Note the people honking horns and blowing whistles in the background, making it clear that this was being witnessed by many people.

I feel like I’m going to regret passing this up.

Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal warns ICE: "No law enforcement professional wears a mask... Those that come into our communities wearing a mask to commit crime... You getting arrested". "Fake wannabe law enforcement... The criminal in the WH will not be able to keep you from going to jail".

This is not the law.

impeach noem if it makes you feel better, but help us at least suspend a common police chief when one of their officers slays a black person sitting in their car/sitting in a park swing/standing on a sidewalk/etc. solidarity with blacks is foundational for antifascism; never think theyre unrelated.

ICE funding expired January 30 call Congress to say whether you think it should be continued. US Capitol switchboard: 202-224-3121.

ICE’s public violence should be a reminder that they commit brutal acts in private facilities too. Every report has been horrific and we only have the smallest glimpse into the horrors.

“As a Ukrainian, I know how dangerous disinformation can be. The war in Ukraine did not start with weapons. It started with disinformation, propaganda and lies that prepared ground for violence. Disinformation must be challenged early, strongly and clearly, because hate spreads faster than facts.”🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇺🇦

Oh ho! Scooped up and bought immediately. Simon Winchester on one of my favorite weather topics? Nothing better (except hounds and horses).

Unmitigated illness is a tool used by fascists to eliminate the groups of people they hate & have deprived of resources, while making money off those who can afford to play the pay-to-win game of for-profit healthcare. Wearing an n95 is an act of hope, solidarity, & resistance. Give/get mutual aid:

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

Do you guys realize that we do not have to accept generative AI? Do you realize that the world still exists and people still exist and relationships exist and all of those things matter?

Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control. All-seeing surveillance systems don’t make us safer. They are in direct opposition to our civil liberties. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene. A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.

I’ve now had multiple sources tell me the UK NHS is removing the CDC from its list of reliable sources. Welcome to irrelevance.

If you’re in any doubt about what rolling back vaccines and raising barriers to access means, read her article. As the daughter of a polio survivor and someone with immunocompromised family members and friends—hell, as a human being who has seen how vaccines help us and our animals, too—I’m worried.
