Northwestern and Columbia being famous for journalism and bending over for Trump seems a little too on the nose these days

Folks from a local elementary school in my area are trying to raise $1300 to cover the December rent of a family that's struggling due to an ICE abduction. You can donate through this local church's Zelle. Pls note that your donation is for the "Kilmer family" (Kilmer is the name of the school):

This is what workers mean when they say “union busting is disgusting,” and it’s why the trade should be illegal.

“Words can’t describe the immense relief we have as a family right now.”

Killing is bad, and to that end I'd like to call attention to the dozens killed in small boats in the southern Caribbean by the Trump Administration and the estimated 600,000 who've died of preventable disease and starvation thanks to the administration's destruction of USAID.

I think that’s a clear signal of who gets to work in journalism / media and who doesn’t. That you can help elevate a presidential candidate that you’re having a romantic relationship with, advise and strategize for him, and keep your position. But if you so much as post about Gaza then that’s it.

I think plenty of it speaks to the state of the media, but an obvious one is that Vox and Vanity Fair barely investigated her and that she managed to commit an unforgivable journalistic crime before getting a book deal and walking into another prestige job, while plenty of others are being laid off

hi pets, me and wife are scared but very close to living in a safe place, so we come here asking for mutual aid. any help is welcome. ko-fi.com/tabymeow my medical condition is a lot clearer since the schizophrenia diagnosis. i suffer from a pain disorder caused by trauma, and it's uncertain if +

You shouldn't care because it might happen to you someday. You should care because it is happening to others RIGHT NOW.

Thanksgiving is tomorrow and we haven’t reached our goal. Any amount helps cover groceries and hot meals already ordered. Since 2020 we’ve delivered real support when no one else would. Paterson is depending on us. Please donate and share. www.gofundme.com/f/support-bl...

*moderate* means in the pocket of the banks and NYC real estate among other things. This is not good at all.

This is an insightful but deeply upsetting article about why everyone in the US feels poor, and why the current political situation emerges as a direct result. www.yesigiveafig.com/p/part-1-my-...

"Many garment workers make Nike products for below $1 per hour ... If Nike had returned the $18 billion it is spending on buybacks to workers instead, it could offer a $125 per month raise to every garment worker who makes Nike products for 10 years — doubling the wages of many."

i hope the cop who injured my sibling is having a horrible day

Police have access to massive surveillance networks that track the public whether they are suspects or not. That means probably for every 1 officer caught using the system to harass or spy on people they have feuds with, ex's, activists, journalists, there are probably 100 more we don't know about.

This Thanksgiving, countless families will sit down for dinner without their loved ones, as nearly 2 million people are confined behind bars, far away from home. The harms of mass incarceration are felt by us all.

somehow it's "hoarding" when I keep my old tech as long as possible and resent forced obsolescence but not "hoarding" when billionaires and tech companies suck up all the money and burn though the planet in search of endless growth

These cruel punishments are not about "rehabilitating" people – data show they do just the opposite. Conditions like this shouldn't exist in any prison, and a president should definitely not be weaponizing them against people who benefited from reform.

At the start of his second term, Trump immediately directed that all 37 incarcerated people who received a commutation be moved to one of the harshest prisons in the U.S., a place described as “much worse than death”:

Americans are paying 11% more for electricity than they were at the beginning on this year. And these rising electricity prices means more people are unable to pay, so more people are getting their power shutoff. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

potentially controversial but i do not like lobotomy jokes either

theres a type of white cis guy that thinks just bc they have experienced discrimination in one way they know everything there is to know about other forms of oppression and should get to speak over others. or maybe that others shouldn’t speak at all.

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics. It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT. It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse. Transgender care saves lives.

Besides arguing that Israel, the U.S., and some European governments have committed genocide in Gaza, prosecutors at the International People’s Tribunal on Palestine told jurors that the environmental devastation in the enclave amounts to ecocide.

In Morrow County, healthy adults were coming down with unexplained medical conditions, including diseases that usually afflicted the elderly. In a survey of 30 homes, at least 25 miscarriages and a half dozen people living with one kidney were reported. 🔗 www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

they were "controversial" for murdering palestinians at their food distribution sites.

Trump to supporters: I can only earn my way into heaven by finishing my divine mission to save America--so send me money. www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat...

Amazon says it will spend up to $50 billion on AI infrastructure to support the U.S. government. The tech giant says the project will let government agencies develop AI solutions.

The article is called "Out With Woke". He specifically calls for sacrificing all marginalized communities upon the altar of the revered white male. Is that how desperate liberals have gotten for any sort of hollow "win"?

new episode of ill conceived where we ask the question ‘what is childhood?’

Back in July, I wrote about my comrade Brandon and his steady & consistent mutual aid work. I just saw that he posted this on FedBook a few minutes ago. You can read what I wrote about him & his work here: prisonculture.substack.com/p/the-magic-... People are in motion, everywhere.

Yesterday I tried to put everything I knew about whistles—where to get them, where to get instruction sheets, how to distro—into one place so you can build off it for your own community's whistle needs: dansinker.com/posts/2025-1...

Help us send 2,000 books to readers who are incarcerated this winter through our Books Not Bars program

Another brilliant essay from @eryk.bsky.social, this time he writes the history of ChatGPT against the backdrop of mass loneliness and social distance. This history is still unfolding and the signs are not encouraging for where we are headed.

To resurrect Gaza, the world must reckon with the genocide. Despite the ceasefire, Israel is blocking access to cement.

what is happening today

it’s crazy how badly hakeen jefferies needs to be primaried and taken out of office

New: cops used Flock AI-enabled cameras to monitor No Kings protests around the country. Also monitored No Hands protests and protests against DOGE. "Should serve as a warning of how it may be used in the future to suppress dissent." www.404media.co/cops-used-fl...

Judge says improperly deported man now missing in Venezuela

But no resolutions condemning fascism, huh?

Hundreds of Starbucks baristas and labor organizers blockaded Starbucks' largest distribution center in York, Pennsylvania, halting distribution of syrups, coffee beans, and other supplies to the entire northeast. This escalation is part of @sbworkersunited.org's ongoing strike.

As the Department of Education is further dismantled, the US political elite vote to condemn what they and the overwhelming majority of the US public cannot define: socialism.

The CDC has altered its webpage on vaccine safety and autism to reflect the false anti-vaccine talking points peddled by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The new language contradicts decades of evidence-based research that has found zero link between childhood vaccinations and autism.

In 1947, the United Nations General Assembly committed the UN’s original sin when it partitioned Palestine to create Israel. This launched the Nakba, the ethnic cleansing of the Indigenous people, and the establishment of a settler colonial state.

At a recent gathering of Rogers Park volunteers, we heard from a neighbor who choked up telling us about their dad turning around and going home when he heard whistles up the street. "One of you may have saved his life that day." It all matters, it really does.
