They've already murdered someone in my city, shot another woman, zip tied children, tear gassed an elementary school, and broke six ribs of a bystander. The president of the United States of America says: that's not enough.

If you can't move from one neighborhood to another without being profiled, you don't have freedom of mvment. If you can't drive a car without being profiled you don't have freedom of movemt. If you can't walk down the street w/out being stopped and frisked YOU DONT HAVE FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT. Period.

the problem is it’s too easy to visualize being that cop, standing there, receiving a sandwich, and you realize you’d never go psycho enough to chase the guy a whole block and then waste hours of your life testifying in court about it. it’s insane. you’d just check to see if the sandwich is okay.

“Meta projected 10% of its 2024 revenue would come from ads for scams and banned goods, documents seen by Reuters show. And the social media giant internally estimates that its platforms show users 15 billion scam ads a day.”

Now we know where all that Spotify money is going. Not to the artists - perish the thought. No, the CEO has invested it all in AI weaponry designed to kill humans. I wish this were a joke. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

That’s not how any of this works. Billionaires don’t work 1,000,000x harder than working class people.

Heartbreaking: Under Trump's ICE terror, a 2-year-old Chicago girl was tear-gassed while walking with her mom-burning eyes, screams of 'Ouch! Mommy!' This isn't enforcement; it's state-sponsored child abuse.

Today's hearing, which @jonseidel.bsky.social has been livetweeting, is in a lawsuit about conditions inside Broadview. One man held for 3 days broke into tears as he testified to the awful conditions. Multiple sworn declarations says ICE uses the threat of longer stays to get deportation orders. 🧵

Cancel every streaming subscription, stream illegally, get a library card, spend that money on more burritos.

Every time one of these mass murderers dies without having faced any consequence for the massacres they ordered, the lives they destroyed, the societies they razed to the ground… I realize how far we are from a world with justice. Rest in hell Dick Cheney. Your legacy is death.

The fact a *single* Amazon full-time employee requires SNAP benefits should be a crime. The fact Amazon is the largest employer of SNAP recipients is a disgrace. Jeff Bezos shouldnt be that rich; he should be in jail.

Albert, our black-and-white ruffed lemur, is going bananas for #WorldLemurDay! These endangered lemurs inhabit the rainforests of Madagascar and primarily feed on fruit, as well as nectar, flowers, and leaves. Their fruit-heavy diet makes them important seed spreaders, helping the forest grow!

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

"During the concert, which one of this article’s reporters attended, ushers encouraged audience members to move to more expensive seats, as much of the orchestra section was empty. The top tiers, originally available for purchase, were closed because of low ticket sales." 🎁 link wapo.st/4hxOdFo

@nbcuniversal.com do you need a permeant to vandalize the public space? I'd love to know the how much you paid to the city of Chicago. Since this area is paid for by taxpayers, i'd hope the price is more than if you rented a billboard #NFL #football

if knowingly starving millions of americans while he builds a gilded ballroom isn't cause for revolution then i'm not sure what is

Stop reading the news and normalize lounging inside “Visiona 2” by Verner Panton at the Cologne Furniture Fair in 1970.

a trans girl in vermont was kicked off her swimming team and committed suicide and at the very same time, the discourse in d.c. today is about whether the democratic party should’ve abandoned her sooner in order to win votes a day in an american life

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

I wonder if any of their propaganda videos include how tough they are trying to go into a laundromat to arrest people.

"Agents in two cars wound through the neighborhood for at least 45 minutes, pulling over drivers and stopping people seemingly at random." It is not an understatement when various elected officials tell their constituents to shelter in place if they are vulnerable.

My latest. "Do not allow your values to be captured and contained behind a screen in a cycle of inactive reaction. Jailbreak your cynicism and isolation, and escape your devices. Bring your hope, rage, and potential into the world."

I can't get over the weight of alderpersons in Chicago having to advise residents to shelter in place due to ICE just snatching people off the street.

The only truly ethical response that a self-described artist can make. Anything else is a betrayal of one's colleagues.

South Shore residents made thousands of distress calls to the city before a federal raid there made national news. The building averaged more than one emergency call a day over almost five years. blockclubchi.co/4oV24IH
