People should read this in the context of the MULTI-YEAR campaign led mostly by young Black people in Chicago to INSIST that U Chicago open a level 1 trauma center on the Southside. blockclubchicago.org/2026/02/26/a...

The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today. Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere. Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.

“We will never know it all, will never have the full set of conditions and dynamics to be able to plot out all of our steps. And we also cannot be afraid to move, even in times of turbulence and unpredictability. In fact, moving in such moments is even more critical.” - @gulabjammin.bsky.social

"What we need are possibilities, not certainty."

Something I think about a lot is how people with cancer often get abandoned by friends and family and this piece on finding community support through cancer and how that mirrors sustainable organizing helped me make some connections in my brain.

“Mutual care is not just a survival strategy, but also a direct route to community power building… We cannot win without each other.” The wonderful Amisha Patel offers powerful lessons she's learned through her fight against cancer, to inform our fight against fascism. truthout.org/articles/fig...

IL is on the verge of electing a Senator far more aligned with Trump, MAGA power brokers & ICE infrastructure expansion than the values of a deep-blue state. Here’s what Raja Krishnamoorthi hopes you don’t know about him & how we elect someone better.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall. But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

🚨"I'm a nurse...my brown patients are choosing to stop chemo because they do not want to be abducted." -ICE protester tells JT Cestkowski about sick Minnesotans foregoing cancer treatment because of ICE terror. LIVE NOW ⬇️

Krishnamoorthi takes money from key MAGA like Marc Andreessen and Palantir execs. And from right wing Hindutva. But says he’s going to fight Trump? Illinois voters, do not vote for this man.

Ok Brooklyn! rocky mamdani 😂

My god

Today so far feds in Chicagoland have: Attacked & arrested protesters at the Broadview detention center w/the help of the ISP other agencies Tear gassed a street in Logan Square that has a grocery store & elementary school on it, among other things Violently handcuffed an Alderperson It's 3pm

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

Suddenly: tremendous amount of gas and pepper balls fill the road. People running, canisters exploding.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

“Being taken as a slave is better than being killed, no?” the clip says. “Before you judge, you must ask yourself, ‘What did the culture and the society of the time treat as no big deal?'” Video from right-wing media group Trump may tap to replace public broadcasting. thegrio.com/2025/08/14/p...

So utterly corrupt and outrageous. A must read.

So, talking about do-nothing Dems who gave into the powerful hedge fund managers and tech bros means you’ll distinguish yourself, and close carried interest loopholes in Illinois, Pass the digital tax in Illinois, and raise billions to fund our schools, healthcare for immigrants, and more? 🙌🏾

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

Oooh more of this please!

NEW — Our art director @ash.thetriibe.com traveled in the caravan of progressive organizers from Chicago to Washington, D.C. in support of Mayor Johnson. Ash documented the trip in this photo essay. thetriibe.com/2025/03/behi...

So here for Chicago’s False Spring #1 🦋

TONIGHT! CM Punk comes to the ring on Raw with a Chicago Teachers Union shirt. Given former WWE CEO Linda McMahon’s new Trump gig destroying the dept of ed, given her anti-union past, given the CTU’s history defending public schools, this is 🔥. ‘CM’ stands for “Chicago Made” and that’s real af.

“We don’t have a border crisis; we have a labor crisis. The real villains aren’t migrants — they’re the politicians and corporations who profit from instability.” Thank you Griesa at @unitedwedream for this powerful oped.

Hero. 🇸🇩🇵🇸

The first pivot we need to make is to choose. To choose is to move. And move we must. Pivots are made with the ready, not the reluctant. Move in ways that the ready are more and more in relationship with each other. Build community. Model the way that we can be. Teachings of Roshi Norma Wong ✨

ICE agents try to enter Hamline Elementary on the South Side of Chicago today. This is where resources are going - to try a d terrify and threaten our communities. abc7chicago.com/post/us-immi...

Unapologetically loving, brave, and clear. We must all be unapologetic in our actions towards wholeness.

My first 14 pills of a GENERIC chemo drug this month cost me $500. The millions of people out there who have been and still are in my shoes…

Really helpful - lots of good things in here.

So many beautiful nuggets in this article - I can’t wait to read the book! Thank you @mayaschenwar.bsky.social ♥️♥️♥️
