Incredible. Then I suppose I will be storing away my welcome mat.

The Heritage Foundation is seeking to enact its Project 2025 goal of repealing Section 230. This would give the government complete control over online speech. It would “help stop censoring conservatives” in that the Trump admin would have full ultimate control over all information we consume online

I’ve said this before but you gotta stop describing mid/boring/bad media as “looks like AI.” Unless it was actually used in the development of the thing, we absolutely do not need to be blurring this line between bad decision making, and functionally no decision making.

RFK Jr. appointee Kirk Milhoan has just clearly stated, out loud, that he wants to experiment on the people of the United States by seeing what happens as vaccination coverage plummets and infectious diseases spread.

Huge thanks to @bscactionfund.org and volunteers who braved the arctic cold! Lots of heavy emotions the last few days but I’m channeling my anger into doing everything I can to help. I refuse to accept this as our reality and will bring this same work ethic to make Chicago welcoming for all.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

We stand in solidarity with the Brazilian coffee workers who are occupying São Paulo's largest Starbucks location to demand an end to alleged forced labor conditions on farms supplying the company.

And, last but not least, a reminder about our first endorsement of the cycle, Drake Warren! Abundant Housing Illinois is excited to endorse Drake Warren for Cook County Commissioner in the 10th District! 🏘️
