The disappeared: Chicago police detain Americans at abuse-laden 'black site'
Exclusive: Secret interrogation facility reveals creeping aspects of war on terror in US city as accounts describe shackling and brutality without basic rights
Y'all remember that one black site in Chicago that forcibly disappeared & tortured innocent civiliansโtargeting Black, Latino, & poor communitiesโbringing the terror home (just like that cheap Afghan black tar imported by Dubbya to kill Gen Y)?
Homan Square.

Iโm at the New Yorkers Against ICE rally in Foley Square with hundreds of others.
Earlier today ICE agents threw a grieving wife of a detainee to the ground inside 26 Federal Plaza, just steps from here.
Elected officials @bradlander.bsky.social, @jumaane.bsky.social and others are speaking.

The War on the Poor!
Tariffs begin same day as [blackmail] Gov't shutdown: Oct 1st. Congress can only guarantee Medicaid & Medicare for next 3 months, TANF is TBD, & ALL SSI/SSDI applications MIA til gov't turns back on.
This is old school economic Shock Doctrine.
Military Junta... TBD โ

When Jewish Americans are being physically attacked for raising awareness about hostages being held by an antisemitic terrorist group, it is abundantly clear those of us who aren't Jewish aren't doing enough to hold antisemitism accountable. We need to do more. Immediately. This has to stop.

It was a memorial of โค20 mostly elderly & disabled folks hosted by a non-profit โ not a "march under Israeli flags." Were they "attacking" themselves? Cuz they actually wanted a ceasefire, bruh.
Meanwhile, dude targeted the most vulnerable group in the most brutal way & exposed his fam to ICE.

Proves nothing. And nothing excuses burning people alive for merely assembling in public to bring attn to hostages abandoned by the extremist Israeli govt from day 1 that'd ideologically prefer them "martyred." Hostages who are vulnerable civilians & forcibly conscripted teenagers, mind you.

So Jewish-American senior citizens, includ. a Holocaust survivor, "deserve no sympathy" for being burned alive for memorializing hostages? For calling out extremist Israeli govt for its contempt of its civilians & forcibly conscripted teens? Covering-up hostages condemns them death (see: Iran 1979).

The recent antisemitic attack in Boulder is disgraceful and unacceptable. We must all condemn it in the strongest terms and wish a rapid recovery to those injured.
Violence only begets violence, and we must allow no place for it in our politics.

According to Yale University and the University of Pennsylvania, 51,000 additional Americans will die each year if Trumpโs โBig, Beautiful Billโ is passed.
The Republican reconciliation bill which makes massive cuts to Medicaid in order to pay for huge tax breaks for billionaires is not just bad public policy.
It is not just immoral.
It is a death sentence for struggling Americans.

If Musk & his pals are so concerned about increasing the national debt in Trumpโs Big Beautiful Bill, why donโt they cut the $664 billion in tax breaks for the 1%; the $420 billion in tax breaks for large profitable corporations; & the $150 billion in increased military spending?

Oligarchs are addicted to greed.
In 1982, there were just 13 US billionaires worth $14 billion.
Today, while 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, there are 903 US billionaires worth $6.8 trillion.
Enough is enough. We need an economy that works for all, not just the top 1%.

Donald Trump keeps declaring national emergencies. Why?
Presidential emergency declarations mean emergency powers โ and a way around Congress.
I swear "Media would rather ask the dumbest questions you've ever heard than be honest about fascism" is the new "Men would rather jump off buildings than go to therapy"

yeah us on the far left have this wild far left super radical notion that kidnapping children, stealing them from their families, trafficking them to random destinations, and leaving them to basically die, for really just virtue signaling hate and intolerance and white supremacy is bad, actually
