Under the program all families, regardless of income, can get their child care fees covered.
Proponents say the program will help the economy, improve education, and boost child welfare.

#CancelSpotify
They are running ICE ads.
They aren't the only company, but I think we should make an example out of Spotify and do an economic boycott against companies supporting masked, armed agents terrorizing innocent Americans with impunity.
Spread the word.

If you want to pursue something, don't be discouraged by how long it may take. The time is going to go by anyway. You can either be moving toward something you want to see happen, or not.

If you are on ICE watch in the Rogers Park vicinity please have a buddy and exercise extreme caution. ICE has assaulted verifiers today and arrested at least one of our people. If you are vulnerable to ICE in this area, I recommend staying inside if possible.

This is my main takeaway from @aclu.org's recent training for protesters: if questioned by law enforcement officers, confine your responses to these five sentences.
Otherwise, STFU.
Five Key Phrases
Am I free to go?
I wish to remain silent.
I do not consent to this search.
Am I under arrest?
I want to speak to a lawyer.

The Social Media Trend Machine Is Spitting Out Weirder and Weirder Results
Trends always have an element of randomness, but our algorithmic feeds have made them unintelligible.
I wrote about the Labubu Dubai chocolate Love Island matcha latte of it all. There really has been a material change in how trends are produced and which ones are capable of catching on with huge audiences. Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

A photo of Anas Al-Sharif and his Al Jazeera colleague Mohammad Qrere in their press bullet proof vests looking at their phones. Both are reported killed. Photo credit to Motassem A Dalloul.
BREAKING: One of the most important and prominent reporters on the ground in Gaza has been Anas Al Sharif.
He - and several other Al Jazeera journalists - have just been assassinated by Israelis forces whilst in their press tent in central Gaza.
Speechless.
