I had the great honor of editing this story by Emily Markwiese about rank-and-file union members forming connections with grassroots immigrant solidarity networks, and eventually carrying out a plan that stopped someone from getting deported at the last possible moment!

“Well, we’re all workers…These aren’t just things happening on TV. They’re happening at SEA-TAC, at our work. It’s our home, man, and we can do something about it. We have to do something about it.” “If we’re not taking care of our neighbors, then who is going to take care of us?”

Hi I'm not good at promoting my work on here but I wrote this and I'm proud of it and wanted to share it! It's a profile of Fountain House, a cool and dare I say kind of radical clubhouse for people living with mental health challenges. I hope you'll give it a read! progressive.org/magazine/whe...

Where Everybody Knows Your Name

At Fountain House, an inclusive community for people living with mental illness offers an alternative to hospitals and social isolation.

Again: for any big liberal donor who wants to funnel millions into fixing this country's politics, the ROI on buying any struggling paper and simply tasking it with doing real reporting on local news is vastly higher than the same $$ given to some group that does mass ad buys every election year.

The nonprofit that runs the successful, Pulitzer-winning Baltimore Banner is going to take over the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Of all the possible outcomes here, this is likely the best we could have hoped for. apnews.com/article/pitt...

"they're giving the rats birth control in Chicago" sounds like something your grandfather would say at Thanksgiving after getting his wires crossed on several unrelated Fox News segments he'd seen earlier that day, and yet

Crazy how you can orient your entire life around capitalism being the problem and still discover in new ways each day that capitalism is the problem

📸 Dreary winter skies did not remotely dampen the vibe on Argyle in Uptown today as the smaller of our two Lunar New Year parades returned. Always love to make the walk over here for it #Chicago #photography

What happened in the Twin Cities that made it possible for organizations to pull off such a successful strike? And what can be done to make such actions succeed in other parts of the country? labornotes.org/2026/01/how-... 1/3

Skilled journalists in Minnesota have made deep contacts, studied what's happening, seen for themselves what we see without raising a single iota of ruckus Content Streamers have been consistently disruptive, aggressive, demanding, deliberately trying to raise the temperature everywhere they go

Totally agree, I just wish there were some kind of angle to talk about both at once, you know?? like if they’d taken away people’s health insurance and social services and completely fucked the labor economy in order to fund this

Chris Hayes@chrislhayes.bsky.social · 7mo ago

People are waving around 50/50 polling on abolish ICE and in the same poll Trump’s is like 30 points under water on affordability. It’s not at all crazy for professional politicians to think there’s a bigger advantage in talking about the latter!

This is the most baffling book-to-film adaptation I've ever seen. Credits rolled and my friend and I looked at each other and went "...huh!"

Can't believe this is from just two months ago. This shit has spread so far so fast

Something I realized while I was in New York this past week is that despite all of the great reporting being done, the scale of ICE’s war on Chicago hasn’t fully permeated the national consciousness. People know about it in the most general terms, but when you actually describe it, their jaws drop

y'all Kristi Noem absolutely deserves to be impeached but please, please be wary of Dems who try to use an impeachment vote on Noem (fine, but not gonna end in removal) as a substitute for action on ICE funding (real, hits them where it hurts)

Okay, you all are overstimulated. Here’s your prescription. youtu.be/oqrtoFWglMY?...

Folks often ask what they can do, what’s the plan? Friends, we are the plan. Find your organizing home. Indivisible, DSA, tutoring adult literacy, serving on the board of your public library. Do the thing! Think about the ways you’re willing to be courageous, do more than feels comfortable.

Need the Germans to whip up a long compound word for that feeling you get when everyone in the train car is clearly headed to the same protest

NO WAR ON VENEZUELA! Stop the bombings! Early this morning, Caracas was bombed following weeks of threats from Trump that a land invasion of Venezuela would begin soon. This could be the start of yet another war, based completely on lies. Our public funds should be used for people’s needs!
