Seen in Wrigleyville

Good evening everyone. It's me again here to ask NYC residents to please send a letter to your City Council person in support of allocating 0.5% of the city expense budget to our local public libraries. Thank you. It will only take you 90 seconds: bit.ly/3Jo1R1n

Want to help feed people during the SNAP shutdown and also enter to win a whole bunch of cool stuff? Donate to any food bank, food pantry, or mutual aid group that distributes food, post a receipt here, and I'll use a random number generator to draw a winner. More details in 🧵:

NYC folks, if you are in the 1st Judicial District, please vote for the candidates for Supreme Court Justices that are on the @workingfamilies.org line NOT the Democratic line. Thank you.

So who’s the hater and who’s the waiter?

been thinking about this a lot and want to (again) plug Astoria Food Pantry which will need extra funding to help our neighbors if/when SNAP benefits are cut off. we've already been running out of food faster than usual this month—any donation amount will help! givebutter.com/afp2025

donating food to your local pantry is GREAT and helpful, but money is best imo because we work with vendors/places who are able to give us bulk food and better prices than the average grocery store. if you're debating between giving a pantry canned goods or $20? definitely $20

Border patrol agents deployed tear gas on the 3700 block of North Kildare where residents say a landscape worker, a resident, and a woman on a bike were detained. Video from a resident.

No surprise donations for the poor.

Laser and tattoo studios who offer pro-bono or heavily discounted work for removing/covering up Harry Potter and Nazi tattoos are doing great work.

I know I'm preaching to the choir here but this is what actually makes me feel unsafe in my hometown, not the idea of a free bus

Islamophobia is front and center in the last days of the NYC mayor's race NEW from @yoavgonen.bsky.social + @clauirizarry.bsky.social:

My latest — I wrote about Cuomo’s vile racist speed run in the final days of the mayoral campaign, with gross comments on a right wing radio show, an AI video best suited for 4chan, and his weaponization of white and Jewish grievance to beat the would-be first Muslim Mayor of NYC:

A reminder that the Resilience photo show that I will have a print in opens tomorrow, along with three other photography shows at Brooklyn Grain tomorrow evening. Details can be found in the below post ⬇️

There's something the Democratic party should learn here but they won't. They'll continue to hire consultants to that tell them to work on converting moderates and conservatives instead of going out and talking to their potential voter base.

Google doc with Know Your Rights zines/cards in multiple languages, excellent additions to whistle packets if you want to make them drive.google.com/drive/folder...

People in Chi & other places having Whistlemania events (or u can do this solo if ur an introvert!) Buy whistles to alert folks to ICE activity & you can print out KYR fliers & legal info & make it into a packet (lots of places to distribute these incl bars stores Little FreeLibrary etc).

tfw u become a waiter for your hater ☹️

If you’re in the US it may be a good thing to do if you can afford it to have a small food pantry on your porch on Halloween for families of Trick or Treaters- SNAP benefits not existing in November will mainly impact children ❤️

Ah jeez. As officially announced on Soft Cell’s site and social media, the mighty Dave Ball has passed.

Let's try something new. If you donate to a food bank and tell me how much and which one, I'll match your donation. If it's less than $50, I'll round up. Tag me, reply here, or DM if you prefer. Why food banks? Because if we want to survive a general strike, we need to keep people fed.

Dunno what kind of mood I was in but here's another eclectic mix of low end heavy sounds. Dubstep, breakbeats, UK Garage, some eclectic "other" type stuff. Just the usual things from me. And yes the final song is from THAT 5 Seconds of Summer and yes it caught me off guard enough to include.

Earth People, New York and California! Earth People,

absolute beast mode

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

The madman did it. He really did it

Reminder block this account as it a well known bad faith troll and a rightwing plant account. Mike is a wallmart it employee not the info security expert he claims. He is also a well known conspiracy theorist.

If you’re looking for a way to support Chicago, this fund helps us take care of my neighbors who are suffering the most under the federal occupation. Donations go to meet people’s basic needs: clothing, food, healthcare, assistance with bills, etc. apcommunityfund.betterworld.org/donate

I am participating in a group exhibition called "Resilience" at Brooklyn Grain that will have an opening reception on Friday, 10/24. The exhibit, plus three others, will be on view all next weekend from 12-5PM at Brooklyn Grain. Hope to see everyone there! bit.ly/resilienceat...

one thing about new york city is there's ALWAYS gonna be "spontaneous counter-protesters," there's people on the street everywhere all the time and we all hate these guys

First pass at the chaotic scene that just happened in Lower Manhattan. Military-Style Sweep Hits NYC as Masked Federal Agents Arrest Canal Street Vendors www.thecity.nyc/2025/10/21/i...

Federal agents are staging a massive operation downtown near Canal street. Show of force with reportedly dozens of agents from agencies including ICE, FBI, IRS, DEA, etx

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

I’m now being connected with other neighbors who want to do whistle nights, so please continue sending me whistle donations! Message emidly.08 on signal for a shipping address or Venmo link

I will have more on this later but it’s breathtakingly cynical and hypocritical, designed to appeal to the group of NYC voters (transit-obsessed policy wonks) most prone to abhor Cuomo on a deep visceral almost personal level.

"sir a second Nazi groupchat infodump has hit Politico"

"Disney saw more than double the typical number of customers cancel their Disney+ and Hulu subscriptions in September — when subscribers threatened to quit because of Jimmy Kimmel's brief suspension."

An image of the Trump-Vance presidency smashing a wrecking ball into the White House to build a monument to Dear Leader—during a government shutdown—captures 2025 pretty well

I’d say this is damn good reason for Democrats to hold fast to the shutdown until Republicans agree to protect ACA credits.

Action comes from shared understanding. Who is talking about their experience in a way that resonates with yours? If you see your experience accurately represented local media start working those sources into your media consumption, especially local independent media. Like, subscribe, donate!

Think of one person who you think is involved in your community in a cool way. Reach out to them and ask if there's anything they're working on that you can help with or any upcoming meetings you can plus one on. Or just find some time to hang out with them and learn about how they stay involved.
