Mere weeks after an ICE agent fatally killed a Minneapolis mother, federal agents opened fire on another person in the city. They don’t need better training. They need to be abolished.

If you need to ground yourself in the fight ahead and deep care for your community, I can't recommend @yaffasutopia.bsky.social's offerings enough Abolish ICE & free Palestine 🔥

they’re abducting our neighbors and putting them in concentration camps and they’ll empty a whole goddamn magazine into you while you’re lying on the ground if you don’t cheer them on while they’re fucking doing it.

Yesterday, Minneapolis gave us hope. That’s what they’re trying to kill: the will of a people who are willing to fight them.

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

Grow theeeee fuuuuuck uppp!!!!!

I got nothing eloquent to say. Revolution now.

You can feel like something is inevitable and still experience shock. Many of us knew something like this would happen, bc things like this have already happened, bc law enforcement functions with impunity, bc ICE kept drawing its guns on observers. But emotional and moral shock can still occur.

When you learn how many "they should have just followed orders" people are in this country, then you begin to understand how we arrived to the point of a federal fascist takeover.

If your analysis of Venezuela starts and ends with one white man then you’re most likely part of the problem. This isn’t the first invasion, it is not the last. Empire functions as it’s meant to. If you believe the above then you also function as Empire demands.

Every empire falls.

From the inbox: Activists in Chicago protested a meeting of the IL State Board of Investment this morning, over Illinois' $100M+ investment in Israel Bonds. Video posted online by the US Palestinian Community Network shows protestors at the meeting linking arms, and then being removed by police.

Happy book birthday to Sahar Mustafah for your stunning new novel, The Slightest Green. ✨I saw so much of my own experience within the pages of this book and it’s been an incredible honor to share it with others. 🌿

Celebrating another win today. We got Hashen a new tent! He's off the street with his family now at least. Though he's worried since it's a cloth tent with no waterproofing. Can we get him money for nylon waterproofing please? It will literally save him money long term chuffed.org/project/1258...

There is no peaceful settler colony. There never was. Colonization is an ongoing act of violence.

Boycott the UAE and end the genocide in Sudan www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/10...

More than 460 people were reportedly killed in a North Darfur hospital that was overrun by Sudanese paramilitary forces, the WHO said

The one call to action people could amplify is a trade and arms embargo on the UAE until they stop arming and supporting the RSF. The UAE is one of Canada and the US’ biggest trading partners in the MENA region. #KeepEyesOnSudan #KeepEyesOnDarfur

Growing up, my mother worked full time providing care for the elderly and her wages were not enough to house us or feed us. We survived because of section 8 housing benefits and food stamps. We thrived because we were lucky enough to attend good public schools in our small town...

Israel never ceases fire. And even if it did, it would still be carrying out military occupation, apartheid, mass arrests, land theft & more. Boycott Israel. Divest from Israel. Sanction Israel. Genocide is an active project & we are complicit. Action is the only way forward

Fight for the state to do better everyday AND do better everyday. WE are the only care we can rely on, they will never be built for us. They will never do the right thing. SNAP being cut is an invitation to do the work if you’re not already. The time has always been now!

Close the Broadview abduction facility and abolish ICE www.caarpr.org/irwc

The beloved Saleh Al-Jafarawi has been murdered. We are absolutely devastated. For 2 years he reported on the genocide of his people, just for him to be murdered during the ‘ceasefire’

The deployment of tear gas throughout the Chicago area is a growing health concern. ICE is deploying tear gas in residential neighborhoods, near children, playgrounds, stores, etc. What are the health implications on our communities?

an Indigenous Peoples Day reminder that borders are bullshit and every Indigenous person from across the Americas deserves to be in the US more than every person of European origin fuck borders, fuck ICE, land back.

Holy shit, what????

