A 20 year old woman in Minnesota was murdered at work by a coworker this week. Why? He didn't like the way she looked at him. And people are judging her gender presentation in an effort to justify her murder. America hates women. And children. It hates Black, Indigenous, Latine and Asian people too

There it is.
Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Billionaires are always inserting themselves into situations when it is unneeded or unwanted but when their influence could be useful, they aren’t around. Anyway. Mark Cuban is an IU alum. He could fund that student newspaper in perpetuity with pocket change. Or withhold institutional donations.

Once again, @govpritzker.illinois.gov's state police have attacked protesters while doing crowd control for ICE in Broadview. Pritzker positions himself as a Trump opponent, but he's doing ICE's dirty work in Broadview. It has to stop.

My latest is the story of how my community has rallied to protect and defend our neighbors in recent days, as ICE has targeted the Rogers Park neighborhood in Chicago. "This is not a story about a moment of victory, but a moment of being reminded of our power."

Before long, there were dozens, and then hundreds of people in the streets, watching and responding.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

The fact that so many US citizens have no idea Bad Bunny is also a US citizen (and don't believe he can be a US citizen) tells you that when they say "citizen," they really just mean white.

I bet some of you recognize the same behavior in your parents during your childhood and beyond. Once again, they don’t think it’s right. But it’s familiar. Most people are trained from birth to prefer familiarity or comfortability over moral correctness.
Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

A question for actively anti-racist white people who were raised in evangelical households: What internal tests do you run to make sure you are not falling into white savior mode? How do you separate doing good and what’s right from your training in White evangelism? I’m looking for a discussion.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

If *your department head and your dean* can be removed for supporting your colleague in teaching in their area of expertise, then you have no academic freedom. In a functional sense, you don't work at a university at all.
Faculty in red states are being punished for failing to signal in their course descriptions that their classes will include content on "gender ideology."

Remind me again which party was appalled by idea of "trigger warnings"?

When Campus Reform and Turning point came after professors and created the professor watchlist, administrators didn't pay attention..Now they are being fired and attacked. Maybe institutions should have done more to protect academic freedom....

Any one of these billionaires could step in and fund CPB. Hell they could put it on rotation between them. But they won't and that's why even the whales hate them.

Every once in awhile I just scream at the air, “we need California bad!”

California does so much for our country. The numbers are always astounding.
California’s #1 import is oil, much of it from Iraq. To get it, ships pass through the Strait of Hormuz, controlled by Iran.

California is the 4th largest economy in the world and pays $90 billion more in federal taxes than it gets back, to subsidize red states.

Have a nice day

Because Black people know that there is no such thing as “identification” or “identifying yourself”. They aren’t saying Padilla didn’t identify himself as a U.S. Senator. They are saying that there is only one acceptable identity — credential — being white and, in these times, being pro-Trump.

So ICE is now more powerful than a sitting US senator? I hope every democrat congressperson stands up for their colleague and demands accountability for what happened to Alex Padilla. They won’t but I wish they would.
