I wanted to share a GoFundMe for Bob Wilson, a dedicated member of Trap Door Theatre who is currently facing challenges after a serious surgery for brain cancer. Every contribution helps ease his medical bills & living expenses, so if you can, please consider donating or sharing.

Protestors stand outside the Daley center in Chicago, holding protest signs. One reads: IKEA has better cabinets. Another reads: the Arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice. -Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. an American flag flies in the corner right.

Large mass of protestors headed toward the Federal Trade Building in Chicago. Gloomy weather, but spirits were high.

This is Chicago. We filled Daley Plaza. We filled the streets. We rallied and marched in the name of democracy, human rights, civil rights, people's livelihoods, people's lives, our planet, peace and justice in our country and around the world. #HandsOff @indivisible.org

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

How senators are voting on a bill to avert a government shutdown The Senate is voting on a measure to extend federal funding through September. See how your lawmaker voted.

Senator Durbin @durbin.senate.gov, you let us down.

Deeply dismayed to see that Senator Dick Durbin voted YES.

ICE detained Mahmoud Khalil and threatened him with deportation simply for voicing his beliefs.

This is unconstitutional, full stop. Join us in demanding the release of Mahmoud at aclu.org/free_mahmmoud

The more people ICE detains, the wealthier private prison companies become.

No one should profit off the suffering of immigrants.

Two pairs of beautiful hand-beaded earrings. One is an ivory cream pair made of dentalium shells and the other is a dangly pair, made of long thin scarlet red and sage green glass beads. Both are on gold clasps and catching the sunlight.

Let it be known that whoever buys the property will have SEVERE financial consequences. Spread the word. Theyโ€™ve tried to do this with federal lands before.

This February, we saw a 275% increase in new Libro.fm memberships compared to February 2024.

More and more individuals are choosing to support their independent bookshopโ€”and their local communitiesโ€”over Amazon/Audible. Thank you for supporting your indie with us โค๏ธ

In this culture of rampant consumerism, the library is a bastion of counter culture. There one can check out things for free. Great books filled with profound ideas are all available for free.

Buy audiobooks & support local bookstores Libro.fm makes it possible for you to buy audiobooks directly through local bookstores.

Audible was the only subscription I hung on to for too long, but switched the libro.fm recently and havenโ€™t regretted it! Same exact content and prices and you can select a local bookstore to have the profits go to
