At my regularly scheduled Ketamine therapy. Reminder: if you or a loved one have mental health issues, get help and help others. ❤️
Small cozy looking room in a Ketamine therapy place. There’s some medical devices and exam gloves on a table as well.

Low-intensity warfare is uncanny. We continue to go to work, bring kids to school, shop for groceries, etc. But our everyday routines are punctuated by random episodes of spectacular violence; war as a way of life.
Scenes From the Occupation
As the feds cracked down on immigration in Chicago this fall, filmmaker Carlos Javier Ortiz’s camera was rolling. These stills and footage show a city in crisis — and a city defiant.

ICE is in Edgewater. Stay safe if you’re vulnerable on the far North Side. They’ve already been run off with whistles at least once today. Patrolling matters. That’s what I’m doing.

Buy out the street vendors, fam.

What's up with Michigan?
-An almost continental rift billions of years ago left us a basin of fertile soil.
-By agreement w the state Meijer (our better Walmart) buys local produce and uses its private fleet to move it.
-Proximity to Canada=first dibs.
-Strong farmer's markets culture

We just filed a motion to enjoin these suspicionless stops.

In it, we explain how they’re not happening the way Justice Kavanaugh described.
Immigration officers often have no idea who is on the construction sites they raid. Leo Decl. < 99. Yet DHS policy allows them to preemptively detain all workers who fit the DHS profile without any prior knowledge of their identity, without asking any questions, and without observing any suspicious conduct by the individual workers they seize. Id.; see also, e.g., Windham Decl. $ 33 (officers arrested construction worker in D.C., about whom they had no prior knowledge and whom they did not question, despite his valid Temporary Protected Status), $ 34 (officers arrested construction business owner in D.C., about whom they had no prior knowledge and whom they did not question, despite his Employment Authorization, Social Security Number, and open asylum application). Armed with this policy, officers invade construction sites and round up all Latino workers, often placing them in handcuffs or zip-ties immediately. (citing reports of recent business raid during which children and citizens were zip-tied). Non-Latino workers are left alone. These are not Terry stops-they are not brief and there is no inquiry. Leo was held for about 90 minutes across two stops at which officers did not ask questions about Leo's status and nothing he said could have set him free. Leo Decl. 19 56, 96. Other citizens and lawful residents have been detained for hours or days. One explanation for why these raids do not function like Terry stops is that DHS believes it can arrest people based on the "reasonable suspicion" it thinks attaches to someone's ethnicity and occupation. As Chief Agent Bovino recently explained: "We need reasonable suspicion to make an immigration arrest. You notice I did not say probable cause, nor did I say I need a warrant." Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin gave a similar comment in response to this lawsuit: "DHS law enforcement uses 'reasonable suspicion' to make arrests."

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.”

It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Gerrymandering is awful and we should not be doing it. But until that's law, you gotta be playing the game by the same set of rules as everyone else.

Democrats should gerrymander the hell out of their states and also pass federal laws that keep them from doing so.

I've had this vague notion that search is getting worse every year but this really clinches it for me. I'm sorry but this is like one of the most common vaudeville punchlines out there and I refuse to believe it's been indexed 0 times.

I can certainly find it when I use site-specific search.

There are already food banks/depositories in every district & a ton of Democrats have been doing events to support them, but if no one besides a staffer posts about it, no one knows about it.

Even with a massive support, it's not replacing $100 billion in SNAP. We need a functional government!

I was just strolling along Milwaukee Avenue and a couple middle schoolers handed me a whistle and information about how to resist ICE in Chicago.

If they are doing this now, imagine how this generation will turn out as they mature….

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.
