You guys, Mamdani was the only Democratic candidate running who categorically opposed mask bans
He was running against an establishment man with name recognition, huge amounts of funding & a history of abandoning the most vulnerable to die of covid
This feels like a huge win for vulnerable people

LA Times: L.A. Army veteran with Purple Heart self-deports to South Korea under threat of deportation
"...An Army veteran who grew up in Van Nuys and was awarded a Purple Heart self-deported to South Korea this week as he was threatened with being detained and deported by federal immigration forces.
On Monday, veteran Sae Joon Park, who legally immigrated from South Korea when he was seven years old, grew up in Koreatown and the San Fernando Valley and held a green card..."
Call your Republican Senators RIGHT NOW.
Not later; not tonight; RIGHT NOW. Pick up the phone and dial the switchboard if you don’t know their office’s direct number:
(202) 224-3121
Tell your Republican Senator or Senators that you demand they vote AGAINST the Big Ugly Bill that transfers wealth to the billionaire class at a scale not seen in decades if ever, while ballooning the debt to unimaginable levels.
(They'll pretend to care more about that second part, so include it.)
They’re still going through amendments. There is still time, if you call RIGHT. NOW.
This is amazing. Please share far and wide! I don't care if you boost me or put it on your own account, just please share:
USC's journalism school has stepped up big time, helping people to file motions to have their immigration hearings via Zoom. Then they can avoid the #ICE monsters abducting them from the court houses.
"USC Agents of Change establishes hotline to help move immigration hearings online"
It seems it's not just ICE anymore. Now we may have bounty hunters kidnapping people. Certainly we have unidentified, armed thugs kidnapping people off the street and putting them in warehouses unless they agree to "voluntarily" leave the country.
I'm sorry, but I'm going there. This situation deserves an armed community response. Locate her via her cell phone, arrive in force, and free the hostages.

We shouldn't call it #AlligatorAlcatraz because that was a prison meant for people who committed horrific crimes.
Those migrants have not.
It's a concentration camp.
It's Alligator Auschwitz.
Also #auschwitz started with 2000 people capacity.
The Alligator version is twice as big.
Don't judge the tech bros on how cringeworthy or clumsy they are. Judge them on their intent
Our reactions to things like this are "hey everyone, this is really dumb. Lol"
It feels good to speak on the ugliness and stupidity and get affirmation others also see how fucked up it is
But there is no protection in that, it's a momentary salve, it doesn't make it go away
Begin to think about how we fight what is coming
Stop laughing. Start fighting
you know how #cruelty is the point of #fascism? fascism happens when people turn to cruelty for government, politics, economy and social mores.
Jim Crow
Ley de Mordaza
Trail of Tears
Operation Condor
Prohibition
AIDS crisis
all instances of fascism
but the core of American Fascism is in the constitution: the 13th amendment protecting #slavery in #prisons.
real #antifa work calls for the end of government by cruelty. that means destroying prisons & abolishing slavery once and for all.
"Trump🚨isn't hiding his fascist dreams. In just the past 24 hrs:
*Threatened to deport US citizens “born in our country” *defines as “bad ppl."
*Vowed to investigate NYC’s Dem mayoral nominee Mamdani *if he’s in the US “illegally.”
*He'd look into whether Musk was legally in the US.
*Joyfully visited the new fascist spectacle: #AlligatorAlcatraz” +vowed to build even more such camps."
*He/Noem threatened to criminally prosecute CNN rptrs.

The dust has not even settled from the announcement that ICE will be receiving more funding than the entire US prison system, and that a new concentration camp is opening in Florida, and already Trump is announcing he will deport US citizens.
