The only unsolved murder in my town happened in my house (my bedroom to be specific). My house is haunted as a result. A woman was murdered in her sleep, possibly by her estranged husband.

Patti Smith: Horses. One of the greatest albums of all time. Life-changing. This is the brand new 50th anniversary mastering with a bonus album. Been waiting for this since it was announced. #ArtIsResistance #vinyl #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #nowplaying #nowspinning #music

Awwww shit. JPL was a big part of my life when I was young. (My ex used to work there. Long enough ago that many of his former coworkers are probably retired now, but still.) It was a place of hope and excitement then, and everything I've seen since then said it still was.

You may have noticed that folks who are from Chicago love this city. There's a reason for that. I walked to the lake with friends yesterday, and when I saw the waves rolling in, I felt something shift back into place inside of me. So many parts of this city are part of me. We will defend this place.

To be clear: LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government. The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency. This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

ICE targeted an apartment building near my home. Masked agents in unmarked cars. I've said this before. Democratic Governors & Mayors need to order their local police depts to arrest any & all unidentified & masked alleged ICE agents. This anonymous denial of due process is deadly. 1/2

Coulda just called it the "Mo Klan" Ralley with 10 toes down. The world woulda been watching like they been watching floatillas.

This is very good! Keep organizing at your job

Farmers grow what they grow because of farm policy. We don’t need all the soy and corn that we grow, but those are the commodities that receive subsidies and markets. If we want something better, if we want to heal the Earth and grow food, now is the time to do it.

If Mike Johnson is refusing to call the House back into session during the shutdown, then we’ll do the work right here the Bronx. The New York Essential plan is being eliminated entirely next year due to the GOP healthcare cuts. People’s lives are at stake. And that’s why we’re fighting back.

This seems worth talking about

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members. They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

Poetry in motion.

CHICAGO: REBUILD is providing therapy to folks detained by ICE. Please feel free to let people know. findmeatherapist.org

Why is this old man commenting on what college age girls look like? Ick.

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

Sounds like an HR move per usual. Dont know how anyone with a conscience does that job

Meanwhile the largest social services agency in the 3rd largest county in my purple state. Closed its doors at close of business yesterday. They provided 211 & housing services, preschool & early intervention funding, parenting & GED classes.

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified. kfoxtv.com/news/local/e...

Still targeting press

It says nothing good about anything that many people thought there was an actual chance that man would receive a "Peace Prize."

The fact that so many US citizens have no idea Bad Bunny is also a US citizen (and don't believe he can be a US citizen) tells you that when they say "citizen," they really just mean white.

I am currently out of copies to give away, but if you are new to organizing and activism, and you could use some insight and guidance, you can find Let This Radicalize You at a discount here:

Do it like Chicago

Weird how the US is such a free country that we only have 4% of the world's population and yet we need three of the ten highest funded militaries on the planet. (Yes, US municipal police and ICE both have budgets that rank in the top ten of the world's militaries.)

Friends and comrades made a crowdfunding page for my family. It’s really hard to post this. I know that there are a lot of other important issues asking for money but things have gotten to the point where we need to open ourselves up to your support. Thank you for your consideration.

I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year. The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

I've said it before, I'll say it again: civil war is when the governments of the occupied territories meet force with force

No it won't end apartheid or dismantle the Occupation but I still want Netanyahu in the Hague and though it may be a fool's hope, I hope to see him there. Along with every member of his government and every western politician who supplied him.

@schumer.senate.gov Seen @johnfetterman.com lately? His websites & voicemails at all offices say he's closed due to the government shutdown?

This is important.

Jezus. First that B/W birds movie, the Wednesday now this???

he's going to come after you either way, so you might as well act with integrity

MAGA will be sieg heiling in droves by Christmas. Mark my words. They are full steam ahead on the nazi train at this point.

Mark Bray wrote a book on antifascism and was trying to leave the country with his family after being targeted by right-wing operatives and receiving death threats:

It's still Free Palestine, from the river to the sea. And may the name of Benjamin Netanyahu be erased.

Pritzker is offering the following at the moment: 1. Trust the courts. [not a viable strategy] 2. "Film the cops" 3. Vote in 2026 4. Protest [peacefully] And he knows this is not sufficient. Everyone does. He will not address the local cops angle because he might be deposed...

Guessing we should all get some eyes on this

Bondi claiming they arrested [checks notes] "the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa" has me in stitches

Since you can all hear the man say they took freedom of speech can be all go ahead with NAZIS now? This is settled

This very very very bad. I cannot stress this enough. I said that they crossed the Rubicon with arresting Ras Baraka several months ago. This is very bad and portends more bad things for regular people.

“ICE needs to go into Chicago because the Chicago police are incapable of protecting the city but ICE can’t protect themselves so the Chicago police must protect them” God I hate fascism so much

@johnfetterman.com Can you explain what you are doing with your paycheck if your offices are all closed & Im still paying federal taxes?? #grifter

2 high school kids were just arrested & charged with multiple felonies for bomb threats to s high school. One would think its an actual crime.

I wonder what would happen if an undetermined amount of people were to send donations to her campaign in his honor & trend it. $27 would probably do it.

You want to know what a couple of decades of standardized testing has done to literacy rates? Look around, friends.

Reminder that everything you post can be seen by law enforcement. Be smart, especially now, and don't snitch on yourself. Posting specifics about actions or promoting violence on social media is just a bad idea. There's a reason organizers and activists use Signal. You can't resist from a cage.

1. 4 months ago, The Supreme Court gave families a right to opt out of LGBTQ+ education in schools. Now, in Montgomery County, Maryland, where the case originated, the results are in. Only 43 families out of 160,000 students have exercised that new right. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Beyond not believing that ten cars rammed them, no rational person believed that was even spatially possible on a Chicago street. It makes no sense!
