Successful downtown adventure with my little guy today 😁

I like the way you think. I like the way you move through the world all weary and confused, leaving a trail of library books and disappointment in your wake.

Good question. Any ideas @ladytophamcatt.bsky.social or @robertloerzel.bsky.social or @adamchicago.bsky.social or @mckiesdjlounge.bsky.social ?

This is interesting. I haven’t gone through the whole thing yet, but it’s nice to see this widely acknowledged and in an online format so not only can more people than visitors to the museum see it, disabled people can see it without leaving home. americanhistory.si.edu/explore/exhi...

Well I know how I am going to spend some of my paycheck this week.

And then this shit just came out. When you’re making over $700k a year, gaining $12k is nothing. It’s a nice vacation, redoing the garage, giving a niece/nephew a car. When you’re making $23k a year, losing $1600 is ā€œare we paying for food or for the house or for medical billsā€ territory.

They are zip tying and arresting people in wheelchairs. Their ā€œcrimeā€? Protesting to keep their Medicaid which is a literal life and death issue for disabled people. The cruelty is the point. Remember that the Nazis started with the disabled. They tested the gas chambers on us

Look if anyone is an expert on getting obliterated it’s Pete Hegseth

how are we all doing this Wed? I have a plan for my broken apartment floor. in a few weeks I'll move to a different place for a few weeks, hopefully less, while they rip up & repair the floor here. finally!!

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

Self-deportation isn’t a thing. ICE forced this HawaiŹ»i resident to leave the country. He’s lived in the US for nearly 50 years, served in the military, received a Purple Heart for being shot in combat, but is being forced to leave for a drug offense.

Love it when reporting like this from @404media.co forces sleazy companies to change their practices now that they've been forced into daylight.

We are posting this placard at all of our offices and asking our union contract farms to post as well. We encourage our friends to put up similar placards at their business as immigration agents do not have the right to go on private property without permission.

A federal officer cannot be ā€œdoxxed.ā€ The public has a right to know who is operating in our government, especially if they have the power to imprison someone.

1/ Most people still don’t know how to use a rapid antigen test (RAT) correctly. So here’s a 🧵on how to get the most accurate results and avoid spreading COVID:

The latest episode of Last Week Tonight is not easy to watch. John Oliver dissects the juvenile justice system...what the fuck are we even doing? Imagine if all the money spent on ruining lives was spent on improving them? šŸ“ŗ

Check the indoor air quality wherever you go. Don’t linger in places which are poorly ventilated. Opt to go into stores with open doors and windows. Simple things can reduce your risks. I carry a co2 monitor (Aranet 4). It’s such a simple thing, we have watches to check our heart rates for fitness 🧵

Confirming this is true

And thou mayest aske thyself, 'How do Ich werke thys?' And thou mayest aske thyself, 'Wher ys that large destrier?' And thou mayest telle thyself, 'Thys nys not my beautiful castle!' And thou mayest telle thyself, 'Thys nys not my swift goshawk!'

If you've got water or liquids to hand out today and you're in the cities, be a kind neighbor and offer it to someone who looks thirsty. (psst - this is mutual aid!)

Hey as most of the country gets plunged into terrible heat and humidity: if you got AC, use it. There is no special big kid prize for waiting until it hits a certain arbitrary temperature. Heat sickness comes on fast. Just use the damn thing.

Dealing with law enforcement can be stressful, so it’s important to know your rights before you’re face-to-face with ICE agents. While there’s never any guarantee that law enforcement officers will follow the law, here’s what they can and can’t legally do to you and what you can legally demand. ā¤µļø

Hughes Pollard of Rogers Park is usually said to have been a jazz drummer who died as a result of mustard gas in WW1. The War Dept looked for him in Chicago but couldn't find him! He was drumming overseas (probably not much jazz). Rogers Park tour tonight! www.eventbrite.com/e/virtual-to...

Filing a mining claim could save the public lands you love. This bill sells off every Americans birthright. For $274 you can gain exclusive rights to all the hard rock minerals. In this thread I will show you how you can file a mining claim. 1/? www.fieldandstream.com/stories/cons...
