In Chicago, @aldermanmattmartin.bsky.social has put out a call for community activism.

But I think anyone outside of Chicago can help, too.

Reach out to your own reps and demand action.

This family needs to be together.

Never mind every other single abominable or corrupt thing to this miserable moment, the extrajudicial and unevidenced execution of 34 human beings by the U.S. Navy on the orders of a U.S. President acting in peacetime is sufficient for his impeachment and conviction.

If we were a republic, I mean.
C’mon, universe…could you leave some part of Chanea’s life alone?!? I’m so sorry to hear all this is happening

If given the chance, I'd lose my legs all over again to serve in our great military.

The leader of your party is a five-time draft dodger who has fired more Veterans than any other president in our history.

Square that circle then tell me who really hates our military.

Having been involved with this report for the past 5 years, overall takeaways IMO are:

- Good news: we know (in great detail) the things the 🌎 needs to do to stay w/in 1.5°C!
- Good news: we are doing many of the things!
- Bad news: we’re not doing ANY of the things at the necessary speed or scale!
BREAKING: The #StateOfClimateAction 2025 finds the world is failing to act fast enough to combat the climate crisis and secure a livable future, with no indicators of global climate action currently on track for 2030. 🌏🌡️

I lived with my dad when I was very young and he didn’t apply for food stamps or free school lunches, though we qualified.

So, I went hungry. It was awful. I begged neighbors for saltine crackers. I can say it was the worst time of my life.

Children shouldn’t go hungry. Restore SNAP benefits.

TN-7 CANDIDATE REP. @aftynbehn.bsky.social: “The victims have waited long enough. They deserve the truth - not more cover-ups to protect the powerful… if elected I’m a vote to release the Epstein files. Full stop. I can’t say the same for Matt Van Epps(tein).”

@repdangoldman.bsky.social, addressing reporters about 4 US citizens held overnight at 26 Federal Plaza, says the NYPD should arrest ICE agents for excessive force. He also announced a new task force, but no details on who will be on it or how it will meaningfully assist people targeted by ICE

Sen. Kevin Cramer on Mike Johnson: "It may be getting to be time for him to bring the House back into session, if for no other reason to start doing other legislation and perhaps to swear in the House member from Arizona that they're so uptight about."

Over the past five months we've met with more than a dozen pregnant people in ICE detention, some of whom have been detained and shackled without access to medical care.

We're calling for an immediate investigation.

The American Civil Liberties Union is alleging that pregnant detainees being held in Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities in Louisiana and Georgia are being mistreated and receiving inadequate care.

Senator Merkley has held the Senate floor all night—and he’s still going. He’s holding the floor for our healthcare. Our economy. Our rights. Our democracy.

🚨@merkley.senate.gov is STILL speaking on the Senate floor. I’m about to join him there to call out this authoritarian president who refuses to open the government and is betraying the American people at every turn.

🧵 This scene from Bridgeview was just captured on TikTok from multiple angles—

An Uber driver picked up a passenger & was immediately surrounded by ICE SRT agents. She says they almost rammed her off the road.

One of them approaches with a shield. They point weapons at her and grab her passenger.

Less than 2 weeks until publication. I’m still busy as hell working in concert with my community to respond to a federal invasion and regular attacks on our neighbors and their defenders. Any help getting the word out about this book, which I believe can help us all right now, is deeply appreciated.
My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

The President is weaponizing this shutdown to threaten major projects in Baltimore.

Once again, this administration leads with threats and confusion instead of clarity and solutions.

This regime is permanently traumatizing US children.
An Idaho mother was brutally beaten and zip-tied by ICE in front of her three U.S. citizen children.
@ilattygeneral.bsky.social Any thoughts on doing a similar portal in IL for folks to upload videos for review?
