the people screaming online daily about boycotting x, y, and z had better be in formation...

ICE has been raiding my neighborhood and surrounding ones for the last couple of weeks now. They commandeered my local church (against the pastor's will) for a staging site and raided supermarkets, parks, Goodwills, bus stops, you name it. The national media's been silent. So has @mayor.lacity.gov.

My request is small: please bring warmth to my children's hearts. Don't abandon them; they are suffering from hunger and cold. If you leave us, we will die. We are out in the open, our feet are frozen. We need $300 to buy food and clothes. Verified @mommunism.bsky.social chuffed.org/project/1574...

for printout purposes

We don’t need to reform ICE. We don’t need alternatives to ICE. We don’t need to engage in dishonest debates wondering what the U.S. would do without ICE. ICE isn’t even 23 years old. Most adults know a world without ICE. And the billions used to fund ICE can be used to meet people’s basic needs.

OOPS, edit: the podcast ep *they* reference!

"Chicago's Tiny Kitchen Project provides meals for kids amid SNAP benefit gaps"

If you know someone who is feeling 1) unmoored because they don't know how to be most helpful to their community in this moment and/or 2) overloaded because they say yes to wayyyy too many asks ...great news, this workshop is for them!

When the federal immigration raids ramped up in L.A. and protesters took to the streets in June, Chan decided to make a statement the only way he knew how: By printing thousands of protest signs and distributing them for free. The full story: lataco.com/prints-again... By Marina Watanabe

in the last 5 days these laid-off VIBE staffers have only made it to 31% of their GoFundMe goal after being laid off. please show them the same support you showed Teen Vogue!!

12/4 - Resilience For Sustainable Activism - www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

615 of the estimated 3,000+ detained immigrants who were kidnapped in Chicagoland during Midway Blitz are expected to be eligible for bond this week. The Midwest Immigration Bond Fund shows up for people in detention who need bond, but it costs, at minimum, $1,500 per person. Pls help them.

Every single person in Little Village fighting ICE/BP this week, each one of those people had more courage than the entire party leadership put together. Every single person in the street resisting in LA, Portland, Chicago, they're ALL showing more backbone than useless top tiers of Dem apparatus

Hello dear friends… Winter is very hard on us. Our tent is thin and cold seeps in from all sides. Children shiver at night. I started a fundraiser to raise $3000 for a stronger tent, warm clothes, blankets, and mattresses. Even the smallest help matters. Thank you 🙏💖 www.gofundme.com/f/help-mitqa...

I'm glad people are waking up now, but it should not have taken this. Y'all should have woken up to how the dems handled COVID. To how they handled prosecuting Trump. To how they handled a genocide.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Sending love to everyone whose health care has been jeopardized by the Democratic cave-in. These Democratic elites will not be part of the solution. We must proceed with that understanding.

There is no world in which the deaths by suicide of young people, or the documented mental unraveling of vulnerable people can be an "acceptable" cost for ANY technology, no matter how revolutionary these technologies are claimed to be.

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison. So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

No reason at all to do this besides hate

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.

Taylor Frazier McCollum points out that there are other beneficial sources of potential revenue for PG County! One example is “Heritage tourism” which is huge in DMV but underrepresented along the Anacostia in PG. Go after the “clean money” and ditch the data center.

For people who are interested in and working to develop abolitionist interventions and groups to help keep each other safe, we have a new resource that aims to help demystify a few things about how we create these organizations and formations, and how we sustain them. Read it here:

For folks in #PGCounty MD who want to read notes + next steps following tonight’s forum about the proposed #datacenters at the old Landover Mall site, check this site in the coming days: sites.google.com/site/cheverl...

Maurice Mitchell talks about how organizing isn’t a sprint OR a marathon — it’s a relay race. My dad’s been working so hard w/ other PG County folks to fight the data center. I’m proud of him for making this panel happen…& my mom is hoping he’ll pass the baton for a little while after tonight. ;)

Panelist Daniel Broder, who’s an expert on both AI and quantum computing, says PG County is already investing in the latter and should be investing in it more! The data centers would divert $ from QC which, he says, will change the world for the better.

Hearing from Taylor Frazier-McCollum now via a panel being streamed from Cheverly tonight. She created this petition which folks in PG County can still sign if you oppose the proposed data centers on the old Landover Mall site! #pgcounty #maryland www.change.org/p/stop-data-...

Thank you @jennyabamu.bsky.social for moderating tonight’s forum about data centers in PG County, and thanks to the panelists for sharing expertise. Really grateful to the organizers for the opportunity to join remotely!

Horrifying footage of a child care provider being detained by ICE in Chicago outside her center. No one should be violently ripped from their place of work. Child care providers are deeply important to the well-being of kids and our communities. Please give if you are able: gofund.me/9efc0639d

More New Yorkers voted on the WFP party line on the ballot than the Republican one. We can no longer call the WFP a "third party" in NYC. - @mauricewfp.bsky.social on the @workingfamilies.org post-election call

here is my story about how Zohran's focus on community amid the loneliness epidemic helped young people connect their politics to an organizing infrastructure, that interviewed ZM, and does not use the NYT's framing of "they don't know how to make friends" :-) and also ran 4 days before NYT's lol

i’d also say that the GOP’s obsession with this gives candidates an opportunity to articulate and stand up for their values. “i refuse to make anyone feel like they don’t belong in my [state/city/community]. and i want everyone to live the best life they can achieve [insert policy slogan]”

Honestly, this was my favorite news of the night.

LOCAL ELECTION RESULT: Let me congratulate @zysaidso.bsky.social for her election to the Charlottesville School Board. For those wondering: Zyahna Bryant was a student organizer who led the successful fight in removing two confederate statues from downtown Charlottesville.

thank you for the outpouring of support! those of us laid off from Teen Vogue yesterday are now sharing our GoFundMe to help us cover our emergency expenses now that we've lost our incomes, as we get back on our feet.

I think we are going to win. But anything's possible. So I just wanna say, with seven minutes before the polls close in NYC... ...win or lose, we are AHEAD and ready to KEEP FIGHTING because of this MASSIVE mobilization of neighbors who care about neighbors in NYC. ❤️💪🗽

It's publication day for Read This When Things Fall Apart! So grateful to our contributors and to @akpress.org for making this book a reality. This is a strange time to be promoting a book, but I believe it's a text that has the potential to help us right now. Please get yourself a copy. ❤️

Blah blah blah men…Young women are ready to set the country on fire

No one in Gaza wants to be asking for help- but they can’t find other ways to make money

If you and your children are not ready for a particular book, that is okay. It is not okay to limit the access to books, stories, and experiences for other families. Every book is not for everyone, but every book is for someone. bookriot.com/the-day-the-books-disappeared-school-visit-cancelation/

This is what courage in the face of fascism looks like. Students in Chicago and DC have walked out of their schools to protest the MAGA regime's blatant white supremacist power grabs in their communities. blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/28/d...

If anyone can help out - I'm trying to get some soup cans delivered (free delivery, just no soup money) because I'm sick and can't really hold much down right now lol Was able to put gas in yesterday, got a stockpile of meds, didn't consider soup on 3 hrs of sleep $danirockasota V: djamiempls

"In less than 36 hours since we announced that we will be sending payments to disabled SNAP recipients in the South—$100 to individuals and $250 to households—we have received more than 12,400 applications, totaling $2.7 million in requests." - they have to close the form tomorrow... no way to cover

Omg the typo! So tired of and by it all! Lol

Thought 1: THFPL (thank goodness for public libraries) Thought 2: I hate this timeline so much
