Took a break from recuperating in bed to talk to Kickstarter workers who are currently on strike. Before I left, I asked for them to share cat pics with me and they have delivered. Cuba is wonderful.

Kat Abughazaleh: ICE lies. That's kind of their thing.

no stream tonight, I’m a lil bit sick :( here’s a Heater and I’ll see y’all on Thursday

Get it now?

Today marks the two-year anniversary of the horrific October 7 attack. As we mourn the 1,218 lives lost that day, let us also keep alive the dream of a lasting peace and a better future for all. Ceasefire now. Every hostage must come home. And a safer world for everyone.

Trump’s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Let’s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.

Kat Abughazaleh is taking on ICE—and running for Congress www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

KIYAC — our campaign’s Youth Advisory Council — organized a coat drive and car wash this weekend. We now have more than 80 coats on our mutual aid shelves in the campaign office! But we need your help to make sure we’re prepared to help the community this winter. Here’s what we need:

We can’t out-Republican Republicans, nor should we want to. Democrats need to say what they believe — and actually believe in something. @mehdirhasan.bsky.social

S'cute!!!!

Producer Asha here to say Kat’s live and you should all stop by and say hi!!!! 😋twitch.tv/katabughazaleh

This is your sign to see One Battle After Another.

I said what I said: Kristi Noem should be tried at The Hague for crimes against humanity.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

KIYAC — the Kat for Illinois Youth Advisory Council — is putting on its first campaign event! Come get a free car wash, drop off your winter clothes, and pick up a yard sign at Double Clutch Brewing Company in Evanston til 10:30!

Kat Abughazaleh, radical proponent of the Geneva Convention

wow I wonder why my entire body was in the air in the first place

I said what I said.

Abughazaleh: I think Kristi Noem should be tried at The Hague. And if the response from ICE to people exercising their first amendment right is to drive vehicles through them, they should not be an agency in the US.

IL Congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh: "I think Kristi Noem should have consequences. I think she should be tried at The Hague."

Federal agents are overtly abusing their power to try to intimidate advocates and elected officials. We need ICE out of Illinois immediately and justice for people like Ald. Jessie Fuentes who are defending their communities. blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/03/f...

I am just so fucking proud of her.

Let us in. Hold ICE accountable. Tear down the fence. This is what we are demanding from the Broadview ICE facility, and nothing less. Our leaders can decide whether they stand with the people or with ICE. There is no middle ground.

Join us Kristi Noem! 9AM Press Conference at 1930 Beach St

Stream going live in 10 min come hang 💕 YouTube: youtube.com/@katmabu Twitch: twitch.tv/katabughazaleh

But we have to keep the pressure up! If you live in Illinois, PLEASE contact your leaders and ask them to stand with the people instead of ICE. Here’s a template: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Yesterday, we asked Illinois residents to contact their elected officials to ask them to stand up to ICE and join us for a press conference at Broadview this Friday morning. Guess what? It’s working. An alderperson just called me to let me know a constituent emailed her and she will be attending.

Join us on October 3rd We’re holding a live AMA with Congressional Candidate Kat Abughazaleh on r/50501. It’s a chance to hear directly from someone running for office without the usual filters. Come with your honest questions, thoughts, and concerns. Now’s the time to ask! @katmabu.bsky.social

ICE agents have been abducting our neighbors, brutalizing protesters, and operating with impunity. Tomorrow I will be speaking alongside other local leaders at 1930 Beach St in Broadview, IL. Tell your elected officials to take a stand alongside us.

My god. “Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”

WHAT YOU FAIL TO SEE MR POPE

In my @teenvogue.com debut, I spoke with congressional candidate @katmabu.bsky.social about the incident involving her and an ICE agent at the Broadview ICE facility earlier this month, where protests against the Trump administration's aggressive immigration policies are ongoing daily.

fuck ice airing commercials during dynamite, let em know: help.hbomax.com/us/Feedback/ tbsnetwork.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/req...

G’mar chatima tova to everyone observing Yom Kippur. From Uptown to Crystal Lake to far beyond the bounds of the Ninth District, countless people are solemnly reflecting on the previous year and looking forward to the coming one. I join all of you in wishing for a better, more conciliatory world.

If you live in Illinois, we need your help. This will take less than five minutes and will truly pressure your local elected officials to stand with the people rather than ICE.

Deeply disappointed to hear that the Israeli Navy illegally stopped the Global Sumud Flotilla 75 miles off the coast of Gaza. This was a non-violent mission to break the IDF’s horrifying siege and deliver food and medicine to those who need it most.

Chicago isn’t a “warzone”… but the Broadview ICE facility is. That’s why it’s time to say enough is enough. But to do that, we need our leaders. And your help:

Donald Trump shut down the government because he doesn't want you to have healthcare. But this isn’t just on him. Democrats MUST use their leverage to protect our rights, but it can’t end there. Schumer and Jeffries can’t just go on TV or write letters, they need clear demands. We need action now.

totally normal human behavior

Another violent attack by an ICE officer on a civilian at 26 Federal Plaza—this time on a journalist, who had to be carried out on stretcher. Another attack on the First Amendment, our neighbors, and our democracy.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance However, they are weaker than they look…

If you know me, you’ll know that I HATE asking for money. It is my absolute least favorite part of campaigning. You also know that I hate scammy fundraising requests and have avoided spamming. So I’m not even gonna ask, but here’s the link if you’re so inclined: secure.actblue.com/donate/abu-b...
