🚨LESS THAN 1 MONTH AWAY FROM OUR BIGGEST MIDWEST #ska FEST YET 🚨 Featuring: @slpancakes.bsky.social @bumsyandmoochers.bsky.social @theoperators.bsky.social @spacemonkeymafia.bsky.social 📍House of Blues

Chicago isn’t a “warzone”… but the Broadview ICE facility is. That’s why it’s time to say enough is enough. But to do that, we need our leaders. And your help:

Donald Trump shut down the government because he doesn't want you to have healthcare. But this isn’t just on him. Democrats MUST use their leverage to protect our rights, but it can’t end there. Schumer and Jeffries can’t just go on TV or write letters, they need clear demands. We need action now.

It’s official: AIPAC is trying to buy my election to keep me out of Congress. Apparently, I’m a “dangerous detractor”... by believing Palestinians (like myself and my family) deserve basic human rights. But we’re not going to let AIPAC win.

Even though we had a ton of fun in the beta and played this much on just one of the weekends, we cancelled our preorders and will not be playing due to EA’s new ownership.

ICE arrested press tonight. They threw a tear gas canister into the press last week. This was not an accident. Release Steve Held.

At the Broadview ICE facility, an ICE agent tried to run dozens of protesters over with an SUV as we walked on a public crosswalk. He kept driving for about a full football field until ICE barraged us with pepper balls.

Braids are a great way to keep your hair out of your face, especially when ICE teargasses you. Also they don’t get caught in a respirator. 10/10 would recommend.

Throughout the summer, @wired.com reporter Kate Knibbs has been following our campaign. From right-wing attacks to our mutual aid work to the 20 bottles of hot sauce in the campaign office, here’s what she saw: www.wired.com/story/kat-ab...

🚨 HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨 For the next month, we're doing an experiment: live-streaming as a core campaign strategy. Every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday, I'll be streaming with guests, games, and (of course) my cat, Heater. And if this works, we'll keep doing it. Join us tomorrow, 7 PM CT.

Today marks six months until Election Day! I don't ask often, so when I do I try to make it count: Can you chip in $5, $10, or our average donation of $32 to help my campaign cover the costs of paying our staff and reaching voters? secure.actblue.com/donate/abu-b...

ICE threw me and other protestors to the ground on Friday because we dared to stand up for our neighbors. I’m okay, but our communities aren’t. We can't afford apathy or inaction from our leaders right now. Abolishing ICE is a moral necessity.

I’ve been at these protests because I feel like our leaders don’t care. I do. This feels ghoulish to ask, but if you want a congresswoman who stands up to ICE, donate to my campaign today. We can’t win without you: secure.actblue.com/donate/abu-bluesky

Just a little something to take the edge off #trombone

The Skaugust is about to be PACKED with shows #ska

Shameful

“Healthcare Heroes” & other Essential Workers are discarded after sacrificing everything. Elites dispose of workers the millisecond they can, even at their own risk.

I Voted for Kodos (reunion show!!) #ska @devonkaysolutions.bsky.social @cobralounge.bsky.social @stopthepresses.bsky.social @slpancakes.bsky.social

Chicago: ICE raids potentially starting on 1/21/25. Please RP. Share with your friends and neighbors!

Trump's fascist anti-immigrant raids are reportedly beginning in Chicago this Tuesday. If you want to be an ally to immigrant communities, I list 7 action items you can start to take now, as well as debunk common anti-immigrant myths that MAGAs often cite: www.qasimrashid.com/p/trumps-mas...

EVERY SINGLE POLITICIAN voted to ban TikTok. Even dems. Don't delude yourself, dems are JUST as corrupt, just not so blatant about it. They banned TikTok because they do NOT want the proletariat educated & sharing info. Its all about control. Haves vs have-nots. Dems are in the same game... 🤦‍♀️

Never forgive the Democrats for handing this W to Trump despite him being the origin of this awful policy. #tiktokban
