A whole ass party bending over backwards to not pay people in the middle class their wages when it’s $20/lb for ground beef

Actually, it really matters whether your electeds are progressive. We are often frustrated on the left at what electeds can deliver, but we have to remember moments like this. Paul Vallas would NOT have created ICE free zones.

Here’s the CBS News report about ICE making bogus 911 calls and filing false police reports in Chicago.

I hope half the questions are about his sexual harassment and using taxes to pay for his defense and cover ups. That should’ve always been the primary focus of coverage of this abuser.

Judge refuses to issue a TRO on the TXNG troops heading to IL tonight. Simply suggests the fed govt not move forward with NG, gives parties until midnight Weds to read filing, schedules hearing for Thursday.

He lobbied for Andrew Tate to be released from Romanian house arrest and flown here in a private jet! Yeah of course he’s a rich piece of shit.

Funnily, a few months ago Eufy lost a ton of parent users when they started to force them to view really trashy ads before they could check in on their kids. I didn’t bother giving our Eufy cameras away, I threw them in the trash.

RFKJ also has popularity among white wellness women who are more likely to be prochoice than rabid anti and wouldn’t react positively to him restricting abortion even more.

Hopefully the whole Bari Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tell wealthy people exactly what they want to hear.

I’m looking forward to more people realizing how incompetent Bari Weiss is. People who aren’t chronically online never heard of TFP, how are 60 Minutes viewers gonna react to the person who just platformed a creepy old man obsessed with β€˜finding virgins’?

They’re buying the rag that just last week published a weird virgin obsessed article by a man who’s been obsessed with finding virgins his whole life? And hiring that bigot dullard? lol lmao even

IL has to file now that OR’s emergency TRO was granted based on the likelihood the NG moves are illegal.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

Some see housing stock and affordability as underlying reasons why migrants landed in Black Chicago neighborhoods β€’ The TRiiBE As three Black neighborhoods were at the top for permanent migrant housing, residents are looking for all forms of government to put their communities first

Lots of questions about living conditions in South Shore following the federal agents militarized raid earlier this week.

This piece provides some historical context and framing around how Venezuelans landed in the predominantly-Black Chicago neighborhood.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.

I’ve also been wondering where all the freedom tech is in response to these restrictions. 20 years ago you could jailbreak iPhones and iPods and download apps that weren’t approved by a corporation’s App Store. Why isn’t this a standard thing we all do by now?

Don’t worry, since most ads are for pharmaceuticals they’ll have bastardized versions of 80’s pop songs to rely on.

Our military regularly uses sexual assault as a part of warfare, rape is a standard part of our prison industrial complex, and now it comes for the rest of us.

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

Why did @govpritzker.illinois.gov send out Illinois police to limit protests at Broadview? Why is a progressive governor shielding illegal ICE activity from peaceful protesters? Why are our state tax dollars devoted to Trump’s agenda?

In case you haven’t heard of her, Bari Weiss is a racist dullard whose whole adult life and career has been complaining about nonexistent censorship of the right. Just yesterday her publication platformed a virgin obsessed old creep.
