I figured out how to share my zine, Love Letter to Federal Employees! It was written in the spring so things have evolved. Many things are still true even though the numbers and stats have changed. It is formatted to print double sided, fold & assemble.

1/ I’d like to share what’s happened since Sept. 30, the night of the most dramatic raid of the Trump administration’s Operation Midway Blitz in Chicago. Under the cover of darkness, 37 immigrants were taken from an apartment complex …🧵

This is not the first time we've seen federal agents direct chemical agents indiscriminately at members of the public in Chicago. Not at people attacking them or even protestors, just people going on with their day.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

Her husband told her that detainees at Broadview had to get up at 5am to get in line for one bathroom. He often peed himself. One time he had to wait until 2pm to use the bathroom. You could only use the bathroom once a day. He said the agents would beat you if you used the bathroom on yourself.

I am so glad Councilor Avalos and her cat are physically fine. I'm just utterly horrified by this and hope they can find whoever is responsible.
Thank you to everyone who has reached out with concern. Late last night, I woke up to my car, car port, and home engulfed in flames. I'm grateful for the quick response from Portland firefighters who prevented the fire from spreading even further.

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

Political violence
I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

As others have pointed out, the idea that we can control their behavior by modeling respectability (cooperating with the compulsory grief around Kirk, for example, and not saying truthful/angry things about him) is akin to an abused person's belief that they can control the abuse by being perfect.

I abhor violence, even as I was targeted with violent threats. Turning Point USA has a professors watchlist: it has been used to harass hundreds of academics, many women, people of color and LGBTQ people. 3/

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

“How does the computer know something happened if no one tells the computer about it” is the easy-reader way to explain why we still need human reporters and data-collectors

And I also find it genuinely alarming that even some people on this website don’t seem to grasp this
I firmly believe that if you’d said to someone in 2015 that in 10 years, “a lot of people will believe there’s no need for human field reporters because they think that entirely online-based AI chat bots can replace them”, they’d have called you insane.

Please consider supporting DC33 worker, Tyree Ford.
Two striking DC33 workers, one of whom is pregnant, were the victims of a hit-and-run last week when a drunk driver drove into their picket line.

Tyree Ford, a sanitation worker and father of four, sustained serious injuries and is still in critical condition.

All this energy, deadly pollution, and respiratory illness/death just to power a "self" proclaimed nazi chatbot. The elected officials that gave carte blanche to elon with no oversight or regulations should be held criminally responsible along with musk.
I knew it was bad, but I will humbly and shamefully admit not knowing it was this bad
