our struggles are interconnected in ways we can't even imagine

We have a stunning story from @thomasbirm.bsky.social in @thenation.com. It's about how one of Israel's biggest companies, with deep ties to the IDF and illegal settlements, is taking over huge swathes of US real estate—with tenants paying the price. A MUST-read. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

oh turns out the biggest losers in the world live in Belgium, interesting www.politico.eu/article/far-...

"Pete Hegseth’s MAGA vision for the 'Department of War' ultimately makes no distinction between military, social, cultural and religious conflicts." @alfatau.bsky.social on how Hegseth is building "an insidiously indefinite notion of war at the heart of MAGA" @inthesetimes.com.

BREAKING: We won! Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years. pghguild.com/2025/11/10/p...

Get in, everyone. Starbucks workers are gonna win.

@bradlander.bsky.social your country needs you...

Schumer is not bad at something good, he is good at something bad.

Interesting "if you are poor we are cutting off your food, if you're not we're gonna fuck up your holiday travel" strategy

If there was ever a time for NIMBYs to shine, this is it. Each and every effort by ICE to expand their footprint by a square inch should be met with environmental impact review lawsuits, challenges to conditional use permits, traffic studies, the whole shebang.

This guy needs Joe Biden's presidential CPAP

Zohran Mamdani has made history as New York City’s first Muslim, socialist mayor — and for In These Times contributor, @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social, his victory feels like a love letter to the New York that both embraced and opened the world to her.

@bradlander.bsky.social knows the assignment.

For @inthesetimes.com I argued that "New Yorkers will only win the campaign promises Mamdani ran on  if they keep the movement that elected him alive." I am so happy to see the 104,000 volunteers are not going home.... inthesetimes.com/article/zohr...

Free Her. Free. Them. All.

Andrew Cuomo warned that if “the socialist wing wins, the Democratic Party dies.” After Zohran Mamdani’s landslide in NYC, @milesklassin.bsky.social argues it might finally be time to build something new. inthesetimes.com/article/zohr...

Federal agents in Chicago are aggressive everywhere but they elevate this in the SW Side. They don’t just snatch people and leave. They linger longer, march down streets with guns, interrupt traffic flows. The attacks feel concerted to instill as much fear & display power over immigrant mhoods.

Art points to the government table and says "these defendants should be ashamed of themselves. "It's a disgrace. And one of the great things about our Constitution, is that if that's what we think, we can say it."

Bernie would have won.

Hey I know another administration ADL could look at if wants to find some real doozy Jew haters

so proud of Senator Omar Fateh, his campaign team, and everything they did to put up a good fight against the entire bullshit status quo of both the DFL and the right wing

make sure you read @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social on this moment

I’m enormously proud of what the socialist left in the United States has accomplished over the past decade. We’ve gone from nowhere to everywhere, working to build a majority coalition that can defeat fascist authoritarianism by transforming everyday people’s material conditions.

hell cannot be hot enough

As is always true, the political reaction to election results is not given, it will be contested. And the so called centrists aren’t confused, they are advancing their own project, that has very different aims.

Last night was wonderful, but I'm watching what happens in two federal courtrooms in Chicago today. This morning, a critical hearing on the unconstitutional tactics of federal officers in "Operation Midway Blitz." chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

HELL YEAH DENZEL WON! www.bridgedetroit.com/is-denzel-mc...

Controversial early election day take: I think that pro-democracy forces' best strategy vis-a-vis elections is to win them. If I was in VA I would be voting for the CIA lady who I frequently disagree with, and if I was in NYC I'd be voting for the socialist guy who I mostly agree with.

Chicagosky loves a hyperlocal holiday and since we do not have an election today, it's Michael Rabbitt Legal Fund day over here! Michael was indicted for protesting at Broadview. He's the 45th ward committeeman and a principled leader building an engaged community on the NW side. We need this guy.

Around Chicago ICE/Border Patrol are mostly just driving around looking for landscaping crews. It’s not targeted by threat or criminal background. It’s just Kavanaugh sweeps of brown men in work clothes operating landscaping equipment to hit quotas. They’re not investigating, they’re hunting

Extremely honored to have run this piece last week from the national leaders of @ueunion.org. Carl Rosen and Mark Meinster's last public act as they hand over the reins was to stand up for Palestine. Principled leaders who know that struggle is a long game. inthesetimes.com/article/gaza...

I can't think of anything to say

Today’s front page, the times they are crazy

At 7 pm tonight, catch our LIVE interview. Waldemar Oliveira of @Hammerandhope and Pedro Borges from @Alma Preta unveil the details and politics of what is being described as Rio's most deadly police raid and what it means for our communities. youtube.com/live/qnAw4L5...

Appreciate this coverage but it is hard to explain to people not in the Chicago area that THESE ARE NOT PROTESTS. This is people coming out of their homes, doing anything in their power to try to stop their neighbors from being kidnapped. It is coming for your city next, please be prepared.

I just don’t think we’re freaking out enough about this SNAP cut. I have spent my whole career working with people who rely on SNAP for food. People who work multiple jobs. Who have kids. What do you think happens when 1/8th of the population can’t buy food anymore? Everything is going to collapse.

Rep Tom Barrett would rather take food from the hungry than give care to the sick. If he won't lift a finger to help his constituents, I will. I'm holding vigil for 30 hours leading up to the SNAP cutoff deadline, and collecting donations for the Greater Lansing Food Bank. bit.ly/cd7food

I can confirm that Willian Giménez González, beloved day laborer leader and advocate for his fellow workers, has been freed from ICE detention and is back in Chicago! For those interested in supporting him and his family, here is a GoFundMe.

very Trump-ian to attempt to to actually replace a US citizen with a foreign national tbh www.yahoo.com/entertainmen...

I'll also add that people should follow and support @truthout.org and @inthesetimes.com too.

Please consider coming out to this event. This is an important book, and there is much to discuss about its implications. You can RSVP here. www.tickettailor.com/events/hayma...

Little Village Lawndale High School opened 20 years ago after a 19-day hunger strike was waged in 2001 by community residents fighting for a school for the neighborhood. The students continue that activist legacy today, as their neighborhood is one of the centers of attacks against immigrants.

“Chicago is the future.“ @joseolivarez.bsky.social for @chicagomag.com

lol I'm sorry these guys are fucking hilarious, how long does Bovino spend on that hair every morning

'No Neutrals There' is out TODAY. I hope it's useful for understanding how US unions have been deeply involved in Palestine for the past 100+ years & why today's unionists have a special responsibility to aid the cause of Palestinian freedom. www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2608-n...

Greetings from the Dirksen federal courthouse, where Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino is set to appear before U.S. District Court Judge Sara Ellis. What you need to know, for @wttw.bsky.social:

Like I said... I assume NOTHING re: the NYC electorate except that folks usually live down to expectations. If you don't want Cuomo as Mayor then you need to get out to vote. Vote early if you can.

This report by @rebeccaburns.bsky.social raises troubling questions about the role of the landlord in the federal raid on the apartment complex at 7500 South Shore Drive. Agents "appear to have received advance information about the building’s occupants that led them to target certain apartments"

“It costs a lot more money to evict someone than it does to call ICE on them" @rebeccaburns.bsky.social at @inthesetimes.com inthesetimes.com/article/evic...
