Every time someone’s like “put that in the louvre,” my head now goes “and then steal it from the louvre, the security password is louvre”

❗️ RALLY TONIGHT. A child care teacher was abducted by ICE this morning in Chicago's Roscoe Village/North Center.

📢 Alderman Matt Martin & @onenorthside.bsky.social announce an emergency rally TONIGHT Wed Nov 5, 6:30 pm at Northcenter Town Square, 4100 N. Damen.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.

But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Normal People Don’t Want This Shit is running away with the vote tonight

if there was a rich person with the will, you could build the most incredible news organization that has ever existed just from the wreckage of this year alone.

I would give anything to see him try to fill in a blank US map.

All of this is true enough as far as it goes. But even more problematic is the fact that when the U.S. Coast Guard interdicts suspect vessels, boarding and searching for drugs, a quarter of the time they find no contraband.

We're not just murdering drug smugglers.
We are murdering innocent people.

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:

$100 billion

Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%:

$100 billion

One is decried as "welfare." One is not.

Why?

“Hello? 911? Someone called their mother’s cousin an auntie.”

A large, white headboard that reads “the future is bright” in rainbow text in a font emulating a child’s handwriting. It is in an unfinished warehouse next to an emergency exit.

Well, I can see how that ended up on clearance.

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

I like bird

Trump wants to DOUBLE Argentina's bailout to $40 billion to save his political ally.

Yet he is doing nothing to prevent 15 million Americans from losing their health care and 20 million from seeing a doubling in their premiums.

Is this what Trump means by America first?

❌👑 FILL THE STREETS on OCTOBER 18. #NoKings
In Chicago: Sat Oct 18th, noon, Grant Park at Jackson/Columbus. #HandsOffChicago ✋🏼✋🏾

Mike Johnson, fake Christian, doesn't think a Republican congressman beating up his girlfriend is "really serious."

No Kings As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

Make your plans for #NoKings. October 18th. Free speech is action. Please join in. You'll see me at one of the events.
www.nokings.org

My plan is that I do not answer that question on this site anymore because "What is your plan" translates out of Weimar dickrider to "give me something to argue against so I don't have to confront my continuing role in allowing this to happen."

after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US.

Trump tried to manufacture a crisis to send the National Guard to Chicago. The judge said there is no evidence of one. We are on the right side of the law and of history.

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking?

Me, the sales manager at the company that makes inflatable frog suits: well, you're never going to believe this, but

Donald Trump is ordering extrajudicial killings of suspected drug smugglers.

He's vilifying his political opponents and threatening to jail them.

His ICE agents are terrorizing immigrants and firing chemical agents at peaceful protestors.

And some people think he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize?

Chicagoans are furious that a convicted felon has sent his thugs here to commit violence against our community. Join us in fighting fascist Republican assholes.

So the big strong guys with guns need protection against the woman selling tamales on the street to feed her family?

We are in late-stage authoritarian media takeover.

Fox and CNN are owned/controlled by rightwing billionaires.
Twitter and Truth Social
WSJ and WaPo
CBS and ABC
Newsweek, Sinclair, now Tegna; TikTok getting close.

We are far along in the Putin-mold media takeover plan.

What's happening in Chicago is not normal.

The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

now they're snatching elected officials

So let me get this straight: a Blackhawk helicopter and dozens of masked, armed federal agents roll up on a Chicago apartment building, cuff everyone—including kids—and then run checks for warrants and immigration status? What the hell is going on in this country? How is that not fascism?
