They’re selling us out, angling for cosmetic changes that will make no difference out on the streets.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

If I had an active account on X I would at the very least stop posting pictures of women and children and really anyone while there’s a rampant automated sexual abuse trend going on

I've seen this going around today and it's beautiful, so here's a gift link.

Spain, Ireland and Netherlands to boycott Eurovision after Israel retains place Major European nations pull out of song contest after calling for country’s exclusion over conduct of war in Gaza

Russia was removed from Eurovision in 2022 over its invasion of Ukraine, but Israel is still allowed to compete despite being an apartheid state committing a genocide in Gaza.

Good on Spain, Ireland, and the Netherlands. I’m sure they won’t be the last to announce a boycott.

I’m still struggling with the fact that ICE “brown shirts” went to a taco shop and thought they would get served.

F that!

‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’
—Alice Wong

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning.

This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

This is wild because I’ve met this photographer when he photographed the Rohingya community in Chicago and have since followed his work on instagram. He posted these photos of Bovino weeks ago!!

If republicans and their billionaire backers want to keep losing elections, openly talk about your escape plan to Florida. It worked for Rauner and Griffin in Illinois. Oh you’ll leave forever? Bet. Sorry to Florida tho

I did a training yesterday and someone questioned the effectiveness of the whistles. And the presenter said that for ICE agents, “we know it annoys them”

If you have tinted windows on your car in Chicago, ya might want to have that taken off. People are on edge

Mickey 17 was a masterpiece and you guys fucked up by not watching it

This guy suuuuucks. The bibles he sent also had the Declaration of Independence and Constitution at the back of them (just as Jesus intended lol) but the Constitution they printed were missing Amendments 11-27, and the 3/5ths compromise, completely erasing the history of slavery in this country

Yeah the misogyny today has been A LOT

PRESIDENTIAL ACTIONS DESIGNATING ANTIFA AS A DOMESTIC TERRORIST ORGANIZATION Executive Orders September 22, 2025 Section 1. Antifa as a Terrorist Threat. Antifa is a militarist, anarchist enterprise that explicitly calls for the overthrow of the United States Government, law enforcement authorities, and our system of law. It uses illegal means to organize and execute a campaign of violence and terrorism nationwide to accomplish these goals. This campaign involves coordinated efforts to obstruct enforcement of Federal laws through armed standoffs with law enforcement, organized riots, violent assaults on Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other law enforcement officers, and routine doxing of and other threats against political figures and activists. Antifa recruits, trains, and radicalizes young Americans to engage in this violence and suppression of political activity, then employs elaborate means and mechanisms to shield the identities of its operatives, conceal its funding sources and operations in an effort to frustrate law enforcement, and recruit additional members. Individuals associated with and acting on behalf of Antifa further coordinate with other organizations and entities for the purpose of spreading, fomenting, and advancing political violence and suppressing lawful political speech. This organized effort designed to achieve policy objectives by coercion and intimidation is domestic terrorism. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/09/designating-antifa-as-a-domestic-terrorist-organization/

An orange cat wrapped like a baby in a towel.

Taking the ancient queen to the vet. She found the whole pet carrier in the back of the car thing pretty traumatic last time, so I had my wife drive while I cradled her. God this old cat is spoiled.
