Good news! H.R. 9495 – the "Nonprofit Killer Bill" aimed at silencing Palestine activism – failed to pass in the House tonight with a vote of 256-145, falling short of the 2/3 majority needed. Thank you for all the calls and emails today – democracy in action! CAIR will remain…

Chaos, retribution, and disarray radiated from the White House the last time Trump occupied it. This time may be different. But if it isn’t, Illinois remains a place of stability and competent governance. No matter the storm we face, you'll be welcome, safe, and protected here.

Lots of good shit here but the discussion of how the gigification of labor makes working class solidarity more difficult and promotes an ideology that every Uber driver is a proto-entrepreneur is particularly urgent.

Historian Robin D.G. Kelley discusses Donald Trump's election victory and why the Democrats failed to mount a successful challenge.

To anyone who intends to come take away the freedom, opportunity, and dignity of Illinoisans, I would remind you that a happy warrior is still a warrior. You come for my people – you come through me.

Just out! @Harvard redefines the word “protest” “...a group activity, for example—even a silent one— that is explicitly using a space to make a point is engaging in a demonstration or protest." What happens at universities that doesn’t fit this definition? provost.harvard.edu/faq-protests-l…

We will likely not know who the winner of the 2024 election is on election night, due to the way ballots are counted in many of the swing states. So when will we know? Here’s a breakdown of when results will come in ⬇️

It does say a lot that doctors fear legal repercussion for removing a dead or unviable fetus from a woman but don’t fear legal repercussion if that woman dies.

“Two women about to give birth were shot and bled to death in the street, staff said.” As they tried to enter a hospital. A whole year of this with complete bipartisan support from the two major parties.

Israeli troops have besieged the last three functional hospitals in north Gaza, a new chapter in a conflict that has targeted hospitals with an intensity and overtness rarely seen in modern warfare. The AP spent months collecting their stories. apnews.com/world-news/sti…

I’d vote Harris in a swing state because Trump will create worse social, economic, and political conditions for people and for our movements. But a Harris victory creates problems too, including by making the case that the Democratic Party can back genocide without consequence 1/

Israel has killed and maimed more journalists than any other state or group in modern history

Today, the United States reaffirms its commitment to ending impunity for crimes against journalists. We call on all governments to protect journalists from violence and hold perpetrators of crimes accountable.
