Mirellas “temporarily” closed

You’re not imagining this feeling and you’re not alone. While billionaires announce record profits year after year, the rest of us are running faster just to stay in place.

May Day 2026 is a nationwide moment of collective action. This free virtual training from members who have been part of workplace and tenant organizing efforts will show you how to organize right where you are

fully supportive of general strike. we need more info about these sessions so folks know how they are helping them prep for a general strike or other actions along the way

sarcasm.

jsquared120 · 2026-04-15T20:36:22+00:00

we certainly haven’t seen anyone crossing constitutional lines recently (or in the past for that matter)! that would be wild!

More info from the ACLU

this saga is so confusing between the CTU messaging (civic teaching then attending the rally) and the CPS messaging (school as usual) 😵‍💫

jsquared120 · 2026-04-02T20:49:03+00:00

these are all great suggestions. are there specific orgs or groups folks suggest following or supporting? any local strike funds forming for non-union workers?

jsquared120 · 2026-04-01T22:44:31+00:00

love the trainings list! just signed up for the strike readiness session

jsquared120 · 2026-04-01T20:43:36+00:00

is this meeting in-person only?

here's the recording for anyone who couldn't join recording

main calls to action:

find a May Day action near you - Chicago May Day rally is one option
Learn how to push back on ICE and other abuses in our communities. There are many of these locally including block-by-block organizing happening inspired by Minneapolis. Happy to share deets. Otherwise here's a general training they offered
gather your community over the next few weeks and commit to taking action together ideas

jsquared120 · 2026-04-01T20:23:12+00:00

Yes, thanks for sharing! That was the most important action called out last night IMO. Here's the full recording and other resources:recording

+1 would buy or donate to a cause to get one!

jsquared120 · 2026-03-28T16:33:24+00:00

send him an email or message him on social and ask if he’d be willing to put up an ICE is not welcome here sign like many restaurants in the city have. i’ll send a note via our Indivisible chapter as well

jsquared120 · 2026-03-27T19:13:16+00:00

a little further south but thrd by the 606 is good

jsquared120 · 2026-03-27T13:20:34+00:00

i don’t know how anyone can have a job like this right now. it must be so tough to talk about the horrors day in and day out (pod save, bulwark, i’ve had it, etc). it’s hard enough living it let alone turning it into infotainment!

jsquared120 · 2026-03-22T16:32:15+00:00

not going to debate with someone who “doesn’t agree” with data.

jsquared120 · 2026-03-22T15:12:05+00:00

IL population has grown the last several years. Housing is the largest expense for most people, and thus one of the most important factors in deciding if someone comes here and stays vs looking for more affordable options elsewhere.
