The deployment of tear gas throughout the Chicago area is a growing health concern. ICE is deploying tear gas in residential neighborhoods, near children, playgrounds, stores, etc. What are the health implications on our communities?

Today so far feds in Chicagoland have:

Attacked & arrested protesters at the Broadview detention center w/the help of the ISP other agencies

Tear gassed a street in Logan Square that has a grocery store & elementary school on it, among other things

Violently handcuffed an Alderperson

It's 3pm

ICE attacking people again with support from state cops.

ICE attacking people again with support from state cops. Someone here is being arrested.

The Washington Post Fired Me — But My Voice Will Not Be Silenced. I spoke out against hatred and violence in America — and it cost me my job.

Firing a Black woman for quoting Kirk’s horrific statements about Black women is insane. It seems the Washington Post would rather perform politeness (and demand that the people Kirk harmed do it too) that tell the truth: karenattiah.substack.com/p/the-washin...

Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.

You're getting a clear X-ray of America right now.

Look at who this country's powerful institutions choose to elevate, venerate, and celebrate.

Look at the double standards.

Look at the people who adore Charlie Kirk - then spend five minutes reviewing his hateful legacy.

This is America.

I seriously don't know how to explain to people that it is not in fact a sign of maturity and democracy to peacefully debate whether certain groups of people should be allowed to exist

Silicon Valley does not “want to build stuff.” Silicon Valley is supremely lazy, its innovations as of late are just disruption aka breaking the law and getting away with it because of corruption, plagiarism robots that tell kids to kill themselves, and outsourcing manufacturing.

If you’re near Illinois and able to make a trek, it’s accessible at at least some Chicago CVS locations.

they think they can just erase trans joy and trans freedom. they can't. they can make things a lot harder and more painful. but that joy and that freedom is not theirs to take and it is incumbent on all good people to say so.

The "oh you won't compromise and abandon [marginalized group]? enjoy the nazi takeover!" argument rings pretty fucking false when you consider that the horrors of a nazi takeover begin with the abandonment of marginalized groups.

I’m going to keep saying this- You don’t fight fascism with fascism light. We don’t fight fascism by sacrificing Gaza, trans folks, unhoused people, migrants, etc. We fight fascism by building a strong coalition INCLUDING everyone and fighting for a better world for EVERYONE. There’s no other way

my periodic reminder that your artistic work — your writing, music, dance, whatever it is — is crucially important for you and for the people who receive it, in ways you might never personally experience or grasp. you gotta trust me, please keep going

These kids absolutely crush Ozzy Osbourne's "Crazy Train",
xylophone-style! 🔥

His music has spanned the generations 🖤

And this is why every school needs a well funded music program 🎶

The answer to who we should throw under the bus is Rahm Emanuel not the people he is demonizing.

Rahm Emanuel criticized Dems for talking about "pronouns," but Megyn Kelly is the first interviewer I've seen drill down for his views.

Boys + girls are "fundamentally, physically different." No "men claiming they're women" in women's prisons.

"Can a man become a woman? No."

Oh look…I know those silly enby bees on the left!

Extremely here for this amount of improbability & chaos. And hearing the call from two of the announcers who made me fall in love with the game in the first place is…chef’s kiss.

This is slavery. What Trump is proposing is slavery.

Bodily autonomy is a human right.

Transness isn't a disease that needs to be cured. We're a normal part of the spectrum that is the human condition. And we deserve to have the final say over our own bodies - not just because of the harm if we don't, but because they belong to us and not the state.

oh my god

We are not a distraction we are real people facing real existential threats

Honestly I still can’t stop laughing 😂😅🤣

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

Opening Pride month with a reminder of what it takes to fight and what resistance looks like.

It wasn’t polite, it wasn’t without personal costs, and it wasn’t limited to the halls of Congress.

HIV funding has been eliminated and no one is coming to save it.

It’s time to fight.
