The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today. Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere. Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.

“We will never know it all, will never have the full set of conditions and dynamics to be able to plot out all of our steps. And we also cannot be afraid to move, even in times of turbulence and unpredictability. In fact, moving in such moments is even more critical.” - @gulabjammin.bsky.social

Fighting Cancer Has Given Me New Insights on the Anti-Fascist Challenge We Face
To resist authoritarianism, our work must be deeply relational. We must act even in uncertainty. Nurturing builds power.

Something I think about a lot is how people with cancer often get abandoned by friends and family and this piece on finding community support through cancer and how that mirrors sustainable organizing helped me make some connections in my brain.

“Mutual care is not just a survival strategy, but also a direct route to community power building… We cannot win without each other.” The wonderful Amisha Patel offers powerful lessons she's learned through her fight against cancer, to inform our fight against fascism. truthout.org/articles/fig...

IL is on the verge of electing a Senator far more aligned with Trump, MAGA power brokers & ICE infrastructure expansion than the values of a deep-blue state. Here’s what Raja Krishnamoorthi hopes you don’t know about him & how we elect someone better.

WARNING: Illinois Is About to Elect a MAGA-Aligned Senator
But it's not too late -- here's what we need to do to prevent a catastrophic failure and instead elect someone whose record aligns with our values

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall. But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

Krishnamoorthi takes money from key MAGA like Marc Andreessen and Palantir execs. And from right wing Hindutva. But says he’s going to fight Trump? Illinois voters, do not vote for this man.

Krishnamoorthi rails against Trump, but takes money from MAGA donors
U.S. Senate candidate Raja Krishnamoorthi's campaign downplayed the contributions, calling them just .2% of the millions of dollars he’s amassed.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

So, talking about do-nothing Dems who gave into the powerful hedge fund managers and tech bros means you’ll distinguish yourself, and close carried interest loopholes in Illinois, Pass the digital tax in Illinois, and raise billions to fund our schools, healthcare for immigrants, and more? 🙌🏾

The first pivot we need to make is to choose. To choose is to move. And move we must. Pivots are made with the ready, not the reluctant. Move in ways that the ready are more and more in relationship with each other. Build community. Model the way that we can be. Teachings of Roshi Norma Wong ✨
