You could take the Illinois National Guard out of the equation by calling the rest of them up first.

Your Rebuild Illinois site suggests there’s plenty for them to do seeing as the state’s transportation infrastructure has a C rating & 26% of Illinois roads & 14% of highways are not “acceptable”

It was that or this

Criminalization of unhoused people.
Criminalization of disabled people & people w/ unmet mental health needs.
Criminalization of migrants.
Criminalization of youth.
Criminalization of underresourced Black communities

The D.C. occupation shows in real time how criminalization is a vector for fascism

Criminalization - of migrants, resistance, protest - is at the heart of politicians & pundits’ responses - more from @tinavasquez.bsky.social @prismreports.org

Lastly, let the record reflect that the peonies had a message of their own 👇🏼 for their fans & the populace at large.

FFS garden lovers stand down & get your priorities straight & stand up for the Gaza gardeners - including children growing food & flowers desperately trying to survive a genocide.

Let the record hereby reflect that folks CUT FLOWERS to call attention to GENOCIDE

Let the record also reflect that I went to aforementioned peony garden yesterday and said peonies were FINE and in fact blooming GANGBUSTERS.

(see, eg, exhibits A through D 👇🏼)

Shouldn’t ALL doctors be against genocide?!?

Co-founders of Doctors Against Genocide arrested at press conference diagnosing a genocide in Gaza and prescribing an immediate end to forced starvation blockade & occupation.

Join Doctors Against Genocide & @hcw4palestine.bsky.social in taking action

Some revolutionary mothers’ day history from @alexispauline.bsky.social

Black motherhood has always been resistance to criminalization.

Where, and on whose behalf, should we be sending 10,000 Mother’s Day missives to demand liberation?

“Forget Hallmark.
Have a revolutionary Mother’s Day people.”

As the U.S. police state deepens & expands & continues to weaponize the drug war against migrants & citizens & across borders, @interruptcrim.bsky.social & @drugpolicy.org gathered folks to continue to dream & build Black feminist visions, power & global networks to end the drug war at #IHRC2025

Will be sharing a tool with some thoughts on both questions (some proposed answers, more questions, especially abt power) from an abolitionist perspective during tonight's @haymarketbooks.org event on the importance of challenging criminalization in movements to resist to authoritarianism & fascism.
April 9, 2025 at 4:27 PM
This conversation becomes more relevant by the minute.

So grateful to @haymarketbooks.org for hosting, to the brilliant minds & seasoned organizers who agreed to join me, & to Democratizing Justice & Funders for Justice for sponsoring

Tomorrow! Don’t miss it!

Just this - for a court date on the suit he filed based on the EO on student protests…and that federal agents are staking out his house.

If you are at #Cornell right now I hope you will #DefendMomodouTaal and all immigrants on campus.

He is currently being targeted for deportation (again) simply because he filed a civil suit against the administration on behalf of student protesters demanding divestment from genocide.
