Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers has been bought out by another publishing company, and our entire team is of course being laid off. My nearly 24 years with this extraordinary little company and my colleagues ends in December. So it goes.
I have a LOT of feels—and expletives: lots of expletives.

I can do this for evictions in Illinois too, if SNAP benefits being cut off or the government shutdown means you can't make rent.

If you're arrested in Illinois for the means by which you acquire food for your family because of the government shutdown or loss of SNAP benefits, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

Hi everyone!! As the holidays approach, it is time for a mass boycott!
Just imagine the impact if people didn’t flood Amazon with holiday orders this year?? If the economy didn’t boom these last two months with billions in sales as it usually does??
Please share this everywhere!!!!

Spotify is running recruitment ads for ICE.
A platform built to connect creators and listeners is helping an authoritarian regime build up its secret police force.
But we’re not going to idly accept that. We’re going to make Spotify listen: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti... #CancelSpotify

Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day, Wisconsin!
Today, we celebrate the generations of Indigenous peoples and the rich cultures, languages, and traditions of Indigenous communities that have been rooted here since long before we became a state.

If you don’t see the link between ICE and the IDF, you haven’t been paying attention. We are being asked to accept a world where whole communities are made disposable and marked for disappearance. If we accept that for anyone, no one is safe anywhere.

What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.

One of the coolest events we've experienced (twice, now) since moving to the area: Doors Open Milwaukee. Getting to go behind the scenes, or simply exploring new-to-us places around our new home city. Image 1: 1950s era pin setters at Falcon Bowl; Image 2: North Point Lighthouse. #doorsopen

True resistance to fascism isn’t posting shitty bigoted memes on social media. It’s getting out in your community and using your position and privilege to protect as many people as you can from the violence that is coming for every single one of us.
