If you need to ground yourself in the fight ahead and deep care for your community, I can't recommend @yaffasutopia.bsky.social's offerings enough
Abolish ICE & free Palestine π₯
theyβre abducting our neighbors and putting them in concentration camps and theyβll empty a whole goddamn magazine into you while youβre lying on the ground if you donβt cheer them on while theyβre fucking doing it.
Yesterday, Minneapolis gave us hope. Thatβs what theyβre trying to kill: the will of a people who are willing to fight them.
At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.
Grow theeeee fuuuuuck uppp!!!!!
I got nothing eloquent to say. Revolution now.
You can feel like something is inevitable and still experience shock. Many of us knew something like this would happen, bc things like this have already happened, bc law enforcement functions with impunity, bc ICE kept drawing its guns on observers. But emotional and moral shock can still occur.
When you learn how many "they should have just followed orders" people are in this country, then you begin to understand how we arrived to the point of a federal fascist takeover.
If your analysis of Venezuela starts and ends with one white man then youβre most likely part of the problem. This isnβt the first invasion, it is not the last. Empire functions as itβs meant to. If you believe the above then you also function as Empire demands.
Every empire falls.

From the inbox: Activists in Chicago protested a meeting of the IL State Board of Investment this morning, over Illinois' $100M+ investment in Israel Bonds.
Video posted online by the US Palestinian Community Network shows protestors at the meeting linking arms, and then being removed by police.
Happy book birthday to Sahar Mustafah for your stunning new novel, The Slightest Green. β¨I saw so much of my own experience within the pages of this book and itβs been an incredible honor to share it with others. πΏ
Celebrating another win today. We got Hashen a new tent! He's off the street with his family now at least. Though he's worried since it's a cloth tent with no waterproofing. Can we get him money for nylon waterproofing please? It will literally save him money long term chuffed.org/project/1258...
There is no peaceful settler colony. There never was. Colonization is an ongoing act of violence.
Boycott the UAE and end the genocide in Sudan
www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/10...
More than 460 people were reportedly killed in a North Darfur hospital that was overrun by Sudanese paramilitary forces, the WHO said
The one call to action people could amplify is a trade and arms embargo on the UAE until they stop arming and supporting the RSF. The UAE is one of Canada and the USβ biggest trading partners in the MENA region.

Growing up, my mother worked full time providing care for the elderly and her wages were not enough to house us or feed us. We survived because of section 8 housing benefits and food stamps. We thrived because we were lucky enough to attend good public schools in our small town...
Israel never ceases fire. And even if it did, it would still be carrying out military occupation, apartheid, mass arrests, land theft & more. Boycott Israel. Divest from Israel. Sanction Israel. Genocide is an active project & we are complicit. Action is the only way forward
Fight for the state to do better everyday AND do better everyday. WE are the only care we can rely on, they will never be built for us. They will never do the right thing.
SNAP being cut is an invitation to do the work if youβre not already. The time has always been now!
Close the Broadview abduction facility and abolish ICE

The beloved Saleh Al-Jafarawi has been murdered. We are absolutely devastated. For 2 years he reported on the genocide of his people, just for him to be murdered during the βceasefireβ
The deployment of tear gas throughout the Chicago area is a growing health concern. ICE is deploying tear gas in residential neighborhoods, near children, playgrounds, stores, etc. What are the health implications on our communities?
an Indigenous Peoples Day reminder that borders are bullshit and every Indigenous person from across the Americas deserves to be in the US more than every person of European origin
fuck borders, fuck ICE, land back.
Holy shit, what????
