@katmabu.bsky.social has put herself on the line to protect our communities from ICE and now she’s being prosecuted for daring to dissent. We’re proud to stand with Kat and the rest of the “Broadview Six” against these trumped-up charges. And we’re proud to support Kat for Congress.

Pritzker: "I sent a letter to Kristi Noem and to DHS leadership asking them to pause all of their federal agent operations for the entirety of the Halloween weekend. I'm asking for basic human decency. I think their response will be revealing. Give the children and families of Illinois a break."

Hot take, but fantasy pin makers really don't need to make chase pins. Especially when it's a maker who already sees triple digits on the aftermarket.

In 2018, the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” policy tore thousands of children from their parents. Years later, many remain separated. Our report highlights new government records and the struggle to end a troubling immigration policy, shedding light on a dark chapter in U.S. history.

DHS’s patented response to anything that proves they didn’t tell the truth is just to go on the attack, without offering any factual rebuttal.

Creating ofrendas for Día de los Muertos can be therapeutic. And in a year filled with grief, a radical act of resistance.

It's all hands on deck. I am shamelessly asking, one more time, for reposts and signal boost as this bird glides toward a landing in a few hours. It's gonna be a beautiful book, and there aren't going to be very many available afterwards! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tom...

Well now, would you look at that? A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

#fantasypins #labyrinth He did say he would be her slave....

NEW: The Trump admin just ended the practice of automatically extending work permits when people file to renew them — meaning that if USCIS takes too long to process a renewal the applicant loses their authorization to work legally. The interim final rule applies to renewals filed after tomorrow.

A federal judge has denied OpenAI's request to dismiss a copyright suit from George R. R. Martin, Ta-Nehisi Coates, John Grisham and other authors. The judge says that text generated by ChatGPT may infringe their copyrights.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Being lactose intolerant sucks. Because sometimes you just want Mac and cheese, and you take lactose pills, but they're apparently not strong enough. And then you feel like you're going to puke for an hour.

Immigration is on the ballot in New Jersey and Virginia. 🗳️ Ahead of next week’s elections, @yunao08.bsky.social and @tusk81.bsky.social break down where the gubernatorial candidates stand on key immigration issues.

Awful news: employers are about to have to reluctantly fire 10s of thousands of workers going into the holidays for no good reason. Trump 2.0's record for intentionally doing as much harm as possible to our economy as quickly as possible remains undefeated www.federalregister.gov/public-inspe...

I did of course know about Tom Tomorrow’s very successful Kickstarter, and happily await the forthcoming book, but was struck today by the idea of it as video.

Nanci Koschman never recovered after her son David died in 2004 from a punch by a stranger. A Sun-Times investigation later revealed his killer was Mayor Daley's nephew. She died Monday at 77.

The U.S. government has been shut down for 28 days now. Over 900,000 federal workers have been furloughed. Air traffic controllers are going without paychecks. SNAP benefits to feed people run out on Sunday. The House GOP refuses to meet in session. None of this is normal nor acceptable.

It’s important to remember that community care doesn’t have to come in the form of $100s in donations or dropping off pallets of food. Sometimes it’s picking up an extra rotisserie chicken for a neighbor, or doing a grocery pick up for an elder, or helping someone with laundry or childcare.

I feel this so hard as a cuspy X/Millennial who is the unpaid tech support at my office. I've even made directions with screen shots, videos going step by step, and you would think I'm telling them how to do the math for sending a spaceship to the moon. And they've been here longer than me!

OK folks, here's the deal. Spotify is running ICE recruitment ads and has ignored asks to stop. It's time to tell them we won't stream fascism - by cancelling our subscriptions. Here's how to get started: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify

Karoline Leavitt officially announced the "Launch of a large-scale investigation to find the people behind 'No Kings.'" I've saved her some time.

WILD story. A DHS officer shot at a man he thought was fleeing (a judge dismissed all charges). Bullets went into the driver's side window, through his jacket collar, and into the empty passenger seat. An MPD cop on the scene says he was ordered not to put it in the police report.

Lmao what (from today's Breaker newsletter)

Senator David Reed, coauthor of the 1924 national origins quotas immigration act, on where the Border Patrol should be allowed to police: "they have no right to go into an interior city and pick up aliens in the street and arrest them"

We live in an episode of Veep

Among 2024 voters, his approval is net negative in every state that voted for Kamala Harris, plus seven swing states (AZ, GA, MI, NC, NV, PA, WI) and Texas

Please Note: As of now, the majority of SF Bay Area restaurants that plan to offer free or reduced-priced meals to families who will lose #SNAP benefits are owned by ethnic minorities. There are TONS of eateries across the SFBA: are white owners pitching in, too?🧐 www.sfchronicle.com/food/restaur...

Okay I’m reading it now and, no surprise, it suuuucks in exactly the ways you would expect.

Mutual aid groups, food banks, etc are about to be under even more pressure in the US. Post your local one's donation link here, and if you're seeing this, and you can spare a few bucks, pick one two to give to.

Gonna talk in entomology class today about how Jewish scientists forced to work in Nazi concentration camps secretly sent fake vaccines to the eastern front and managed to kill 4,000 Nazis with typhus.

"I hope your beeper doesn't go off." A year ago today, a racist tried to make a 'joke' about me being killed by Israel. It was the 1st time I've ever walked off of live TV. That night CNN said they'd ban the racist from their air. But in the year since, I myself haven't been invited back on CNN.

Owala is apparently the new Stanley, which is annoying since I bought mine years ago before this nonsense. But I suppose I get to feel a little joy because I did manage to grab the Sugar Skull drop, as minor a thing as that is.

For those who are here, it’s felt clear that the administration is using Chicago as testing ground for how immigration removal tactics could be applied across the nation. And now, this is even clearer. If you’ve not followed closely, it’s time to catch up. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/think-ice-...

Allow me to invite you to recall how often you heard about Joe Biden's unpopularity & the <deeply unpopular> Kamala Harris in 2024, & to compare it to how little you're hearing about this now on all the teevee shows & all the front pages.

I lost my job, the price of groceries is way up, my gardener was deported, and they canceled funding for the experimental cancer treatment that was my only chance to live another year. But at least my damn neighbor is afraid to wear a keffiyeh now.

Shingles, or herpes zoster, is a viral infection that causes a painful rash. It is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. After a person recovers from chickenpox, the virus remains inactive in the body. #Shingles occurs when the virus reactivates later in life http://bit.ly/3W9QexQ#Shingles

Someone just told me that garlic is an “overrated seasoning” and long story short it’s always painful when a friendship ends.
