I wrote a little something about my work documenting #loveandstruggle in the CHI for @PoetryFound to coincide with their #SignsOfResistance exhibit. Check it out here: https://t.co/2CZykq8krM #LoveAndStrugglePhotos #MovementPhotography

Our emergency newsletter on the raid of the Atlanta Solidarity Fund! A succinct digest of reportage and ways to support. Share! (and subscribe if you are interested in what we do and in abolition news from our area!) https://t.co/zEmegayNHn

come honor jordan neely, a black unhoused tenant murdered in the subway yesterday by a white marine. this vigilante terror is a direct result of nyc’s cop mayor and the crime panic, which scapegoats the victims of real estate for the consequences of real estate greed.

One of the main features of living in a carceral state is through the deployment of regular people as Cops. Focusing solely on removing the police from “mental health crisis situations” or abolishing police forces isn’t even enough. We need to decarcerate *ourselves.*

Can you help us transcribe essays from incarcerated writers? Come type for liberation over Zoom on May 4, at 8pm. In The Belly is a journal for Incarcerated people practicing abolition. It is free for all incarcerated people. https://t.co/dW0WkM4V7d

Happy to see so many folks I love & admire on this list, including my bestie @monicatea2 on the Arts & Culture subcommittee. Undoing & healing & getting to the root causes of decades of harm and organized/systemic abandonment is a helluva task; lots of work ahead for all of us!

Our MAYOR, Chicago. @Brandon4Chicago is our MAYOR. • #BrandonIsBetter #BrandonIsMayor #WeDidIt

Tonight, we have shown the world the power of hope, the strength of organizing, and the might of our collective voice. Tomorrow, the real work begins. We will build a safer, stronger Chicago that reflects the hopes and dreams of every one of us — together.

Our family’s all in for @Brandon4Chicago cuz we want a mayor who has been& will be accountable to the movements for justice in this city. So glad #ThisYoungAdult’s first mayoral election includes a candidate we can wholeheartedly vote for. #BrandonIsBetter #Artists4BrandonJohnson

🧵 It wasn’t that long ago. On the 55th anniversary of the day he was assassinated…here are some photos of my father in color. #MLK #MLKLegacy #MLK55

Thank you for these facts @SharlynDGrace. A 🧵.

I find real value in @JaymalGreen endorsing Vallas. It teaches us how unprincipled people can be. This is a learning opportunity for us to strengthen our ethics and raise our standards for what we allow in and near movement spaces.

Love this so much. #NoCopAcademy #StopCopCity

Who held it better?? 📢 @johncusack 📷: @sarahdashji

This might be the first photo I ever took of @Brandon4Chicago back in 2012. Funny thing is my daughter was w/ me on this march & we ended up in the parking lot of her school (which is where the photo was taken), & her eyes got big as she asked me “Are we gonna occupy my school??”

My mother can’t sit up, stand, walk, feed herself, and according to the doctors probably has dementia. The doctor told us yesterday they wouldn’t discharge until we had a plan but here we are being told to leave by tomorrow. We’re appealing which buys us a couple days but still…

Our first face-to-face meeting with the doctor was yesterday and that was the first time she and the hospital social worker told us they couldn’t do anything more and we needed to take her home or put her in a long-term care facility.

So my 81 year old mother who has been hospitalized at @NorthShoreWeb (Glenbrook Hospital) for over 3 wks was given a discharge date of tomorrow even tho her potassium levels are unstable & we don’t have a care facility lined up (they told us yesterday to find one). Is this legal?
