for me personally, but the nobler and important reason is to ensure that anyone who thinks of doing this again knows they’ll rot in prison for it.
We don’t yet know if Estefany Rodríguez’s detention was in retaliation for her reporting but we certainly wouldn’t be surprised.
ICE abductions of noncitizen journalists take the reporters best equipped to cover immigration enforcement off the beat.
This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

Highland Park is installing ICE warning sirens. An excellent idea and goddamn I’m sick of the necessity.

We used to go to Target once or twice a week. I joined the boycott in early 2025. We’ve had to go back once a month for one small item we can’t find elsewhere. But I will not be going back to regular shopping at Target ever.
There’s a recipe book from the 90s that collected recipes from manufacturer packaging. www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...
Reminder that contagious disease, food poisoning, abuse, and starvation are deliberate features of concentration camps, both historically and as here. They do not happen accidentally, they are intended to compound the misery of detention and disable and kill the detainees.
