Trump is scrambling to consolidate power before his own unpopularity takes him down. Our job is to build a big, bold, joyful opposition strong enough to stop him. Join us on Oct.18 for No Kings 2: www.nokings.org/?SQF...

zionism is "pro the existence of Jewish self-determination in the Jewish ancestral homeland" Anti-zionism is against that. Antisemitism is anti-Jew. Objecting to actions of the Israeli state (but not its existence) is not remotely antizionist

Here’s what Democrats need to be saying right now: Donald Trump wants to make it illegal to oppose Donald Trump. He wants to end freedom of speech and for the government to punish anyone who speaks out against him. He’s a tyrant and a criminal and is trying to overthrow the constitution.

Want to join me for this Food

@jafzelius.bsky.social Did you and/or Nils go to the protest today? We did.

Chicago’s protest was well attended. Here are a few of my favorite signs.

Congratulations, Ms. Johnson. “I think the coolest thing I've learned is that oysters actually serve as a filter in the water. I did not know that. And they actually can serve as a home to over 300 species in the water,” said Johnson. #science #innovation #biology #nature #Mississippi

Finished this sweater this week.

Rivers on fire. Toxic air. No one wants to go back. But the White House is gutting protections that keep us safe—who benefits, besides polluters? Lies don’t justify poisoning out people. #TruthBrigade

A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping with major retailers tomorrow, February 28, as part of an “economic blackout.” I encourage you to join. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/boycott

Trump and his puppet master Musk went rogue and illegally froze billions of dollars of congressionally allocated funds, leaving many agencies and organizations scrambling. Even after this was overruled in court, nearly $1.9 billion remains unaccounted for. The people of Illinois demand answers.

Climate change is making plants less nutritious − that could already be hurting animals that are grazers

What we need right now! 👏👏👏

Musk aides gain access to sensitive Treasury Department payment system Would someone please explain to me why Elon should be able to access the Justice Department payment system? 🤷🏻‍♀️

It takes a special kind of chutzpah for federal officials to detain Navajo/Diné people as undocumented migrants.

Just drove past our synagogue in Evanston. There is a protester with an anti-Zionist placard and a Palestinian flag. Because of course we control the Israeli army from the Chicago suburbs.

Did your child lose their book collection in the Los Angeles fires? Are you a teacher at a school that lost its library or your classroom library? Whether you need one book or a whole library, we can replace your books. 📚 Everyone else, please boost this post so we can connect with those in need. 🙏

Trump’s Treasury nominee Scott Bessent, worth $525 million, thinks $7.25 an hour is just fine for everyone else. Must be nice to have no concept of what a paycheck feels like.

Sorry but I ❤️ this!

@wild-onion.bsky.social. Are you wild onion market in Chicago? This is Michelle, board secretary.

This is so true- and it breaks my heart.

My letter in today's Guardian. Just asking, like. But I think we know the answer.

In light of Greenland/ Panama Canal/ Canada & especially the Gulf of Mexico, I figured it was time to repost this classic Doonesbury.

Please stop saying "rolled back diversity goals" and start saying "the company capitulated to a segregationist movement." www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...
