For a long time I sold books. Now I help people make them. Likes: Lake Michigan, the library, midwestern architecture, mutual aid, birdwatching, my dog, shoegaze. Dislikes: Fascism, phonies. 😎
Saw this same crew (though heavier on the snow buntings) up at Loyola Beach this morning
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.
In addition to unloading on demonstrators in Broadview, ICE is now randomly gassing people going about their day on the streets of Chicago
OCAD has authored a petition for the release of Gladis Yolanda Chavez Pineda, a grandmother and community organizer in Chicago who has been in the U.S. for years. She was participating in ISAP while working through her asylum claim, and was detained without warning by immigration enforcement today.
If you're in the Chicago area and you recognize these tattoos, please shoot us a message. Thanks! 🩷

Hi and welcome to the latest surge in new followers! You're probably here because of protest coverage. Or maybe a skeet that made you mad.
What to know: we are two indie journalists who report primarily on awful guys ™️. We are also fighting to make reader-supported investigative reporting tenable.

I do indeed! I was actually just out there on my lunch break, at that time he was just east, gazing out at the lake
Still there this morning!

Fragment from a delightful evening with Torrey Peters and Lilly Wachowski. 💉❤️🔥
Once house parties were for punk shows. Now they’re for Palestine Legal fundraisers 🇵🇸

Doing what I gotta do 2025 edition
Yesterday’s excess of coffee + news meant I didn’t sleep much last night. On the plus side I’m at the top of my lorem ipsum game
Seriously though this is very uncomfortable, I can’t believe I routinely loaded my system with this much caffeine for so long
Earlier this afternoon I had twelve ounces of coffee for the first time in weeks. My whole body is vibrating 🫨
If you are taking book recs I highly recommend @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social & M.E. O’Brien’s Everything For Everyone 🖤🌱
The post office is under attack! Visit the website of the national postal workers union to find a rally near you- nalc.org. graphic by Justseeds artist Josh MacPhee!
It’s a beautiful day to support the USPS (evergreen)
If you’re in Chicago, a great way to learn more directly about the experience of incarceration - and help people who’ve just experienced it! - is to volunteer for a @chicommunityjs.bsky.social jail support shift! bsky.app/profile/that...

This again, huh?
▶️ THIS WEEKEND ◀️
The postal service is under attack, and we need to defend it. Join letter carriers at protests across the country to fight back against DOGE and Elon’s attempts to privatize and destroy the USPS.
Yesterday, Mahmoud Khalil, a US permanent resident abducted by ICE last week, shared a powerful public statement that he dictated over the phone to his legal team.
This weekend ruled
Love my colleague
Welp, still no Torrey Peters or Karen Russell, but a solid haul nevertheless.
