"Black people are tired. Not metaphorically tired—actually tired. The kind of tired that turns every group chat into a mix of gallows humor and emotional triage." I write about white ignorance and how exhausting it is to hear white ppl insist "this isn't who we are, when it's ALWAYS who we've been.

A thread of writing by Kaleb Horton. He died today. His writing grounds me. He wrote clearly and he wrote on what he knew. I feel gross, reading it all after he died when he was looking for steady work the past few years. I just didn’t know. Making up for lost time.

ICE executed a man in the middle of a busy street during morning rush hour last Friday—then they put out an easily disproven account—and it’s hardly registered as a blip.

Protesters were tear gassed, shot with pepper spray bullets and some detained by ICE officers outside of a facility in suburban Broadview Friday morning. blockclubchi.co/3VslkAr

Broadview, IL - More chemical munitions being deployed on the crowd on protesters outside of the Broadview Detentjon Facility. Pretty significant chemical munitions; and saw at least one fan deployed across the street which hit an ABC News van. Lots of coughing.

lots of electeds and political candidates here this morning. i see congressional candidates kat abughazaleh and (evanston mayor) daniel biss, lieutenant governor juliana stratton, and chicago alder andre vasquez:

This is what it looks like when ICE violates our First Amendment rights.

I wrote an obituary for Charlie Kirk. He had recently begun testing new strategies to keep Gen Z in the MAGA coalition as their living conditions continue to deteriorate in this country. I was closely following where that was going, now we'll never know numbertwopencil.substack.com/p/charlie-ki...

Justice Sotomayor is crystal clear in dissent as to what's happening: "We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent."

🚨The Supreme Court today gives Trump a license to engage in racial profiling, with Justice Kavanaugh writing in concurrence to expressly endorse ICE and Border Patrol targeting any Latinos they observe in Los Angeles speaking Spanish and then demanding their papers.

on the one hand I should absolutely put my phone down but on the other hand what if the forces attacking democracy operate on weeping angels logic

www.houstonchronicle.com/opinion/edit... my bestie growing up came to HTX fleeing the croatian war of independence. i recall seeing pics of her neck of the woods *before* the war and i was like, damn why'd y'all wanna come HERE? this ugly ass city... but we are beautiful, in our own swampy assy way

It's wild to see "Never let them take you to a second location" play out publicly against elected Black representatives while people go about their lives, but this is EXACTLY why Rep. Nicole Collier refused to normalize her own captivity.

Annnd it needs to be said out loud that the fact that she’s the only one means that besides the Latina legislator who has refused to come back to TX, all their colleagues signed little fascist forms agreeing to be escorted by police who are basically their Texas house arrest prison guards

Collier: I refused to sign and so I was told that I was gonna have to stay here on the floor. They have locked the doors. The sergeants have been instructed not to allow me to leave until I have a permission slip.

Texas Republicans have locked Democratic Rep. Nicole Collier inside the state house chamber and refuse to allow her to leave. They are requiring Democrats to sign “permission slips” and have a police escort in order to leave the chamber, and she refuses to sign it.

Now is the time to be curious about our universe, to be imaginative about all its possibilities, including the potential for humans to live in good and sustainable relations with each other and the ecosystems that we depend upon. This is a time of stubborn freedom dreaming.

Nature connectedness has dropped 60% since 1800. Hard to feel connected when: 1️⃣ Nature is gone. 2️⃣ Wildlife is gone. 3️⃣ The planet is packed with people. Without reversing all three, “policy change” is just a nice thought experiment. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
