"She carried her sick daughter, who was dressed in a onesie. She saw other mothers with half-naked children — some were barefoot, others wore only diapers. “They didn’t give them a chance to even put clothes on their kids,” she said."

Nice

"Like housed immigrants ... who have been forced to miss work and forgo trips to the grocery store, unhoused [people] have lost access to life-sustaining resources because of the danger posed by ICE and other federal agents."

Really hard to escape 2009 these days huh

Zohran’s win is massive — and it’s just the beginning. It’s a moment of tremendous hope, and a moment that we can and must build on. We have the opportunity here to change course, but only if we seize it and turn our beautiful celebration into transformative change. www.jphilll.com/p/zohran-mam...

This morning, ICE officers abducted a Chicago teacher from the daycare where she works. “One might call it domestic terrorism, and it would be correct," Alderperson Andre Vasquez said at a press conference held today with other local leaders. www.thecarceralreport.com/p/federal-of...

“This case, ladies and gentleman of the jury, is about a sandwich.” Closing arguments from the defense in the DC sandwich guy case are now underway.

The cope is rolling in

We are so fucking back

Issue 72 of Baltimore Beat is live! Our cover is a photograph of artist Amy Sherald. It was taken by SHAN Wallace.

They rigged it against Sliwa

Just putting this prediction down for posterity: Zohran: 54% Cuomo: 24% Sliwa: 22%

One immensely satisfying thing about today is that Elon Musk can crash out, Donald Trump can be pissed off, Michael Bloomberg can burn another $5 million dollars, and none of that will stop Zohran from becoming the next mayor of New York City.

In this episode of the Working People Podcast with @maximillianalvarez.bsky.social, Osadebe and Heenan respond to their termination and give critical insight into steps the American public and federal workers can take to shed light on unjust practices.

The far-right weirdos who say we have no obligation to care for one another are in the minority. Most people don’t want our government to suddenly stop feeding the hungry. Most people want to live in a society where we care for, and feed, each other. www.jphilll.com/p/yes-the-go...

The U.S. spends over $180 billion on cops and incarceration every year. The annual SNAP budget is $100 billion.

“Gaza is home because our memories are etched into every street, & Gazans are the heartbeat of the city.” Gaza once held our stories. Now we carry its memories, Taqwa Ahmed Al-Wawi vows. “[We will] breathe new life into her again.”

can’t believe “de blasio impersonator” is in the news and it isn’t your girl

It’s about to get ugly. Odds are millions are about to go hungry, starting at the end of this week. Our duty is not just to feed as many people as we can, but to organize, transform underlying conditions, beat fascism, and not allow this travesty to continue. www.jphilll.com/p/millions-a...

A dispatch from SCI Huntingdon in Pennsylvania about the time Luigi Mangione arrived at the prison.

"Palestinians are still being routinely murdered and displaced in Gaza and in the occupied West Bank. The theft of Palestinian land via settlement and colonization remains ongoing. ... [I]t is safe to assume that these changes in public opinion [against supporting Israel] will only continue."

"Public education cannot claim to serve 'all students' while it allows some to be quietly disappeared into detention." "Our students belong in classrooms, not cells." "[W]e have to step up the fight to bring [Dylan & Mouctar] home now." #NewYork #Incarceration #Deportation #EthnicCleansing

As a wise commenter said, still go vote and end Cuomo’s political career 🥳

Zohran is easily going to clear 50%. In addition to everything else Cuomo’s name is hard to find on the ballot because he’s running under some random party lol

this is what posting with you guys feels like

A big congratulations and well done to the beautiful nation of Ireland

ICE is tear gassing schools

"[T]he Ecuadorian man who survived a U.S. strike last week was released from custody ... [H]e has no record of affiliation with crime."

I don't like it when the Duolingo owl is swole

It took a long time, and a lot of trial and error, for me to go from a politics based around protest to a politics of organizing for power. I hope my journey can save you a whole lot of time. www.jphilll.com/p/my-journey...

AI needs fascism, and fascism needs AI. We have to fight this nexus of Big Tech and the fascist regime. Together they’ve formed a deadly alliance against democracy, and against the working class. www.jphilll.com/p/ai-needs-f...

If you’re at a No Kings protest today, please think about how you can keep plugging into organizing tomorrow.

The only thing that anyone ever needs to know about Bill Ackman is that he once joined a group of avid long distance bikers from NYC to Montauk and back without training or preparation, arrogant in his ability to "lead the pack" and ended up screaming in agony

The critiques of No Kings are funny to me. Sure it’s a huge gathering of a buncha libs. But yo, you say yr a radical … show up and organize some ppl then

Zohran Mamdani: I want to make housing and transportation affordable for the common person Andrew Cuomo: if you elect Zohran we will have 10 9/11s a day Curtis Sliwa: The events of Godzilla 1998 actually happened and I lead the team of French mercenaries that killed her babies in MSG

It’s time to outlaw ASMR

In short:

I wrote about how AI has destroyed trust in the videos and images we see online, how tech oligarchs couldn’t care less, and the Butlerian Jihad (kinda). www.jphilll.com/p/ai-and-the...

Look out!

Our pay equity bills are up for a vote today — and we’re confident they will pass. These bills follow the cutting-edge blueprints set by the European Union and the UK — proven models for closing wage gaps and bringing pay equity out of the shadows.

Some bi personal should have a yearly party and call it the biannual party

Had a couple hours to kill in Denver before a flight, walked into Tattered Cover and saw some familiar titles!

One thing that needs to be hammered home about fascists: they’re a bunch of whiny fucking losers. The heart of the movement is men who always wanted to be bullies but are too weak and insecure to even do that properly. Link: www.jphilll.com/p/why-are-fa....

Classic big tech. It’s not enough to destroy the planet, everyone else has to subsidize it too.

The Feds are giving right wing influencers and media outlets special privileges to the ICE building in Portland. They’re lying about local media getting the same access. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...
