Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson calls for a general strike against the "tyranny" of Trump and the greed of the ultra-rich. “Time for them to pay their fair share.” #nokings

The thing everyone can do right now is to find your lane if you don't already have one and work that lane diligently and with commitment.

I hope our @dfl.org leadership takes seriously the experiences of trans, nonbinary, and two-spirit voters in this state. We have worked hard to build a trans-inclusive Minnesota. Our community growing deep roots here. To see our community dismissed and disregarded in this way is unacceptable.

Okay now this is impressive! Sound on!

Someone asked me what victory against the forces seeking to occupy Chicago looks like. Obviously, those forces being repelled is the goal, but there are layers to what success looks like in these deteriorating conditions. The first is to successfully resist the normalization of military occupation.

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

They're openly calling to lock up every trans person by force. We need every ally to speak out forcefully against this because trans folks cannot do this on our own.

the message from the white house is that you live in a city run by people the president doesn't like, you will be occupied like you are an enemy of the state.

“How to Report ICE” zines now available for these areas: NYC Philly Durham, NC All of Massachusetts I will add more as I get them done. Download them to print here: drive.google.com/drive/folder...

Donald Trump is creating a climate of fear, causing people to forego necessary and authorized medical care. That is unacceptable. This ruling is another reminder that no one is above the law, including the President.

hey, cis folks! this is monstrous & it’s only going to get more common & if you remember 2020 when white moms stood between cops & black protestors that’s probably what it’ll take in some cases for trans people to survive using a public bathroom in the same shape they went in. i hope you will.

people: police need to be held accountable police: that’s why we have body cams people: ok show us the body cam footage police: no

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

Head of NASA Sean Duffy intends to destroy a satellite that collects key data on carbon dioxide and plant health, by causing it to burn up in the atmosphere. The U.S. Dept of Agriculture and private agriculture firms use the data to forecast crop yield, drought conditions and more.

They waited *more than an hour* to enter the Hortman home after watching Mark Hortman get shot in the doorway Unbelievably tragic & heartbreaking And, of course, they publicly congratulated themselves on a great, lifesaving police response when they’d let a lawmaker bleed out. Uvalde is everywhere

A provocative dating app designed to let women anonymously ask or warn each other about men they'd encountered rocketed to the top spot on the U.S.

“As the Israeli government’s siege starves the people of Gaza, aid workers are now joining the same food lines, risking being shot just to feed their families. [H]umanitarian organisations are witnessing their own colleagues and partners waste away before their eyes.”

July: 6yo dreams that transform into books, Cecropia moths waiting, a candlelit tea party, dark matter lecture & Walter Library, taro ice cream that “tastes like purple”, good trouble, puppet shows, concertinas, taiko drums, closeness before bed to unfurl their thoughts, storms from the stoop & afar

Cherishing this interview of Joanna Macy and Krista Tippett that aired in 2010. And also this rich conversation between Joanna Macy and her student and friend, Jessica Serrante: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

“Active Hope is not wishful thinking. Active Hope is not waiting to be rescued by the Lone Ranger or by some savior. Active Hope is waking up to the beauty of life on whose behalf we can act." — Joanna Macy (May 2, 1929 – July 19, 2025)

I wrote a memorial essay in praise of the great Joanna Macy over there at my newsletter.....

Please keep in mind this is what they were allowed to see and not what goes on when no one is looking. And even this is bad.

Something Kelly Hayes wrote that has been spinning in my mind: "I don't want to live in this world, such as it is, so I live in the pursuit of making it otherwise. There is no perfect solution. There's no blueprint. There's struggle, and everything that we manage to make worthwhile along the way."

200 Veterans are showing up to immigration hearings to physically stand with Afghan refugees & shield them from harassment & unlawful ICE arrest. This is upholding your oath to the Constitution❤️ This & 4 more inspiring stories of American courage against fascism: www.qasimrashid.com/p/5-stories-...

This is your sign to kill your lawn and plant native wildflower seeds!

What’s the next likely stage with a network of concentration camps? Forced slave labor. As historian Timothy Snyder urges, CEOs should pledge to not hire these laborers and each of us should pledge not to buy from or invest in companies that do. www.americaamerica.news/p/will-we-to...

The ICE camps are concentration camps. They should be called concentration camps. It is, of course, important to distinguish between concentration camps and death camps, but also, I am not sure we will know when or if we undergo the transition from concentration camps into death camps.

Rather than simply talking about horrible responses to the flooding in Texas, let's share some vetted and trusted avenues for support, and donate if we can. Hands Off Central TX is raising funds and resources for mutual aid including housing, food, transportation (gas), and medical needs.

I can't stop thinking about the fact that the US sent hundreds of Venezuelan men to a gulag in El Salvador... and it seems no one is fighting to get them out. They've been there for months... do you know how long a month is when you're being tortured?

Cities across the country should take a look at how we take care of our own. ✊🏼

They vowed to “Make America Healthy Again.” Instead, they: Kicked millions of people off health insurance Closed hundreds of hospitals, nursing homes, and reproductive health clinics Cut billions of dollars from science research Fired government scientists and replaced them with antivaxxers

I refuse to call an American concentration camp the same thing it calls itself at its attached gift shop Maybe American journalism should search in the garbage for its self-respect and start taking the same position?

This is also an important perspective on what's happening to immigrants. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

Donna Kashanian lived in the United States for 47 years, married a U.S. citizen and raised their daughter. She was gardening in the yard of her New Orleans home when ICE officers handcuffed and took her away apnews.com/article/iran...

There’s something deeply wrong with a society that watches people get snatched by masked men in unmarked cars & looks the other way. Rep @kamlager-dove.house.gov, describes an alarming system of relocating detainees, making it nearly impossible for their families to find them or get legal counsel.

This article: -Shows visually what is in H.R. 1 & why it is so terrible for us all -List names AND numbers of the 9 Senators we all need to call to vote NO (only 4 need to agree with us) -A script to use when calling No Paywall. Please share widely. www.qasimrashid.com/p/what-is-in...

The wildest part about us getting banned on instagram and threads and all meta platforms without warning or explanation is not even being able to get in touch with a human being about it. Dystopian, Orwellian shit.

Please help out the family of the child who was tragically killed at Folwell Park in north Minneapolis this week. His family is grieving and can use community support in this time of need. www.gofundme.com/f/in-memory-...

A win! Thank you to everyone who spoke out! After facing bipartisan resistance, the Senate Parliamentarian, ruled that Sen. Mike Lee’s proposal to sell off millions of acres of federal land cannot be included under reconciliation rules.

This book is riveting and so, so infuriating. It follows 5 families in Atlanta who are struggling to remain housed and paints deeply compassionate portraits of each unit. It reads almost like a novel but is outstanding journalism

I am looking for congressional leaders to come out quickly and forcefully against this. We need unequivocal opposition. We need theatric demonstrations of defiance. We need to see leadership. Trump will steamroll us all if we display weakness. Where are our leaders?
