I really love this piece. It helps frame things differently and reminds us that we are powerful in ourselves and with each other. I’m thinking of those who have taught me about this work and about the struggles of past and present. I am holding them close. We have nothing to lose but our chains.

Basic income is great AND it's HUGE for people experiencing any kind of life transition. Stress and precarity are worse together than each alone and they both compromise your ability to learn, plan, execute rigidly structured tasks and other stuff we expect people to do during major life shifts.

No one's safe from fascism except the person at the top. Mussolini described fascism as the people subservient to the State & the State represented by the person in charge. BIPOC, disabled, Jewish, Muslim, antifa, even VPs that defy orders. We all exist to enrich & empower Trump now. We must resist.

Support this important bookstore. Because we sure know we can't depend on the internet to keep information safe anymore, and they're an important resource to their community.

I just sent Gov. Pritzker an email asking him to pardon the six people the article mentions. If you're in IL, you can shoot the gov an email, too.

The United States purposely goes to Central America and the Pacific with promises of citizenship for those who enlist. They’re then left in limbo sometimes for years trying to complete the process of citizenship and naturalization.

There's been a nice spotlight on efforts to build "missing middle" housing here in Chicago this last week. @corli.thetriibe.com covered a North Lawndale open house highlighting the city's new bond-funded Missing Middle Infill program for the @thetriibe.com. thetriibe.com/2025/02/nort...

No dobut, some of this will happen. The real danger is Black prisoners filling the private prisons and becoming victims of debt slavery. Black ppl are likely to see more foreclosures and gross abuse in debt collection practices. We will also see more "chain gang" style work programs. Subservience

An essential read for white leftists. Chicago is home to the longest running jail support effort uninterrupted since 2020, so I don’t believe we will sit idly by. AND we have to ask ourselves what we are willing to risk to protect the most vulnerable NOW, not after it’s already started.

In the 1980s, Trump said he didn’t want Black guys counting his money. He accused the Central Park 5 of being guilty even after their exoneration. He pushed for Obama to prove he was born in the U.S. What are Black celebrities thinking by entertaining Trump? thetriibe.com/2025/02/crit...

As soon as I saw this proposed awhile back, I knew what it was code for. Americans still voted for this. I cannot pretend like they aren't responsible. And I knew, that like she stated here, if this is allowed to happen, we will never see these people again. They will take innocents too.
