Time for a lesson in #WomensHistory! My Mardi Gras costume this year honored Sophie Scholl, who fought Nazis as one of the leaders of a non-violent student resistance group The White Rose.

I went to an "ojos" training tonight hosted by New Orleans DSA and Union Migrante and thought I'd pass on new things I learned:
1. Low/old info ICE sighting posts are wreaking havoc on immigrant communities. Basically, incomplete or old info is actively harmful (even if ppl have good intentions)

For the first time in the history of the U.S., the President is allowing SNAP funding to lapse.
I knew Trump was cruel, but letting tens of millions of Americans starve when you have the resources to feed them is a new low.

Chicagoland is a friendly, safe, vibrant, & fun place. I’m very happy my kids have grown up in the Rogers Park neighborhood of the city, & in Evanston. They’re both wonderful places.
But ICE is attacking us. People are doing everything possible to protect their neighbors. But it’s hard.

This is simple. Congress should not willingly pay the bills to fund the most serious assault on political freedom in our lifetime - an assault that may collapse democracy as we know it if we don't fight back.

Bronze statue by an anonymous creator shows the two men frolicking and holding hands with a foot kicked back in joy
There’s a new statue on the east end of the National Mall for Washington DC residents and tourists to enjoy. The bronze statue shows two men frolicking, grinning wide and holding hands, each with a foot joyously kicked back.
“We celebrate the long-lasting bond between President Donald J. Trump and his ‘closest friend,’ Jeffrey Epstein,” a plaque at the bottom of the spray-painted bronze installation reads. A permit from the National Park Service will allow the statue to stay on the National Mall grounds through 8pm on Sunday. Continue reading...
