Also important to note that organizers from Chicago (and LA) are sharing their experiences, strategies and tactics with other cities. For example - Columbus, Oh is now working on purchasing thousands of whistles and distributing rapid response info in preparation for bigger actions in the city.

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

what #gustavopetro supporting regime change in the US?

i get more than one email a week from administrators who have never taught a history class but want to tell me how to do my job. but this week w the shutdown of canvas which we have all been encouraged if not forced to use: 🦗🦗

Greenblatt with kinder words for Republicans who are affiliated with actual Hitler Youth than what he says about Zohran Mamdani

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

A main organizer of VC Defensa in Ventura County was rammed in his vehicle by federal agents and taken into custody this morning. This video is from VC Defensa IG and shows the ramming. Organizers are thinking he’ll be taken to LA MDC—headed there now

wait so the orange menace ANNOUNCED covert action against venezuela? that’s how it works now?

so essentially Palestinians in Gaza & the West Bank can look forward to living under a similar regime as contemporary Chicago.

The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight

it's one of them scary because i'm starting a chapter and not sure what i mean to say wrtg days. please comment with good cheer and encouragement and receipts for having been there and prevailed.

the university of “no you can’t/why didn’t you/you have to or else” for students and academic workers is a place of vast opportunity and riches for the administrative class.

it’s a small thing in a crowded field of awful but it’s “democratic” cities (policies, politicians, etc) not “democrat”.

#LeticiaJames for president!!!

Greta Thunberg is not in the Epstein files, but Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and Donald Trump are.

as a spiritual new yorker (rent’s much cheaper!) i cannot wait to be represented by @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

if the 14th amendment goes down what about corporate personhood??

they're terrified of any kind of resistance so they make up lies and policies to scare and punish it:

terrible to fly in this capitalist hellhole and tonight i’m imagining all the deportation flights , the unnecessary agony

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

the current war on the left & trans folks comes out of the long history of indigenous & black death, endless red scares, and the grim architecture of islamophobia that enables the fascist ideas of #antifa and #trans menace. this the grail of oligarchs forever: a carte blanche for power & repression

calling the left terrorists completes a long, bipartisan campaign building on islamophobic policy starting in the 1990s

sure i do think about retiring from the hellhole of the public university. but i love teaching and plus being someone’s nightmare image of a woke professor is damn satisfying.

Where the separate divisions of ANTIFA landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944:

anybody seen an actual flag burning- by the “radical left” or anyone else?- lately? like the last decade or so?

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.

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class. This is Kirk's legacy. You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

Murder. He’s calling for the murder of people, a significant percentage of whom are veterans who served in our country’s military.

periodic reminder that “ding dong the witch is dead” is protected speech under the first amendment

la misma porquería making a lot of sense rn

A lot of awful things going on and this one is creeping up quietly- the use of mass immigration detention to expand prison labor and potentially restore the convict lease system of the post-Reconstruction south, only this time, everywhere:

alondra of milwaukee’s comité sin fronteras:” history doesn’t whisper, it repeats”

it’s a nightmare inversion of p-funk’s “chocolate city”

"Having an armed citizenry comes with a price, and that is part of liberty." Charlie Kirk

It's hard to see how Trump won't exploit the shooting of Charlie Kirk to further expand his police state...even while his FBI is busy cutting veteran agents that don't fit into his sycophantic and ideological mode.

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov's take on Kirk is the correct one: "Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it." On point. So glad Democrats are saying this.

so now that Palestinian kids can’t come to the US for medical care, thank you #lauraloomer, where can they go?

🚨NEW: Reversing *generations* of practice, the Board of Immigration Appeals gives ICE exactly what it demanded, ruling that any undocumented immigrant who entered illegally is categorically ineligible for release from detention on bond — expanding mandatory detention by millions of people.

Pritzker: It appears they are amassing ICE officers… It’s been reported that about 300 officers are planning to come in and do what they did in LA — terrorize neighborhoods and cause mayhem. Their plan is to create enough chaos on the ground that troops will have to be called in

when things go well in my classroom teaching is like dancing

when things are bad as they almost always are in the occupied public university, a few listenings to @danielkahn.bsky.social 's rendering of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" in Yiddish often does the trick.

the right is genuinely so afraid of zohran mamdani it’s quite astounding to witness them openly bribe in such a pathetic way

beta readers are raving about my book proposal, which, friends and fellow writers, is so not nothing. grateful.
