HAPPENING NOW — This morning, Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order establishing “ICE-free zones.”
“That means that city property and unwilling private businesses will no longer serve as grounds for these raids,” Johnson said to applause.

my Alexa activates whenever I say alexithymia and I don’t know how I feel about that
Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. On Saturday, April 5, millions of Americans are mobilizing to show it doesn’t. robertreich.substack.com/p/april-5-hands-off-our-...
This is heartbreaking and beyond fucked up. If your “administrative error” can rip a family apart and send someone with protected status back to a place where they’re almost sure to be tortured or killed, and your response is 🤷♂️, you don’t deserve an administration.
Urgent: Illegal Activity Underway
Many undocumented immigrants file tax returns with the IRS, providing details about their residences, families, employers, and earnings. The IRS has historically encouraged tax compliance by issuing ITINs to those without Social Security numbers.
“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”
The FDA has apparently raided a company that sells poppers.
A reminder that RFK Jr. believes the anti-LGBT conspiracy theory that poppers cause AIDS.

The government can't retaliate against someone for political protest.
Tell the Trump administration to release Mahmoud Khalil immediately.
🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.

Really important piece in @thenation.com today from Palestine Legal director Dima Khalidi about how universities like Columbia laid the groundwork for the abduction of Mahmoud Khalil and all the other persecutions that are coming www.thenation.com/article/soci...
Becky Burke of Book Island (a picture book publisher in the UK founded by my fellow Tokarczuk translator Greet Pauwelijn) was "detained" by ICE at the Canadian border on 2/28. Her father asked that her story be shared in case someone can help her. He writes:
A nation that kidnaps a permanent resistant for protesting a genocide said nation is responsible for is exactly what you would expect of a nation responsible for genocide. None of this should go unchallenged. Abolish ICE! Free Mahmoud Khalil!
This fuggin guy…Time to go collect my senator.
The President is lying about Social Security as an excuse to gut Social Security after promising not to touch it.
Why? To pave the way for more tax cuts for the rich.
Trump's repeated attacks on "DEI," "wokeness," and the trans community have one clear purpose:
If we are angry at each other, we won't look up to see how big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.
"Woke" comes from a 1930s Leadbelly song about the Scottsboro boys.
Woke meant to keep your eyes open and not trust people (not to end up like the boys). faroutmagazine.co.uk/blues-guitar...
Trans youth deserve safe schools, loving homes, and the medical care they need.
If you have a little to spare and don't have cookie fatigue please consider helping one of these trans and non binary girl scouts meet their goals.

One Chicago biz owner believes the responsibility to uplift smaller businesses shouldn’t only fall on the consumers.
Pro-DEI companies should invest directly into local biz.

I cant believe this. Yes we can download the WHO’s recipe but when it comes to distribution of these vaccines, a multitude of factors like government recommendations and clinical guidelines determine what insurance will cover.
If RFK Jr. decides pseudoscience should reign, what happens?
Five alarm fire.

Notes:
- he speaks slow and deliberately so you can probably listen at a faster speed and be just fine
- the break in the middle it is for a song that feels very jarring to an otherwise calm episode (nothing against Aus-Rotten it’s just two very different audio experiences and i was not prepared)
