Reminder that if you're arrested in Illinois for protesting ICE, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

People already working hard to prove how perfect Alex Pretti was. To show he didn't "deserve" to be killed. But it's a trap folks. You're only feeding into a dynamic where people who are considered lesser get no protection. You don't have to be an Alex Pretti to deserve to live.

A FOOD

I think they should outlaw corporal punishment.

When people say "Raise The Rates" of welfare income: it is not that we just don't think regular inflation boosts aren't enough. It's that inflation boosts DON'T EXIST. OW is the SAME number it has been since 2018. That is a death sentence.

I think also, that people need to understand that welfare has not increased. Maybe you get a raise with inflation every year, idk. OW hasn't had a single increase since 2018. (When it was raised by $33 LMAO.) Not for inflation. Not even by cents. It has been the same number with NO adjustments.

if I say a t-shirt shouldn't cost $60 and you tell me that's a "fair price" I'm going to need to demand proof your workers are unionized and paid a living wage. I think too many people are taking advantage in acknowledging people deserve better pay by increasing prices w/o action.

Houston Texans’ Azeez Al-Shaair has reportedly been fined $11,593 for wearing eye black that contained the message "stop the genocide” The report says he was fined for violating NFL uniform and equipment rules www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

I’m seeing increased use of this word and I just want to gently suggest that if there’s one word you can manage to remove from your vocabulary it should be this one. It was coined by a eugenicist who used it as a diagnosis to forcibly institutionalize and sterilize mentally disabled people.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

Less than $15k from the goal!

people will complain about vocal fry in people whose voices are actively dropping on T right now try not to take these shallow criticisms seriously. the things you say matter more to me than the way you say them.

The everyday courage of normal people is breathtaking

It's pretty telling to me that Ariel Troster's newsletter indicates she's meeting with shelter staff, not actually unhoused people, about the lack of warming centres. You may as well ask prison guards how prisoners are doing.

sometimes it is 3am and you're learning about the migration of monarch butterflies again and you cry in awe. of what a beautiful place we live in, this planet, what an honour it is to continue to be alive

Watching people “discover” environmental racism, and then double down on doing it has been depressing.

Mutual aid and charity are not the same thing and I think that people's mass confusion about this has come at the cost of a lot of opportunities for genuine community building.

"don't use AI! because it's REAL bad*" *unless it's funny??** **NO! STILL DON'T!!

that is an entirely different thing

The Greek anarchist group Revolutionary Struggle was added to the FTO list in 2009 by Obama's Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton. Another Greek anarchist group, Conspiracy of Cells of Fire, was added in 2011, five years before Trump's first election.

Just a note that menstrual products are the most requested / least donated items in food pantries so if you have the means to pick up supplies perhaps consider it

Mar helped keep me alive earlier this year by helping support me when I was starving. She's an absolute sweetheart who's does so much for others, and she's incredibly important to me. Please consider supporting her if you can. 💜

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

cops give people such a learned helplessness. like people will say they "aren't doing enough" around something or other or that they are "incompetent" (these are folks who aren't abolitionists but *maybe* think defund). but do you not think you could ask someone who actually cares about you for help

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.

I don't think discord servers should be doing @ everyone announcements more than once a week. I also don't think you need to be making them just because there's a new moderator. Like if you want to put that in the announcements channel that's grand. But I don't need to be tagged

*after feeling literally anything* I need to Improve a Skill

I'm not trying to be a dick. But they picked two fat republicans for a bunch of jokes when the young republicans said the worst shit imaginable. My fat ass is out there fighting for what's right. Stop equating fat with bad or less. Stop telling ME I'm one annoyance away from being your target.

"a test"? you mean...a violation?

Does the IDF ask about Palestinians’ sexual orientation before bombing a hospital?

Apple did something very similar to the people of Hong Kong in 2019, removing an app that allowed protesters to track police movements via crowdsourced information: gizmodo.com/apple-sells-...

Close your windows and put on your air purifiers IMMEDIATELY if you live in Southern California.

Assata Shakur's autobiography was a formative work for me as a person. There aren't many books that I think everyone should read, but I think that is one. I am glad that she got to live outside of prison for so long in relative freedom, that she did not die in a prison at the hands of fascists.

everything went downhill when they took porn off tumblr

As someone who has closely followed the effects of ChatGPT on people's mental health, the most shocking thing about this story is that it's *the first* wrongful death suit.

"If you live in a city Trump has announced plans to target ... we have weeks—a month at best—to figure out how to act in concert and resist the militarized fascist onslaught. Even then, we will be late and lacking, but we dare not yield this round of the fight."

#OtD 24 Aug 1945 legendary Black LGBTQ activist, sex worker, Stonewall rebellion participant, and co-founder of STAR (a radical org that provided shelter for homeless queer and trans youth) Marsha P. Johnson was born in New Jersey, US. Learn more: workingclasshistory.com/2019/05/13/e...

Maya is a fucking incredible person and Eggs is an amazing cat, please send help Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

If he looks like he eats cigarettes he may in fact be the noble sidewalk sweeping machine

i saw a comment on tiktok about bad covers for novels saying they’d take all the bad photoshop and weird covers over a genAI one because seeing AI makes an author look untrustworthy. Cuz if they used AI for the cover then pretty sure they must use it for the insides >:| more of this energy needed

People will become reliant on AI and then they will be expected to pay for it as a subscription model probably.

Air Canada strike: “We’re going to stay committed to making sure that those workers can do the job that they love doing and actually be able to afford a roof over their heads, to afford caring for their families,” CUPE president just said. “If it means folks like me going to jail, then so be it.”

"To be accused of speaking too loudly about one injustice but not others by someone who doesn't care about any of them is to be told, simply, to keep quiet." Omar El Akkad, ONE DAY EVERYONE WILL ALWAYS HAVE BEEN AGAINST THIS
