NEW — I wrote a guide to the upcoming NYC Democratic mayoral primary for both locals and outsiders to understand wtf is going on, including my recommended ranking order + other helpful resources. Read and share:

Tomorrow: Chicago Join @haymarketbooks.org Saturday, June 7th at Haymarket House (800 W. Buena Ave.) for their Radical Used Book Fair! www.tickettailor.com/events/hayma...

I don’t know that we can really be overly alarmist at this point. I’ve been worrying about this because too many people, especially white middle class people, see cops as good. So trying to get them to see negatives leads to ‘well, these guys are obviously not trained. Must be the PB’s!’

Someone should probably tell them that OpenAI has been court ordered to retain all inputs and responses to be shared with lawyers during discovery in their court case. This is blatantly breaking HIPAA laws and may wind up in front of a judge.

These are the people that the city council wants to give the power to call snap curfews whenever they feel like. And arrest anyone they think doesn’t respond fast enough. Seems bad.

I learned who Mamdani was when he shouted at Tom Homan. I now know who Lander is because he’s out there escorting people away from ICE. I hope one of them wins and makes a point that we want politicians who DO things. Chicago, take note. I think we need some ranked choice voting.

Joining this reminder that @aaron.bsky.team, and consequently @safety.bsky.app, @moderation.bsky.app, and @jay.bsky.team, are willfully horrible people who should at a minimum never be entrusted with any kind of power over anyone or anything.

This is your reminder to support the on the ground journalists risking eyes and limbs to bring you the first draft of history

holy hell

I knew I couldn’t stand him for a reason. Wish i’d seen this earlier. Not that it would’ve mattered. But still.

Clashes? They ran over someone!

Chicago City budget season is coming up and I'd love our city to spend more on the effective nonprofit violence interrupters who are going to be out a lot of federal dollars and less on our police departments tactical police units who keep shooting our citizens and each other.

My god. If you’re in LA, be careful out there.

🚨🚨🚨LA EMERGENCY PROTEST🚨🚨🚨 From the Community Self Defense Coalition: STOP DEPORTATIONS NOW! ICE HAS HUNDREDS OF MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY KIDNAPPED AND IS HOLDING THEM AT THIS LOCATION Friday, June 6, 2025 4:30PM 535 Alameda St, LA, CA 90012 

"Multiple immigration sweeps reported across L.A.: ‘They’re everywhere’" I've seen like 5 different immigration raids / detentions in Los Angeles just this morning & afternoon. DO NOT PANIC. We must continue to organize & mobilize to protect our neighbors from these fascist pigs.

Sorry Biden gave all of our covid funds to the cops in 2021/22

French anti-terror prosecutors have opened a probe into "complicity in genocide" and "incitement to genocide" over French-Israelis suspected of having blocked aid intended for war-torn Gaza, a source close to the case said Friday.

Then they’ll shoot you. Good luck. Assuming these people aren’t ICE is gonna get someone killed. Assuming these people aren’t ICE tells me that you’ve never dealt with them before. Assuming these people aren’t ICE tells me you haven’t been out in the streets protesting either.

Grr. What bullshit. With ABC running cover. ‘Mistakenly’ They’re charging him so that they can say they’re bringing him back to face charges, not because the courts told them to. While the rest of them sit there and we don’t even know their names.

Ireland is providing support for the US government to deport people to third countries via Shannon airport. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/06/u...
