A judge ordered Martinez and a co-defendant released pending trial.

I called and talked about how the state cops joined ICE in brutalizing protesters today.

Your state troopers participated in Friday's fascist photo op attack at Broadview. Get the false charges against protesters dropped immediately!

All charges brought against protesters at Broadview today must be dropped. When cops and agents attack crowds without provocation, they make shit up to justify their attacks (in his case, an attack waged on a cooperative crowd to produce fascist social media content). These charges must be dropped.

As if I didn’t love you enough already!!!

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Pick one or two lanes and keep at it. You are one person and cannot do everything or take 10 actions a day.

BREAKING: At least 72 Palestinians have been killed in relentless Israeli attacks throughout the besieged Gaza Strip since dawn, medical sources have told Al Jazeera.

I’m on the ground near Broadview. Because of illegal fence, we are at a nearby intersection.

I'm not asking people to stop talking about Kimmel or the coming repression tied to their latest martyr project—all of this is important. I am just saying, can we work in more discussion of our neighbors being hunted and protesters being gassed, beaten, and shot with pepper balls in Chicagoland?

In Little Village, residents are blowing actual whistles to warn neighbors about ICE. blockclubchi.co/46mVKSq

Faculty, advocacy groups fear Texas A&M firing threatens academic freedom The firing happened over two years after Texas A&M stressed its support for academic freedom and amid a changing higher education landscape.

“We’re going to teach the truth,” Prof. Leonard Bright said. “We don’t know what the consequences of that may be...But we do know that if we were to censor the truth…that’s going to damage our society. That’s going to damage our students.” 👏👏

Legacy media and cable news reduced Trump's aggression against Chicago to a question of whether troops would be sent immediately. When he said he was taking his fascist military spectacle elsewhere, those media players declared the situation over—while waves of federal agents attack our neighbors.

BREAKING: At least 53 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks since the early hours of this morning, report our team on the ground, citing sources at local hospitals.

Little black girl holding a Minnie Mouse stuffy in her grandmas lap. Who holds her while smiling.

I may act like an adult, but really I’m just a girl who wishes should could lay in the safety of her Granny’s lap one more time.

Someone asked me what victory against the forces seeking to occupy Chicago looks like. Obviously, those forces being repelled is the goal, but there are layers to what success looks like in these deteriorating conditions. The first is to successfully resist the normalization of military occupation.

As we prep for the start of fall classes, I want to take a moment to shout out all the wonderful university librarians and library staff who work tirelessly to ensure we have easy, open access to all we need to teach, learn, and research. This professor is grateful for all that you do! 🤎

While on my morning walk in the Mueller neighborhood, my DPS escort, who was forced upon me to track my every movement, threatened to arrest me. He lost me on the trail, got angry about it, and made a scene in front of my constituents on the trail. #txlege 1/3

While a little shaken up from the incident, I remain undeterred by this intimidation tactic by House Republicans to have a 24/7 state police presence to intimidate me and my colleagues. 2/3

This is also why I stand with my colleague @NicoleCollier95, who has refused to go along with this charade and is still on the House floor 24 hours later. We will not be intimidated by this, and history will remember this. 3/3

Not enough work on curriculum and pedagogy takes seriously factoring in labor politics for educators and other school staff as part of good design and practice.

What a legacy! Sending you so much love. 🤎

If anybody in the learning sciences (or beyond) wants to write a paper for ICLS (International Conference of the Learning Sciences) about how Google and others invoke our field (or a version of it, anyway) to sell their products and what that means for learning scientists, HMU, because I'm curious.

I love when people I like promote themselves! I’m all for it! Can’t wait to read with my students!

Gonna text her now!!!

Syllabus prep in full swing! So excited to teach our department's version of a proseminar for first-year PhD students! Do you have any favorite readings, activities, or offerings I should consider including? #backtoschool #graduateeducation

Who is doing counter-recruitment organizing for ICE? As the economy worsens, those jobs and the loan forgiveness offer will become more attractive to unpoliticized individuals. There needs to be a clear social cost for even considering joining those ranks.

Thank you!

Thank you!
