Just before Trump’s inauguration, a proposal to weaken Chicago's sanctuary protections was put to a vote. The city council defeated it 39-11, signaling the local opposition to collaboration with federal immigration enforcement.

Tens of thousands of forcibly displaced Palestinians returned to northern Gaza for the first time since the start of Israel's genocidal war.

I see some people are committed to the politics of "I told you so" (which usually involves a skewed and partial recollection of what was said and what was happening) and reenacting the conflicts we had in place of collective politics that might have prevented all of this. Very cool.

One of the best things you can do right now is read books. Buy them. Borrow them from the library. Gift them.
Read history. Read fiction. Read science writing. Read anything that shows you the world is bigger than what fascists say it is.
Read to remember why your resistance matters. 📚💙
