I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

Naw, some of oldies here saw original freakin run! We come from them Traci Ulman Show origins too!

I’m proud we showed up today. The turnout was amazing!!! Inspiring and hope making. No Kings!

Padilla: It’s not just undocumented folks who are being detained and arrested. It’s legal immigrants—even US citizens. We know of at least 170 US citizens who have been caught up in these raids and put in detention centers.

It’s the intended effect of this administration to stoke fear and terror

All. The. Fing. Time.
My brain and heart are whupped

Both Donald Trump and his Slovene-born escort spent years calling for Obama’s birth certificate. I am calling for Melania Trump’s legal immigration papers: How did she get an “Einstein” visa for extraordinary abilities despite her blatant lie under oath about her college degrees?

Funding national security should mean funding housing, food, healthcare, clean air and water for all.

Let's redefine what keeps us safe.

I got another one of those coming in a few days. I can’t wait for some relief. Hugs, brother.

This is supposedly a pic of Donald Trump's mother. I need someone to prove it isn't a pic of Donald in drag.

OMFG I’m dying at this! Spot Fing on!!

If you think that adults taking Tylenol hurt kids, just wait until you read what the adults in the Epstein Files were doing to them.

Christian persecution in America is best defined by this image: No actual struggle, wearing clothes that cost more than my entire wardrobe, polished cross instead of rugged, and surrounded by crowds of fellow hypocrites cheering on bigotry who believe they're the victims.

These are calls for mass political violence, against all Democrats. They openly call for the bombing of "Democrat" cities and for the jailing or killing of Democratic politicians. They are from some of the most influential voices in right-wing politics. Will anyone say anything?

I have no idea what white people are talking about right now. The warnings that the fascists will "use this" to do more violence. WHAT WON'T THEY USE? You've watched them deploy the US military on US soil using bullshit pretexts. What even are you talking about?

I see folks already "it is not funny folks lose their lives to gun violence" and I'm like "yeah, that's what we been fing saying, but y'all wanted to felate your fing guns instead."

I sincerely mourn the loss of life, but I cannot mourn the loss of the plethora of Kirk's words that demonstrated how much he lacked in compassion for fellow humans, how much disdain he had for children murdered in their classrooms.

When you hear family, friends, coworkers, and the internet wailing over Charlie Kirk, remember those who every shooting tell us it is "too soon to talk about gun violence" and those who have repeatedly and intentionally refused any discussions on gun control.

were shot and wounded in a separate incident in their home - by the same republican voting Vance Boelter.

When you hear family, friends, coworkers, and the internet wailing over Charlie Kirk, remember Minnesota House Democrat Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, who were both fatally shot in their home; remember too about State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette,

Charlie Kirk said publicly that this is the price we have to be willing to pay for the 2nd amendment. I did not agree with him. I do not think this is a price we should willingly accept. I think we should want better. I think we should vote better and demand better.

I was having fun trying to be silly for pics to the hubby. I enjoyed seeing myself just being 🐵

That is a fabulous shirt! Love seeing you!!

On Lil Nas X, celebrity stunts, race and substances.

Perhaps — and hear me out here — going high when they go low isn’t really working.

I sincerely hope that @judiciarydems.senate.gov will vote against him and encourage other Dems to vote against similar nominees in other settings. I’ve been sorely disappointed in y’all’s kowtowing of late.

Right?! This chilly rain has me so longing for a nap!

Happy Husbands May 2025
Thank you, Wyatt, for such a wonderful weekend sweetheart. I love you beyond measure 🐵💖🐻

WATCH THIS. He gets it right

Nottoway Plantation: the so-called “White Castle”, burned down. With it, a monument to whitewashed brutality.

We don’t need romanticized nostalgia for slavery. We need truth. Let this be the end of pretending these places were anything but what they were: crime scenes.
