What D’Angelo said Black Messiah means. It came out at the end of 2014 and it was so needed.

Just witnessed Chicagoans following this undercover ICE vehicle (Black pick-up truck) heading south on Ashland honking their horns incessantly and alerting everyone that ICE was coming.

All charges brought against protesters at Broadview today must be dropped. When cops and agents attack crowds without provocation, they make shit up to justify their attacks (in his case, an attack waged on a cooperative crowd to produce fascist social media content). These charges must be dropped.

I'm appalled but unfortunately unsurprised to hear that ICE is targeting my neighbors in Rogers Park today. Unidentifiable and unaccountable agents are roaming the streets with their faces covered targeting schools and community centers. It needs to end. Abolish ICE.

It is not our job to determine if resistance is hopeless. It is our duty to render it effective, at all possible points, while we are alive. It is the future that will determine if our efforts were victorious, not the present. To act fully in the present means to never face defeat.

Thought of today: America's enemies can't get us from the outside in so they are getting us from the inside out.

Fascism is here. We are not “getting closer” or “in danger of.”

This matters because it frames our discussion: We aren’t trying to prevent it, we’re trying to defeat it. It’s not taking over our institutions, it’s taken them over.

Otherwise, we’re always behind, fighting a past we’ve already lost.

URGENT WARNING: If you know any homeless people in D.C. -- REACH OUT ANY WAY YOU CAN AND COLLECT KEY CONTACT INFO. Create a pipeline for updates. Trump is using the homeless to test out disappearing natural born citizens. RECORD THE EXISTENCE OF THESE PEOPLE BEFORE THEY VANISH.

The bill will strip close to one trillion dollars from federal Medicaid funding across a decade—an attack expected to cause tens of thousands of preventable deaths each year, disproportionately affecting the disabled community.

Disability advocates tell @juliametraux.bsky.social what this means 🧵
"An absolute moral failure": Disability advocates react to Trump's Medicaid cuts
"At the end of the day, this Congress lacks the courage to do the right thing."

I'm 15 minutes into The Four Seasons and it's feeling like Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married? Which is one of his better films.

Months without a word and this is what I post today.

I’ve seen estimates as high as 5+ million for total #handsoff portests today, and just doing a very rough count of the biggest ones, it certain seems like in the millions.

3 dead so far at Krome ICE detention center in Florida. Max capacity was 500, they have over 4,000 and not enough water and food. Reports say they get 1 cup of water per day.

These are already death camps.

I'm 18. The economy enters a once-in-a-century recession. A Republican president is responsible.

I'm 29. There is once-in-a-century pandemic that leads to a once-in-century-recession. A Republican is responsible.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 30, the number is 100%.

Whether in our water, on its bench, or in the White House, the Supreme Court is a big fan of raw sewage.
