I'm dropping off participating for now (very busy!) but I'll be back to it at the end of the month for the last four prompts ⚔️

Chicago Police Officer Shoots, Kills Person in Car That Intentionally Struck CPD Vehicles, CPD Says Chicago police officers have now shot 16 people, killing eight, less than nine months into 2025, more than in all of last year, records show.

It’s all an attitude of being fine with authoritarianism, just not in their preferred cities. High crime rates in Republican-led states isn’t a gotcha! It’s a tragedy and a canary in a coal mine about what systemic racism and poverty beget. Do better, y’all. Not one city should be occupied.

I want to push back against the sentiment that we live in terrible political times and we must exist as if we don't. Let me hold your hand gently when I say this:

You don't have to keep it moving like the world isn't burning. You can meet the moment *and* do daily life. Let's talk about how. 🧵

"Amid fears of operations targeting immigrants, volunteers are patrolling for signs of [ICE] agents ... [D]eploying National Guard troops in the city could cost taxpayers nearly $1.6 million per day, according to the nonpartisan National Priorities Project."

A sign reading “Free Palestine!, Free DC! Free Us All!”

I want a politics that widens the circle to include everyone, not one that shrinks the circle by throwing *undesirables* under the bus. I think this is basic. I am interested in a politics that is rooted at the sources of people's suffering. I am interested in a politics that attends to basic needs.

Who's carrying out Southern California immigration raids? The presence of masked federal agents is an unnerving part of life in Southern California this summer. Here’s a look at who’s carrying out the immigration raids.

Excellent read.

"The Cato Institute found that ICE booked over 200,000 people into detention between October 1 and June 14. More than 93% of book-ins had no violent conviction and 65% had no criminal conviction whatsoever."

This is what ethnic cleansing in the US looks like. Right now.

One reason I can't get exorcised about the defunding of PBS is because it would take 4 rich Liberals 6 months to raise enough to cover the funding cut. They should do that. Yes I subscribe already but Liberal elites should fucking make themselves useful.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz after touring "Alligator Alcatraz": "These detainees are living in cages. The pictures you've seen don't do it just. They are essentially packed into cages. 34 detainees per cage...they get their drinking water & they brush their teeth where they poop, in the same unit"

Palestinian testimonies of deliberate Israeli killings at U.S.-run ‘aid’ sites were ignored until the perpetrators admitted to it Palestinians have delivered testimony after testimony about the Israeli-backed and U.S.-run “death traps” masquerading as aid sites. But no one listened until Haaretz published direct testimony from…

No one listened—until Israeli soldiers admitted they were ordered to shoot civilians. mondoweiss.net/2025/07/pale...

Two weeks have passed since a Florida Highway Patrol officer arrested the Honduran immigrant client of Magdalena Cuprys of Cuprys & Associates. “He was stopped at a weigh station in Tampa because he owns a construction company, and he was required to stop for his truck to be weighed,” Cuprys told me. “The client had a valid Florida driver’s license. The patrol officer called Customs and Border Protection on him. The client called me, and the officer took the phone from him and spoke with me.” She asked why CBP was alerted. “I was advised that the client looked Hispanic, had a Hispanic name, and now they are collaborating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and CBP, and their orders are to call CBP any time they encounter anyone they suspect is an immigrant,” said Cuprys. “I asked if they would have followed the same process if it had been me driving, and the response was it depends if you look Hispanic.”

“It depends if you look Hispanic.”

Big Beautiful Bill 101: What you need to know about the new law President Donald Trump's Big Beautiful Bill just became law. Here are the basics you need to know about it.

In case you are looking for a good article from a mainstream outlet that lays out what's actually in the murder bill, I sent this USA today one to my family members: www.usatoday.com/story/graphi... - Most of them said that it was really helpful for them.

Today I am imposing sanctions on UN Human Rights Council Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese for her illegitimate and shameful efforts to prompt @IntlCrimCourt action against U.S. and Israeli officials, companies, and executives. Albanese’s campaign of political and economic warfare against the United States and Israel will no longer be tolerated. We will always stand by our partners in their right to self-defense. The United States will continue to take whatever actions we deem necessary to respond to lawfare and protect our sovereignty and that of our allies.

The US is imposing sanction on Francesca Albanese for refusing to stay silent about its participation in the genocide in Gaza.

It is no coincidence that these sanctions follow her report specifically on economic complicities in the genocide.

Solidarity forever with @franceskalbs.bsky.social.

Chicago leaders are calling out a surprise visit from federal agents to Humboldt Park’s National Puerto Rican Museum yesterday. blockclubchi.co/4eFA9bD

Amazing news: Princeton & its prosecutors pressed charges against 13 students for a pro-Palestine protest, then offered to dismiss charges against 12 if one, @aditilrao.bsky.social, pled guilty.

Instead, everyone held firm, and today the case was DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE & arrest record expunged!!!

my community has been fighting against two new ai-data centers, bought and paid for by the same company that made the fucking atomic bomb. beyond generative ai, its expressed purpose is to help train ai models used in warfare. I don't think people understand how perilous these centers are.

Statement from DSA's National Political Committee. 3 of 4. Although the Senate has passed the bill, we still have a chance to block it with massive pressure on the House of Representatives. We urge you to sound the alarm with everyone you know about what this Bill intends to do. You can use this script to call the reps listed and demand they vote no: dsausa.us/stop-trumpBBB This greed must not go unchecked. People should know why we are losing our healthcare, why masked men are terrorizing our communities, and what we can do about it. And while Trump’s Republican administration is leading the charge on the BBB, they have been helped by the Democratic Party’s unwillingness to fight back against these efforts and helping their efforts by crushing worker power at every turn and voting alongside them. We hope to defeat this bill and all it threatens to do, but the only way to build a fighting alternative is mass, working-class organization and resistance.
