I’m a little worried about the environments all these people who know people with Nazi tattoos grew up in. Was there a father in the home? Were everybody’s pants a little too pulled up?

Wait, who has a Nazi tattoo??? It’s so hard to keep up with Caucasian shenanigans, omg.

Less than 2 weeks until publication. I’m still busy as hell working in concert with my community to respond to a federal invasion and regular attacks on our neighbors and their defenders. Any help getting the word out about this book, which I believe can help us all right now, is deeply appreciated.

Them: I used ChapGPT to find a dinner recipe. Me: Oh, wow, so you like poisoning black neighborhoods so you can cook… *lowers reading glasses*…a roast chicken that’s still too dry. Wow.

Many folks can’t comprehend the loneliness and frustration of dealing with chronic illness. They believe that when you get sick, you go to the doctor and they “fix it.” The reality is far different. You’re often gaslit, ignored or mistreated. You learn quickly that no one is coming to save you

I worry that with Trump news 24/7, we're missing out on important trends, etc., that don't get enough traction in the daily news cycle. This feels like one of those stories.

I hate and love the UPLOAD ending tbh 😭😭

Chicago journalist Debbie Brockman, who was thrown to the ground & handcuffed by ICE, has been released without charges DHS said she assaulted an officer, but eye witnesses claim she didn’t The lack of charges makes it clear that ICE is lying to try and cover up the fact that they attack the press

youfeellikeshit.com my therapist told me about this. it's a little walk through on how to feel better when you feel like shit. im working through it now. it is, delightfully, in twine

That's two Chicago journalists feds have arrested (that I know of) in the last few weeks. We're less than 24 hours out from federal judge Sara Ellis entering a restraining order that was supposed to protect journalists, among others, from abuse by federal agents.

Consider this my #BannedBooksWeek reminder that members of the #GraphicMedicine community have to care about this issue. Why? Because graphic medicine is heavily targeted, especially comics about sex and gender, both directly and through invisible soft censorship. Support your libraries!

Everyone deserves healthcare. Everyone deserves housing. Everyone deserves education. Everyone deserves food & clean water. This should not be controversial. They’re basic human rights. We could provide them to everyone if we abolished the billionaire class and taxed corporations properly.

I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.

All eyes on Broadview, Illinois tonight. Broadview is a suburb about 12 miles west of Chicago. Our friends are reporting on the scene ⬇️

“Fuck them kids.” That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other. abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi...

BREAKING: The director of the presidential library and museum in Abilene, Kansas, said he was suddenly told to resign or be fired. He refused to give the Trump administration a historic sword from the museum’s collection.

1-866-952-4456 to tell Netflix that in no way do you want Elon fucking Musk determining what you watch. I just called, got through in about 15 seconds, and told them that I strongly support queer inclusion in their programming and that I will cancel my subscription if they cave.

beyond heartbreaking

Finally Barbara’s story is getting national attention. New update from her gofundme: she is now in a Louisiana ICE processing center after three days of travel in shackles. She’s sleeping on the floor and has been denied care for her medical condition.

If you’re feeling lonely, sad, hopeless or exhausted… please know you’re not alone. The disability community is a powerful force. We may be isolated. Many of us may be housebound. But in many ways, we are “alone together”. Take a break. Rest & recharge. We have your back.

Did you know ICE is holding a disabled advocate and whistleblower who helped shut down one of their detention centres? Alma Bowman is a 58 year old woman from Georgia who spent 30 months in ICE custody during the first Trump regime. When released she became a fearless advocate for detainees 🧵

People with mild ME/Long Covid & people who have recovered, please start advocating for the most severe instead of mildwashing the disease & using your story to sell your personal projects while feeding the media narrative of “individual overcoming” 🙏

“Leave their church potluck casserole untouched” If you didn’t grow up in evangelical circles, you have no idea how cold this is. I’m just picturing a woman hissing at her husband who works for ICE because“They won’t even touch my tater tot casserole anymore Bob.”

I can’t tell you how much good could be done right now by average citizens socially cold-shouldering anyone tangentially working for ICE.

Got my performance review.

As ICE continues to terrorize Chicagoland, protesters gathered this morning outside the Broadview detention center—throwing stuffed animals at DHS agents, playing music through tear gas assaults, and putting their bodies on the line to stop ICE vehicles. My latest.

Crafting a thread of Black Teen graphic novels! I might diverge a bit if: A. The characters are Black but not the author B. I run out of Black graphics to review/post Note: This is my final for my Black Youth Lit class, but I picked this for my final as I feel I've been slacking on posting 😅

Today is Bi Visibility Day, so the annual reminder: Do not rob banks today. They can *see* you today. Conversely, crossing the street is less risky today, for similar reasons.
