in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

It’s important to have continue to fun and spend time with loved ones. Today friends and I did a witches’ paddle on the North Branch—with some anti-ICE signs of course.

Me dressed as a witch on the dock with my kayak and a sign: “putting a hex on ICE”

Journos need to always challenge the right-wing framing of "antifa" being a specific organisation that can be banned or restricted. Just straight up be like "but that's nonsense, it doesn't exist" every time

not to mention the fucking professional atheist scientists who provide the entire foundation for anti-trans bigotry by saying "science PROVES there are only two sexes!"

May their underpants never be dry again.

I guess some other time we can talk about the reactionary professional atheists who literally built the secular foundation for today’s anti-DEI arguments

"self-deport" was a term created by far-right parties to sanitize the idea of making people so miserable that they have to flee the country. I hate that I am seeing it in otherwise sympathetic news articles.

The assumptions people make that all religions require a belief in the supernatural are, among other things, anti-Semitic. Ppl bring up Judaism as an example & it’s literally a religion that does NOT require belief in god. And if you don’t know that, that’s YOUR ignorance, not a religious person’s.

Atheist proselytizers are the religious proselytizers I’m most likely to come into contact with and they’re just as annoying as all of the other ones I experience

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

Chicago: Avondale! 60618! A neighbor has created a community altar at the Shell station on the south east corner of Belmont and Milwaukee - a memorial to human rights and victims of ICE. I added to it and you should too. Let's make it massive and impossible to miss. Bring your offerings.

A community altar by a Shell gas station on the south east corner of Belmont and Milwaukee Ave. in Chicago. Signs read: "Stop Ice Abductions" and "Stop Terrorizing our Communities. Abolish ICE!" There are also candles, and various offerings, as well as sidewalk chalk.

A detail of altar offerings - dolls, a stuffed frog holding a "Send ICE Home!" sign, and candles - some lit.

A pair of flyers inspired by those used by Chicago contractors who are often undocumented - both insulting ICE in various ways.

Memorial candles and a sign reading "We remember our neighbors, kidnapped by ICE at this gas station on Wednesday, October 8, 2025" hand written in black marker on blue paper.

This sign I made for a 2018 protest march is still relevant today.

Screen grab from a photo in The Atlantic magazine of 1 July 2018, showing photos from the many "Families Belong Together" marches of late June protesting the first Trump administration's policy of tearing immigrant families apart and incarcerating children away from their parents.

In downtown Chicago, a protester (me) holds a sign: At the top in black letters on bright yellow it says "We *are* what we *do*". Then there are side by side cartoon images. On the left in black and white four sad little girls stare at us with large dark eyes, two hugging, the smallest in a t-shirt with a daisy on it, in a black shadowy space with chain link fencing above and behind them. On the right in full color the Statue of Liberty against a clear blue sky looks straight at us sternly as her arms cradle a collection of men, women, children and babies all facing her, some of the children and babies reaching towards her. At the bottom the sign says "Which are we?"

As October begins, we contemplate how the sea wind had its way with this now-fungal saint.

scary sea-weathered saint on the church near Hartlepool headland (body of saint is heavily eroded down to a veined or boxwork-like underlying structure of the stone, which looks like weird branching fungus).

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.
