Given that every Republican’s accusation is a Republican confession, I wonder how many dogs and cats the Crapper in Chief has eaten over his lifetime.

The Pedophile in Chief is going to take us into war with Europe to distract the American public from the fact that he’s in the Epstein files.

Remember One Piece fans as we continue into 2026: don’t argue with someone whom Luffy would punch in the face.

Racism: Two wings of the same bird!

Y’all need to hear this. ALL OF IT 📣

“White leftists are exactly the same as their white counterparts on the right side of the spectrum in that they are single-issue voters.”

No notes. You got it! Thank you 💚

We white leftists have a lot of #antiracism work to do, because punching down on a black woman (most recently Jasmine Crockett) who is objectively more #progressive than the Republican incumbent is not a good look.

Wow, mixing in antisemitism with your racism. How predictable.

Vocabulary word for the day: stochastic terrorism

I Want You to Understand Chicago Politics Chicago 2025-11-08 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. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st. Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…

Saw a commenter on a Reddit story about the Democrat’s sweep of elections last night as a “bluekake” and it is SENDING me!

Byers admits staffing needs to enforce operation of the Broadview #ICE Abduction Facility DROPPED from "40-50" agents in Sept. to 12-15 by Oct. 20th, meaning @jbpritzker.bsky.social's Police have helped free up 60% of ICE/CBP staff to run abduction operations across IL & other states.

Ellis asks how many have been involved at any given time protecting the Broadview facility since the beginning of September.

Byers says "the most we've had at any given time is probably 40 to 50."

@govpritzker.illinois.gov's calculus will be his downfall. Using his police force to protect ICE operations & brutalize peaceful protestors in Broadview, he thinks he can keep Trump from federalizing the National Guard & sending them into Chicago. He delays the inevitable & burns political capital.

Mayor Brandon Johnson signs executive order establishing ‘ICE-free zones’ • The TRiiBE Johnson is calling for a full investigation into “all of the brutality” that federal agents have conducted this past week.

HAPPENING NOW — This morning, Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order establishing “ICE-free zones.”

“That means that city property and unwilling private businesses will no longer serve as grounds for these raids,” Johnson said to applause.

What we’ve learned from recent developments over the past days: a member of a Far-Right political group spreading violence was allegedly murdered by a member of an even further Far-Right violent political group, & the Right & Far-Right political groups are blaming the Left for “political violence”

ICE is acting as Trump’s secret police to torment and destroy our communities. But we aren’t helpless. Join me and hundreds of committed activists at ICE’s main Chicago-area facility Friday morning at 7 am.

Wikipedia quick to update the Turning Point USA entry.

Hmm.

Anyway, when is Congress going to release the fully unredacted Epstein Files?

Hot take: Republican propaganda about how government doesn’t work is so effective, it’s convinced leftists to do the work of persuading non-voters or potential voters to not participate in elections, which helps to get more Republicans elected.

BREAKING: Gov. JB Pritzker says the Trump administration has sent the Texas National Guard to Great Lakes Naval Base outside Chicago, awaiting orders to deploy to Chicago.
Trump administration officials will target Mexican Independence Day (Sept. 16) celebrations. @wttw.bsky.social

‘We don’t take an oath to a king.’ As Trump threatens to expand National Guard deployments in cities across the U.S., this reminder from retired Army General Mark Milley is more important than ever. Critics say Trump’s actions are politically motivated and raise serious constitutional concerns.

James Dobson’s obituary is one that I read with great pleasure.

Sunday reminder: The Bible is a book of wisdom we may use as a guide to love & liberate our neighbor.

Unfortunately, most Christians are indoctrinated to believe the Bible is a book of rules we use as a tool to oppress our neighbor.

Now you have to deal with student loans & ballooning education costs - to keep you uneducated, easier to manipulate & exploit

Did y’all know parts of the United States had FREE public college education until Ronald Reagan trashed it in the 1970s? He was told by an advisor that the US government was “in danger of producing an educated [working class]… that’s dynamite!”

A reminder for people: go outside. Spend time with friends. Enjoy another person’s company. Share your abundance, & carry one another’s burdens. Experience each other’s humanity. Remember & practice daily how to love your neighbor.

🇺🇸 Christians: do not look away. This is what you voted for. This is what you wanted. The complete antithesis of what Jesus preached through his life, death, and resurrection. This will be the legacy of the United States & another dark stain on the Christian Church. A legacy of unmerciful hate.
