😭😭😭

I'm pleased to report that I saw no children dressed up as cops this Halloween, the first year I haven't seen a single child cop 🔥

Can't say it often enough:

Feds Won't Pause Immigration Blitz During Halloween, Día De Los Muertos, Homeland Security Boss Says During a news conference Thusday, Gov. JB Pritzker also slammed federal agents' targeting of people without criminal records and using tear gas on neighborhood streets.

blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/30/f... They are targeting children and religious holidays. They are staging ICE raids in cemeteries. There is nothing about this that has anything to do with law and order. This is lawlessness and desecration.

I think a lot about how in just a few months, I went from literally just a random trans person no one knew, to being cited in Wikipedia, the Washington Post, and even the New York Times about RAINN erasing trans people from their website.

Go out there and do shit, you have so much power!

A reminder that Musk is a mass murderer. It's not hyperbole.

Notice how when there is a discussion of pregnancy complications they use a white woman for the cover. When it’s about “mooching” off the system they will use a Black woman.

Organizing for and with solidarity works.

The media is about to blitz us with stories about how awful Maduro is and I want you to remember that even if they're all true, they are being issued solely for the purpose of manufacturing consent for invading Venezuela and killing innocent people.

Guillermo del Toro Hopes He’s Dead Before AI Art Goes Mainstream The “Frankenstein” director tells WIRED the real Victor Frankensteins are tyrannical politicians and Silicon Valley tech bros.

"With a little bit of luck, I'll die before that takes root. I'm much more interested in talking about anything you want except that."

Guillermo...same.

"total fascist consolidation of government because kids talked back at cornell too much" is such an embarrassing way to go

Jill Lepore reports in the NYT that halfway through Obama’s second term students became rather difficult in the classroom

This is an absolutely incredible thing to say. As someone in Ivy-ish (Duke) classrooms from 2016-2022… I call bull.

Or she was saying offensive shit.

This whole Nazi tattoo dude in the Senate nonsense is revealing of a lot of white folks. Oh your friends have Nazi tattoos too? Oh it doesn't bother you at all? Oh your whole crew you been rolling with has them & y'all are all perfectly democratic? Fascinating. Taking notes.

Depression is killing me slowly, brutally.
I’m drowning in fear not for my own life, but for my family’s.
Everything depends on me: their food, their shelter, their hope. And I can’t do it anymore.
I’m exhausted to the bone, broken beyond words.
Every message I write feels like tearing open a wound.

Jamaican Americans Mobilize After the Island's Worst Hurricane in a Century It is unknown how long it could take the island to recover from the storm, one of the strongest storms on record in the Atlantic.

If Israel were to dissolve and the settlers were to go back to Europe Israel would still be a bad memory.

Send Rebeka $20 for food.

They're battling cancer and don't even have food to eat with their medication.

I don't have any to send rn. Please send on my behalf 💜

Every ignorant person who celebrated her Nobel Prize win should be ashamed of themselves. Read something for God's sake

They hanged the people who got us the 8-hour workday.

Do people actually understand the war waged against the Panthers by the U.S government? I think that most people really do not.

"A.i." is controlled by right wing billionaires who are channeling bullshit into your brains. Do not use it.

Western media has had a blackout on both Congo & Sudan, & people there have had less access to social media, this is the primary reason why genocides there have not been discussed by Westerners.

Because the people who like this shit are all repugnant misanthropes for whom any amount of money is worth never having to interact with The Poors.

I just can't imagine my bf sending me a note like this, it's a really weird thing to say. It's dressed up as a joke but he can't hide the fact that he's bitter that his wife who was meant to just trundle behind him being worshipful has a gig.

Amnesty says US strike on Yemen prison that killed dozens of African migrants may be war crime The Central Command has yet to offer any explanation for the strike on the prison.

Been so distracted with the current war crimes in Latin America, that we forgot about this one. Amnesty International suggests we don't.

Weird because I could have sworn the NYT told us we shouldn't worry about these viruses and should just get back to brunch

Congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh, five others indicted over protest outside Broadview ICE facility Illinois congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh and five other protesters have been indicted on federal charges, accused of damaging an ICE agent's vehicle in Broadview​ last month.

These indictments are disgusting. I was there when these alleged crimes *did not* occur. The only violence that occurred was committed by ICE, as usual.
