Like any bully, Trump is fundamentally a coward.

When he feels humiliated, he lashes out.

Every authoritarian action he is taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity.

He feigns strength, but he's operating from a place of weakness.

Amid many victims, sister of one man killed in Minneapolis mass shooting wants him remembered Gregory Sweeten was slain on Lake Street one day before the Annunciation shooting. His sister Misha is trying to draw more attention to his death.

Gregory Sweeten was slain on Lake Street one day before the Annunciation shooting. His sister Misha is trying to draw more attention to his death.

The Tribune has posted unredacted BWC showing the ICE agents who shot and killed Silverio Villegas González in Franklin Park a week and a half ago.

The agent describes his injuries as “nothing major” which does not jibe with DHS claims that he was “seriously injured.”

Polls on Trump's approval ratings

@gelliottmorris.com: "many people fundamentally underestimate how unpopular Trump is."

Trump is currently underwater on all key issues, something our corporate elites should consider before capitulating to him.

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Group of workers reportedly detained while working on roof in Naperville, homeowner says A Naperville homeowner was left with an unfinished roof and in disbelief after neighbors told his family they believe ICE agents came to his house and detained crew members working on his home.

In Naperville, IL on Wednesday, ICE surrounded a group of documented workers replacing a residential roof. ICE agents reportedly kicked over the ladders and forced the workers to jump. The episode involved a chase with guns drawn.

Israel’s recent strike in Yemen reportedly killed 31 journalists – one of the deadliest attacks on the press in over a decade.

As we fight to protect the freedom of the press at home, we must also do so abroad.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

Sources: ICE detainee dies at Nassau County jail; investigation underway The man was being held under a partnership between Nassau County and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), under which the county provides 50 jail cells for immigration detainees and receive...

A man caged by ICE was found dead in his cell inside a Long Island jail 18 hours after arriving there.

This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.

Overcrowded cells. Unsanitary conditions. Limited access to food and water.

These are the conditions that ICE has created at 26 Federal Plaza, which eleven elected officials sought to expose. Instead, they were arrested.

They must be released right now — and inspectors let in.

"At DHS, Trump has ordered agents formerly dedicated to investigating and arresting human traffickers to focus on deporting immigrants."

This is not an administration that cares about public safety. This is an administration that cares about padding its deportation numbers.

Illinois State Senator Karina Villa sprang into action to protect her community from ICE raids, alerting neighbors to their rights and chasing off masked agents. This is how you stand up to authoritarianism. We should all be inspired by Sen. Villa's courage.

A Call-Up From the Anti-Monopoly Bench Former antitrust enforcer Reed Showalter is running for Congress to leverage his expertise in fighting corporate power.

Reed Showalter, a veteran of Lina Khan's FTC, Jonathan Kanter's Justice Department, and the only congressional committee (House Antitrust 2020) that did something truly positive recently, is running for an open House seat in Illinois, hoping to add an antimonopoly veteran into Congress.

DOJ Deletes Study Showing Domestic Terrorists Are Most Often Right Wing Following Charlie Kirk’s assassination and the Trump administration’s promise to go after the “radical left” a study showing most domestic terrosim is far-right was disappeared.

The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States.

Exactly right. The way to stand up a bully is to refuse to give an inch.

Dr. Mohammed Saqr in Gaza says medical workers are physically and mentally exhausted from treating victims of Israeli massacres.

Looks like the ICE presence in Chicagoland—and I emphasize the “land” part—is purposefully operating in a way as to avoid media coverage. By grabbing people here and there on city edges, outskirts & random suburbs, they don’t attract activity that generates coverage, let alone protest.

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis

Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today.

We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

“Here Comes the Sun”: Bill McKibben on Renewable Energy, “Sun Day” & the “Last Chance” for Climate As the Trump administration grows increasingly hostile to renewable energy, we speak with acclaimed environmentalist Bill McKibben about his new book, Here Comes the Sun, in which he lays out a hopefu...

With "extraordinary amounts of clean energy surging into the world’s energy system," the world has a chance to avert the worst of the climate crisis, says Bill McKibben. But so far, it's China taking the lead on the green transition as the U.S. doubles down on fossil fuels.

This is an archived government report that found that “Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists.”

It existed yesterday and is gone today.

A sneering midwit with inherited wealth got the facts wrong, and accused an honest public servant—Lisa Cook—of fraud. His meddling created a crisis well beyond his portfolio, undermining the Fed.

Bill Pulte can do the right thing and resign.

If merit still matters, he should be fired.
