Seriously those massive plastic Halloween decorations are going to end up in a landfill. Just stop.

They should be boycotted year-round, but let's make sure to send Nestle a clear message at #Halloween - no Kit Kats or Smarties!

Epstein Survivor Lisa Phillips: Everyone makes it about Trump and Epstein, but it’s about this whole ring of men. That’s what makes me upset, because we know they were there. We saw them. We know there were royalty, princes, very powerful people in academia and tech, and we saw them at parties.

This is the best political news I’ve seen in a very long time — so please pass it on👇

Each state can limit Citizens United in their own state & they don’t have to wait for other states to do it.

Went to Chicago for a wedding, stayed for the rally! It was a treat to hear Pritzker in person.

Just to hammer this home- there are no societal problems for tech to solve. We already solved then. We know how to do clean energy. We know how to cut emissions. We have the resources to feed and house everyone. We've shown UBI and univ. healthcare work.

We just need to care enough to DO all of it.

The greatest difference we could make to our future generations is not…any of the shit we hear people saying about tech.

It is learning how to care for each other enough to create and hold a real, lasting peace.

If you are a federal worker, there are several credit unions and other financial institutions that are offering zero interest loans during the government shutdown.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children
Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

I hope everyone is sharing the boycott guide all over on the regular, but if I could ask for one restack right now, it would be this. We are at the stage where the fascists try to silence us. I refuse to be silenced and I know you to do to, but it may not be our choice.

It will always baffle me how easily people will believe that the poor, the sick, the marginalized, and the immigrant are the cause for all their problems, rather than the people in the most powerful positions in their country who refuse to fix problems and exploit them instead.

The good news is that there are a lot of strong voices, and we need them all. They're just pulled in so many different directions, and while some media, like @meidastouch.com are doing a great job, we're still up against the behemoth MSM, conservative talk shows, indifference, and hopelessness.

“Expanding the average car length from 5 meters (16.4 ft) to 5.5 meters (18 ft) decreases street parking spots by 9.3%, while an additional expansion to 6m (19.7 ft) causes a further loss of 7%…the growing share of larger vehicles has caused many on-street parking spots to effectively disappear.”
Meet the Montreal Mayor Who Declared War on SUVs
Oversized vehicles are devouring street parking spaces in the Canadian city. So one borough’s mayor is fighting back with bigger fees for hefty trucks and SUVs.

Political candidates are NOT “all the same.”

One might be disappointing, or even a truly awful leader, but another might be a nightmare-level dystopian apocalypse that destroys democracy, the rule of law, the very notion of facts and reality, every established human right, & the entire world order.
