Here's your chance to do something about the people being starved and beaten in Broadview ICE custody. Share this post, and I'll donate $1 to the Midwest Immigration Bond Fund (www.mibfc.org). And if you make a donation to them, let me know how much and I'll match it 1:1.

🚨 ICYMI: @uninoticias.bsky.social & @noticiastelemundo.com broadcast Trump’s deportation messaging straight into our homes. This is intimidation. And they’re doing it to the very people who built their audience. Don't stay quiet 🗣️ Tell them to pull the ads #ApagaElOdio app.sosha.ai/s/irVimv3j

I hear *someone* is having a sale next week. I guess they have to try and recoup some of that $2.5 billion they’re forking over for *checks notes* being deceptive? Who would’ve thought? Feels like Oct 7 & 8 will be prime days to support independent bookstores. 😌

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

This is the Parker Pile in my neighborhood. FYI majority white neighborhood of Chestnut Hill just north of here got their Parker Pile closed and told folks to bring their trash here to Mount Airy/Germantown. 🫠

Would love to see my fantastic state rep @reprabb.bsky.social win this seat!

i just find this so bizarre. searching through texts and doing the reading for myself is how i actually think through ideas! trying to put together a sentence is how i figure out what i actually want to say!

An absolutely delightful assortment of people who commented on my sign, but mostly old lefties and young anti-fascists. Love you Philly, never change.

ICE will be ramping up its activity in Philadelphia, Seattle, NYC, Chicago, and Northern Virginia. Stay the fuck out of Philly!!

The gap between what people think their politics are and what they really are can be so shockingly large.

Just to be clear, takes like this suck as much as the people they’re complaining about

Yay @dirtbagqueer.rocks 's book is finally here! I've really enjoyed her writing on Defector and am looking forward to reading this.

The Trump admin has just detained Mohsen Mahdawi, who: –has green card –was Columbia Buddhist club president –saw his best friend shot & killed by Israeli soldier –said "we are against antisemitism because antisemitism is a form of injustice, and injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere"

After New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker's 25-hour speech, a 14-year-old Palestinian American who was raised in New Jersey was killed by Israel in the West Bank on Sunday, and Cory Booker hasn't said a thing about this:

Not really interested in hearing anyone with the Los Angeles Dodgers talking next week about how important Jackie Robinson was when they all smiled and posed today with a white supremacist trying extra hard to re-segregate society.

I wonder if all the new moves the admin is making today are because Chuck Schumer went on tv yesterday and said he wasn't going to do anything to stop them

I am so thankful for Barbara Smith's work and am happy to be a monthly supporter to her caring circle. Please join me if you are able!

Thing is that Sen. Anthony Williams has received millions of $ over years from Jeff Yass, who is a major part of the reason why Trump is in power & DEI is under attack. If Williams is serious about taking a stand, he would permanently sever his relationship w/ Yass. www.inquirer.com/politics/ant...

Straight fire here from Ta-Nehisi Coates about the Democratic Party. "If you can’t stand up against genocide, why should I believe you can stand up for democracy?” (thx @guyoron.net)

Thread 🧵 In the next few days, the Senate might consider the Orwellian bill The HALT Fentanyl Act Let me explain why this would be a terrible idea and what you should do to fight back

This is why people who use drugs have trust issues. Cause even the “good guys” talk about them like they’re less than. FWIW almost everyone I talk to who uses drugs will ask me for more vaccine recommendations if I even remotely bring up the subject. Cause they actually know what harm reduction is…

Really wild how people continue to act like RFK Jr.’s problem is his remote history of heroin addiction in sustained recovery and not the fact that he’s a sociopathic, science denying, con artist, who wants kids to die so he can make a buck, which has nothing to do with him using heroin decades ago.

Tried to start a yearbook. 😩 Yes, it was Catholic school and the funny thing is once I left parochial schools I never experienced another detention or corporal punishment.

Without downloading any new pics, where are you mentally?

The absolute glee some are displaying in blaming Palestinians, and people who protested on their behalf, for their own ethnic cleansing is a strategic error (obvs you target the decision maker), a political error (obvs you need those votes), and a moral error (obvs fix your hearts or die).

Cherelle Parker and the Kensington Caucus refuse to listen to people with the expertise to know how misguided this approach is, and some of our most vulnerable community members are paying the price for their ignorance and cruelty.

I am so sick of this from libs. It would actually be great having someone with lived experience running HHS (not him! and not someone with his views on SUD).

is it uncharitable to say, i hope the new york times leadership gets not one moment of peace after this

That cancelled TV show you'll never stop thinking about

This was a great reminder to donate and to set up a monthly donation.

we have a 1 in 3 shot at the phrase "Oscar nominee Kneecap" and we need to make this happen

Raw milk, here goes: a vehicle moving people from wellness influencers > conspirituality culture and/or purity culture (only the impure people get sick) > racial purity (here comes the eugenics) > supremacist ideology (we white pure people should rule over the impure) > fascist ideology

I know buying from artists is best, but I've never regretted switching to Apple Music from Spotify. at least it pays more and I'm not contributing to Joe Rogan's enormous salary

the reason liberal DNC superfans post stuff like "elonia" and "dumbfuckistan" is because they are Enormous Bozos

Last 5 concerts I saw: Andre 3000 Anderson.Paak Brittany Howard Kneecap Bikini Kill (next week will be TV On The Radio)

I had some RG Vaqueros for breakfast LFG!!!!

This is a fantastic essay from a great publication.

I am seeing more and more opinions bubbling up about how throwing trans people to the wolves would be a winning strategy for Democrats, and I just want to quickly say: Fuck off with that absolute dog shit.

I was polled in this poll this week! Survey link sent via text.

And shout out to my friend Sherrina and her daughter Carter for always reminding me that kids with allergies should have cool stuff too

Shout out to @prisonculture.bsky.social for inspiring me to get full size candy bars this year and shout out to me for actually remembering to do so this year.
