It's cold out here. Can you help Sanctuary Supply Depot keep our neighbors warm? Hit the Venmo at this link and drop a 🌴 in the comment with it. linktr.ee/sanctuarysup...

With ICE and border patrol goons spreading out across the country, I put together a resource guide for buying, printing, and distributing whistles, based on my own experience. Now is the time to whistle up, hope this helps. dansinker.com/posts/202…

At a recent gathering of Rogers Park volunteers, we heard from a neighbor who choked up telling us about their dad turning around and going home when he heard whistles up the street. "One of you may have saved his life that day." It all matters, it really does.

Phillips community, come out for this!

Learn the code, teach your community. Organize your neighbors, and make sure everyone has and carries a whistle. If you’re in the Twin Cities area, program the Monarca 🧊 reporting number into your phone 612-441-2881.

We are committed to cost not being a barrier, especially to our most impacted communities - but we need your help. Can you help us cover the costs? Venmo @mspwhistles

This is actually a genius idea, it is practical and based in unhoused folx's lived experience. Who's in??

The kids get it. www.wowt.com/2025/11/18/o...

Tonight, the Department of Homeland Security announced that on Tuesday they detained 14 of our neighbors on immigration charges. What they initially reported as a targeted criminal enforcement action was in fact an identity-based raid on people who had done nothing but show up for work that day.

In honor of Larry Summers, I asked the female members of my college class (1987) to say if they had any experiences with sexual harassment by teachers/professors, back when this was tolerated as, I dunno, the cost of attending college, and OH MY GOD.

so, so good. run it as a political ad.

The dream

NAOMI we are so grateful for all the work you do make our local communities better! What a public service. You're a mensch. Go vote everybody!

democrats of all stripes should be rallying around kat abughazaleh asap. it doesnt matter where you stand ideologically. trying to jail dissenters is fundamentally unamerican and 100% fascist. democratic leaders at all levels should be making noise about it. you dont need a poll or focus group.

Taylor is a loyal gem! They've already done all the legwork for you! Go vote!

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Every one deserves to eat. It’s that simple.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Save the date for the next one! Sunday Nov 2nd at 1:30pm at Powderhorn!

If I could ask everyone to listen to one thing before voting for mayor in a couple weeks, it would be the 6 minutes of testimony by Council President Payne from 2022 emotionally discussing the prevailing racist working environment in city hall. www.youtube.com/live/8QpmSL-...

i’ve posted here repeatedly about privileging the lie and the importance of NOT using the frame the fash want you to (and how basically everyone fails at this completely) this is a whole ass thread of great examples of how to do it correctly

Frame: food stamps are used by undeserving / Black people Negation: actually many people on food stamps are deserving / white Kirby: THEY ARE STARVING PEOPLE ON PURPOSE. They are using racist tropes to justify it bc many people will find that persuasive. Everyone deserves to eat

frame: trump's "university compact" is mostly mainstream and some more partisan ideas negation: this is very extreme and not at all mainstream kirby:

Frame: this man is here illegally Negation: actually his paperwork is in order Kirby: this is a racist attack by fascists bc a Black man is leading a school district, and the better he's doing the more they hate him

i made a helpful reference

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

I took a client to the Cleveland food bank and they turned us away because it was too crowded. 😔 You know how hard it is to talk a person off the ledge when they thought they were bout to get groceries and they can't!?!?!?

If you can, please support a local food bank today. The need is urgent. Find one near you here: www.feedingamerica.org/find-your-lo...

My latest. "Do not allow your values to be captured and contained behind a screen in a cycle of inactive reaction. Jailbreak your cynicism and isolation, and escape your devices. Bring your hope, rage, and potential into the world."

I read Robin Wall Kimmerer's book The Serviceberry and some of the things she says in that book really affected me. "Store your abundance in those around you." I don't mean to appropriate something that's not mine but I think about those words every day and I hope to do right by them

this one is good too

hey so for once there's an actual happy update to something our local ice cream guy came home and he's getting a green card

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.

ROMPE-HIELOS COMUNITARIO!

South Minneapolis! Come get a whistle and get some practice in!

Mumia Abu-Jamal Speaks With the Clear Voice of a Free Man

My friend told me that her 14 year old son started doing laundry on Sundays for some of his elderly neighbors. He doesn't charge for the labor. And now he is the most popular person in the building and has non stop pies, cookies, and cake. The 14 year old should be our model of modern masculinity.

"It's OK, they were 14" is getting really tired.

For folks asking if they've made it *inside* a Home Depot yet as the business has clearly just continued letting agents do whatever they want in their lots, the answer is yes. This is from yesterday in Evanston.

I get food assistance in minnesota and got this text tonight. MFIP is our TANF

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Folks if you usually do end-of-year/holiday charity giving, consider moving it up to the beginning of November instead and hit up however many local food pantries you can afford to give to. (Check if you or a spouse/partner's employer does charity matching, too.)

y’all I’m going to be real, the workers at the biggest music venues in DC are trying to unionize we need IMP the parent company to recognize voluntarily that won’t happen without noise please, bluesky, do what u do best @930club.bsky.social @theatlantisdc.bsky.social @theanthemdc.bsky.social

MN has shut down SNAP payments and they won’t come back until federal govt reopens. Feed your neighbors. Find out who needs food & make sure they're not hungry.

Oh you're trying to say the cost of living is skyrocketing? Donald Trump can't hear you over the sound of bulldozers demolishing a wing of the White House to build a new grand ballroom.
