What on earth?!

"we spent years gleefully angering and shitting on our core reader demographic of educated Democrats, and now we're shocked they're not giving us money anymore"

incredible work

Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."

Feds deploy tear gas in another Chicago neighborhood: 'We chased federal agents out of Albany Park today' A federal judge’s temporary restraining order requires federal agents to issue two warnings before using riot control weapons such as tear gas. Witnesses say they didn't get any warning Sunday afterno...

“I was afraid to go over there,” he said. “I got braver the more people came out. I know my neighbors have my back, and I have their back. ... These are Americans who know what freedom is — we’re being invaded by strangers.”

Treating white supremacy as "just another point of view" has brought us to the current moment. Shame, disgrace, aversion, and disgust should attach to voicing white supremacist views.

Chicago priest urges parishioners to leave mass with caution after ICE agents reported nearby Chicago's Rogers Park community remained vigilant after reports of federal agents near a Catholic church during Sunday mass.

"After the warning, neighbors showed up and formed a human chain outside the church to guide parishioners home. NBC Chicago found more organizers doing the same for the beginning of the 6 p.m. mass..."

womp womp.

ICE abducted a 15-year-old autistic boy during a bathroom break and kept him hidden for nearly a week.
His mother thought he was missing. Even local police couldn’t find him because ICE never told anyone they had him.

He was selling fruit with his mom when he asked to use the restroom.

Especially when the actual natives, who had nothing to do with said maniac (who never set foot on the North American continent), were sensible enough to tell people where the pigeon shit was. 😀

Brown graphic reads, "Indigenous Peoples’ Day. Today we honor Native Americans (and not that other guy)"

Brown graphic reads, "Why Indigenous Peoples’ Day? Honoring Indigenous Peoples’ Day is an effort to tell the truth about our country’s history. Since the ‘90s, universities, localities, and states have formally replaced Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples’ or Native Americans’ Day. The fight to recognize Indigenous Peoples’ Day began much earlier — led by Native American and Indigenous people advocating for our voices to be heard – and the movement has grown larger every year."

Brown graphic reads, "Why Indigenous Peoples’ Day? It’s also a day to celebrate Native cultures and recognize the fights for justice and autonomy that Native Americans still face. In many cases, the passing of bills to recognize Indigenous Peoples’ Day have been accompanied by measures to preserve our culture and language, as well as attempts to reconcile wrongs done to our communities."

Brown graphic reads, "We continue the fight alongside our partners to defend the rights of Native American and Indigenous people to: Vote Speak and protest freely Live our lives free from discrimination and criminalization Live without government abuse of power"

Honoring Indigenous Peoples' Day is an effort to tell the truth about our country's history and celebrate Native cultures so we can move forward together through restorative practices. We honor the Native people of PA: the Iroquois, Munsee Delaware, Lenape Delaware, Erie, Shawnee, and Susquehannock.

These "agents" need to be detained without bail pending their trial.

Proof that public outcry can still be helpful, if temporarily. The money was rerouted to the National Center on Deafblindness, who will then distribute to the other programs. But it is only one year's worth, so keep an eye on it.

Special education isn't a "nice thing to have." It isn't "charity" or doing something to make us feel better. It is a right. The right to a Free Appropriate Public Education is codified in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, signed by a Republican president.

D'Alessandro's Pizza is a greater source of pride than Christopher Columbus.

I've long felt Italian American pride would be better served by someone other than Columbus, who never set foot on mainland North America (he may be "credited" with Europe's discovery that Puerto Rico existed). He brought enslavement and disease to the Caribbean and exploited and abused the natives.

The peace treaty William Penn and Lenape Turtle Clan leader Tamanend established in 1683, when the Quakers colonized the area, lasted until 1755. Penn's successors, however, altered the terms of the treaty, and the Lenape were largely pushed out of the area (not without resistance).

20 Local Native American Place Names and What They Mean Moyamensing? Shackamaxon? Conshohocken? What the world looked like to the Lenape when they lived here.

Here's a little longer list:

Garden flag featuring rainbow-colored bear paw print with black line drawing of mountain landscape on paw pad. Above the claws of the paw print is the word INDIGENOUS in black, and below is PEOPLE'S DAY in red. The top and bottom of the flag have red, blue, white, and yellow patterns in the style of Southwest Indian weaving.

Philadelphia sits on the historical homeland of the Lenape along the west bank of the Delaware River. I grew up with street and neighborhood names derived from Lenape: Manayunk (place where we drink) Tulpehocken (land of the turtles), and my favorite - Moyamensing (place of judgment/pigeon poop). 🧵

I'm glad I can still be disgusted when he comes out with things like this. And what a hollow human being - there is genuinely nothing there but the basest emotions.

The most dangerous form of government is theocracy. 

Because the only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they're on a mission from God.

God bless the hostages. Giving thanks for their release and mourning those who were murdered in custody.

Hundreds of Portland, Oregon, residents rode their bicycles in the nude to protest U.S. President Donald Trump’s continuous threats to send the National Guard to the city.

This seems like a good time to remind everyone that Donald Trump’s first appearance in the New York Times was when the Nixon Justice Dept. sued him and his father for refusing to rent apartments to black people.

The membership discount we get along with the free tote bag is everything to me.

Stay Weird Portland! 🔥 Today Portland had an emergency naked bike ride to the ICE facility. IN THE RAIN.

It was around 50°. Thousands were fully nude, half nude, or wearing costumes.

Portland is VERY dedicated to exposing the absurdities of injustice.

Here are some photos & videos. 🧵👇🏼

The search on Mar-a-Lago happened in August 2022. Jack Smith was appointed Special Counsel in November 2022.

Time, how does it work

SUITED UP AND REPORTING FOR DUTY 🐸

They Came for Our Neighbors. We Showed Up. Before long, there were dozens, and then hundreds of people in the streets, watching and responding.

My latest is the story of how my community has rallied to protect and defend our neighbors in recent days, as ICE has targeted the Rogers Park neighborhood in Chicago. "This is not a story about a moment of victory, but a moment of being reminded of our power."
