you have to call off the state police that is roughing up protesters if you are serious.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Rana. Rana was studying to work in a medical laboratory before the war and her husband owned a small gift shop. Their home and shop were destroyed. They have two children Hamoud, 3 and Tota, 7. Hamoud’s eyes were injured and needs treatment.

CS gas ("teargas") is toxic and can kill. I had the unfortunate luck to directly witness a heavy application of CS asphyxiate a small baby in Colorado Springs in 2003. The baby survived, but suffered permanent brain damage. The million dollar settlement didn't fix the damage.

Yesterday, white nationalist paramilitary forces attacked another Chicago neighborhood with chemical weapons. Families and at least one infant were gassed. This morning, they are kidnapping more immigrants both here and in other metros (D.C., L.A. still being terrorized).

israel has been holding over 1,700 people hostage the whole time it has been demanding the release of its hostages

Bennet and Hick give no fuck about trans rights.

Your reminder that credit scores in the US date to 1989. For much of their existence, race and gender were factors. They were invented bc it had been made illegal to discriminate by race and gender in the US, so financial institutions wanted a facially neutral way to accomplish the same thing.

I'm not here to police anyone's language. Just here to say I bristle a bit whenever I hear this term because I think of the thousands of women (including Carrie Buck of Buck v. Bell) who were institutionalized for being feebleminded "morons" because of sexual activity (in her case, being raped)

When Chris Smalls was rl being tortured by them a couple months ago it was crickets so try to be loud about everyone, not just Greta. Even in searching its hard to source all of WHO they have because it's just articles about Greta.

This is on you @govpritzker.illinois.gov!

This young person has gotten multiple warnings from state cops for defiantly moving into the street while most of the crowd has been pushed into “first amendment zones” on the sidewalk. Someone is playing “Springtime for Hitler” through a loudspeaker.

We’re at the start of a military occupation in Chicago, where masked me in fatigues armed to the teeth detain American citizens and don’t even book them.

I’m glad ICE released Steve Held, who they grabbed last night in Broadview. Now, the government must stop trying to deport journalist Mario Guevara, the Atlanta journalist who ICE targeted in retaliation for his immigration coverage.

FYI Chicagoans

Ahmed reached out to me on whatsapp, they have nothing after their house was destroyed and they're in desperate need of $450. There are updates on his chuffed, you can imagine how panicked he is right now so please share and donate if you can. chuffed.org/project/1426...

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Isra. Isra is a journalist in Gaza who has worked for 14 years with a lot of international experience (she is fluent in Spanish). She was also working on a PhD. She lost her father, home, work and university. She’s trying to help her family ❤️

Feds just arrested a reporter at the ICE facility outside Chicago

Border Patrol standing off with protesters, press and legal observers who are still here. Presuming many people are injured at this time, unsure how many detained in last attack. Hearing folks believe the earlier arrests were targeting some specific organizers, unclear on that at this time.

BREAKING: At least 91 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza since dawn, medical sources have told Al Jazeera. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/7770yd

Alaa's daughter Ella is very sick. Many of you know what it's like to watch a child or loved one's health deteriorate. Imagine trying to care for them in Gaza, amid so much violence and deprivation. If you can, please consider donating to help this family survive.

If they think Tylenol is bad for children wait till they find out about guns.

“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.” Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!

One very wealthy white man got his job back today (along with his 200 staff and production team) because of organizing, boycotts, and collective pushback. When will we see that same energy for the 320k+ Black women who were pushed out of the labor market?

Kirk’s ‘memorial’ getting a live coverage on The Guardian is a great example of how the right gets automatically framed as the default political movement to be ‘understood’ while the victims of that same movement never will never get the same amount of coverage

Several times this year more than 100,000 people have been out in the streets in particular cities to protest this regime and the NYT & MSM barely covered those protests. I wonder why [I don't actually so no need to respond].

I’m at a community meeting about resisting ICE in Chicago. There are about 400 people in this high school auditorium. Chicago is showing up.

Attention: Nema only needs $100 more dollars to reach her goal of buying a Nebulizer for Mohammad, please share this post and give if you can.

A man caged by ICE was found dead in his cell inside a Long Island jail 18 hours after arriving there.

At the Broadview ICE "processing facility" outside Chicago. Earlier today, federal agents unleashed chemical weapons on protesters, elected officials, a local congressional candidate, and a local mayor. Defiant anti deportation activists remain. Another protest is planned for 7pm.

Feds just fired a tremendous amount of pepper balls at Reverend David Black, a regular protester here. A number of them hit him in the face and head.

They’ve fired a whole lot of pepper balls at us. Multiple people hit, including one struck in the head. They’re charging the crowd and seizing people outside Broadview. The air is barely tolerable from all the fumes.

95 democrats, including @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social voted to "honor" the life of charlie kirk, who called for joe biden to be killed and said black women like justice ketanji brown jackson are unqualified affirmative action hires. shame. clerk.house.gov/evs/2025/rol...

ugh @loyaltybooks.bsky.social is amazing, one of my fav shops -- take a look at their site and pick up a few books if you've got some spare cash loyaltybookstores.com

This camp is being violently evicted right now in the wake of a devastating shooting. People are mourning community members and simultaneously having their homes bulldozed. If you have t shirts, drinks, aspirin, new underwear, or cigarettes please bring to 1100 E Lake between 3-7 for distro!

A team of independent experts commissioned by the United Nations' Human Rights Council has concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school. Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families? My own colleagues are silent.

Willian Gimenez was abducted by ICE yesterday in Chicago. He had been part of a lawsuit against off-duty police and Home Depot employees for abusing day laborers. Latino Union says he was targeted for advocating for his rights as a worker. @bloomekatz.bsky.social and I report.

This man was picked up by ICE in Chicago's Archer Heights neighborhood on Sunday. By Tuesday he had already been deported to Mexico.

ICE killed a father of three in Franklin Park a few days ago. They are snatching people at gas stations, at bus stops, and from their homes and cars, leaving screaming, panicked children in their wake. It is a nightmare, and when ICE has amassed 10,000 new agents, it could be the new normal.

Reporters on the ground in Chicago are screaming to be heard over the false narrative that Pritzker defeated Trump there. PLEASE listen to them.

ICE murdered someone in Chicago yesterday. It seems the news cycle has moved on from the federal takeover stuff, but it’s very much still happening & escalating.

"We too are educators, students, scholars, readers, and writers." "Education in genocide is not just curriculum — it is care, love, memory, and defiance." "[T]he weapon of the defenseless." "By education we resist, and by education we will be liberated." #Gaza #Palestine #Israel #Genocide

Video shows Palestinian Bedouin homes in the town of Jaba engulfed in flames after Israeli settlers set fire to them in occupied East Jerusalem.
