My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

So many graves to piss on, so little time

Soon in my inbox: Hello, it's the Democrats! We have decided to capitulate and cooperate with the fascists. Please donate between 5 and 50 dollars so that we can hire a marketing firm to help Republican politicians like us better. If you don't give, we won't be able to let them strip your rights!

The fuck

ICE out of Target! The Target on Peterson Ave in Chicago allows CBP & ICE to park in its parking lot and arrest people.

If I were @schumer.senate.gov, I would not agree to help Republicans fund this regime on the "promise" of an ACA vote at a later date. It didn't work the last time when they promised to fund DC. It won't work this time either. The House won't touch it.

I swear to god Chuck Schumer better not ruin the bolt of energy that Tuesday shot through Democrats by folding on the shutdown

Me: "There are three years left in his term and he's only going to get worse. … I don't mean to be pessimistic on this. I think at the end of the day, we're going to survive this, but it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better."

Hey @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov: compromising with fascists is compliance. Read the room. Do your jobs. Protect your constituents.

Trump getting booed at the Commanders game

SHE HAS NOT CHANGED!!!

FBI Warns of Criminals Posing as ICE, Urges Agents to ID Themselves In a bulletin to law enforcement agencies, the FBI said criminal impersonators are exploiting ICE’s image and urged nationwide coordination to distinguish real operations from fakes.

Donald Trump appeared to be wearing a red tie.

Bet he snores. Probably has sleep apnea.

But when a toddler sleeps, the parents (Miller and Vought) can finally make progress on big projects.

I really despise this man, who should have known better.

What kind of man works aggressively to flex his power and deny nearly 42 million Americans food benefits intended to stave off hunger just weeks before Thanksgiving?

In a chaotic kidnapping raid yesterday, ICE in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood shot a chemical munition into a family’s moving car. The shrapnel from the pepper ball/spray hit a baby. (11/8/2025)

Our Wins Of The Week This week saw huge Democratic electoral gains across the country in a widespread rejection of Trump’s second term in office.

After this week's elections, look out for ketchup stains on the White House walls!

Let's do the list:
- Fell asleep at desk during live Oval event
- Has twice disappeared from public view for extended periods
- Has unexplained visible bruising, still no explanation for MRI or mid-year "check up"
- Frequently confabulates, makes no sense when speaking
- Weight gain, dishevelment

The Father Coughlin story is interesting because of parallels to the modern era. Wildly popular charismatic figure (30M listeners at peak when US had ~120M ppl). Private broadcasters tried to fact-check, pre-clear speeches, ban him while fans protested the censorship. FDR tried to stay out of it.

Father of cancer patient says he endured 'inhumane conditions' at Broadview ICE facility: EXCLUSIVE Ruben Torres, the father of a teen girl battling cancer, spoke exclusively with ABC7 Chicago, saying he endured "inhumane conditions" at the ICE facility in Broadview and his view of the American drea...

Another recent account

He said there was no room to sleep. People sat up, slept on the floor, standing up. He saw many pregnant women there too. The conditions were unbearable. His wife is horrified by his account.

Her husband was at Broadview one month and she was never able to talk to him. Not until he was already in Mexico. He had been in Chicago for 20 years. Her husband shared that the numbers of people there were astounding. It just makes me think how many people that are not counted/just disappeared.

He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

Her husband told her that detainees at Broadview had to get up at 5am to get in line for one bathroom. He often peed himself. One time he had to wait until 2pm to use the bathroom. You could only use the bathroom once a day. He said the agents would beat you if you used the bathroom on yourself.

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

“I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.”
