PLEASE vote in local elections–mayors (of small towns, even), board members, etc. They have a direct effect on your life AND are currently the last line of defense against destructive federal policies. In many places so few people vote for city council etc. that your 1 vote can change the result

Practically every day we encounter someone who still has no idea ICE shot and killed someone in Chicago already. This happened before many people tuned in (and many have already tuned out again).
Candles, candy and colorful flowers adorned the ofrenda, or altar, that a couple of dozen people helped build Saturday to honor Silverio Villegas González, the man shot and killed by an ICE agent in northwest suburban Franklin Park nearly two months ago.

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style.
Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.

Immigrant families are essential to our communities. The Defending Our Neighbors Fund helps ensure they have fair access to legal support and are not facing a complex and punishing immigration system on their own.

Yesterday was energizing! Let's keep our activism going
A good way to keep your protest high going is to make a donation today to a group that's been doing the work. An abortion fund, a group that feeds the unhoused, a group that assists immigrants...Lots of fascism fighters out there stay needing your money.

CALL TO ACTION: Follow Livable Cville's important 🧵for actions you can take. Speak up about this cruelty.
ACTION ALERT: Tell city council to reject the ordinance to ban camping on city property!
On Tuesday, September 2nd (tomorrow!), City Council will be considering an ordinance that would make it illegal to sleep on city property or to leave personal property unattended on city land. 🧵

We strongly object to the proposed ban on camping on public property in the city.
This inhumane policy was condoned by the current right wing Supreme Court in the Grant’s Pass decision, which Chief Kochis sites in his justification for the policy.
Homelessness is solved by housing, not policing.

The fact that the President of the United States posts a fake video of a kneeling Barack Obama being handcuffed and we’re supposed to pretend it’s perfectly normal, everyday stuff shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.
