A daycare. Every day in Chicago. The state is not stopping this. Pritzker’s and Johnson’s cops have ONLY been protecting these assaults so there is so far nothing that is stopping them besides unarmed residents screaming. How many children are technically orphans now @govpritzker.illinois.gov?

New on Knock: Part 2 of a series on the Eaton and Palisades fires. Fossil fuel extraction and real estate expansion into wilderness over 100 years laid the groundwork for this year’s catastrophe.

The recent ICE raid which emptied an entire apartment building was apparently at the request of Wells Fargo, which is trying to foreclose on the building.

63% of American adults had unfavorable views of Martin Luther King Jr in August 1966, per Gallup surveys

46% of Mississippi GOP voters said interracial marriage should be illegal in a 2011 PPP poll

to push w/e is popular instead of trying to popularize justice is to admit you lack moral leadership

Here we go. Per their pattern of fucking over specific people and civil rights timed with the month/day those people/issues are acknowledged, we can be sure shit is going down next month. The Dobbs anniversary is in June and they’ll want maximum cruelty (+ to hijack the media cycle from advocates)

I’m not reposting anything with RFK Jr’s face on it out of respect for xour eyes but “autism epidemic” is like saying “freckles epidemic” or “cleft chin epidemic” it’s not a disease it’s just a way some people are and the thing we need to fix is a hostile societal framework.

Debates about anarchism versus socialism reveal that many people are unaware of the history of the socialist movement. At Offshoot, we made a zine explaining how this nonsensical binary shows a need for more political education on these terms people misrepresent. offshootjournal.org/anarchism-or...

They are arresting people on the streets, terminating their visas, and disappearing them for writing things they disagree with. This is where we are. Two months in. Right now. If you think they won’t begin coming after citizens soon, you are mistaken.

I will be working until I die because I'm disabled & have no savings & grim prospects of experiencing homeownership or rising above the lower middler class. But if I was rich like politicians, I would not take after them & work until I die. I would settle down & bask in my sagacity & be cared for.

UNREAL. ICE implies in a sworn declaration that MOST of the Venezuelans sentenced to hard labor in a brutal Central American prison without charge or trial or so much as a cursory hearing had never been convicted or even charged with ANY CRIME whatsoever, not even a trivial one, anywhere, ever!

that the decision to single out, detain &persecute someone for their political speech was made by those at the highest levels is the purest distillation of fascism. so many dems are silent bc, by framing anti-genocide speech as antisemitic for over a year, they helped create the conditions for this

Exceptions to abortion bans for “the pregnant person’s life or health” sound reasonable and even good. But instead they’re deeply stigmatizing by legally enshrining the false premise that pregnancy is not inherently of great importance to every pregnant person’s health and life.

Police killed more people in 2024 than any year in more than a decade. Black people were 30% of those killed by police in 2024 despite being only 13% of the population. There were only 13 days in 2024 when police didn't kill someone (that we know of).

The city of New Orleans uses the Mississippi River as drinking water. Our current governor begged the state to remove funding from the city of New Orleans to fix the pumps and the decaying sewage and water system UNTIL the DA agrees to prosecute women for abortions. www.essence.com/news/louisia...

If you want to see the end result of massive police funding and militarization, the expansion of the surveillance state, and the cross-pollination of law enforcement and the far-Right - look and see how campus police mobilized to attack the student movement in solidarity with #Palestine at #Yale.

ProPublica spoke with 135 people who had experienced "sweeps" of homeless encampments. We also distributed notecards so people could write about it in their own words.

In Portland, Teresa Stratton told us her husband’s ashes were taken in a removal: propub.li/4fW8YIT
