Definitely feeling this. 😩😮‍💨

I'm looking to speak to people who rely on SNAP about what this past week has been like. If that's you, please reach out, or pass along to others. Can be anonymous.

Hey guys I know a family in need that’s struggling. Their food stamps were completely cut and they are a single mom with multiple kids. She has been applying to jobs nonstop for months now and no one is wanting to hire anyone. Is there a way we can raise money for her with it being anonymous?

You could maybe setup a GoFundMe with you as the organizer or someone else who is willing to be the name. I also heard of a service called Meal Train where organizers can setup as anonymous. Might be worth a look.

Happy to help set this up and offer support, I know the struggle too well.

Man I really need a fucking hug. 😮‍💨

I was at the park this evening at just the right time! This is straight off the camera roll, no filter or adjustments. I was tempted to increase the exposure of his face a bit but decided the shot was perfect just the way it was without me monkeying around and ruining it.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov See? YOU ARE NOT PROTECTING YOUR CITIZENS

Why do they hide their faces though? Why are they so scared?

Also, I like how they can't answer a yes or no question and instead just throw a temper tantrum "Wah you have to listen to me! Wah wah you're under arrest for not respecting my authority!"

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.

that’s the stuff

ICE impersonator incidents rise during Trump’s second term | CNN A CNN review has found two dozen incidents of people posing as ICE officers in 2025 – more incidents than during the prior four presidential terms combined.

It's kind of a problem for the 2A that if a bunch of masked men in plain clothes jump out of a van and try to take you if you defend yourself you could go to prison for the rest of your life for killing a federal agent. www.cnn.com/2025/10/02/u...

I just downloaded Mastodon the other day! Due to unrelated reasons but yeah, it's a good alternative maybe?

heinous thugs. solidarity with the hero journalists and organizers on the ground at broadview.
