Let’s talk about ICE. This post is long, but it’s worth reading to understand how to protect your right to privacy.

It might sound extreme, but everyday Americans may soon want to consider face coverings for reasons far beyond health or fashion.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

Frogs in slowly heating water is a popular allegory for being unaware that you are being destroyed in an incrementally worsening situation.

But I'm drawing hope from the past week that we frogs may be a bit more aware of our situation than those allegorical frogs. #Hop

Chicago Mayor Issues Defiant Call For A General Strike It was an audacious proposal, given that the U.S. has never held a true, nationwide general strike.

They Said Red America Would Stay Silent. Then It Roared “No Kings.” From the plains of Wyoming to the pews of Georgia, millions stood in defiance of tyranny. Inside are the voices, colors, and conviction of a nation finding its roar.

They said Red America would stay silent. Then it roared.

Millions rose in peaceful rebellion from small towns and city streets to defend democracy and reclaim their power.

Read the story of a nation awake and unafraid. #NoKings

Exactly. I firmly believe these accounts are bad faith digital arms of the regime. Engagement with them of any kind/comments will let them go back and mine your profile for "dissident" behavior

Block them all

Don't engage

Fascists hate joy

In Vietnam, there are myriad little lakes formed from bomb craters—in which lotus flowers grow. That image sticks with me. The Zen master and peace activist Thich Nhat Hanh taught, no mud, no lotus. Without the mud, the flower cannot grow. What will we grow from the mud we are collectively in?

Federal immigration officers wear masks, no name tags — now some drive cars without license plates The Sun-Times has documented four unmarked cars carrying federal officers without required plates, offering another way to shield their identities. Federal officials say they’re meeting regulations.

Illinois law requires all registered vehicles to display front and back license plates, without exception. But to evade accountability, masked federal immigration agents are driving around in unmarked cars without plates.

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Hey MAGA-

Dear Leader Needs You To Do Your Part!

1)Run Down And Sign Up For Active Military Duty & Support Dear Leader’s New (on a hunch) War.

2)As Immigrants are forcibly removed from our land as you requested, the jobs they filled (that you were all desperately suddenly needing) -need filling.

Sen Bernie Sanders reacted in real time—fierce, unwavering, and absolutely right—calling out Trump’s unconstitutional and illegal act of war on Iran.

This is a flagrant abuse of power.

Every Republican enabling this lawless escalation must be hounded and held accountable.

People need to be getting pissed off about this one and voicing it. This is greed. Protected public lands are something to be preserved for current and future generations. Once they are gone there is no going back. Once they crack open the door for this more greed will kick in
