If you have it to give, Maisa and her family are struggling right now quite a lot. I've donated to them in the past. I'm in for $100 today.

I got to just be a tourist for a few days in Chicago this month and had an amazing time! Chicago might be my favorite US city after NYC

Trump says Chicago is an undesirable ‘hellhole,’ but tourists and transplants keep coming • The TRiiBE Crime is down. Tourism is up. And the city’s population is growing. Don’t let the media, or Trump, fool you.

Self-accountability is key. What are YOU doing? How are YOU contributing? What are YOU responsible for?

Judges Alarmed at Spree of Spurious Charges Amid Trump’s DC Crackdown “We don’t just charge people criminally and then say, ‘Oops, my bad,'” US Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui said.

Inside DC courtrooms, judges and defense attorneys have expressed alarm at the tactics being used by law enforcement officers to unfairly charge local residents with serious crimes that carry lengthy prison sentences.

much easier to understand the sheer bloody intensity of the civil war when you have a good grasp on just how terrible slavery was.

Must-Reads and What D.C. Organizers Need You to Know "D.C. was able to respond to defend our neighbors quickly," says D.C. organizer Shannon Clark.

Here's my weekly must-reads list, a frontline dispatch from a D.C. organizer, and my final thoughts for the week. One thing I took away from my exchange with Shannon Clark, a mutual aid organizer in D.C., is that "having great networks already in place" has been crucial. Let's all take note.

Exclusive | Rep. Hakeem Jeffries pays just $200 in property taxes thanks to sweetheart subsidy law Public records show that Jeffries and his family reside in a condo unit in Prospect Heights, paying just $213 a year in property taxes.

Since @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is so concerned about @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social housing maybe he should address his own property tax bill of just $213 a year thanks to a sweetheart deal he supported when he served in the state Assembly that will last through 2032. nypost.com/2022/01/23/r...

And here you go. I honestly do not understand the moral cowardice that leads some of our fellow citizens to not speak out against what's going on.

That white Marine who fatally strangled a homeless black man on the subway got invited to Trump’s suite at a football game and got a job at a vc firm.

They’ve definitely told us what it is.

Narratively speaking, the tightest ending to this screenplay is probably the freed J6 protestors storming the White House to demand the release of the Epstein files.

Which is what identity politics as coined by the Combahee River Collective, was intended to do. Be the center of a critical politic that builds solidarity within and across identities that share that questioning of power, not a replacement for that critical politic.

If he wins in November, he's going to need many competent progressive people who wouldn't touch city government with a ten foot poll to join city government. A long bench is needed. that's a lesson from Chicago.

Comrades, if Zohran wins in Nov, please release a first 100 days Zine IMMEDIATELY. Y'all have our addresses. Hard copies mailed to us & then social media sharing. Lay out the immediate plans, the obstacles to those plans, and CALLS TO ACTION THAT YOU NEED FROM RESIDENTS especially to pressure Hochul

This is legitimately BONKERS.

ICE agents get green light to make unjustified warrantless arrests The agency announced an accountability policy has been rescinded.

SCOOP — ICE employees received an email yesterday telling them the agency's warrantless arrest policy had been rescinded. It's likely part of the Trump administration's efforts to further loosen enforcement restrictions to meet the new quota of 3,000 immigration arrests per day.
