Here is what I’m doing to fight back today: I am a health coach in Chicago. For my fellow Chicagoans, I will provide health coaching on a sliding scale, pay what you can basis. I’m taking my cue from @leftistlawyer.com who does the same with legal defense services in Illinois.

When one of the country's largest cities has to restrict people from visiting a thriving market, it’s proof that we have drastically under-allocated space for human life and over-allocated it for cars.
City officials surprised vendors at Chicago’s most popular holiday market by imposing new crowd restrictions just hours before it opened last Friday.

Absolutely fucked beyond belief that the U.S. would turn its back on Afghans who helped the U.S. military fight the Taliban and I hope @nytimes.com / @nytopinion.nytimes.com will reflect that instead of both-sides-ing this horror

Once Trump is out of office, we must demand trials and accountability from the people who engaged in war crimes and violated the Constitutional rights of people in this country. And if you want to come around and say that it’ll never happen. Just fucking don’t. We don’t need your doom & gloom.

Also recognize that this unambiguous use of the military to commit murder of helpless noncombatants as they fought for life is a direct reflection of the virulent white supremacy that has seized our government, where every Latino man is a gangbanger in a de facto state of war against White America

Ahead of launching a war on Venezuela, the US would like to announce that no one in Venezuela should help US forces, it'd be stupid to do so, the US will denigrate you and screw you over no matter how much you help, and blame you if even one Venezuelan who also helped the US ever does something bad.

No idea why an Afghan refugee shot National Guard soldiers within walking distance of the White House, but this new USCIS directive was revealed on Monday. Worth noting.
The folks at @afghanevac.bsky.social have in hand a new USCIS directive which largely targets Afghan refugees who fled the Taliban in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal in 2021.

So I make a suggestion to somehow deal with the dangerous propaganda being pushed by formerly trusted news networks. A bunch of people jump in my mentions to tell me that solution won’t work. Ok fine. What WILL work? What are you willing to fight for? Because just saying nothing works isn’t helpful.

The censorship of anything that isn't pro-straight white people is proof that conservative Christian Nationalists have managed to destroy 75+ years of advancements in human rights. They now want to be allowed to give huge political donations as a church but still maintain tax free status.

You cannot just erase people from the world by removing books that talk about their lives. Children will still be gay and trans. They just won’t have access to books that speak to them. We must reinforce the line between religion and government. This is just horrifying.
A Tennessee legislator has ordered all Tennessee public libraries to shut down for two weeks to review their childrens collections and ensure they do not contain any books with LGBTQ characters or themes.
The Harper's letter crew is going to be *furious* about this.
