North Korea is labeled a "terrorist, rogue state" by US media/politicians after dropping a *practice* bomb in the middle of the ocean.

Boricuas beg to disagree. Decolonization is the affirmation of our humanity. We deserve to be seen as humans, Palestinians deserve the same right. Go read Frantz Fanon and then go find your soul.

Welcome @ALALibrary for #ALAAC23 ! Check our table at @zinepavilion and pick up some zines by incarcerated authors. Hey while you’re in Chicago, ask @CookSheriffIL why there is no library in the jail? Why they censoring books and mail? Lets #UniteAgainstBookBans behind bars, too!

Women are the fastest-growing demographic within the prison system and are more likely to be primary caregivers to children. When we disenfranchise people in prison, we disenfranchise families. @VoteTCH will you vote yes on #HB39 #VotinginPrison?

The neoliberal model that got us in the mess we are in is unsustainable and we need to change direction. We need massive investment in public structures of care. This election can determine which path we are taking. @Brandon4Chicago is ready to lead us in the path to care 4 all.
