- Reposted by Nancy EsperanzaI may delete this because it’s a bit spicy but it shouldn’t be lost on us that games being turned into TV is essentially harvesting the stories written by those who don’t have union representation or healthcare with WGA by those that do. Our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?
- Reposted by Nancy EsperanzaBad idea. ICE is pre-funded by the BBB. Also, CBP is just as bad if not worse and also pre-funded by the BBB. Severing ICE gives away any leverage we have to shut down the rest of DHS. We should be demanding to defund ICE/CBP of its BBB money and shut down ALL of DHS if they don’t agree.
- Reposted by Nancy EsperanzaThe entire anti wokeness nonsense of the past decade was about making this kind of gutter racism broadly acceptable again bsky.app/profile/adam...
- Pour one out for every professional political pundit, writer, consultant whatever that has spent the last decade trying to pretend that the Trump phenomenon was about trade or opiates and not a big chunk of white america losing its mind over having a black president bsky.app/profile/kyle...

- Reposted by Nancy EsperanzaI think often of the women in the Louis CK story—how they all left comedy and never went back, but he’s still going. It’s everywhere and it’s such a loss for them and for us—for things they’ll never make that we’ll never see.
- Reposted by Nancy Esperanzacannot possibly convey how actually crazy-making it can feel, after spending 20 years monitoring all these orgs blaming sex workers and the internet for enabling a vast sex trafficking network, to now see Jeffery Epstein’s inbox
- Reposted by Nancy EsperanzaFollowing ICE’s deadliest year in two decades, we do not need another massive ICE detention facility. ICE has caused enough harm to our communities. They have proven they cannot be trusted to operate detention facilities safely or transparently. Head to crockett.house.gov/media.
- Reposted by Nancy EsperanzaA brand new Super PAC — Elect Chicago Women — just dropped hundreds of thousands of dollars into this race. Why? Because it’s actually a front for AIPAC dark money. And they’re doing everything they can to buy my race:
- Reposted by Nancy EsperanzaThey’re trying to run the Kilmar Abrego Garcia playbook with a five year old boy in a bunny hat because nobody can find peace if they embarrass the Trump administration publicly. Normal people didn’t like it with Garcia and they really aren’t going to like it for Liam.
- Reposted by Nancy EsperanzaCorrection: It would lead to impeachment in a democracy, or in any country with a socially-sophisticated population. America has neither.

- Reposted by Nancy EsperanzaI’m not sure we’ve properly addressed how profoundly disturbing it is that America can largely shrug at the stashing of human beings in giant warehouses.
- Reposted by Nancy EsperanzaHappening now in Silicon Valley: marchers have surrounded the Palantir building and are holding a prayer vigil for victims of ICE, while video of ICE and Palantir crimes is projected on the building. #AbolishICE #ICEOut #Palantir #PaloAlto
- Reposted by Nancy Esperanzatoday has been an amazing day for refreshing webpages
- Reposted by Nancy EsperanzaIt is really infuriating to see how misogyny really does unite men across the sociopolitical spectrum. And, in so far as the Epstein files go, they sort women into two categories: fuckable or irrelevant. When they near a hint of accountability they complain about not being able to make women prey.

- Reposted by Nancy EsperanzaAOC on the Kennedy Center: The renaming is completely illegitimate. All they did was screw some nameplates onto the building. That’s coming right off. Enjoy your name on there for a year or two, but that’s getting ripped right out.
- Reposted by Nancy EsperanzaWhen you know you're next to testify.
- Reposted by Nancy EsperanzaTrump has posted on Truth Social about 65 times in the last 90 minutes, including a video he posted at 8:44 PM PT describing election fraud lies that shows racist AI images of Michelle and Barack Obama as monkeys at the end. I’ve confirmed this is real and watched it myself. 25th Amendment now.
- Reposted by Nancy EsperanzaThis is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no ‘misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.
- Reposted by Nancy EsperanzaThe public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

- Reposted by Nancy EsperanzaNo joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
- Reposted by Nancy EsperanzaChild at the podium: “A woo woo woo.” Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.
- Reposted by Nancy EsperanzaContext: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday. It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.
- Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue
- Reposted by Nancy EsperanzaJD Vance getting lip fillers is so fucking funny
- Reposted by Nancy EsperanzaIs this good chat
- Reposted by Nancy EsperanzaWhen you agree to pass 5 of 6 appropriations bills, then you later agree to pass funding for everything that is in the 6th bill except for one agency (ICE) that has already been prefunded in a previous bill, you are giving up every bit of leverage you have and selling out.
- Reposted by Nancy Esperanzahe's so close to figuring it out!
- Reposted by Nancy EsperanzaTo all our international friends attending the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony in Milan tomorrow: Please loudly boo JD Vance and his delegation. Make him feel like shit. We encourage it. We wish we could be there to boo him, too. Signed, the American people

- Reposted by Nancy EsperanzaIt's a mystery.
- Reposted by Nancy EsperanzaThe orange felon says he doesn’t know why Tulsi Moscow Gabbard was at the raid on a Georgia election office and Tulsi says she was ordered by him to be there. This treasonous diabolical scandal is growing bigger by the day and the American state media have no interest in it.

- Reposted by Nancy EsperanzaFar too many ICE agents are lawless, cruel and despicable bullies.

- Reposted by Nancy EsperanzaLayoffs just hit their highest start-of-year total since January 2009 — the height of the Great Recession — according to data tracking firm Challenger. Meanwhile, CEO pay and corporate profits continue to hit record highs. Does anyone still believe that trickle-down tax cuts create jobs?

- Reposted by Nancy Esperanza🚨BREAKING: The White House Thursday refused to rule out the presence of immigration enforcement at voting locations this November, a response that follows extremist rhetoric about placing federal forces at the polls. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
- Reposted by Nancy EsperanzaI want to reiterate that this shit is nuts. A federal invasion of state-run elections, an intelligence community invasion of federal law enforcement, a White House invasion of a criminal investigation, and a president’s insane treasonable sore loser obsession all rolled up and muddled together.

- Reposted by Nancy EsperanzaOMG. He literally went with "they were no angels" which is the mocking phrase people use to point out how authorities try to minimize their law enforcement executions. And he's using it earnestly because he doesn't realize how it's actually used.
- Reposted by Nancy EsperanzaA bus stop near Tesla's flagship store in London. Imagine a Super Bowl ad that showed only this.
- Reposted by Nancy EsperanzaThis is an authoritarian power grab, full stop. Nationalizing elections would put the executive branch in control of who votes and how. That’s how dictators rig outcomes, crush opposition, and assault democratic self-government. This should alarm everyone: www.ms.now/news/trump-s...
