📱 Using your #RightToRecord!

In the U.S.– no matter what your immigration status is– you have the right to record immigration enforcement agents. This is a powerful tool for exposing their tactics, combatting abuse, and fighting detention.

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

For Charlotte friends who want to prepare, we made our little whistle station with a plastic planter (drainage in the bottom in case it rains), zip ties, and no-heat lamination paper

Turning off replies because I'm not interested in debate.

I'm right.

Also, don't tell me that the state cops protect us from ICE when I was personally brutalized by ICE in the presence of a mob of state cops. Police do not protect protesters. That's simply not how they exist in relation to us.

Bovino and many of his agents are headed to another city. Reports indicate that Charlotte and NOLA are upcoming targets. But there will still be ICE attacks in Chicago, as there were before, and we need to remain responsive. We also have a lot of deep prep work to do, bc they will be back in force.

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

It was snowing yesterday in Chicago. Yet the folks who are part of the Tiny Kitchen Project were outside offering food to their community. blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/04/a... - people are in motion everywhere and we should focus on those folks...

There — I fixed the analysis so it is actually accurate to what happened when 8 Senate Dems caved instead of keeping up the righteous fight to deliver lower health care costs for Americans.

Trying to piece together footage from the last few months in any coherent way just feels like making a trailer for a horror movie starring the feds...and all things considered, that's probably about where we're at.

lotta people saying to donate to food banks which is great, but if that’s not available to you, often they are desperate for volunteers! shifts can be short, a few hours when you’re free, doing stuff like sorting boxes, making sandwiches, or delivering meals, depending on the org

I need every beginner artist out there who thinks their work isn’t good enough to know that in this AI-poisoned environment seeing your raw, human art gives me fucking life.

Any imperfection born from a living soul infinitely trumps whatever “polished” slop they’re trying to force feed us.

As an educator, as a fellow woman in science, I’m fucking horrified that Lia Smith who was just a year from
graduation felt her only option was to take her own life.

I lay her death at the feet of all the people hounding trans women athletes like her, you fucking monsters

It's hard to encapsulate just how destructive the biased @nytimes.com coverage of the genocide in Gaza has been. I am joining 300+ scholars, public figures, and writers in boycotting the Times and demanding accountability. Learn more here: www.boycottdivestunsubscribe.com

At the food pantry I volunteer at we were absolutely swamped today and by many first timers. We ran out of whole categories of food. Please donate cash to your local organization if you at all can.

Made a similar point last week that you can make extra meals and let neighbors know that they will be available at your door at a particular date and time... Put up a flier in your building.
You can cook food for your neighbors. Set a free pantry box outside of your place. Pool money with your coworkers if someone at work has young kids or an elderly relative that likely has SNAP.

You don’t have to pry into people’s business, you can just do things & make it known help is available.
