Some people voted for trump.
Some people voted for Kamala.
Some people voted 3rd party.

But I guarantee you that NOBODY voted for a fucking billionaire to be raiding our Social Security.

What the fuck is THIS bullshit?

Americans have no idea what their president has stirred up in Canada.

The public broadcaster has dedicated 12 consecutive hours (and counting) of live coverage of the tariffs.

My social media is filled with "buy Canadian" tips.

The American anthem is being booed on Hockey Night in Canada.

I really can’t wrap my head around congressional Democrats’ response to the past 12 days of crises. It reeks of pathetic capitulation. Trump is asserting dictatorial powers of absolute control over the entire government and the reaction is “we don’t swing at every pitch”? An appalling abdication.

Today is Retraction Day, when we observe the anniversary of the retraction (Feb. 2, 2010) of the fraudulent paper that purported to show a link between vaccines and autism. 🧪#medsky

If you cannot call it what it is when all in a week: a government removes every mention of a group of people, destroys information about them en masse, bans their discussion in schools, restricts their ability to travel and starts seizing and refusing their official identification, when will you?

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

My fellow Chicagoan Jennifer Schulze (@newsjennifer.bsky.social) takes a sharp stick to the Trump regime and the reprehensible Dr. Phil for the "ICE TV" broadcasts designed to spread immigration propaganda.
Dr. Phil’s 'ICE TV' is a clown show designed to by-pass journalists, help spread Trump propaganda
Our city is literally center stage for a livestreamed internet show about arresting immigrants. Instead of Chicago PD or Chicago Fire, it’s a low rent “Chicago ICE.” Shameful.
