Wait I missed the detail that this was AT A HOSPITAL WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE.

Absolutely buckwild that Pritzker or any other Dem elected responsible for or supporting what’s happening this morning thinks this won’t go viral.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

An ICE agent unholstered his gun at a protest this morning. Please don't let yourself become numb to this.

#SaveSpeech US legislators are pushing harder to pass KOSA and repeal section 230. Call your representatives ASAP and make your voice heard! Advocate for protecting section 230, and demand your reps oppose KOSA!

We now have an Instagram account that does similar to what is done here. Give it a follow. www.instagram.com/mkeshows

ICE terrorized communities across Chicagoland today. Things are accelerating. We can say with confidence it's going to get worse. Please prepare.

MADISON, Wis. – Today, Rep. Ryan Clancy announced legislation developed and supported by advocates for the rights of sex workers and sex trafficking survivors designed to encourage safe reporting of alleged criminal acts to authorities. (1/10)

For too long, Wisconsin SWers & trafficking victims have been UNABLE to SEEK EMERGENCY CARE SERVICES or REPORT AN ASSAULT w/o facing ARREST. Yesterday, @ryanclancywi.bsky.social introduced LRB-3611, a bill aimed to change just that—and make Wisconsin a safer place for everyone. #lrb3611

The homies finally dropped their new album. It's been too long millikenchamber.bandcamp.com/album/hyperp...

I’ve been working on the mechanics of this account for a bit. Please follow, share, and add shows. Hoping this can continue to be a grow and be a great resource for the city.

Now this is a journalist who deserves respect.

Tonight at Cactus Club. Come out.

they’re kidnapping trans women and forcing them to choose between male detention centers, where theyll be tortured, sexually abused and forcibly detransitioned, and leaving her whole life behind via self-deportation. but please go on with your “reasonable concerns” about trans rights

Robert Roberson (yes, that is his real name) is an Autistic man who may be put to death for a murder that, not only didn't he commit, it never happened assumed lack of grief (alexithymia?) was enough for him to become the scapegoat of authorities plz light up the phone lines of the TX gov't reps

Quote: "Sex workers have run our throats hoarse screaming about this: With the power to demonetize platforms that so many queer and trans people rely on to survive, payment processors effectively dictate our culture now. Visa, MasterCard, Stripe, Paypal, they decide who lives and dies.” 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

yes, this happened to a cis person in this case. yes, it will happen to more cis people. i would love it if people could stop acting as if that is now the reason to care

Woke up thinking about this some more. Let’s get into it.

Al-Sharif killed in what appears to be a targeted Israeli attack on tent housing journalists outside al-Shifa hospital.

Happening now: protesters in Chicago are interrupting a hiring fair at the Congress Hotel, where U.S. Customs and Border protection is recruiting today. Banner reads, "stop kidnapping our neighbors!" It's quite the scene in here, and the DHS table has been blocked for several minutes already.

A Chicago woman went to immigration court. Her case was dismissed; she and her infant were taken by federal agents who turned her over to contractor MVM. They spent five days confined at the Sonesta O'Hare hotel without communication to the outside world. My first byline at @injusticewatch.org:

A reminder not to let the National Center On Sexual Exploitation's official-sounding name fool you: they're the rebranded busybody group "Morality In Media", whom you might remember from such hits as "Trying to have Life Of Brian pulled from theatres" and "trying to connect queerness to mass murder"

Is there anyone I know have any experience with API’s, RSS feeds, and/or Webhooks? I’ve been slowly trying to figure out a reliable way to have new shows created on mkeshows.com posted to sns (here and Instagram), but I’m a little in over my head.

I wish a very happy “fuck you” to everyone who thought throwing trans people under the bus was going to stop these lunatics Their goal has *always* been the eradication of the entire LGBTQ+ community, and they’re not gonna stop at Obergefell either This is why we fight for *everyone*

Let's Keep Calling!

Never thought we’d get to play with Unholy Grave. Also very pumped Radiation Blackbody is playing and I get to see them another time.

"Incarcerated workers are a part of the working class,” journalist @kimkelly.bsky.social says. And we are “not telling the real history of labor in this country if [we’re] not focusing on the organizing efforts & the labor of people who are in prison” @therealnews.com therealnews.com/prison-labor...

Please share this widely. We need as many people to submit comments supporting access to this care as possible.

Hey! This ACLU petition to stop payment processors like Visa and Mastercard from censoring content across the internet is getting SO close to the signature goal!!! action.aclu.org/petition/mas... If you live in the USA, please take a moment to sign!

You’ve seen what’s happened to us in the UK in the last few days. Don’t let it happen to you. Call your reps.

The era of institutionalization was rife with horror, and deinstitutionalization + the rise of community care has allowed millions to live more independently with dignity over decades I hate these eugenicist fascists with every drop of blood in me

so when you… • force this tech on most everyone • block it from acknowledging trans people even exist • remove lgbtq people from human rights reporting & allow ICE to conceal info on trans people in custody …it seems like a good time for cis folks to stop considering political “compromises.”

Finally, I can be openly excited about this. So pumped.

So you know how Steam updates their TOS to restrict "NSFW" content at the request of payment processors like Visa and Mastercard? The group behind that pressure campaign is coming after Itch.io. If you are selling books on itch, this concerns you. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

My and the boys doing the deal next month.

also not to be killjoy but there's absolutely nothing stopping bandcamp from doing this. and then what?

i often think about when an xAi representative went in front of the community they’re destroying with how how much pollution they create to operate grok and just lied to the entire town

Today I am unveiling my new solo experimental music project, Fall Tragedy, with the release of the first album entitled “Forward”. This contains five tracks of ambience, drone, voice, shoegaze, synthpop, and harsh noise.

The Trump administration is demanding that venues who received COVID assistance in 2021 under the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant program repay the money within 30 days. These ghouls will destroy everything that isn't a cop, a gun, or a prison. news.pollstar.com/2025/07/01/s...

I had not heard of this! Reposting w alt text because it looks like screen readers can’t parse all of that correctly.

BREAKING: We won! In a lawsuit we brought more than three years ago now, the Wisconsin Supreme Court just ruled to protect reproductive freedom in our state and preserve Wisconsinites' access to abortion care. My statement below ⬇️

“Those present included representatives of Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Palantir, which works closely with the US military and has contracts with the NHS. IBM and the private prison operator Serco also attended alongside tagging and biometric companies,“

Many thanks to @theconversation.com for having me on their podcast to discuss my work on disability surveillance, AI-powered medical tech, and RFK’s so called autism registry theconversation.com/amid-alarm-o...

Parasite becomes aggressive. Sure all the musicians looking at our £0.0003 Spotify payouts for our work are delighted this is what our fans’ money went towards instead, and the fans equally pleased. Artists are always very in favour of war, traditionally.

May stream after I eat dinner. Maybe like 5:30/6pm central?

Trump claims he's shifting his deportation raids away from farm workers, an admission of how reliant US agriculture is on underpaid migrant laborers. And they're not just underpaid. This work can be deadly -- and those deaths all too often go uninvestigated:

Straight up cackled at how spot on this is.
