“I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.”

aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...
I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

It’s an in-joke that when Black women get bored, we go get a degree & pivot. It’s a whole lotta Black women unemployed right now, watching Rep Jasmine & Kamala & now the Detroit mayor etc, and I don’t think *those people* understood what they’ve activated by forcing us to have time via layoffs

I gotta hand it to Bluesky, nobody took the bait from the White House account. On Twitter, people kept trying to dunk on the White House until the account became even more evil somehow

I sat in the room with Mike Johnson as Epstein’s survivors told their stories. He looked them in the eyes and promised accountability.

Now he’s blocking the vote to release the files. Swear in Congresswoman-elect @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social—now.

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed.

A cornerstone of conservative ideology is "never let the government provide what a corporation can charge for." You can prove the government ineffective, provide a captive user base for corporations, AND fuck over poor folks in one fell swoop.

There have been two hosts in the history of Reading Rainbow. The Legend of Literacy, LeVar Burton! And... me, Mychal Threets, a librarian 🥹🤯

I am a reader, a librarian because LeVar Burton and Reading Rainbow made us believe and see we belong in books, we belong everywhere ✨

Smiling Mychal with hands raised wears an outer space shirt in a library. It is a still from an episode of Reading Rainbow. LeVar Burton smiles with hands behind his head as he lies down on a colorful pile of books. ENEMY PIE book rests on his chest.

A man was just chased and arrested outside of the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago. When legal observers from the National Lawyers Guild asked why, an agent threatened to arrest them too.

The same bs they're spewing about autism and tylenol is the same bs they're spewing about trans people's healthcare. It's the exact same playbook and the fact that the media can see through one and not the other is a damning indictment of how complicit they are in the attack on trans lives.

To my fellow cishet dudes: when we are quiet about supporting the trans community, the only voices anyone hears are the Charlie Kirks of the world. Don't let accusations of being "performative" or "virtue signaling" shut you up - that's their whole point. Our voices are needed now more than ever.

I keep hearing, if we do basically ANYTHING to shut this down “he will declare an emergency & use Martial Law”.

IT IS ALREADY HAPPENING!! He HAS declared NINE emergencies in 8 months! We have MILITARY being deployed into cities.

He WILL suspend elections.

The time for revolution is NOW.
