If the bill passes, it will make ICE the nation’s largest jailer, with more funding for prison camps than the entire federal Bureau of Prisons. It would give ICE enough money to have more officers than the entire FBI.
Today is day 15 of a hunger strike by 6 JVP members here in Chicago in protest of the deliberate US-Israeli starvation of Gaza. So far neither @duckworth.senate.gov
nor @durbin.senate.gov have agreed to even meet with them.
Why won’t you meet with your constituents?
No, it is you who is having a Magnum for lunch
In three days of bombing, Israel has murdered nearly 1,000 Iranians. That is over 300 people per day. While continuing to carry out massacres in Gaza, dropping bombs & also directly gunning starving people down. Get this malignant cancer out of our region for the love of humanity
Nine years ago the godfather of Brexit, Lord Daniel Hannan, predicted life in Brexit Britain in June 2025. Roll the tape…

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:
1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long
All lies.
🚨🚨 #brexit anniversary: Office of Budget Responsibility predictions of £ 40 bn hit to public finances has proven correct according to research by top economist @johnspringford.bsky.social . www.thetimes.com/article/346e...
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953
You’ll be too young to remember, but there was a time when you could wake up as many as three mornings in a row and not find the world had lost its fucking mind.
“no human is illegal” accompanied by bunny and bird
And wave as many American flags as possible so they can’t present it as an invasion -
No burning them.

If you think non-violence is the truly right way, where are there trainings near you? Who’s holding them? How can you help them? Can you donate? Are you spreading contact info? Do you know how to find trainings in other places?
White ppl have fetishized the fuck out of non-violence. 3/x
You do a GREAT disservice to those who developed and practice(d) it if you just act like it’s some simple decision. It is not. If you want ppl to participate in resisting fascism through non-violence, you had better be doing everything you can to make that training available. Don’t talk shit. 2/x
I’m just going to get this out now, since I know it’s coming, and I can just link to it.
DO NOT FETISHIZE NON-VIOLENCE.
It is a PRACTICE and a DISCIPLINE. The people who employed it successfully trained RIGOROUSLY. It’s not just a decision, because it goes against basic human instincts. 1/x
Thread. Our current group of liberal elites took the lessons of successful non-violent social movements and interpreted them into the "hitting is always wrong" lecture you give your 5 year old.
There is no bigger story right now than the White House asserting that California residents are in a state "of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States."
The image shows the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt on display on the National Mall in Washington D.C. in October 1996. This particular display, from October 11-13, 1996, was the last time the entire quilt was shown in its entirety, covering the vast expanse of the National Mall from the Washington Monument towards the U.S. Capitol. It featured over 40,000 panels and drew approximately 1.2 million visitors.
AIDS Memorial Quilt on display October 11-13 1996 on the National Mall in Washington D.C. Let us never forget.

General chemistry point: if you think you have been exposed to ANYTHING acid OR alkali, the correct treatment is to flush with lots of cold water and SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION
Neutralisation reactions release heat
This is potentially dangerous and damaging. And the new chemical is likely harmful, too

LAPD eventually showed up and rescued ICE by attacking US citizens, ICE joined them in firing tear gas and pepper rounds at people. (🎥 @pplscitycouncil.bsky.social )
It was cruel enough that GFM closed Mona's account but even crueler is they made her jump through hoops for MONTHS while witholding her money her family needed to survive. Mona is real. She's wonderful. Her family is real. Her children are adorable. Please help if you can. www.paypal.me/Hijazi562
I read this piece and thought - can't hurt to have someone raising the salience of underinvestment in local government
So British DOGE's search for wasteful spending discovered that... councils need more money to update their IT systems? www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...
People should ask women what it’s like to go to an NHS gynae or breast appointment in the UK. Vast majority of the consultants and techs are male & there is very little dignity for the patient being examined. But yeah, public toilets are the issue.

The cover of The Lancet with this quote from our commentary: "If we in academic medicine give in to the campaigns against diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, the consequences will include resegregation and fewer opportunities for marginalised groups."
Holy smokes! Our article is on the cover of The Lancet!!!!!!!!!! Nbd 💅
OMG OMG OMFG 😂😂😂😂😂😂
