RIP Sister JoAnn Persch, immigrant advocate who, alongside Sister Pat Murphy, prayed the Rosary in English & Spanish every Friday outside Broadview ICE, no matter what **since 2007** She was still attempting to minister to people inside Broadview Nov. 1.

Breaking a little news tonight: Senator Chris Van Hollen @vanhollen.senate.gov, speaking tonight at Progressive Maryland's annual gala, just announced he will be sponsoring Medicare for All legislation in the US Senate. This is his first time sponsoring 👀👀👀

Ethical, I argue, use of AI in a classroom: 🧪 Today in one of my intro lecture courses, I got into the basics of community ecology. Essentially how populations (groups of a particular species in a given space and time) interact with other populations (primarily of other species).

Yes we have a new zine for people who are interested: www.librariesforthepeople.org/resources#fo...

You have probably heard that this is a cold season which means it’s wise to wear a coat. And you have probably heard that this is cold season which means it’s wise to wear a mask.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

I have D senators whose voicemails are full, so I sent emails to them and made this call and vow to Schumer whose line is still available for comments.

this is genuinely wild

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

EXPEDITIOUSLY AT LOUD VOLUME

So far election night USA seems to be a real referendum on “normal people are already sick of this shit”

I WOKE UP THIS MORNING IN BERLIN TO NYC FIRST MUSLIM MAYOR. THE INSHALLAH IS STRONG ON THIS ONE. MAYOR ZOHRAN MAMDANI. A GENERATIONAL RUN. 10000/10. NO NOTES.

It hasn't sunk in to folks yet how truly remarkable it is that Mamdani won. It's absolutely incredible.

A seeming bit of history tonight as Ghazala Hashmi becomes the first Asian American to win statewide office in Virginia - and the first Muslim woman to win statewide office *anywhere* in the United States.

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students. Follow AP for live updates.

All the national focus is on New York, but here in Seattle we have our own Dem vs Dem battle of the corrupt old against idealistic new. Katie Wilson (The Hero!) is facing off against Bruce Harrell (The Villain!) Let's go @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social !!!! komonews.com/news/local/s...

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.

hello everyone, tonight the Guardian US data team (me) is going to be following the NYC mayors race. Follow along. First results will be coming out at 9pm ET

YES YOU SHOULD VOTE IN LOCAL ELECTIONS TOMORROW EVEN IF MAMDANI IS NOT ON THE BALLOT WHERE YOU LIVE

🚨November 25th - December 2nd we cut the billionaires off from our $.

"Collectively, the U.S., Canada, Australia, and Norway increased their oil and gas production by nearly 40 percent between 2015 [Paris Agreement signing] and 2024. In the rest of the world, combined oil and gas extraction dropped by 2 percent over the same period" oilchange.org/publications...

Please understand that people will not be "going without SNAP/EBT/food stamps" - people will be going without FOOD. Actually and literally.

With SNAP/EBT cuts looming I highly recommend downloading this app! Basically restaurants and other food businesses will have available bags of random food they don’t wanna waste for ppl to buy for hella cheap! This has saved me sooooo many times when I only have $5 and need some food.

I just don’t think we’re freaking out enough about this SNAP cut. I have spent my whole career working with people who rely on SNAP for food. People who work multiple jobs. Who have kids. What do you think happens when 1/8th of the population can’t buy food anymore? Everything is going to collapse.

BuyNothing is great, and may also be Freecycle in your area. Been able to give craft supplies to a public schoolteacher, Christmas decorations to a divorcee & kids who had nothing, etc. When someone asks for items, the community will almost always swoop in. www.freecycle.org

The people yearn for (democratic) socialism (this one will make you cry)

Sometimes I believe that we will get through this for something better because we are yearning to take care of each other.

Please understand that the only reason this has been released is because of the UCLA faculty association who filed a request and challenged the refusal in court. If you are a UC faculty member, join your FA!

The only truly ethical response that a self-described artist can make. Anything else is a betrayal of one's colleagues.

I’m currently at the entrance to Coast Guard Island where National Guard troops and ICE agents are being housed prior to their deployment on the Bay Area. Couple hundred people are here blocking access in and out. Lots of faith leaders here who are praying at the edge of the property line.

he's knocking down the literal white house and illegally murdering people by dropping bombs on international boats and the government has been shut down for weeks and it's just like....yep

The Trump administration has slashed hundreds of thousands of jobs this year, leaving many vital federal functions un- or under-staffed, and they don’t seem to be letting up. We updated our Equality at Work timeline this week, and here’s what we saw: unbreaking.org/issues/equal...

lol your melanin will always be louder than your rhetoric.

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

About *a third* of global fossil fuel CO2 emissions emitted during the Industrial age have occurred in roughly the last 17 years. The previous third was emitted over a period of roughly 26 years. The first third was emitted over a period of about 131 years.

"CNBC found that one Microsoft data center in Illinois received more than $38 million in data center sales tax exemptions but created just 20 permanent jobs." What are we doing?! 😐 www.cnbc.com/2025/06/20/t...

Discussing this phenomenon w/ a group of profs. Someone morbidly joked, “& northern profs are fleeing the country.” The next person said…”even if we were all willing & able to abandon this place there are not enough jobs for us globally and the U.S. employs a huge # of international scholars too.”

This aged pretty well 😎

I write and I’m not bari Weiss. That’s my newsletter pitch

lol this entire era of politics has proven to me that rules are indeed fake

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

Civil servants demand an end to executive overreach: actionnetwork.org/forms/civil-...

Stephanie and Najia started "Deafies for Zohran" to make this movement accessible to their community. They even created a signature hand sign for “Zohran.” Sign up for a shift and wave 👋🏻 the next time you’re canvassing in Jackson Heights!

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

I don’t think I’ve ever loved anything as much as ICE loves violently attacking women.
