I’m so looking forward to getting the three copies I ordered; one for myself and the others for two activist friends.

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

It's done! There's just a big delay from finishing a book to it winding up on shelves, unfortunately. I wish people could have it today. It's needed.

If the book has been ordered for your library, that's a big help!

“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

Broadview police chief Mills and ISP were examining some documents last night before targeting one protester in a small, completely non-disruptive crowd for a bag search. Looks like they're brushing up on ~policy~

Can repeat enough: Chicago is the rehearsal for what's ahead (and yes, is also already underway) in other cities — AND for the campaign of noncooperation & opposition that must be unleashed. We must study & practice & prepare.

I repeat: we love you, Chicago.

I know not everyone is who they thought they would be under a fascist, authoritarian regime. That's okay. But it's time to do more than react and post about it. It's time to get organized—including mapping or creating lines of support and defense in your community.

"There just isn’t enough time. There’s only what we manage to make of it—what we build, what we protect, what we remember to carry to the car. The gas mask. The snacks. The question we forgot to ask. The name of the person taken." My latest.

They're talking about killing leftist activists. They're talking about murdering people organizing in defense of immigrant communities, doing mutual aid work, and protesting their violence. They are talking about murdering people like me and my friends. We must do more than acknowledge it's fascism.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

Alaa and her daughters have lived to see a ceasefire, but they are still in dire need of assistance. They have only managed to navigate displacement, genocidal violence, and her daughter's deteriorating health with the help of donations. Let's help them continue to endure.

Your help are an investment in rebuild a woman and an architect

My name is Alaa, and I hold a Master’s degree in Architecture.
