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.

You trust the lying GOP to hold a vote? Amazing. May you lose your seat.

Sarah Kendzior was right about everything. Absolutely everything. The do-nothing, status-quo, Vichy Dems must go.

@schumer.senate.gov You brought us this after 4 years of do-nothing Garland and Smith. Don't you DARE help this dictator. You ought to demand that D.C. and Puerto Rico get statehood, and to expand the Court, but we'd settle for you not saving 47 who is paying bounty hunters to kidnap citizens.

It's a fuck you to everyone who showed up for No Kings. It's a fuck you to every Democrat that voted on Tuesday.

Fuck @schumer.senate.gov and any Dem senator who caves to the madman in the WH and his band of creeps. Just burning with rage right now.

Big hugs. That's my old el station. I am heartbroken at what Rogers Park is being put through.

ICE agents raid South Shore apartments; Trump says Chicago could become military training ground ICE agents raided a South Shore apartment building overnight as the city braces for a possible military deployment.

Chicago, Illinois, 2025:

"They had the Black people in one van, and the immigrants in another van."

"They was bringing the kids down, had them zip-tied to each other."

"I kept asking, 'What is the morality?' One of them laughed. He said, 'Fuck them kids.'"

I just couldn't stop thinking about how weird sperm whale mouths are and yet how perfectly shaped for inserting giant squid into

Chuck Schumer, in an hour from now: The president plans to flood the streets with military personnel to oppress innocent people, but what he should be flooding the streets with is tax credits for the middle class!

I believe they actually *can*, now. Whether or not someone will...

Trump: "The ones that are run by radical left Democrats -- what they've done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles. They're very unsafe places & we're gonna straighten them out one by one. This is gonna be a major part for some people in this room. That's a war too. It's war from within"

ICE Nazis in Chicago tried to kidnap a food delivery worker but my man was too fast for those slow bastards

Feds in military gear flood downtown Chicago; top border official says arrests based on 'how they look' The immigration agents were spotted making arrests in downtown Chicago and River North neighborhood early Sunday.

In which a top US Border Patrol official, incredibly, tells my tall and Anglo colleague @chipmitchell1.bsky.social that he's not the type they're looking for as they go about downtown Chicago arresting people based on "how they look"

This entire thread is a revelation. I am not a young person. 😅

Jeffries is every bit as bad as the placeholder Biden-Harris Administration that did not save democracy and spare us all this by finishing what the J6 Committee handed them, putting Trump in prison, and expanding SCOTUS. They have all breathed the same mild, "civilized" airs for too long.

Good luck to all of you. Saw the clips from Broadview. I lived there 7 years and my brother is there. LA is on day 115 of this and we knew it wouldn't stop with California.

Translation: "I arrived in Bogotá. I no longer have a visa to travel to the USA. I don't care," responded the Colombian president. "The seat of the United Nations cannot continue in New York," he added.

Ah yes, the most "dangerous" area of Chicago.

79. American citizen.

These people calling for bipartisanship! Even now! It’s a level of delusion that defies credulity.

It is so hard. I cared for my dear grandma for 3 years. The hardest was leaving her for her first night in assisted living. I didn't sleep; ran over there at 7AM. She was baffled as to why I cared how her night had gone: she didn't remember not living there. I hope the same for your stepfather.

What NIJ Research Tells Us About Domestic Terrorism Militant, nationalistic, white supremacist violent extremism has increased in the United States. In fact, the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic...

This is an archived government report that found that “Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists.”

It existed yesterday and is gone today.

all i know is that normalizing debate with fascists has only facilitated the rise of fascism.

Six books on a pale blue background. Text in the middle reads “Mexican SFF”. The books are Restoration by Ave Barrera; The Bewitching by Silvia Moreno-Garcia; Ten Planets: Stories by Yuri Herrera; The Route of Ice & Salt by José Luis Zárate; Red Ants by Pergentino José; and Monstrilio by Gerardo Sámano Córdova

Enjoy some sci-fi, fantasy, and horror book recs from Mexican authors!!

This is such a funny element to the Kirk eulogizing: they can’t describe him the way they’re describing him *and* show clips of anything he actually said or did

As ever. Sarah Kendzior is right, again. The neutralizing, normalizing language from NPR yesterday was appalling. You'd have no idea Kirk was anything but a father, debater, and popular podcaster.
