Right now, I am taking a moment to collect myself before heading to an organizing meeting, but I wanted to stop in here and send some love to everyone impacted by the ongoing federal violence in our city, and everyone who is doing what they can to stop it and to keep our people safe.

As y'all have probably heard, there has been a lot of ICE activity on the North Side of Chicago today. At least four people were kidnapped by ICE in the Rogers Park neighborhood. Folks mobilized throughout the day to do ICE Watch and Rapid Response work.

I just want to have my needs fucking met
I don't want to keep begging!
I used to have a job and a life and a small amount of disposable income!
I used to be able to help people!
And now I'm in bed most of my days! With a heart that comes this short of crapping out!
FUCK EVERYTHING

The fact that still folks don’t get that the debasement of non whites is their fallback is making me aggy

Left of center folks think the Republicans commitment to racism is as flimsy as their commitment to racial justice

And it’s not

Well… my bank has shutdown my checking account because I was $-1,144 and I couldn’t cover it. I want to cry.

If anyone can help, I need it and I’d be so grateful.

Hi everyone.

As yall know, I went through a traumatic rape in July. My rapist lives 2 streets over and though I have a PFA, I still feel unsafe.

Please donate if you can to help me move.

This is pure racism.

And I think this part of my ND because I find analysis of it offensive

They hate that his name is Benito Cortez .

And it’s not always rage cycle

It’s about camping il their base to feel entitled and abusive to anyone similarly named

Trump slurs words, doesn't know things he should clearly know; has blotches on his hands' is overweight; has yearly annual checkup twice in a year—media doesn't bat an eye.

Biden, well, that's a different story where the knives come out & books are written.

It’s CP.

It’s deepfakes.

It’s polluting black and other minority neighbourhoods.

It’s slave labour digital sweatshops.

It’s killing the planet and killing our critical thinking skills.

AI has scientific uses but the slop of genAI IS NOT IT.

Stop using genAI.

Please.

I know you're all probably sick of me banging on about generative AI, but I think it's really important to make the people that still use it understand that, when you do continue to use those apps, you're also helping keep all the CP made through them up and running.

You cool with that?

If you rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, then bomb fishing boats in the Caribbean, and shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper bullet, you should automatically be barred from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for the rest of your life.

Gaza erupted in celebration as a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas was reached on Thursday. But while there has been an outpouring of joy over the prospect of an end to the genocide, many are skeptical that it’s truly over.

They need food. All they've had to eat for the last several days is whatever $15 they got last night could scrape up. $155 to go week's groceries. At least $40 for a full day's meals today. 4 ppl $10 each is good. 16 ppl $10 each is better.

Pls RS/QS. Pls do what you can. #HelpFolksLive2025

Josh 💛⚪💜♠️ @blackice397.bsky.social · 1h

Haven't received anything today! Still at $15/$170!

Again, can 4 people spare $10 each so I can eat today? 💕💸

Josh 💛⚪💜♠️ @blackice397.bsky.social · 3d

Well, the goal for the bill never got cleared, but I'm just deciding to focus on groceries for the week. Goal of $170, any help is greatly appreciated. 💸💕

Argentina takes a chainsaw to their own government and we have to bail them out. Brazil protects their democracy by prosecuting coup plotters and we hit them with extortionate “corruption” tariffs👍

it sometimes feels like people think the outcome of all of this is going to be, like, trump voters going on television and begging for forgiveness. that’s not what happens, and that won’t happen for several reasons.

for all the talk about how voters need to touch the stove, like, we are touching the stove. this [waves arms wildly] is what touching the stove looks like. nothing happens on a twitter timescale.
