Been saying this since February, even before I got arrested for protesting. People want Dems to fight, and it’s time to show up.

Protesting can be helpful & important, but lots of local food pantries & soup kitchens are struggling to operate this weekend because everyone will be protesting. If you aren't able to attend a protest or it's not your bag, consider filling in the gaps at orgs that help the community in other ways.

Chemicals found in the braiding hair have been linked to increased cancer risk & organ damage.. I literally chew on my braids when nervous or bored. I seal my braids in hot water. Sometimes burn them. Braids were supposed to be healthier than perms & other chemicals. Choose your hair carefully folxs

As futile as it may be, I just wrote to Senators Cornyn and Cruz to ask them to oppose the defunding of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which supports NPR, PBS, and their local affiliates. You can write to your senators here. 👇 protectmypublicmedia.org

Look for this in the coming months in Chicago, as the campaign to secure permanent & expanded funding for the Treatment Not Trauma program gets going. One major aspect of TNT is using social workers instead of cops for mental health crisis calls.

Randomly sitting down during a protest is not the same as a sit-in. Sitting as a form of protest has its time and place - and it's not the middle of a march Rubber bullets are often fired at the ground or below the waist - sitting puts your head in the line of fire Mounted police could trample you

Democrats in my inbox begging for emergency donations. Tell you what: donate some money to the bail funds of LA protestors who got arrested and I'll consider it. Do something good and useful with the money people send you instead of blowing it on diapers for Schumer.

Now: Couple hundred people assembling in the plaza at Ida B Wells and Michigan Ave in Chicago to protest ICE raids and kidnappings. This will be a thread for that.

This is insane and also I hope that seeing a US fucking senator thrown to the ground and cuffed for asking a question will help some of the people who still aren’t getting it to recognize that THE POLICE ARE THE SOURCE OF THE VIOLENCE

Happening now in Chicago at Michigan & Ida B Wells, protesters gather to oppose ICE’s operations. Twice this week, protesters have forced Chicago’s immigration court to close early, as ICE has moved to aggressively arrest people attending their court mandated hearings.

I was at a car wash in Culver City today that was raided twice last weekend by ICE. 25 car wash workers and 1 customer have been kidnapped over the past several days, and the whereabouts of most of them is unknown. I spoke to families of the kidnap victims: prospect.org/justice/2025...

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

You cannot separate the art from the artist ethically when a living artist is using your monetary and word of mouth support to eradicate the rights of trans and LGBTQIA+ people, particularly when said artist insists supporting her work is synonymous with supporting her agenda. Period.

Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.

I think it's important to continuously reiterate that federal science funding grants in the US (and elsewhere) are made because the government, with the input of panels of independent experts, have concluded that the work being done is IN THE INTEREST OF THE NATION.

The people of Los Angeles will rally on Monday, 6/9 to demand the release of everyone unjustly detained by ICE, like SEIU leader David Huerta, and an end to militaristic escalation on our communities. Join us and @aclusocal.bsky.social at 11 AM in LA to call for an end to these human rights abuses.
