A federal judge says he will order the release of over 600 people who have been detained by ice on bond. If it’s within your means consider donating to the Midwest Immigration Bond Fund. We will need to raise a lot of money to get everyone home. www.mibfc.org

Now also feels like a good time to mention that during WWII women spies would put codes in their knitting (which is essentially a binary system, knit, purl) and cross stitch morse code onto things.
This summer I helped my mom clean out my grandma’s art studio. I ended up leaving with a few of her crochet hooks with the goal of learning how to make a granny square and 5 months later, I finally did. Gotta say, learning to do handwork in this era of mass vomited AI slop feels very, very healing.

We can’t stop fighting, but this morning I’m basking in the knowledge that two out of the three largest cities in the US have socialist mayors. As Kelly says here “we can win.”
There are still a lot of hard times ahead, but remember this moment and what it means: We can win.

They aren't afraid of Mamdani, they are worried about what he would unleash among VOTERS. That those voters would say: "actually, we're not buying this centrist bullshit you've been shoveling for decades, we want something else." That's what's being litigated in these Dem elites are worried essays.

Pritzker’s statements are a performance for liberals who aren’t on the ground trying to disrupt ICE. His latest stunt asking DHS to pause immigration raids bc it’s Halloween is laughable. Anyone who has interacted with ICE knows that traumatizing people, kids included, is their whole fucking deal.

Chicago Mayor Issues Defiant Call For A General Strike
It was an audacious proposal, given that the U.S. has never held a true, nationwide general strike.

Please remember that the disgust people have over Christopher Columbus is not based on some modern, 21st century “woke” ideology, but rather on contemporaneous accounts of atrocities that make many modern genocides appear quaint in comparison.

Below, are the accounts of Bartlomé de las Casas.

Local cops are not on the side of Democratic politicians or under their actual control. People refuse to understand this too even though we've been making this point for decades.

This Sunday, Chicago! Come out to help us raise money for 7 families inside the Gaza Strip. I will be there selling pins, stickers, prints, hand painted and sewn notebooks, bracelets and more.

My reach here is very small so please help me get the word out, especially if you’re in Chicago ❤️

Happening now: at Kedzie and 40th, where Border Patrol agents just opened fire on rapid response this afternoon. A woman CFD says they found after the incident is reported in fair condition.

A growing number of outraged neighbors have gathered across from ICE/CBP agents who have closed Kedzie.

I’ve been sucked into medieval youtube and currently listening to a podcast about medieval dancing plagues. First, there was more than one! Second, they’re probs not from ergot poisoning. Third, I think we’ve reached time in history where we should absolutely bring those back.

Uday & his family are living on the streets in Gaza City where the iof is continuing a ground invasion. They need to get out now but do not have the $ for transportation or a tent. If you have anything you can spare, please help them out. The situation is desperate. Https://www.tinyurl.com/udayfund

New, w/ @mulchy.bsky.social & @djbyrnes1.bsky.social:

ICE shot & killed an immigrant in the Chicago suburbs yesterday.

Then they immediately gave a misleading account of events.

Chicago erupted in chaos and a father who lived here for decades is dead. This is what really happened:
What happened to Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez
Immigration agents shot and killed an unarmed 38-year-old father outside Chicago on Friday—and their initial narrative of events was quickly disproven by videos captured by witnesses.

I know you are seeing an overwhelming number of asks and the need in Gaza is overwhelming. But it’s countless donations some big, some just a few dollars, that have helped Uday and his family survive the last 23 months of hell. chuffed.org/project/uday...
