HAPPENING NOW
At the intersection of Cedar Avenue and 32nd St, another blockade is up to help keep ICE OUT of our communities!
Bring signs, firewood, and materials to help hold the intersection and impede ICE operations as much as possible.

ICE has shot and killed a community observer in Minneapolis.
Sending all of my love to the people of Minneapolis and the folks defending their neighbors there. This is heinous, and I am so sorry.
To everyone else: REMEMBER ICE LIES ABOUT EVERYTHING. THIS IS DOCUMENTED.

In a new phase 3 trial, people randomly assigned to receive a flu shot made with modified mRNA were 34.5% less likely to be diagnosed with an influenza-like illness than people given a standard flu shot made with inactivated virus.
We need to stop the anti-science attacks against mRNA vaccines!

the nuzzi story is fun and all but at the center of it is the elevation of a man who has dedicated his life to making children catch preventable diseases to a position where he can enact harm at enormous scale
CDC has overhauled its website to assert that “the claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim”

Mega Prayer and Mutual Aid request. My friend Lisa's daughter, Angelique Sanchez, was diagnosed with Lupus as an infant, that she has managed to survive is a miracle. Over the last two months, she has been having severe complications, this is her 5th hospitalization in that time.

Happening now in Broadview—outside Chicago:
A procession of Illinois Handmaid’s, with the Illinois Democratic Women of Cook County, walks in procession to the ICE detention facility.
“Even though we are silent, we are powerful,” an organizer told the group before starting.

My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know they’re all your people."
In Chicago, We Run Toward Danger Together
"Faced with unrelenting state violence, Chicagoans have refused to be cowed," says Mariame Kaba.

This week in 1988: 1,000+ ACT UP demonstrators shut down the FDA headquarters, demanding (and eventually winning) action on developing HIV/AIDS treatments. ACT UP's militant and creative actions always included powerful visual artwork, and paved the way for movements in the decades to come.

Cannot escape the feeling that people would care more about the nightmare unfolding in Chicagoland if Trump had actually sent the National Guard. People hung all of their ideas about fascist escalation looks like on that. Meanwhile, agents hunt our neighbors and gas protesters here.

There’s a passage in Pedagogy of the Oppressed that feels directly relevant to the way some people wag their tongues about “family abolition.” Freire warns about the oppressor-convert: the one who claims to speak for the people but cannot bring themselves to actually trust the people 🪡
Family abolition is about ending the state’s exploitation of family as a stand-in for public infrastructure. No housing? Rely on family. No healthcare? Family. No safety net? Family. The neoliberal family formation is privately subsidized state abandonment dressed with a sentimental smokescreen.

It's great that states are forming regional public health alliances to ensure people still have access to vaccines. They should take it one step further & include distributing free masks & tests, installing clean air infrastructure etc. The best way to prevent outbreaks is with layered protections!

Someone asked me what victory against the forces seeking to occupy Chicago looks like. Obviously, those forces being repelled is the goal, but there are layers to what success looks like in these deteriorating conditions. The first is to successfully resist the normalization of military occupation.
