the kids are ok

[GoodKidsMadCity @GKMC18]

The best argument for defunding & abolishing CPD! There’s a direct correlation between the city borrowing $700 million in bonds to pay for CPD violence, leading to the closing 50 schools!

[Tenants United Hyde Park/Woodlawn @TenantsUnitedHP]

Cancel rent so tenants don’t feel pressure to go to work sick. Listen to science.

[THE BEST TIME TO ORGANIZE WAS YESTERDAY ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ @parsonshanged]

I CANT WAIT UNTIL WE HIT 3 9/11’s EVERY 2 DAYS AND YALL DONT SAY SHIT BECAUSE YOU BROKE YOUR BRAIN WATCHING 20 YEARS OF GLEN BECK GETTING ALL WEEPY EYED OVER THE FEDERAL RESERVE

[FTP-Chicago @FTP_Chicago]

TOMORROW: We'll be at Willye White Park for our People's Survival Program from 11AM-1PM. We'll have PPE, Winter Coats, Naloxone Kits, Safer Smoking and Snorting Kits, Condoms, Lube, Food Kits, and Political Education. See you all there! All Power!

Also, fun little fact: the free COVID testing program that are offered to students is NOT offered for staff, even high-risk staff (RNs, doctors, etc) at the hospital, who are processing yall snot

[UChicago Mutual Aid @UCMutualAid]

Everyone is struggling so much—financially, emotionally, mentally. Knowing the brutal toll of Winter Quarter on the health of its students, knowing that the students are hurting, and choosing to uphold a policy that benefits neither profs nor students... the nerve

[Naa Asheley Afua Adowaa Ashitey @Foreverasheley]

@UCMutualAid Making that survey and watching the results come in really broke my heart. Students are struggling and it’s really difficult to see how ignorant admin is

[UChicago Mutual Aid @UCMutualAid]

Show Nita love! The Love Train is amazing

[Baby 〽️’s Mommy 🤞🏾🌸 @nita_bud]

Goodmorning lovelies HAPPY FRIDAY! For this Sunday we already have 16 parents signed up for love deliveries. Please continue to show love so we can get these babies warm PJS and winter essentials to go with their love deliveries https://t.co/QRJAO4TDYI We are store running today

[UChicago Mutual Aid @UCMutualAid]

[UChicago Mutual Aid @UCMutualAid]

what absolute bullshit

1) distance learning is still the mode of learning, and if mr. ellison takes a single look into any of the classes this quarter, students AND professors have definitely not adjusted to the new normal

[UChicago Mutual Aid @UCMutualAid]

uchicago admin said fuck them kids

[UChicago Mutual Aid @UCMutualAid]

2) glad that @SGuchicago is actively trying to reinstate P/F because hello? there is still a pandemic? in the middle of a recession?

[UChicago Mutual Aid @UCMutualAid]

this is how to do journalism, ethically, and support student activists

[Tal 🍃 @_talllll]

Today I heard NU pres. respond to student concerns about police aggression at @copsoutofNU protests with a comment about "conflicting narratives."

As the only reporter on the scene 10/31, here's an initial fact-check of things I've heard from admin + the community. THREAD:

[#CareNotCops @care_not_cops]

love to @copsoutofNU @nu_abolition for getting NUPD budget released!! It makes things even clearer; universities profit off the community and spends the money harming them. Imagine the beauty if ALL THIS went to housing, liberatory education & mental care for ALL, not j students!

[UChicago Mutual Aid @UCMutualAid]

Organizing what we have left in preparation for this Friday’s food drive!

[NitasLoveTrain @LoveNitas]

may be able to show love for the both of you! It is getting COLD in Chicago! The COVID is on the rise. Food pantries and pop ups are stopping . The resources we do have are being taken from us. People are getting cut from WIC and EBT every week!

[UChicago Mutual Aid @UCMutualAid]

turns out (unsurprisingly) that c*ps can use our Venmo/PayPal/Cashapp histories—going forward, when we are fundraising for actions, please put some random emojis lol
