After 30 years contributing to Chicagoland as a small business owner and taxpayer, ICE detained him, ignored his medical needs, and he died in custody. This system is cruel, reckless, and must be held accountable.

- Reposted by Dorothy R. Santos, Ph.D.4 Republicans voting against is significant. There's leverage there. Somewhere. There's concern that this isn't a winning move in swing districts. Echoes of the Virginia election.

As of today, this is literally information that you cannot find on Google.

- I’m so proud of @aphid.org for making, not one, but two artworks this year. A year that has been extremely challenging and filled with grief, loss, and deep sadness (for so many of us). Yet A found it in themselves to make deeply challenging and beautiful work. 😭🥹🥲 stegi.radio/show/transmi...

- Sooner or later (if not now, really), friends will have nothing to talk about. Thinking of the Betazoid character, Tam Elbrun, who would get irritated talking to people because he knew what they were thinking so he would just say it or interrupt them mid-sentence. Yet again, 💩 nobody asked for. 🙄

- Extremely proud of @aphid.org for tirelessly working on two artworks this year! enhance-redact being one of them. This work explores medical imaging, cancer surveillance, and transmission. It’s so much more than these words. I always tell Abram how deeply poetic their work is. ♥️

- I thought this book would make us laugh. But I started reading them out loud to @aphid.org and we were both finding each entry activating. 😵💫🥴 Clearly, every excuse is anonymized. Real talk, I felt like I was reading Raymond Queneau’s Exercises in Style (99 literary variations of the same story)!

Many of them are currently struggling and are being DEFUNDED. Local action matters on this front. Don't sit back until those libraries are gone before taking ACTION.
