Keep going. Be meaner. Aim whatever lizard-brain impulse you have towards cruelty and violence in this direction.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

If you haven't read Hiding in Plain Sight, you probably aren't aware of how unoriginal your trump-Epstein-Russia-Israel "hot take" is.

So yeah, you should read it

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

sums it up. headlines on crowd sizes and the feeling that maybe something happens (somewhere else) aren’t action, and getting a bunch of people to show up to a party for nothing isn’t organizing.

find your people and build something real.

We’re about to enter our LAST WEEK of our livestream fundraising experiment.

I wanted to prove that campaign fundraising can be fun and transparent instead of being reliant on rich people.

ICYMI, here’s how it’s been going:

ICE continues to assault us.

We are peacefully protesting. They are kidnapping and hurting us.

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.

Do it.

Search your name.

Take their money.

It’s yours anyway.
Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

I don't have money, and I don't live in Illinois, but if you:

1. Follow my BlueSky.
2. Live in or love Illinois.
3. View this vid & like it.
4. Actually have money.

Please support Kat Abughazaleh. Don't tell her I sent you. She doesn't know who I am. Share & enjoy!
Massive amounts of money get wasted in politics and many people don't even know what happens to their money after donating.

So here's how I've spent my campaign's resources over the last three months:
