      Tonight, in Chicago, North Side rapid responders and community members held a vigil. At least ten people were abducted by ICE in Rogers Park alone today. We uplifted the message RESIST ICE in lights. We spoke out, sang together, grieved, and reaffirmed our commitment to defending our neighbors.

      "AI" is IT from A Wrinkle in Time.
"Just give in," the AI pushers say. "We can all be together in this. You don't have to think."
Time to hold onto your inner Meg, friends.

      I’ve said this before and I’ll probably say it again, but every hardcore IRL activist I know makes a very deliberate effort to interject joy into their lives and appreciate little things. I’ve only ever seen this dedication to misery in extremely online meme “activists”.

      Today, I made a donation to support Alaa and her children in Gaza. Alaa is a mother I've been in contact with for some time, and her family is facing immense hardship. Her children are in poor health and urgently need support. If you're able to contribute, it could make a real difference for them.

      This happens to @yousefq.bsky.social again and again - he tries to get aid and is told he and his 2 brothers are "not a family." 🤬 I'm worried they'll be denied food boxes under the 🇺🇸 distribution plan. 
Can anyone help Yousef get food today? gofund.me/d6c908ef
