Oh damn

ICE targeted an apartment building near my home. Masked agents in unmarked cars. I've said this before. Democratic Governors & Mayors need to order their local police depts to arrest any & all unidentified & masked alleged ICE agents.

This anonymous denial of due process is deadly.

UPDATE — Multiple witness videos today show an older white federal agent straddling a young Black man on the ground outside of a Walgreens on Chicago’s Southeast Side.

This is a developing story.

“I am grateful for your thoughts and prayers during these very difficult times, it has been a very rough and sad year [..] I ask that you please continue to keep me in your thoughts as it will not be easy, but one thing that both my parents thought me was to be strong, and I intend to do just that.”

“We are taking these actions to defend our neighbors, the sanctity of our values, and the character of Chicagoland. This is a place where immigrants are loved, needed, and appreciated, and we will not give up members of our beloved communities without a fight.” - @mskellymhayes.bsky.social

Abolish ICE. Abolish the police.

The headline here is citing a super weird McInnes quote (were Proud Boys ever known for their…apologizing?), but this tidbit seems pretty noteworthy.

D’Angelo has spoken against his sex icon image. He was pushed into that by the label and hated when he was on tour and ladies were treating him like a stripper. I hope in his passing we can celebrate his incredible musicality and dedication to the craft. 🌚

NEW — For the second time in less than a week, militarized federal agents deployed tear gas in a Chicago residential area.

Members of the media, Chicago police officers on the scene for crowd control, and the broader nearby community were also exposed to the tear gas.

I’d been thinking for a while that it seems like a startling number of rappers have died in their mid-40s to mid-50s from natural causes but it didn’t really feel like an epidemic until I saw this list. 😦

JUST GONNA ASSUME IM NOT ACTUALLY GOING TO BE SHOCKED

Unfortunately I don’t find your anti communism funny when anti capitalism has been designated as a terrorist activity. Sorry!

We’re freezing from the cold, with no shelter and no food 😭
I beg you to share my pinned post here👇
@mummarah.bsky.social

I need to reach as many people as possible to help us 🙏

I need ppl to understand that no matter how well meaning someone running as a democrat is, when they are absorbed and become somewhat dependent on the party, they will make concessions and use language they provide etc

It’s like how capitalists, no matter how well meaning, need to increase profit

Developing: per photographer Matthew Kaplan and others on scene, neighbors are currently facing dozens of Border Patrol agents on the east side. Feds have been all over the area, some kidnappings confirmed. Saw one gas canister deployed on FB live earlier.

The military has now killed 27 people as if they were enemy soldiers in a war zone and not criminal suspects. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/u...

Following the NSPM-7 directive for feds to focus on anti-ICE terrorism, the FBI and Homeland produced an intel bulletin linking anti-ICE protests to terrorism.

What Pan-Africanism Can Teach Us Now

A biography of Ghanaian leader Kwame Nkrumah casts the post-WWII era as a Black liberation epic rather than a psychodrama between Moscow and Washington.

NEW: After years of legislative debate, today marks the first time the state of Montana - home to 12 tribes and 7 reservations - has officially observed Indigenous Peoples' Day as a legal holiday.

Universities considered “the best” (and many others) have transformed themselves into great factories of unlearning, cathedrals to ignorance. This was already the case, to be sure, but Palestine forced the hands of the trustees & donors who don’t want their money undermining their social position.
