Press release from Facebook

Press release from Facebook

Because of the Republican Party’s draconian immigration policies, a brewing institute that has been in Chicago since 1872 is moving to Quebec, citing “increased student visa challenges.”

A loss for the city AND the country.

Disturbing things from Republicans, to be exact.

The same Republicans also ok with the swastika not being considered racist.

They can choose to stop this madness anytime

Meet the veteran who chases ICE on a scooter Clifford “Buzz” Grambo patrols the streets of Baltimore to keep his neighbors safe—and make federal agents uncomfortable.

“I want their morale as low as possible because a team with low morale is ineffective.”

'Brutal and vicious' Blue Line attack leads to terrorism charge after woman set on fire Federal authorities say 50-year-old Lawrence Reed, who was arrested at least 40 times, had “no business being on the streets," but now is charged with setting woman on fire on the Blue Line.

Every paragraph of this is either horrifying or infuriating chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2025/1...

Astonishing to stop and realize that, at any given moment, bands of masked men armed to the teeth are storming churches and daycares, terrorizing entire communities—and that most of the country's political establishment barely blinks.

An awful attack.

Walgreens is awful. It used to be not awful, just not great. But every store is depressing

Yes, we need @duckworth.senate.gov and @quigley.house.gov talking about this. You can’t reform this

Oh they don’t like the whistles? Hey everyone, they don’t like the whistles. If you use them it makes the armed goons sad.

He should know the criminal record of those landscapers. And if he doesn’t, then he’s clearly racial profiling. Fuck Bovino.

This infuriates me on numerous levels.

First, that man shouldn’t be held by ICE.

But how can his wife think, based on what they are doing to her husband, that there is any fairness to the process whatsoever?

We don’t regulate cars in the US but this should be a law here too

Lots of agents about to find out that they are not above the state laws

The UK has tap-in, tap-out on long distance trains before Metra does on commuter trains. Hopefully our new regional transit administration will right the ship.

Forcing people to see what Republicans are actually doing is a great way to get people to not vote Republican. And makes it hard for people to ignore that might otherwise not see it.

This practice was endorsed by a Supreme Court Justice.

The military says 200 National Guard soldiers from Texas and 300 from Illinois have been federalized for the Chicago operation for 60 days. The left-leaning Institute for Policy Studies pegs the deployment cost at a minimum of $647 per day, per soldier.

The estimated total cost: $12.8 million.

Remember those national guard troops sent to Chicago by Texas Gov Greg Abbott? They went home after sitting at a suburban training facility doing nothing for a month. Abbott's little stunt cost taxpayers at least $12M. What an abuse of power.

In the city, the people on that route don’t just not care about transit, they are actively against it. They literally believe murderers will take the bus to rob their single family houses.

This picture says everything about the state of our nation right now, peaceful clergy being arrested and forced face-down on the pavement.

200 federalized Texas National Guardsmen leave Chicago area, officials say The 200 federalized Texas National Guardsmen arrived to the Naval Station Great Lakes in early October, but they never deployed operationally because of legal challenges.

Let’s take the win in the short term, but this court fight needs to be completed or they’ll turn around and do it again. abc7chicago.com/post/texas-n...
