What happened today in Chicago is evil. Just talked to someone who was there. Masked federal agents brandishing large guns & shoving unarmed protestors, including an elected. Detained people who had reported voluntarily. CPD seeming to illegally collaborate to facilitate immigration enforcement.

Isn’t crime… down? Why do we need this?

Hey y’all! We only got one donation today. If we can get to $25,000, we can start accepting housing relief applications again and restart the program for the women and babies through Mother’s Day 365! Anything helps! tpfwoman2woman.funraise.org

NEW: ICE has quietly rescinded a policy requiring agents to ensure courthouse raids don't clash with state and local laws. WIRED detected the missing language in a superseding memo posted to ICE's website this week. by me and @dmehro.bsky.social:

Yet again, we need to teach people some fucking history.

The 3rd Way Democrats hate you more than they hate fascism and absolutely will allow you to die well before they ever take action against any one of the fascists in the republican party Because third way corporate Democrats see the fascist as equals, and you are the lesser being.

🚨BREAKING: Gaza has become "an abbatoir where starving people are lured out through combat zones to be shot at", says Kit Malthouse MP. "If the situation were reversed, we would now be mobilising the British armed forces as part of an international protection force", he adds.

In undergrad I used to do my homework in the stacks, whether I actually needed them or not. It made me hard to find, I did occasionally need things, and sometimes just opening a random journal would shake things loose in my brain.

WHO FUCKING CARES Means testing kills. Enough of this.

What with my lack of trust in technology, I have a full US road atlas in my car along with maps of Chicago and the Chicago area. Wanted to be able to get around if cell or satellite service crashed.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a new “I’m an ally, so back off.” Congrats to moomoof. Let’s all take a minute this morning to remember what we’re fighting for.

"The real enemy of my people is right here." #tdih 1967 Muhammad Ali & many leading African American male athletes held a solidarity press conference in Cleveland after Ali announced his refusal to serve in the U.S. military in Vietnam. #TeachOutsideTextbook #TeachTruth ⬇️

Convinced Newsom is going through the back catalog of “Behind the Bastards” and inviting any bastard who’s still alive onto his show.

Anyone want to donate some FOIA help? I want to see how many letters Uber got its users to send to each legislator but don't exactly want to do 177 myself

Oh come on. ACTUAL spam. Something that ought to be dealt with. I presume bluesky’s AI moderation tool is failing.

I think of this every time I see news outlets reporting Minneapolis police statements/releases as if they are fact. (In case you aren't familiar with it, this is the initial press release about the murder of George Floyd.)

The forces of oppression have lost their social battle over rights and freedoms, and neither the media nor those in power can impose a single narrative anymore. Despite their danger, their structural weakness reflects a real crisis within their system, which tries to buy time through violence and

please help support Jaia Cruz she really needs the community behind her right now here is her jpay information we have to look out for each other no matter what

I have never in my life, seen anything like this, and I would actually like to ask anyone else if they’ve ever seen whole groups of federal officials obscuring their names and replacing it with “the others” or if this is new.

According to @thiagoavilabtasil on Instagram there is a drone over them as of 30 mins ago. Please tell everyone to demand a safe passage. Put Israel on notice bit.ly/IsraelOnNotice

@freedomflotilla.bsky.social has stated repeatedly that people actively monitoring the journey & documenting their progress as well as any threats, intimidation, or acts of violence are THE best way to try & ensure safety, as in this case visibility = safety. Spread the word!

I wrote about the confusion created by disgruntled voters who believe that voting is enough, and the trouble many have visualizing an alternative. Fear, frustration, and the work of those who came before us are not an excuse to promote inaction or resignation. prismreports.org/2025/06/03/i...

💯- ICE can be repelled. We do it in Chicago, we’ve done it in MPLS and SanDiego. Make sure hate has no home by bringing back public booing
