"Community" is a word that's often used to obscure divides. If you don't actually know vulnerable people in your community, your mental version of what your neighborhood is experiencing is likely centered on very different things than theirs. If you want to help, don't invent tactics from scratch.

If the regions of focus for ICE and CBP are going to shift, you're going to have to be prepared for what that means. Deep structures of trust to meet people's basic needs. An understanding that you cannot and will not know the full scope of action on a given day. Bracing for loss after loss.

Rogers Park and surrounding neighborhoods were hit hard by immigration enforcement activity over the weekend. There's no competition here, but I want to name that the same heavy, violent, fast-moving abduction pattern has invaded the southwest side about three times a week for over a month now.

And just like that.. the frog became a symbol of resistance 🐸

Lots of folks think "the left" is some kind of monolith. 🧵 ... its not. "The left" today is nothing more than a label the right uses to describe anyone to the *left of them*. But the reality is far more complex. 1/4

"... diversity brings balance."

I found this in the Gift Link section of Bluesky. It worked for me www.nytimes.com/2025/09/25/u...

If your thinking about resisting but not because "thats scary", youre damn right its scary. Its downright terrifying. Resisting fascism gets people killed.. you know what else gets people killed? Fascism.

Light the fuse, then cry about the explosion. Classic MAGA.

Contrary to what @cnn.com is trying to tell its viewers.. there is no rise in "hard left violence".. this is dangerously misleading. This is a scapegoat narrative being used by this administration. Numbers show overwhelmingly that the violence is coming from the right.

Yeah, so.. anyways.. About the epstein files..

The fucker wasnt a Leftist.. this is another case of fascists killing each other.

In order to effectively abolish capitalism, we must first bring back the village.

Mamdani discusses how he plans to address income inequality and affordability issues in the largest US city.

It is not enough for the Oregon Democrats to simply say "we wont cooperate", they need to stand up and commit to active resistance. If we're supposed to be a sanctuary state, we need to actually protect people.

My crew has stuck it out and continued to do the hard things.. even after our own comrades tried to burn us down. We're still here, you fucking ass holes. 💪🖕

"There's so many questions implicit in there.." My guy, its a yes or no answer.. this isnt a final exam in a philosophy class, what the fuck? youtube.com/shorts/LXpc1...

This is a must-read article.

Newsom: I mean, even poor Kid Rock — these guys, they’ve gotten a little precious, haven’t they? The folks at Fox are like, “Oh, this is so unbecoming of a governor. Oh, oh.” And meanwhile, they sit there reading his tweets every single day. Are they really that out of touch?

We would not have fallen so far so fast if our past leaders hadn't already spent decades priming the United States for authoritarianism.

Social media is an addiction.. kinda like alcoholism. Like any addiction the best thing to curb it is a strong loving community that supports your sobriety. The stronger my relationships get the less I turn to social media, and the less I feel the urge to drink.

WU-TANG FOREVER 👐🏽

Yknow what.. reddit can kiss my ass too.

If you thought anything changed after George Floyd, it didnt.. www.reddit.com/r/Political_...

Newly published video shows U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement stopping Mahdi Khanbabazadeh, 38, while he was driving his child to preschool on July 15. A clip taken from the dashboard camera shows ICE officers smashing the driver’s side window after his child had left.

Last month, the IRS' acting general counsel Andrew De Mello refused to turn over the addresses of 7.3 million taxpayers sought by ICE, saying he'd identified multiple legal “deficiencies” in ICE's request. Two days later, De Mello was forced out of his job.

When the Knights of Columbus are protesting a right wing political action in Florida, shit has hit the fan and the fallout is going to be gnarly.

JACKSONVILLE — TW ⚠️: Unarmed Black driver has his window smashed + face punched by a sheriff’s deputy after being pulled over for not having his headlights on… during the day. 🤔 Sheriff TK Waters says they’ve launched an “internal investigation”: www.firstcoastnews.com/article/news...

BREAKING: District judge presses forward with mass-firings challenge following SCOTUS's order. Judge Susan Illston provided a great example on Friday of how to deal with the current Supreme Court in an order that the Trump admin turn over its mass-firing plans. New, at Law Dork:

Attorney in #SanFrancisco explains how community mobilizations against ICE block deportations. "When you ask what can you do, this is exactly what you can do. Organize...show up and scare ICE away. Actions like these literally save lives. Because of their action today, ICE didn't show up."

No, reddit, I did not "threaten" anyone.. didnt even technically violate rule one. But I can see you're consistently covering for MAGAts..

🚨 Techno-fascist billionaire Peter Thiel is building the surveillance state of Trump’s dreams. His company Palantir is now working with Trump’s regime to track ALL Americans using AI. This isn’t sci-fi. It’s happening. And Thiel HATES when you talk about it. So talk about it. #50501Movement

Evergreen

NYC. Denver. Palo Alto. TOMORROW, you can protest against the tech billionaire who hides behind the scenes—Peter Thiel—and his surveillance company that empowers ICE’s cruelty: Palantir. This is just the beginning to another Tesla Takedown-like movement. Follow @purgepalantir.bsky.social for more.

I love putting out something that got published a couple days ago and seeing people say "ive read this before".. mthrfkr, no you havent.. dont lie.

Time for a new strategy. Blast this far and wide. substack.com/home/post/p-...

He doesnt like it when we talk about epstein.. keep talking about epstein.

this is the best single-image encapsulation of how modern conservatism works

I almost can't believe that Elon Musk's AI called for the extermination of the Jewish people yesterday, and today not a single Congressional Democrat announced they were leaving his media network. A party that often claims to act against antisemitism didn't do jack shit about straight up Nazism.
