Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."
Semafor reporter on the funding package. picking up from posts that there's some organizing around this underway, will link those in this thread as I find em
It's complicated
Despite everything we've already seen, I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around the fact that they threw a flashbang *into* a car carrying 6 children, all of whom are now hospitalized.
Fox is reporting that ICE sent six kids to the hospital, including a baby, just throwing a flashbang at a random car
Thousands here now. Absolutely enormous crowd.
People are chanting, "ICE out! Fuck ICE!"
Organizers are taking the street but it's a slow process because there is SO much ice (the water kind). People helping each other up left and right after slipping.
ICE Cincinnati Field Office Director Samuel Saxon, 47, and his partner moved to Cincinnati about a year and a half ago. Since that time, Cincinnati Police had been called to the two places they've lived 23 times.
This should exist in every city in the country.
Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago
lol I think u all were talking about this on @makcapitalism.bsky.social a few years ago when your MLK book came out?
Apologies for the closeup 🥴😂
Singing the song I wrote after Tortuguita was murdered at an online hoot organized by a friend yesterday.
I filmed this FBI raid of an allegedly fraudulent Somali owned business outside of Minneapolis almost two weeks ago. The New York Times and KARE 11 were also there.
Now I have Republicans telling me this has never happened, and Democrats telling me I’m colluding to film a fake raid.

I was working with my Spanish teacher on expressions using "por" and all the examples I made up were about Dick Cheney, como:
Por fin, el ex vicepresidente se murió.
Toda la gente no está viviendo, por ejemplo el ex vicepresidente
Por casualidad, oíste que el ex vicepresidente se murió?

LAPD Sgt Charnock just told two white, publicly drinking revelers that LAPD was about to start shooting things at the street to get people to clear the intersection.
SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.
Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:
* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled
* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages
Whoa. Chicago mayor calls for a general strike; now we're talking

An artillery shell fired during 250th anniversary celebration of the Marine Corps at Camp Pendleton on Saturday detonated prematurely over Interstate 5, damaging a California Highway Patrol vehicle on JD Vance's security detail www.nytimes.com/2025/10/19/u...
It was mass protests with no discernible objective in 2016 that convinced me to finally seek out an organization. Spending your time introducing people to organization is prob a more useful thing to be doing than shaming people that go to the "wrong" type of protest.
More feds and protesters have arrived. Maybe 100 neighbors here now. Close to 50 Feds. Agents appear armed with a full assortment of chemical munitions.
Protesters moved 30+ feet back as agents with tear gas launchers moved to the front line.
It’s also 86° in Chicago rn.
Wow with so many cops living in the city of Simi Valley I'm very surprised something like this could happen. How does anti-Black racism get fostered in the youth in a city full of cops? 🤨
Looking forward to discussing Assata Shakur's presentation to the New Afrikan Women’s Task Force from 1993 with
