@nlgchicago.bsky.social is trying to raise $10k to fund ongoing legal support for protesters. They've had to cover long shifts at Broadview, and their volunteers have been repeatedly assaulted by police in the process. More info with ways to donate here: instagram.com/p/DP36ITJja-W/

I need you to channel your GenX & Xennial teenage rage,
summon our grandparents fight against fascism during WW2,
be inspired by our Boomer parents’ dove anti-Vietnam War & civil rights movements &
get out there in any way you can!
Every day we step further into authoritarianism.
Stay safe.

The clock is ticking: @azagmayes.bsky.social gives Speaker Johnson thru end of day Thursday to set swearing-in ceremony immediately for @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social or face litigation. He seems unimpressed, writing it off as yet another Democratic 'publicity stunt.' tucson.com/news/local/g...

I expect it to affect absolutely everyone, whether they are on an ACA plan or not. Whether they are on Medicaid or not. Health insurance should not be for profit. period.

It is unfuckingconscionable.

What they’re doing here in Chicago, the surrounding suburbs and everywhere they’re going is nauseating.

Good song. Pretty blunt at the end

jessicabruno.bsky.social @jessicabruno.bsky.social · 5d

One of the BEST protest songs and it’s coming from Chicago.

I want to hear this at every rally,
every protest,
blasting from cars on the streets,
from cozy home open windows carried by the crisp autumn breeze, from drunken choruses at open air bars,
& friends walking home!

I want to know how the ICEstapo sleeps at night.

It’s one thing to believe the vile lies of racism, it’s wholly another to willingly invade neighborhoods searching for the next victims to kidnap, to hear their pleas & screams, to physically attack while be insulted by horrified onlookers.

SHAME!

There are hard questions we need to ask ourselves right now. But no matter what this administration is planning, we know who we are—we love democracy & plan to fight (peacefully) for it. In a moment where knowledge is power, here is what you need to know. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Are We the Nazis Now?

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day! ❤️

As a great granddaughter of Sicilian immigrants, I am 💯 in agreement with this statement!

Mother Cabrini Day can absolutely be another day to celebrate Italian American heritage and ALL immigrants!
