New meme format just dropped:

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that?

We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

He has fucking butterflies

Hundreds of Starbucks baristas and labor organizers blockaded Starbucks' largest distribution center in York, Pennsylvania, halting distribution of syrups, coffee beans, and other supplies to the entire northeast.

This escalation is part of @sbworkersunited.org's ongoing strike.

Democrats made the government shutdown retroactively their fault by caving to Republicans for 0 concessions

Ooooooh brother, this guy stinks!

A utility box with pink text scrawled on it: nearly 42 million Americans have lost their LINK/EBT benefits

We’re at the stage of dystopia where people are scrawling out the lore as graffiti so that gamers will have the proper context

Hello Chief and APD Leadership, I just wanted to jot a quick thank you note for those who participated in this meeting with the Latino community about ICE in our neighborhoods. Sadly, this problem is not going away anytime soon. Historically, the police have been on the wrong side of history during the civil rights movement and the labor movement - defending capital. The pivotal points in American history are when police realized that their solidarity should be with labor; not capital. Labor vs. police: Learning from working-class history Workers World In this current struggle, I believe that we are 2-3 years away from a moment where we see the shift in solidarity. I would like to see Aurora lead, and show something different. It will create discomfort during the transformation. I noticed during the march towards Blue Kangaroo, when the police escort disappeared, that activists I didn't know used their vehicles to block the intersections and protect the marchers.

All living things have the capacity to evolve and grow. Government is about to go through a huge evolutionary period and shed that which is not necessary, and re-focus on what is important. As government continues to disintegrate from the top down, we have an opportunity to re-invent the ways we find food, water, shelter and protection. We would like the Aurora Police Department to play a historic role in defending the United States of America, and our city against fascism. We have a unique opportunity to do something different, leave our mark in the history books, and make a difference. I'm excited about the opportunity and look forward to discussing it further. Respectfully, John Laesch Mayor, City of Aurora laesch@aurora.il.us

I haven't seen people here mention this letter from the mayor of Illinois' 2nd-largest city (Aurora, 40+% Latino)

to the Aurora Police

following egregious attacks by immigration in Aurora and related protests

So here it is!

US political parties moved so far right that the Democrats also are having a neo-nazi scandal??

JB PRITZKER IS LITERALLY MAKING IT EASIER FOR ICE TO KIDNAP PEOPLE

Why are Illinois State Police helping ICE? If ICE is out-of-control and dangerous, the ISP should stop assisting them

Chicago Ald. Jessie Fuentes' office has released video of federal agents handcuffing her at Humboldt Park Health, as she asked them to present a judicial warrant for another arrest.

pritzker is not your friend

This is how close to an elementary school ICE deployed tear gas

Witness video shows federal agents throwing tear gas canisters in the middle of Armitage Ave today as they appear to be blocked in and heckled by angry neighbors.

This is around the 3500 block of West Armitage.

This week, the Global Sumud Flotilla tried to deliver life-saving aid to Gaza.

Instead, 461 people—including New Yorkers—have been detained by the Israeli military.

They must be freed at once. And the deliberate starvation of Palestinians must end now.

Cops and feds have successfully split up the demonstration now.

ISP standing side by side with Border Patrol.

With zero time for crowd to clear, Bovino orders people back. Tells them it's their one is warning. Within seconds, feds attack protesters.

ISP troopers assist ICE and BP with crowd control. BP tackles and arrests.

we’ve now got two sets of cops—broadview police and illinois state police—moving protesters aside and assisting ice agents as they come and leave through a parking lot off harvard and 25th.

about few minutes ago, state police tried to get protesters to move to the “free speech zones” to no avail.

[on date] yeah i think id identify myself as fiscally EDDINGTON but socially ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER

Chicago Public Schools has announced it will defy Trump's demand to ban trans youth from bathrooms.

Trump will now pull millions in federal funds.

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

The Americone Dream is truly dead

BREAKING 🇺🇳🇵🇸The UN’s Commission of Inquiry on Palestine rules that Israel has committed four acts of genocide, defined under the 1948 Genocide Convention, against the Palestinian people in Gaza.

I used to think the whole idealism vs materialism thing didn’t matter but every time you argue with a liberal you get to the center of the point which is that they mystify all of society and history. They detach institutions from the class structures that created and sustain them
