A nice obituary for Alice, who was going to be recognized as one of The Post 50.

I hate that we now have to live without this phenomenal woman.

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

food banks are invaluable resources that need money, but food accessibility also depends on direct dollars in those who need its hands. the necessity to shop around your work/life schedule & meeting your households dietary needs cannot be downplayed. think of ways your community can fill the gap.

Last night, about 60 Chicago activists and organizers gathered to discuss Trump's threatened military occupation of our city. Our convo centered around a worksheet that some friends and I put together this week—a tool that can help us build and strengthen local networks of support and protection.
Mapping Community Defense and Care in Our Neighborhoods
This worksheet can help us prepare for Trump's military interventions at the neighborhood level.

I need people to understand:

1. Every US state already evicts more people annually than all of the EU combined

2. In most states, having a disability, health emergency, or a financial hardship is not a defense to an eviction suit

3. In most states, there is no right to counsel in eviction cases
"Trump is preparing to revoke eviction protections for people living in federal public housing and project-based rental assistance programs."

"[I]n some jurisdictions, people [..] could receive no notice at all before formal eviction procedures begin."

4. Clarification as I’m getting a lot of messages from people who applied BEFORE the court order; please only message me if you were denied a passport gender marker change following the order.

This will be the few people who have gone to the in person passport agencies.

1. Alert, and please share widely. A lawyer at the ACLU has asked me to inform my transgender readers that they should NOT be applying for passports right now - the state department has not issued guidance to comply with the court order and they are urgently trying to get them to do so.
🧵
I am getting multiple reports that the Trump admin is NOT complying with the court order requiring passport updates for transgender people.

Some passport agencies are being told not to give trans people passports with their correct gender marker, for now.
#Trans folks in the US who are reapplying for their passport to be fixed. Don't bother. Just had an emergency appointment today (I travel on the 30th) and they cannot issue me a corrected #passport. All decisions regarding this 'issue' are on hold until they receive guidance from the head office.

@prisonculture.bsky.social and I have been encouraging people to read chapter six of our book, Let This Radicalize You, which deals with the question of "violence" in social movements. We have decided to share the chapter publicly, to offer some context and grounding for the current conversation.

I have a long-standing policy not to tell people whose bodies are on the protest line how to do it. You could be right but if you’re not in it, your feedback does more harm than good.

My home of Missoula just voted to establish the pride flag as an official government flag of the city, thereby circumventing the state's asinine pride flag ban. 🏳️‍🌈

Missoula is once again showing how to fight back against policies that seek to erase the LGBTQ community.
