It’s amazing how our agonizingly long election cycles train at least some people to feel locked into limited options long before their options are actually that limited.

If you are on ICE watch in the Rogers Park vicinity please have a buddy and exercise extreme caution. ICE has assaulted verifiers today and arrested at least one of our people. If you are vulnerable to ICE in this area, I recommend staying inside if possible.

In September, we got new explosive details about JP Morgan’s deep relationship with Epstein. The reports contained shocking details about how bank execs blew off internal warnings for years to keep Epstein on as a client, enabling his trafficking.

"Anna, Lindsey Halligan Here." Anna Bower Monday, October 20, 2025, 5:40 PM Share On: f X inK My Signal exchange with the interim U.S. attorney about the Letitia James grand jury.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress nearly a month ago with 70% of the vote yet Mike Johnson refuses to swear in. This is a continuation of the Jan 6 attack that was designed to overturn an election.

"Where everybody lies about everything of importance, the truthteller, whether he knows it or not, has begun to act; he, too, has engaged himself in political business, for, in the unlikely event that he survives, he has made a start toward changing the world.”

Chris Murphy: "This is a country that's falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. We're not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it ...

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

In addition to destroying ICE and DHS, we should probably start thinking about a reparations framework. If they keep records on which officers conduct arrests, we could make individual officers liable to pay damages to their victims.

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it.

But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan.

Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

Ok, sounds good.

This is the best explanation of gerrymandering you will ever see By simplifying gerrymandering we see how problematic it really is.

A decade after it was written, I find myself pulling out the @cingraham.bsky.social's gerrymandering explanation to help people understand why California’s Prop. 50 is so important to pass.

File state charges. This is a crime.

There are some very strange things going on at the Library of Congress. I’m doing searches for news articles from the Civil Rights Era. Political cartoons. That sort of thing. They used to be easily found.

That stuff is VERY hard to find now. Things are missing, people.

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

It’s time to engage in “uncooperative federalism” or a “soft secession,” where Blue states start building parallel systems, withholding cooperation, & creating facts on the ground that render federal authority meaningless within their borders.

A must read from Jeffery.

Why can't those phony tough guys protect themselves?

I’m gonna make it simple since it seems a lot of the liberals on this site right now are having trouble with this. It was illegal to protect Anne Frank and it was legally required to turn her in to the Nazis.
If your reliance on the law dictates your morals you have already lost to the fascists.

What is the smart way to declare war on citizens?

The world can’t count on the current US administration anymore

We need to create alternative databases and solutions

Pro-tip for those dealing with chemical agents:

Rubbing a thin layer of petroleum jelly over your face and exposed skin will create a protective layer of non-reactive gel between you and the agent. It’s slippery when grabbed and will provide a better air-tight seal for your goggles.

Donald Trump declared war on America.

This is going to end with dead Americans in the streets.

There's no plainer way to say this.

Now might be a good time for Democrats to remind people that when they return to power they will not hesitate to prosecute people who murder civilians.

In a sane country with competent leadership, the 50 highest-ranking Democrats would call a press conference to denounce what just happened as a threat to the republic and demand Trump's immediate impeachment and removal from office.

I don't know he could make his intentions more clear.

I wish they understood that
