Please note: as of 11:30AM today, agents have restrictions on chemical weapons / "less lethal" munitions they are *supposed* to follow (🫠). This isn't limited to preplanned protests, it also applies to neighbors and rapid responders. If you see pepper balls fired...note it

As the far-Right and Trump ramps up talk about "left-wing violence," here is our roundup of far-Right, neo-Nazi, and pro-Trump mass shootings and attacks that have led to the deaths of over 10 people and multiple injures across several states - just in 2025.

praise for Kirk from liberal pundits is one of the clearest distillations of how ill-equipped they are for this fascist moment, & how devoted they are to a West Wing fantasy of a respectable right/conservative movement that does not exist, and which - like Kirk - almost never operates in good faith

Often thinking about when I was a very pregnant teacher and my high school sophomores told me if we ever go into lockdown, I should move to the safest corner of the room right away and they would move the bookcase to barricade the door on their own. "You have the baby," they (babies) said.

More performers, do this PLEASE!
Boston!! We just got word back from Mass Teacher Resources. Because of your generosity we collected over 2,000 pounds of school supplies at the The Wilbur shows. That support means 1,000 teachers will be able to get what they need at no cost this fall through the MTR Free Store.

Wanted to make a playlist to play if /when ICE in Chicago pulls me over because of the Mexican Flag magnet on my bumper. All I could think of was "Springtime for Hitler and Germany", and was tapped...

Trump has declared war on Chicago and now his secret police are running racist ads in Edgewater.
Let’s be clear: ICE isn’t welcome here. Trump isn’t welcome here. And they’re certainly not going to recruit their goons from here.
