Masked ICE agents put damper on Oak Park Girl Scout food drive: ‘It’s heartbreaking as a mom’ Federal immigration agents were confronted in Oak Park on Saturday morning by residents blowing whistles as local Girl Scouts collect food for local pantries, rattling some girls and their parents.

Girl Scouts in a Chicago Suburb hosted a food drive. But the girls encountered masked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents with weapons.

"ICE turned it into a scary and what felt like an unsafe environment for us to be out with these kids"

‘You Are All Terrorists’: Four Months in a Salvadoran Prison

40 men Trump sent to CECOT tell the NYT they were beaten, tortured, and sexually assaulted. The details are worse than you can imagine.

We can’t let them get away with this. Miller and the other architects of this sadism need to go to prison.

Disgusting. I want to be in sandwich guy’s team.

The AP tracked down details of some of the people killed in President Trump's military strikes on drug smugglers he describes as narco-terrorists.

They were, with one exception, not high-level criminals. One was a fisherman. One was a bus driver; another a taxi driver.

Gas isn’t $2 a gallon asshole!

He’s ignoring a court order. An appeal does not stay an order.

Nationwide, 24.3% of renter households spend more than half their income on rent; Florida is most rent-burdened state, with > 30% of renters paying > 50% of income toward housing; Nevada and California follow closely behind, both > 27%; South Dakota is at other end of spectrum at lowest #EconSky

TEXT: DONALD TRUMP’S WAR ON SNAP July 4: Republicans make largest cuts to SNAP in history October 24: Trump Administration deletes guidance that SNAP funds must continue during government shutdown. October 31: Judge rules that Trump must follow the law and deliver SNAP. November 1: SNAP payments don’t go out. November 3: Trump Administration says it will only provide HALF of SNAP benefits in November. November 4: Donald Trump posts on Truth Social that SNAP benefits still won’t go out, ignoring the court order and leaving millions without support to afford groceries. November 6: A federal judge ordered the Trump Administration to pay full SNAP benefits. Trump Administration immediately appeals.

Donald Trump’s war on SNAP.

And for people who don’t know, appealing an order does not stay that order. You have to file a motion and usually pay a bond to get that relief. So he’s ignoring a court order.

Utter waste of money.

VIDEO: Day care teacher detained by ICE agents on Chicago’s North Side A day care teacher was taken into ICE custody Wednesday morning at the Rayito de Sol Spanish Immersion Early Learning Center in Chicago’s North Center neighborhood.

Just so we are clear: ICE went into a day care center—a private business—without a judicial warrant, and unlawfully kidnapped a worker in front of parents and children.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.

But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Congratulations to my friends in New York. Now can we please shift the focus to Chicago? (These items are all from today.)

It’s about authenticity. As much as it sucks, I think that’s what drove people to trump the first time. After that is another story. But being authentic to yourself is powerful.

Wow. I’m still amazed by the hypocrisy.

You forgot PA Supreme Court. That was huge too.

I hope this is real and not AI

This chart just confirms what I’ve always known. Women are the superior species.

I’m the wine mom who wants to abolish capitalism.

Great. Let’s recall the presidential election cuz of all the rampant fraud.

YouTube video by Immigrant Defenders Law Center Dia de los Muertos - Shut Down Adelanto

2025 marks the deadliest year in ICE custody since '05.
Immigration proceedings are civil, not criminal. Yet across the nation, our immigrant neighbors are dying under inhumane, coercive conditions designed to break their will & push them to give up their rights.

Funny how so many Christian conservatives keep saying freedom is so important, yet they have an irresistible urge to micromanage other peoples’ lives.

I’m going to use this for my next criminal trial. Don’t get lost in the facts.

“Don’t get lost in the facts.”
