They don’t care about alternatives to this site, they want us scattered across the multiverse of social platforms and to break up the community etc we’ve built.

The vitriol coming from the federal government against our Somali neighbors is deplorable and now, egregious overreach targeting our beloved Congresswoman. I am beyond disgusted, but one thing about CD5, we don't back down and we protect each other.

The largest lead I've seen her have so far. carolinajournal.com/polls/se…

Y'all really just need to run commercials and targeted digital ads about Jackson and other Republicans dodging people. This is a Callais & Wealthy Elites trying to buy the election cycle. The unprecedented billionaire spending and disinvestment demand creative responses.

They can’t make American imperialism function without a class of well-paid Black people who side with the white supremacist agenda WAY more than they’ll ever admit

Could new bus shelter roofs help New Yorkers stay cool in extreme heat?
We're testing a few in Brownsville to find out: a green roof covered with native plants, and reflective roofs covered with low-cost, heat-resilient film.
When it comes to climate change, we're using every tool at our disposal — including everyday infrastructure — to keep New Yorkers safe.

Families lost weeks of food they couldn’t afford to replace. Then their SNAP claims were denied.

You cannot blame this on “the people” of Louisiana.
We are being held hostage by a white supremacist ruling class with a monopoly on organized violence & a powerful multigenerational propaganda apparatus… this is about power.
(Same is true for the rest of the U.S.)
I mean, but totally predictable and already a part of the Trump ecosystem.
