In light of immigration enforcement operations in the West Chicago area, Audrey Luhmann got together with a team of rapid responders to deliver candy to two area apartment complexes that she said were recently hit by immigration raids.

And that’s how reverse trick-or-treating was born.
Reverse trick-or-treating comes to West Chicago amid the growing presence of immigration enforcement
Audrey Luhmann collected about $900 worth of candy in 72 hours to deliver to children around the Timber Lake and Main Park apartments Friday evening.

If you’ve never been to a protest like “No Kings” and worry it will be a downer or a bore, I’m here to tell you it’s fun and inspiring. It will make you feel better about people, and we need that after seeing all those MAGA thugs and liars on the news. You are not alone. Get your ass out there!
No Kings
As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

Would recommend listening to Gillibrand on Brian Lehrer - she starts from the premise that Mamdani endorsed the slogan, then over-corrects and gets VERY HEATED when she said he should denounce and never use it.

Awful staff work. Just give her the fuckin' clip and listen!

I feel like I'm losing my mind. Here is the transcript of what Zohran Mamdani actually said about the phrase "globalize the intifada." This is his "refusal to disavow it." This is what has people terrified. Just fucking read it.

Source: podscripts.co/podcasts/the...
Q: So I wonder what you think about that, about the phrase “globalize the intifada” and what we've seen as some anti-semitism coming from the left-wing protesters. A: The first thing as you were saying is anti-semitism is a real issue in our city and it's one that can be captured in statistics, the ones that you're citing. It's also one that you will feel in conversations you have with Jewish New Yorkers across the city. And I remember one conversation I had with a friend of mine after the horrific war crime of October 7th. He was telling me that he went for Shabbat services at his temple and he was facing forward when he heard the door open. And he turned back with a chill going up his spine because he didn't know who was coming in. And that's more than a year ago. And then just a few weeks ago, I had a conversation with a Jewish man in Williamsburg who told me that the same door he would keep unlocked for decades is one that he now locks out of a fear of what could happen in his own neighborhood. And I think that this is something that has to be the focus of the next mayoral administration, is not just talking about it, but tackling it. And these are the conversations that have informed our commitment around increasing funding for anti-hate crime programming by 800% in our Department of Community Safety. To the question of language that's being used. I am someone who I would say am less comfortable with the idea of banning the use of certain words and that I think it is more evocative of a Trump style approach to how to lead a country. And- Q: Does that just make you uncomfortable? Like the phrase globalizing intifada. And like the phrase from the river to the sea, does that make you uncomfortable? Or do you think- A: Okay, those are different. Those are super different. Q: They're not really. A: Those are like different genres. Q: I'm sorry, I'm asking so wrong. Then they're not really different to me. And to some people they are not different. A: I know people for whom those things mean very different things. And to me, ultimately, what I hear in so many is a desperate desire for equality and equal rights in standing up for Palestinian human rights. And I think what's difficult also is that the very word has been used by the Holocaust Museum when translating the Warsaw ghetto uprising into Arabic because it's a word that means struggle. And as a Muslim man who grew up post-911, I'm all too familiar in the way in which Arabic words can be twisted, can be distorted, can be used to justify any kind of meaning. And I think that's where it leaves me with a sense that what we need to do is focus on keeping Jewish New Yorkers safe. And the question of the permissibility of language is something that I haven't ventured.

laura loomer was mentioned so i have to share this, i do not make the rules
2018 tweet from professional Jigsaw impersonator @LauraLoomer: Was the @FBI surveilling the official Minnesota GOP watch party last night? Multiple attendees reported that their cell reception was jammed, & one attendee said a WiFi network called "FBI surveillance van" popped up on his phone. Was there a threat? What is the FBI hiding?

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.

The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

My latest: "Black American Culture Trumps MAGA"

Kendrick Lamar's masterful Super Bowl Halftime Show reminds us that the resistance to white supremacy can be joyful, proud, loud, unapologetic, and super Black.

Once any space becomes less than 40% male, (straight) men tend to cede it entirely while shouting about how it “went woke”. Fascinating read:
Why aren't we talking about the real reason male college enrollment is dropping?
We would rather talk about literally everything else.

I’ve said it before and I’m sure I’ll say it a thousand times more: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian. — Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.
