NOT CRYING

Gentlemen: thank you for your service.

These are incredible

Eric Adams somehow still got 6000 votes. Are there that many Turkish developers eligible to vote in NYC?

It is worth saying that putting “Africana studies” in scare quotes as if it’s a ridiculous concept is not a political argument. It’s just racism. “Africa is not worthy of a major” is the implication. Yeah dude you’re just racist. (From Gerard Baker at the WSJ today) www.wsj.com/opinion/mamd...

there is a middle school a block away from here.

ICE marauding around Evanston all day, snatching people near schools, all schools on soft lockdown, on fucking Halloween. 🖕🖕

They wear the same size hood?

The media is about to blitz us with stories about how awful Maduro is and I want you to remember that even if they're all true, they are being issued solely for the purpose of manufacturing consent for invading Venezuela and killing innocent people.

Begging people to understand how big of a deal a net 40-point shift against Israel among your base within two years is for the Democratic Party

We're seeing a massive institutional deportation and state violence apparatus being built and it honestly feels like people dont grasp the sheer scale of it and what already is in place. For every horrific video of masked feds kidnapping people there are so many people pushing paper to help.

Narrow-minded, racist insularity is totally reasonable and acceptable. So says JD Vance. (Also, so is lying and absurd straw men.)

🧊 in Albany Park again today, please warn neighbors/landscapers/construction workers.

To the craven "comedians" who are STILL not speaking up: The manager at the Chicago Laugh Factory was arrested by ICE. They filed no charges, he's a US citizen, and his family doesn't know where he is. They are coming for all of us. Grow a fucking spine and say something while you still can.

Ignorant antisemites: “Why didn’t Jews fight back against Hitler”. Jews:

i just need people to know it's not hypocrisy when Devout Christian Mike Johnson cuts off SNAP benefits. it's not a lack of "christian charity" to make kids starve; it's because the christian right wants to control who gets food, through churches, so they can deny queers and sluts at will

Last week, CNN reported that DHS is funneling $10 billion through the Navy to help expedite the construction of ICE detention facilities across the country meant to hold up to 10,000 people. These are the companies included on the contract vehicle DHS and the Navy are using.

LOL I just saw that MAGA Alderman, and ICE super-fan, Raymond Lopez is now calling for amnesty for migrants. Slippery little weasel must have gotten some polling numbers that shows how tremendously unpopular this all is.

Please, for the love of god, go away. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

I will repost this forever.

Trump's meticulous construction of a secret police force in the traditional authoritarian model: hyper violent, targeting domestic political adversaries, unaccountable under law and to court. Pro Publica does a fine job here, with the sort of piece that NYT, WaPo and WSJ don't have the guts to run.

🧵I sifted through hundreds of donations and found some fascinating stuff Over $300,000 of donations to State Sen. Laura Fine for IL-09 came from donors with deep links to AIPAC, but they aren’t identified as such in FEC filings More 👇🏼👇🏼 evanstonnow.com/aipac-donors...

Chicago: Know your enemies

Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly. Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested. Stay safe out there.

These three things are true: 1. You should go to the rally. 2. You should practice good opsec just in case—even if you're a bunch of retirees milling about in a parking lot, it's good to practice. 3. You should talk to your neighbors and turn the energy into action that will carry past tomorrow.

Tapping the sign.

Anybody whose worth their salt will not collect your data , they will have ways for you to contact them after Don’t put any contact info on ANYTHING

You don't go to school/college/university to be told stuff. You go to be taught the state of the field, how to tell good info from bad, how to evaluate input, etc etc etc. That is thinking. Without education there is just input with no thought. That is precisely how we got here. And here sucks.

This is my thread of posts tracking the "Chicago Flips Red" group. This is a group of mostly Black Republicans, that numbers only *maybe* 10 people, who have been used to create a narrative that Chicagoans want ICE, the National Guard, and Trump.

Sheryl's basic rules for protesting. (This isn't legal advice. The whole point is to NOT need me. Also, if you're a person who won't suffer any harm from going to a protest no matter what you do, congratulations! Most people aren't so privileged, and stop thinking you're the default.)

Dune 2 chicks at the same time

Congratulations to Barry Goldwater. It was the longest gestation in history but your baby has finally been born.

At the Third U.S. Congress against War and Fascism in 1936, Langston Hughes declared: “Fascism is a new name for that kind of terror the Negro has always faced in America. . . . This kind of terrorism is extending more and more to groups of peoples whose skins are not black.”

I feel like Ben Gvir personally being in the room when Greta Thunberg was being tortured should be bigger news

Holy shit. This is Angelo Elia, a legislative correspondent for Congressman Dave Taylor. According to @rooster.info, during a Zoom meeting today, he had an American nazi flag displayed in the background.

the hell in which american jewry is now trapped — everything is antisemitism except actual antisemitism

This is an intentional framing choice that can easily be avoided if one wants to avoid it!

I know the temptation is to just scroll past this with a “not surprised” reaction, but you should read this if you have the emotional bandwidth to encounter horrifying slurs and violent sentiments, because there’s an important takeaway: extremism is often performed to reinforce an in-group’s bond.
