Our last episode of the year is a conversation about what resisting ICE has looked like in Chicago, what we've learned, what it's cost, and where we go from here. I'm so grateful to Gabe Gonzalez, Rey Wences, and Jocelyn Walsh for this convo. This one is special to me. Audio + transcript:

it drives me crazy that the preferred solution for these guys to ostensibly avoid war is to return to the world order and social structures that gave us 100% of prior World Wars

Today, my spouse and I had lunch with my mother-in-law, who was in town to visit. At one point, she said, "And I don't like that man from Ohio either." I was confused.
She meant J.D. Vance.
To a normie from Ohio, the guy didn't even have a name.

Primary them all and block anybody who comes with the “at this crucial juncture the most important thing is that we win.” if they believed that they wouldn’t do this and with friends like them nobody needs enemies
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

Donald Trump has instructed the entire FBI to prioritize finding ways to bring charges against anti-fascists and other activists. Any FBI agent who wants to advance his career now has an incentive to set up naïve kids for an entrapment case.
Please read about entrapment and how to protect yourself.

This whole FBI criminal complaint reads like the whole plot was cooked up by the FBI informant. Naming your group "something something Liberation Front"? In 2025?

I just want to once again congratulate every business and media outlet who tripped over their own dicks to take right-wing outrage in uncritical good faith and ruin peoples’ careers over extremely tame internet comments about Charlie Kirk 48 hours before immediately forgetting he ever existed.

Outnumbering your enemy is not enough. *Strength* in numbers requires a shared sense of purpose. That must be cultivated. Understanding and relationships must be built. This is the work most people don't want to do. To turn moments into lasting movements, we need organization.

Please read this Facebook post from Darnella Frazier about her sister Rekeya, who is in federal custody.

Microsoft has "invested" over $13 billion into OpenAI. Why? Great question. But it's definitely not because the AI products out there right now are popular or effective.

For almost all of human history, the size of your community was: a few families, *maybe* a few hundred people.
20 people dying meant like, half of the population. 30 people angry at you, half the population.
You're literally not equipped to handle news at the scale of billions.

The tragic deaths of Rob and Michele Reiner will stir up a lot of ugly talk about people living with addiction, about whether people in recovery can be trusted, and about whether people whose drug use has caused harm should be supported.
This tragedy should not be projected over wider issues.

There’s a specific mechanism in authoritarian movements that we’re seeing play out in real-time across American media and tech. It’s a simple rule: "If we cannot co-opt it, we must destroy it."
It is the logic of "scorched earth." It's the logic of the Nero Decree and it's happening right now. 🧵