Congratulations @genni.bsky.social on winning the #2025IgnyteAwards in Outstanding Creative Nonfiction for AFRO-CENTERED FUTURISMS IN OUR SPECULATIVE FICTION

It's heartening to see THYME TRAVELLERS win an Ignyte Award ✨❤️ I was honored to contribute a queer, mystical short story to this anthology alongside many incredible Palestinian speculative fiction writers I deeply admire, edited by @soniasulaiman.bsky.social in all her brilliance 🌿

I don’t know what to say except that the Ignytes mean so much to me, are so important for the community. I’m incredibly honoured to say this is my first win, and a win for all the contributors. Thank you all! 🍉

I didn’t know what to say before, with Thyme Travellers winning just now. All I have to say is please continue to support Palestinians loudly and without apology. So much love to you all!

If you don’t see the link between ICE and the IDF, you haven’t been paying attention. We are being asked to accept a world where whole communities are made disposable and marked for disappearance. If we accept that for anyone, no one is safe anywhere.

ICE hit our area hard again today. I spent the morning and afternoon on patrol, and then came home for Understory, the emotional and spiritual support group for activists I co-facilitate. @tanuja.bsky.social was going to cover for me, but I decided I needed to be there, for my sake. I was right.

Seeing pictures of an abandoned tamale cart in Pilsen where ICE took a tamale street vendor. Those photos of left behind carts are so haunting. Community members disappeared. Not just vendors but people who have long standing relationships with the community and people.

2 years of genocide. I mourn the dead, and I mourn the living. None of us will ever be the same, none of us should ever be the same.

Happy pub day to LETTERS FROM A LIVING UTOPIA!! @yaffasutopia.bsky.social www.commonnotions.org/letters-from-a-living-utopia

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 Massacres are currently unfolding in northern Gaza and in eastern neighborhoods of Gaza City, such as Zaytoun, Sabra, and Shuja’iyya, yet there are no journalists on the ground and no media coverage from these areas.

I feel like I’m leading two parallel lives. In one, I’m fine. I’m leading a comfortable bourgeois life, I’m healthy, I have food and shelter. In the other, I’m watching the worst horrors, I can barely breathe, I’m screaming into the void, and nothing seems to help. Unbearable.

Israel has been murdering Palestinian truth tellers for 8 decades. The journalist, the poet, the novelist, the academic, the organizer, the doctor. The goal has always been to bomb and shoot its way into Palestinian silence. It has never achieved victory. It never will.

Banging the pots loud 🥄🥄🥄 A dear friend gifted me this spoon during my wife's surgery a couple months into the current genocide. Now it has found a noisy new purpose 🔥 🥄

Israel destroyed a Palestinian seed bank today. This is such a specific kind of evil, targeting literal hope for the future. Attempting to further alienate Palestinians from their home and land. So much destroyed just for the sake of destroying. It's awful.

Democratic Congressman @repbillfoster.bsky.social repeatedly voted to fund and arm Netanyahu even as he commits genocide, refuses to even acknowledge the famine he helped fund, & is now having police remove people protesting at his town hall. Bill Foster: Scientist, Businessman, Genocide Enabler

She's Publisher's Marketplace official! ♥️🇵🇸 If you're interested in book about a haunted house that fights back against its occupiers - and the three generations of Palestinian women who are bound to it - then look out September 2026 from Tor Nightfire and Orbit UK!

There is no two sides There’s occupier & occupied Genocide enforcer & genocide victims Only one side is mass starving refugees in concentration camps Only one side is enforcing apartheid & blockade Only one side is demolishing homes & torturing prisoners That side is Israel

Gaza Freedom Flotilla has released statement that Black labour leader Chris Smalls (Amazon Labour Union) faced violence that no one else on Handala did. He has been severely beaten in Israeli custody. Smalls follows in legacy of Black radical tradition for Palestine. Labour must stand for Smalls.

At the Israeli prison, US human rights defender Chris Smalls was physically assaulted by seven uniformed individuals. They choked him and kicked him in the legs. We condemn this violence against Chris and demand accountability for the assault and discriminatory treatment he faced. #BreakTheSiege

6000 @UNRWA trucks waiting at the border to feed those hungry babies, those hungry mamas and babas, those hungry kittens on the street. 6000 trucks could feed them for three months. But your tax dollars won’t let that happen.

HELL YEAH THYME TRAVELERS 🌱 🍉 🌴 🫒
