People in gas masks and face masks march forward together, some arm in arm, while one person speaks through a bullhorn.

I have generally been heartened by Pritzker's rhetoric, but we need more right now than him telling us to keep filming ICE. People have been detained for doing that. People across Chicagoland have been brave, and we need brave leadership. We need more of a plan than urging individual action.

hey, cis people. we need you to call every single elected official you've got, now.

Re: today's march in Chicago at 1 pm at 50 W Washington: I have seen some people posting complaints about this march that don't make sense, and I want to respond. First, some people complain that folks should take action in affected communities. They are. It's called rapid response. (Thread.)

So this two-person shop has become a load-bearing element of Chicago's coverage of what's happening with the ICE raids. The least you can do is support em: unraveledpress.com/support-unra...

At least 43 outlets shared anti-trans misinfo after Charlie Kirk shooting: TJA | Xtra Magazine A report from the Trans Journalists Association found that 43 outlets published misinformation about “transgender ideology” after Charlie Kirk’s killing

Research conducted by @transjournalists.org “identified 43 outlets including the Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic and The Daily Beast running with the disproven stories of a ‘trans shooter’ and ‘trans bullets.’”

Mario Guevara

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you…

Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest.

The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

Join the ACLU and Over 400 Artists to Defend Free Speech Jimmy Kimmel was taken off the air after our government threatened a private company with retaliation for Kimmel’s remarks. This is a dark moment for freedom of speech in our nation.

signed this.
easy to do.
support independent press.
support artists.
give trans people money.
fuck nazis.
fuck ICE.
free Palestine.

Everything needs to shut down.

Democrats need to not fund this oppressive government which is being used by Trump to oppress Americans.

National Strike.

Boycotts.

This country, especially Trump and his billionaire friends, worships money. Green trumps the color White.

Gotta shut it down.

Three people and a child play music from a bullhorn and others dance in the driveway of the ICE facility at 1930 Beach St, in Broadview, IL, Sunday Sept. 21.

The scene at Broadview today is calm, no sights of federal agents other than the occasional car going in the front gate. A UHaul truck was backed into the side garage earlier.

About a dozen protesters are holding signs, dancing to Mexican music and yelling “shame” when agents enter/exit.

You can spend today seeking a way to support and uplift the many marginalized groups that Kirk demonized and harmed.

I will never vote for a pro-life candidate and that is a promise. fuck you

Ugh

This is staggering.
Dismantling the right wing propaganda machine is imo one of the biggest and most vital obstacles to the future of this country.

There should be no forgiveness for Ezra Klein, Gavin Newsom, or anyone else who whitewashed Charlie Kirk's image in the wake of his death. They participated in a cleanup job that is facilitating Kirk's status as a "martyr." They have had a hand in the harm the administration will do in Kirk's name.

'Adulthood' review: Josh Gad and Kaya Scodelario team up for corpse-centric comedy Growing up is weird and hard!

I dig this review from @mashable.com. We open in theaters on 9/19 and digitally on 9/23!

On holding multiple truths: Miller says the administration will use Kirk's death to dismantle leftist orgs, and people are being targeted professionally. The people who said this would be used against folks were right. AND there were also already plans to dismantle leftist orgs (see Project Esther).

this is sickening.
fuck these fucking fuckers!

And btw the cool comic shops will carry the #1 of Red Hood even though they were told to stop selling them.
Support them too if you can!

I've heard from many trans people who had to wait out their bans. No one should be banned for "rest in piss" in the first place. Can't you just admit you fucked up and need to fix things? Instead of saying "well if we accidentally burn your house down, that's what fire extinguishers are for!"

yes!
definitely would have said "rest in piss" as a catchphrase!

DC comics planting their flag on the moral high ground on the side of a white nationalist, transphobe while dutifully carrying on his rotten work in the firing of Gretchen Felker-Martin.
The characters of the DC universe would find this despicable.

the entire media ecosystem is just not built or ready for events like this and far right billionaires like larry ellison buying news orgs will only make this worse
