“We have rarely witnessed such brutality erupt into public view like it has in Chicago,” writes Michael Woolf, senior minister of Lake Street Church of Evanston. “For me, this is a spiritual emergency, and it means putting our bodies on the line in order to stop deportations.”

I cannot emphasize enough that if you feel sad, donating money makes you feel better. Local food bank, diaper bank, mutual aid, a favorite charity, cancer research, or a local news site like @thecity.nyc; there are so many options. Money is the most efficient donation. Or sign up to volunteer.

been doing some light reading about the aftermath of the korean dictatorship and I think it's really important that we repeat this to ourselves, to our friends, to our neighbors, to our politicians

Oh yeah? Would you call that a global power grab of some sort? I wonder where they're at politically…

You cannot separate the current nightmare we now inhabit from the collapse/crisis in how rich, powerful middle-aged men perceive masculinity, especially their own insecurities.

Men who can’t handle a woman who looks like she would stand up for herself really love telling on themselves

The Bay Area as a whole should step forward and find a way to fund this wonderful program, if the UC system bizarrely won’t.

And now, if you read the devastating piece about what Venezuelan deportees endured at the El Salvador torture prison, read what incarcerated U.S. citizens endure in Alabama prisons. State prisons in the U.S. that are massive systems of human rights violations. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/oc...

"Police dishonesty, even on the stand and under oath, is so common that it has its own name (“testilying”), and it has forced prosecutor offices to create what are called “Brady Lists” of officers they will not put on the stand out of fear they’ll commit perjury."

Something to read while we wait to see if SCOTUS upholds Trump’s mission to starve people

Utah was the first state where a woman legally cast a vote and Utah was the only state to ever revoke that right. The sentiments at the time were similar to the ones in this article—a sense that if women didn’t vote the way men wanted, then men didn’t think they should vote at all.

There’s no such thing as “conservative feminism.” They’re co-opting the label “feminist” as a shield against critiques of their misogyny. But you can’t be a feminist if your entire platform is stripping rights from other women to hand them to men.

The "worst of the worst" now targeted by masked "police" now include preschool teachers.

This thread ... whew

Despite recent threats of an immigration enforcement “surge” in the Bay Area, thousands gathered at Sunday's festival in Oakland’s Fruitvale district. Festivalgoers participated in El Tímpano’s “altar comunitario,” sharing memories of their loved ones. www.eltimpano.org/english/crea...

Polka dot dress lady was out here fighting ICE in Commes des Garçons. And now she’s donated her dress to raise funds for immigrants @thenyic.bsky.social. Bidding closes Nov 10.

As a neuroscientist, I’d suggest there is a profound disconnect between what *some* computer scientists think is representative of “intelligence”, cognitive ability, or descriptions of consciousness from some in AI work. LLMs are not how neural systems process information, nor how brains function.

BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting. If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.

Same! And if everyone shared our reaction this would be a much more functional society.

Friends— here it is. Updated & expanded thanks to the space afforded to me in the @therumpus.net & the guidance of the brilliant @roxanegay.bsky.social’s edits. The win centers Muslims humanity — but what does that mean in a country that rejects that? therumpus.net/2025/11/05/z...

AI data centers are straining already fragile power and water infrastructures in communities around the world, leading to blackouts and water shortages. “Data centers are where environmental and social issues meet,” says Rosi Leonard, an environmentalist with @foeireland.bsky.social.

Happiness really is shocking sometimes.

ICE detained a US citizen with a toddler in the backseat. ICE had to be bullied by the crowd to not do their usual MO and drive off with the man and just leave the car in the road. The crowd asked them to let the family come take the baby. Instead they drove off with the child

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

“I know ppl who are in the country legally and have been taken away. One was the girlfriend of our guitar technician. She had been in the US for 25 years, came in w/a visa, paid taxes. In her last appointment at immigration, she got carried away and has been at a detention centre for five months.”

"I've had covid enough times in my life..." 🎯🎯🎯

I still remember how I felt this night. This was an extremely particular moment in history that cannot be duplicated in any way. Pop culturally and politically it felt like absolutely ANYTHING was possible. Him winning that election felt like drugs for alot of people

REMINDER: A socialist act by a New Yorker was a major reason why polio was eliminated in the US.

In 2019, Keke Palmer gave us a momentary imagining of an America untouched and unaffected by Dick Cheney. www.jezebel.com/sorry-not-so...

Another thing (and so they should consider leaving me alone) is that this “we need to forgive people for what they said in the past to grow the party” owes a significant discursive debt to the MeToo backlash that has unilaterally sold the idea that “woke feminism” went too far.

Damn, even the cat voting?

the "If Zohran wins I'm moving out of New York" crowd should have 30 days to post the zillow listing

thank you for the outpouring of support! those of us laid off from Teen Vogue yesterday are now sharing our GoFundMe to help us cover our emergency expenses now that we've lost our incomes, as we get back on our feet.

“In January 2021 after the politics section had broken our traffic records with coverage of the COVID pandemic, George Floyd protests, election, and Capitol insurrection, Anna Wintour asked [news and politics editor] Lucy Diavolo if we still needed a politics section. After all, Joe Biden had won.”
