REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

If Noem wants to make roads safer, recall her ICE thugs and send them to Drivers’ Ed. They’re crashing vehicles all over the Chicago metro area. She might want assistance from state and local police to arrest her employees who are leaving the scene of traffic accidents they cause.

Federal courts have now ruled three times that Trump’s U.S. attorney picks—including Bill Essayli, Alina Habba, and Sigal Chattah—are serving illegally. Qualifications apparently optional when loyalty is mandatory.

So much for Trump's 'historic' Middle East peace deal Republican elected officials, right-wing pundits, and gullible reporters all heaped mountains of praise onto President Donald Trump after Hamas and Israel agreed to a ceasefire on Oct. 9, which…

Trump’s so-called peace deal between Israel and Hamas is collapsing less than a month after being announced.

In Jamaica, few foods bring people together like a patty. After Hurricane Melissa, WCK teams, with Chef Corps members Brian & Mathieu & local volunteers, delivered thousands of patties from our restaurant partner Mother’s across Clarendon, St. Catherine, St. Andrew & Kingston.

As we wrap up our #ChefsForPhilippines response, we’re reflecting on all the people who helped us serve almost 3 million meals to families affected by the earthquake. We’re deeply grateful for the generosity and solidarity that powered this response.

GOP Speaker Mike Johnson ghosted the American people instead of doing his job. You can bring him back with your dog whistle. MAGA GOP shutdown.

Illinois will be safer when Bovino leaves. His disregard for public safety has made him unwelcome in our state. Tear-gassing a Halloween parade and dropping men by helicopter on top of a school are just a few of the terrible things Bovino’s people have been doing. That’s why we blow whistles.

Dear Homeland Security:

Friends of mine have mentioned there are roving gangs of masked terrorists attacking and kidnapping residents in many cities.

Also, we heard reports of a convicted felon who escaped serving jail time is on the loose in DC causing destruction.

Please arrest these criminals.

We're seeing a massive institutional deportation and state violence apparatus being built and it honestly feels like people dont grasp the sheer scale of it and what already is in place. For every horrific video of masked feds kidnapping people there are so many people pushing paper to help.

Putin crying 😢

Putin crying 😢

Russia isn't just losing the war, it's also losing the cyber war too.

Putin has now lost an entire bot farm worth $1 million dollars, it has been hacked and taken over by the Cyber Legion army. It's the first of many more to come. A long winter is coming. #opRussia ⛈️

On the night of October 20, Katya was at home in Chernihiv, Ukraine when Russian strikes knocked out power and water across the city. She went to a nearby support hub to stay warm, which is where WCK teams met her and offered a bowl of comforting soup and a cup of hot tea. #ChefsForUkraine
