I have long believed that we should be WAY more vocal about how police and ICE constantly murder dogs, and I think this is great messaging actually.

The reality is that you can mobilize a whole lot of usually tuned-out Americans around a “someone is being mean to hecking doggos” cause.

“I think the federal basic income program could be a nation-building program.”

We've seen study after study showing universal basic income works -- cheaper, more effective than current income programs. Doesn't disincentivize people from working. Reduces crime. Improves health. UBI now.

Ireland has made permanent its three-year pilot program that gave monthly income payments to thousands of artists. Canadian artists are hoping to use that program's success to build momentum for guara...

Trump claims ICE’s reign of terror in Chicago is targeting the “worst of the worst.”

But out of the 1,000 undocumented immigrants that have swept up, the agency has only cited 10 men with a criminal background.

Don’t believe his lies for a second.

Trump says migrants drive violent crime in Illinois. But ICE can’t find many violent criminals.

Masked ICE agents and other federal forces showed up in Chicago to go after gangsters. Instead, they keep catching people who are just living their lives.

geordi makes a compelling point

a meme of geordi laforge, comparing the following phrases and geordi's expression:

"Do Not Comply In Advance" (disapproving)
- bossy
- already a cliche
- implies permission to comply later

"Fuck You, Make Me" (approving with glowing eyes)
- leads by example
- directs yelling at opposition instead of allies
- easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

The flightradar app is surprisingly soothing. The audio equivalent of putting a name to a face. Attaching flight info to the roaring in the sky helps.

Really feeling how it’s a marathon, not a sprint, this morning.

If you haven’t gotten out there and started directly helping yet, please do. It might be a long time before we’re free from the direct, daily threat of tyranny, and your neighbors need you.

A squirrel is standing inside and peeking over the top rim of a hollowed out pumpkin. The top of the pumpkin can be seen behind. The squirrel is wearing a slouchy black witch hat with orange stripes and holding a squirrel-sized chef knife. The knife is because the squirrel has carved the words ‘MAYBE IT WILL HAPPEN’ in the side of the pumpkin and in the ground in front the word ‘TODAY’ has been spelled with stringy orange pumpkin guts with seeds scattered all around.

It is wild to me that the TV show cast MURDERBOT, an agender ace, the way they did.

It’s winter squash season! I drew this using butternut squash, but this method works for pretty much any winter squash: acorn, autumn frost, delicata,...

The tactics ICE used in LA are not the tactics they used in Chicago.
The tactics they are using in Chicago are evolving because of the work of our rapid responders.
The work matters. We keep iterating.

Gravel Influencer @gravelinfluencer.bsky.social · 2d

This is why the work of community watch groups is so important. It's not just capturing the faces of ICE agents, but also their vehicles. In Massachusetts we are already seeing them adapt and change their tactics in response to the work of community groups.

Schnorkles O'Bork @schnorkles.bsky.social · 2d

One of the things that I think the internal politics of ICE/CBP is probably grappling with and didn't quite get when all this kicked off is that the fact that the surveillance state could be turned back on the secret police in a way that makes it very hard for anything they do to be ignored.

There are a tremendous number of ICE watchers out in Rogers Park this afternoon after some early morning abductions.

People are guarding churches and patrolling alleyways. Ran into Alderperson Hadden. First timers tell us they're primed and ready to use their whistles.

You and the Arlington Heights Bears can say anything you want

and you can be from Chicago and live anywhere

but you should only say you live in Chicago if you actually do
