Meta has removed a Chicago ICE-tracking Facebook page.

The move follows Apple and Google removing ICE activity tracking apps from their app stores.

The removals came after a demand from Trump’s DOJ.

Once again, Big Tech is bending the knee to our tyrant-in-chief to protect its bottom line.

"It is ridiculous that antifa has become this boogeyman. If they're going to tell us they are going to find the founder of Antifa, isn't the founder of Antifa...Winston Churchill? FDR? Didn't they lead a war against fascism? Wasn't that anti-fascism?" - me

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.

Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

They didn’t just NOT give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize, they wrote a citation that reads like an anti-Trump rallying cry.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

“The National Guard provides trained units to the states, territories and the District of Columbia to protect life and property. The primary job of the National Guard is to defend the location to which it belongs and respond to state disasters and needs, such as earthquakes, floods or pandemics.”

They didn’t need democrats to confirm Trump’s nominees.

They don’t need democrats to keep the government open.

The government is closed because they want it closed.

So they can continue to hollow it out, privatize essential functions, and use working class tax dollars to benefit the oligarchs.

We’re united with baristas in their fight for a fair contract. And if Starbucks’ failure to bargain in good faith forces them to go on strike, you’ll find me on the picket line.

As the government shutdown begins, remember that one of the biggest deficit drivers of the past 20 years are Republican tax cuts for the wealthy & corporations. The issue isn't programs that help millions of Americans, it's giveaways to the rich.

She was voted in. It’s time for Adelita to show up for work, whether she’s sworn in or not. She needs a group of other influential lawmakers to escort her to her office. Let’s go you dem’s. Take the bull by the horns. Show some solidarity and support. Get this done.

Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown.

Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.

America First. Really?

Trump says we have to throw 15 million Americans off healthcare and significantly raise ACA premiums because we don’t have enough money.

But somehow we have $20 billion to bailout the right-wing regime of Argentina?

We can’t let that happen.

Too often, we talk about homelessness as if it's natural or inevitable. The truth is that it's a political choice.

When then-Gov. Cuomo cut the Advantage program rather than tax his wealthy donors, his decision sent thousands of New York families into shelters.

“Free speech” was manipulated to include unlimited corporate campaign donations, hate speech by politicians & candidates, disinformation about disease & illness from “government” & an insurrection.

The second amendment has been bastardized to condone right wing sociopaths executing children.

When the Right lies about the Left, it's called "Free Speech" but
when the Left tells the truth about the Right, it's called "Inciting Violence."

Trump Cancels Meeting With Top Democrats Ahead Of Government Shutdown The president initially agreed to the meeting at the White House, but then changed his mind, citing "ridiculous demands" made by Democrats.

Donald Trump and Republicans control the House, the Senate and the White House.

Trump promised to lower costs on Day 1, but instead Republicans made health care more expensive.

Now Republicans are causing more economic chaos by shutting down the government.

A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, our healthcare, and the information we receive. Many are now currying favor with Trump to avoid accountability and maintain their power. This is what oligarchy looks like.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

Kimmel will land on his feet—he's already a multi-millionaire

But please know: It is expected that a US Govt that has armed Israel to kill 300+ journalists, commit genocide, & enable famine in Gaza—is also censoring journalists & satirists here

Raise your voice for free speech in USA AND Palestine
