I'm hoping to avoid bots. I think I have a good starting point to talk to some people.

HAPPY INDIGENOUS PEOPLES DAY (aka fuck Columbus day 😝) For me making my beadwork, and for yall buying/wearing beadwork is a great way to say fuck Columbus, fuck colonizer assholes, fuck fascism.

This week in 1988: 1,000+ ACT UP demonstrators shut down the FDA headquarters, demanding (and eventually winning) action on developing HIV/AIDS treatments. ACT UP's militant and creative actions always included powerful visual artwork, and paved the way for movements in the decades to come.

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

hello from outside the ice detention center in broadview, illinois. i’m at the corner of 25th and harvard, where a small (for now) crowd is gathering to protest the masked federal agents abducting people throughout chicagoland. state and local police have already made a handful of arrests today.

Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do. In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap. Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.

On the off-chance this isn't bait: The issue is your definition of lesbian. It has never just meant Women Loving Women. Look at the legacy of butches, of daddy culture, of masculine gender expression among dykes. It is a rejection of patriarchal gender norms and romantic expectations, not just WLW.

Since it's now news within our immediate circles, I can share: my partner got abruptly fired from his job (we had no idea it was coming; his boss chose to circumvent the normal steps you're supposed to go through to fire him while we were in Hawai‘i).

hi #PortfolioDay - available to make otherworldly work from 2025. TTRPGs, board games, more vinyl covers and concept + visdev stuff for games/film/tv would be cool!

Look at what we could have. look at what our tax dollars could pay for. Instead we’re paying to have ICE pepper spray directly into the air hole of a guy in an inflatable frog costume

If Trump's deportation machine were an army, it would be the 13th largest on earth, ahead of Poland, Canada, Iran. The funding increase kicked in Oct 1, as federal agents unleash violence on the Chicago area, raiding communities and brutalizing protesters. By me & Lindsay Koshgarian, 📷 Steel Brooks.

Reminder that if you are interacting with law enforcement in Illinois, this IS a stop and ID state. Also, aside from identifying yourself and asking if you're free to leave, the ONLY thing you should say to law enforcement, state or federal, is:

Logan Square neighborhood, Chicago. Man wearing a balaclava in a white, unmarked vehicle, pulls the pin on a tear gas canister and tosses it in the road. "Just trying to grab some lunch and these fucking losers showed up. FUCK ICE!" source: www.reddit.com/r/LoganSquar...

the cook county sheriff’s office and illinois state police announce they’re setting up a “temporary unified command” to “coordinate public safety efforts” outside the broadview ice detention center. this includes “designated areas” for protest along the sidewalk “to allow emergency vehicle access.”

Pick one or two lanes and keep at it. You are one person and cannot do everything or take 10 actions a day.
