WGN-TV producer detained during ICE enforcement action in Lincoln Square A WGN-TV video editor and producer was roughly detained by two Border Patrol agents on Friday morning during a highly visible rush hour enforcement action in Lincoln Square.

Outrageous -- and apparently in blatant violation of yesterday's ruling protecting protesters and journalists from this kind of shit. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/10/w...

Resist, Ridicule, and Rout Republicans

Normal politics must be abandoned for bold strategies that allow the majority to go on offense against an increasingly unhinged, dangerous, & reckless Trump Administration playing for all the marbles.

Donald Trump is using federal agents to stoke fear and violate constitutional rights β€” all with the aims of expanding his control and sending military troops to our cities.

It’s unlawful and un-American. We must all stand up and speak out against fanning the flames of violence.

The newspaper that lied about WMD in Iraq and was an apologist for Nazi Germany in the 1930s can't be trusted.

Like Sinema, he ran as a progressive but changed his tune once in office. We could use a better vetting system in the Democratic Party.

House Republicans’ tax bill would lead to nearly 11 million people losing insurance, providing a key source of savings to help finance President Trump’s tax cuts, the Congressional Budget Office said Wednesday.
 
The report gives Democrats ammunition to attack Republicans for taking insurance from low-income voters to pay for tax cuts that disproportionately benefit the rich. Republicans say the bill mainly takes insurance from those without jobs who are able to work.

Andry Romero, a young gay man, was given an asylum appointment by the U.S. Government. When he showed up to the appointment we kidnapped him and sent him to a foreign prison.

I asked Secretary Noem to check if he’s alive. Her response was shameful.

American civil society is full of abject cowards, that is the issue. The government is a mafia state but it is winning because most American elite institutions are devoid of anything resembling integrity and are folding rather than stand on principles that were little more than marketing.
