ICE has been cracking down hard across the vast expanse of the greater Chicago area, and I wrote a little bit about what you need to understand about what it’s like here now. Plus, I compiled some resources for locals to get alerts and whistles. dansinker.com/posts/202…

NY AG has created portal to report/upload footage of crimes committed by the violent bigoted morons of ICE. Every state AG should do this. Fuck ICE & any who offer them even tangential support or ignore their rancid, hateful, cowardly crimes. Repost! ag.ny.gov/federal-acti...

Hell is empty,
And all the devils are here.

The same dudes who fetishize the supposed lost strength and competence of their forefathers want computers to write their emails for them.

Some of my LA friends have told me that the problem is climate change, and it is. It’s January for fucks sake. But that doesn’t mean we have to solve climate change to better control fire.

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

I have a brilliant plan, all I need is:

Donald Trump is now (1) below 50% popular vote and (2) has a margin of popular vote victory roughly HALF of Hillary's victory in 2016. They believe the left has to lay down and shut up because of this "landslide" victory.

Trader Joe’s United said it’s *not* calling for a customer boycott at this time in response to the company arguing the NLRB is unconstitutional. But they *are* asking people to sign a customer strike pledge if they call for a boycott in the future.

FINALLY A DISPATCH FROM REALITY

"harping on people to get married from high up in the ivory tower fails to engage with the reality on the ground that heterosexual women from many walks of life confront: that is, the state of men today."

Another bad night for pundits. Perhaps they’re asking the wrong questions. Asking “is Biden too old? is perfectly acceptable in journalism. Asking “do you think the Republican party is trying to overthrow democracy so religious creeps can control your life and your body?” is, for some reason, not.

TUSC is fundraising to pay for the healthcare premiums of IATSE and Teamster folks who have lost work due to the strike. More info: https://tusctogether.com

Clinics have months-long wait times. Hormones cost thousands of dollars. Puberty blockers have been prescribed to cis kids for decades. Fewer than 300 kids get top surgeries per year; single digits get bottom surgeries.

ONE SIDE OF THIS "DEBATE" IS LYING.
