I’m working on a theory about how we are starting to see a complete societal split based on how much humanity you are willing to surrender to technology. I believe this split will be so consequential that very soon the two groups will not be able to communicate with each other or socially relate.

Turns out defunding ICE means tanking the economy, so really it’s a matter of national security that we don’t ever abolish it.

they’re abducting our neighbors and putting them in concentration camps and they’ll empty a whole goddamn magazine into you while you’re lying on the ground if you don’t cheer them on while they’re fucking doing it.

Why bomb Venezuelan boats? Why are there so many Venezuelan migrants? Why the obsession with Tren de Aragua? Why are we sending the CIA into Venezuela? Why did the US collapse the Venezuelan economy with sanctions? Why is Chevron propping up the Venezuelan economy and supporting a dictatorship?

In Chicago we have alders that represent 50 different community areas. I went to my Alderwoman’s office this morning to ask about her silence on the ICE activity in our ward. After a poor exchange I wanted to share the follow-up letter I sent:

This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.

In Chicago, public roads are used to store private vehicles en masse—sometimes even for free. And yet my local bike lane has oil stains from the cars that regularly use it as overflow parking.

Public parks are for all—housed and unhoused. But also when a park turns into an housing encampment, the park is no longer for all. It’s ok to balance that complexity.

When I see people online, even in jest, suggest that people living in Republican-controlled states should be abandoned because of their politicians, I feel a deep heartache. New York CREATED Donald Trump and none of y’all are ever talk about it the way you disparage Alabama or Mississippi.

I still think the best idea for progressive donors is to just revive every alt-weekly in the country and staff them with 10 reporters each.

The university was told that the student’s visa had been terminated, its president said in a late-night email to students and faculty members.

Being against the Palestinian genocide—implemented by the Israel settler state and funded by the US—is irreproachable. Being convinced to attack the Capitol because of election lies—implemented by the President and funded by billionaire dark money—is insurrection.
