This weekend, three men in Evanston hugged their families goodbye to look for work at Home Depot but were attacked by ICE before they could return home.

Two were abducted, one is petrified of leaving the home.

Last Sunday, @demiforillinois.bsky.social, @raygunsite.com and I hosted a No Kings protest sign-making party with the best problem:

So many people showed up, we ran out of table space.

This is what community care looks like.

interesting way to characterize the view “everyone in the world deserves access to healthcare” but go off

Abughazaleh garnered national attention earlier this year for questioning why it's controversial that illegal immigrants should have access to taxpayer-funded healthcare.

It’s deeply encouraging to see footage of hostages reuniting with their families and to see Israeli forces withdrawing from Gaza.

There are obviously many more steps to achieving a lasting peace but today’s developments should give us all a profound sense of hope.

The nice thing about 3d printing is you can also add the ICIRR number to the whistles.

I’m horrified to hear that two people were kidnapped by ICE in Evanston this morning.

There’s a protest at Home Depot shortly. We’ll be delivering water and supplies to protesters — I hope you’ll join us in standing with our community.

I made a horrible decision last night and told chat that I’d do a 24-hr livestream if we raise $100k with these streams by the 19th.

So if that’s an incentive to tune in… there you go.

Joe McKirdy @joemckirdy.bsky.social · 5d

. @katmabu.bsky.social
promises to do a 24 hr livestream if her campaign reaches $100k in donations. If you want an unapologetically pro-democracy Congress, please consider donating. If you want to see her stream for 24 hours, please donate to the stream specific url.
