For Gaza: I have a Nomad esim (Middle East) to donate to someone who can use it and I will top off data when it gets low. Please message me if this could help you or someone you know.

People are spontaneously posting up near any laborers or street vendors they spot. Just saw a rapid responder guarding a man working on a building exterior. Many things are terrible today but lord, this stuff matters.

There are a tremendous number of ICE watchers out in Rogers Park this afternoon after some early morning abductions.

People are guarding churches and patrolling alleyways. Ran into Alderperson Hadden. First timers tell us they're primed and ready to use their whistles.

Reminder that one of the punkest acts of resistance against fascism is putting a mask on in shared air.

It immediately marks you as a brave and safe person for disabled folks. It’s not easy to stick out, yeah.

So imagine how we feel.

It’d be great if you wouldn’t help them by extending the benefit of the doubt, following dubious health advice, treating their side as “reasonable concerns”, and particularly and especially refusing to get vaccinated, wear masks, and clean the air.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Doaa. Doaa is the mother of 3 children Omar, 10, Yasmine, 8 and Youseff, 4 but she primarily started this fundraiser to help her sister Amal who lost a husband and son and is trying to support her children Hiam, 13, Omar, 12 and Jawad, 7.

Greta Thunberg has arrived in Greece following her deportation from Israel,
after the Gaza aid flotilla was intercepted

She said:
“I could talk for a very,very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment.
Trust me, but that is not the story.”

And I think your whistle project has really taken off around the country as it's now very difficult to find in-stock whistles. Well done, Marc!!!

Next time you feel like things are tough, just remember that the winner of fat bear week came in second place twice and then won despite having a broken jaw all summer
32 Chunk voted as Fat Bear Week 2025 winner after 2 years as runner-up
As one of the largest bears that resides along Brooks River at Katmai National Park and Preserve in Alaska, 32 Chunk was estimated to be over 1,200 pounds.

Thank you! 2 questions:
What's your reasoning for printing on both sides rather than just printing some in English & others in Spanish? (I'm wondering if someone would know the other language is on the other side if they weren't looking for it)
Did the whistles come w the little bags you stapled?

When my copy of The Onion arrived yesterday, I laughed so hard at this article. Everyone should buy a subscription.
Front page of newspaper The Onion with a photo animals such as giraffe, bear, and zebra next to ICE agents. Headline reads: Homeland Security Relaxes Species Requirements to Join ICE
