Anyone who sees Bovino in Rogers Park, let us know. We’re doing ICE watch. Whistles out. Be on alert. Help protect our community.

Disappointed to see this. 160 union workers are fighting for a fair contract at Individualized Shirts, a US factory that makes high-end men's button-ups. The managers there have rejected the union's request for fair wages and health insurance. The union is asking for support 🧵

No - US govt officials have an obligation to follow all court orders and to appeal (rather than simply disobey) those orders if they disagree. That's what the rule of law is - and Noem's cagey response is precisely why the rule of law is in danger in the US now.

No idea why an Afghan refugee shot National Guard soldiers within walking distance of the White House, but this new USCIS directive was revealed on Monday. Worth noting.

Carney: We know that this decades-long process of our ever-closer economic relationship between Canada and the US has ended. And as a consequence of that, many of our strengths have become our vulnerabilities, particularly in those industries that are most tightly integrated with the US….

A #friendsgiving message from Alden Nowlan

"The US government will not be commemorating World AIDS day this year". Silence = Death There are 1.1 million people living with HIV in the United States, 40 million globally

I received the reader reports back for my book manuscript. Thank you (you know who you are) for the most generous, supportive, & helpful comments! I guess this book thing is happening! Look for Doctoring the West: Women Physicians and the Politics and Practice of Medicine sometime next year!

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

I remember a time (not too long ago) that we had the collective moral decency to agree, that if a politician spoke this way to a female reporter, that would be the end of their political career.

Alice was the first person to ever encourage my creative writing. She was a thoughtful editor and a beloved mentor. I learned so much about activism just by watching her move through the world. May her memory be a blessing to us all.

Alice Wong helped me accept my disabilities. She taught me there’s no social justice without disability justice. She encouraged me to start The Disabled Ginger and was a friend & mentor. She won’t be forgotten. Don’t let the bastards grind you down: www.disabledginger.com/p/thank-you-...

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

Alice Wong was one of the most effective people challenging the Whiteness of disability communities and its many flaws, but who believed fiercely in us as a community, in disabled people as oracles. Alice brought so much to so many of us, it’s hard to measure the kind of gratitude I have for that.

Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness. I'll be interviewed along with two families from There Is No Place for Us. It would mean a lot if you'd watch and help spread the word.

"It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 members of the United States Senate over $1,000,000 a piece and we are robbing people of their food assistance and healthcare to pay for it. How is this even on the floor!?" Rep. AOC

PA FOLKS LOOK OUTSIDE !! Always feel so blessed to see a celestial event 🌌

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work." The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting. And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

Americans are so oppressed & manipulated that the majority actually BELIEVE that being taken care by our government is “a handout”. WRONG. It’s OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK FOR US. Basic care is labeled “socialism” as a way to SCARE & REPEL people. WRONG. It’s just “a government by & for the people”.

Transgender people have rights protected by the Constitution and the federal government's attempt to disgrace them is disgraceful. We will continue to use every tool we have to protect everyone in the Commonwealth, including our trans community.

Lawsuit challenges pregnant parking permits in Florida https://www.newsbeep.com/us-fl/35129/ TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Disability-rights advocates are challenging a new state law allowing pregnant women to use parking spaces…

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

Highland cattle are famous for their ability to "disco nap". Normally these brief, efficient sleeps will last between three and twenty minutes, deploying a variety of objects as pillows, including moorland boulders, cars or any particularly large dog or sheep who happens to be nearby.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

Struggling to imagine the chutzpah it takes to say that someone "doesn't understand New York culture" because they're an immigrant.

Bezos removed books from Amazon on Ghislane Maxwell's trial and Kevin Spacey's trial. Inner City Press is a nonprofit in NYC. They do fantastic work. Fuck Bezos. @innercitypress.bsky.social

This is the Canada ad Trump lost his mind over. He’s now cutting off trade with Canada because he’s scared it could mess with the Supreme Court case over his “reciprocal” tariffs.

Pentagon leadership just told officials, including the Joint Chiefs chair, they now need permission before speaking to Congress. The memo dropped the same day reporters walked out over new press restrictions. Checks and balances aren’t checking and balancing.

Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.   During today’s pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.

BREAKING: A court ordered the Department of Defense to stop censoring educational materials discussing race and gender in schools on military bases. Books removed from the schools must be returned to the shelves immediately.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

Nobody’s Girl by Virginia Roberts Giuffre review – a devastating exposé of power, corruption and abuse www.theguardian.com/books/2025/o...

Still trying to figure out how sending yet another $20 BILLION to Trump’s wannabe dictator friend, Javier Milei, the president of Argentina, will help American farmers.

Ha ha ha they're like authoritarians www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

The end of federal enforcement of special ed laws. Some states - including MN - will likely be ok. But a lot of disabled kids in a lot of states are going to lose the education that federal law and decades of jurisprudence say they are owed.

Or Ebola experts, apparently.

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois. We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

A 15 year old boy with autism went missing earlier this week He was selling fruit with his family in Springbranch when he disappeared They filed a missing person’s report & begged the public to help find him Turns out he was in a Houston ICE detention facility They kidnapped a disabled child!

With SCOTUS set to legalize conversion therapy, I think it's important for states to get around this decision by implementing new legislation applying private rights of action to practitioners of conversion therapy by their victims with large damages and long statutes of limitations.

If ICE agents are willing to shoot a US citizen in broad daylight, as they did with Marimar Martinez in Chicago, imagine what they’re doing to undocumented immigrants. They shot her in front of witnesses & with body cams turned on The horrors facing those disappeared to camps are sure to be worse

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days. Mike Johnson voted “no” on that. They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then

The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries. He said this out loud.

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

Stephanie and Najia started "Deafies for Zohran" to make this movement accessible to their community. They even created a signature hand sign for “Zohran.” Sign up for a shift and wave 👋🏻 the next time you’re canvassing in Jackson Heights!

For those following along at home, we've now reached the "DOJ is losing unopposed motions at the DC Circuit" level.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.
