Protesters marching through the streets of Chicago’s loop, between tall buildings under gray sky with snow falling.
…all around the Chicago loop…
While riding I’ve used their websites to tell Senators Durbin and Duckworth to not support any bills which fund ICE and or DHS.
If you can’t get to a rally yourself, at least reach out to your senators and representatives to tell them how you feel.
Red Line Chicago Transit train is as packed as any weekday rush hour. My assessment is that the vast majority of these folks are on the way to the anti-ICE rally downtown.
I’m proud to be doing that myself. I hope our actions can preserve our right to peaceable protest in the U.S.A.

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids?
Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.
Of all the competitive authoritarian developments of the past year I think the fall of CBS News is among the most chilling. That this can happen to easily and so quickly freaks me the fuck out.

I think it’s a #GoodOmen when you’re having coffee with your partner and the barista’s heart-shaped latté art lasts through your entire drink.
Isn't that Alpha-gal Syndrome?
I’m sorry, but it is disgraceful to be an academic who uses this technology to conduct research. It should be prohibited in all of our scholarly institutions, including universities and journals.
When did we as a society become so mean and unforgiving of each other?

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”
Oh. Not a citizen. But even more to his liking, an immigrant.
The President doesn't want you standing up and speaking out against him, so he's coming after me to intimidate all of us.
But I won't back down — and neither should you.
