"This escalation of violence is targeted and intentional and pre-meditated," Illinois Gov. Pritzker says of the Trump admin.'s deployment of the National Guard to Chicago.

"Trump's deranged depiction of Chicago ... was just complete BS."

.... and they returned to their apartments with their belongings gone or destroyed and some had their doors unlockable.

Apparently, the new complex owner wants to redevelop to luxury units and this is one way to terminate leases and get rid of all of the tenants.

Neither blacks nor women nor poor people had a voice when the Constitution was framed. So itโ€™s hard to see why we should tolerate all this whining.

Previous generations fought fascism in nearly every corner of the earth. Today itโ€™s on our streets, silencing opposition and attempting to control the airwaves.

The GOP has declared all out war on free speech. Itโ€™s up to us to fight for it.

In 2070, Florida will have been โ€œAmericanโ€ longer than it was part of Spain. Iโ€™m even being generous and subtracting the 7 years the British owned it.

It almost as if, weโ€™re a nation of contradictions, where Spanish speakers are as innately a part of this country as any whiny WASP descendant.

October is the color of change. ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ

We are witnessing the passage of an era, and for many, the loss of belief in an ever-progressing world of promise.

We grieve & defy this together!

Trump sending troops from California to attack Oregon is an invasion under state law. The governor of Oregon has an obligation to protect citizens of the state from such an invasion. Obviously Trump knows this. He wants a civil war.

Everyone knew about Sean โ€œDiddyโ€ Combs. Everyone knew about R. Kelly, Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby, and Jeffrey Epstein. Everyone knew about Donald Trump. Iโ€™m so tired of people protecting rich perverts, keeping their dark secrets for decades. So damn tired.
