A new report reveals that an upcoming Supreme Court case could eliminate:

❌ 27 blue congressional districts
❌ 30% of Congressional Black Caucus seats
❌ 11% of Hispanic Caucus seats

And the effects could ripple for over a generation.

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...

"After a few moments of laughter..."

The No Kings organizers with a fun, tidy response to Mike Johnson's shenanigans.

Reporting live from Chicago, there’s no “hellscape” I’d rather be in.

"It’s happening in Portland. It’s happened in L.A. It’s happening in D.C. ... To be frank with you, this isn’t about politics. This is genuinely about the future of our country. Do we believe in a constitutional republic, or do we think that it’s okay if this becomes the law of one?" trib.al/FA8Dioq

Trying to scare people. But it won't work. No one looks scared to me anymore. And it's power in numbers. All the TV hits in the world won't change the fact that when Americans see the sheer number of people out there, absolutely no one will believe anything these guys say.

On the 18th we need to be vigilant for increased violence and provocation by both law enforcement and counter-protestors, both of which will be used to try to justify more violence and authoritarianism.

If you really want to piss off Trump and MAGA and have no mlb team left, might I interest you in the Toronto Blue Jays.

The correct response to Republicans widely depicting the coming protests as terrorism is to go out and protest. Each person should get 10 more people to do so. If Republicans are going to hint at violent state responses to legitimate protest, the only answer is bigger numbers.

María Corina Machado

Can we all celebrate and emulate María Corina Machado?

She won the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize for fighting dictatorship!

She lives in hiding and was not allowed to run for President in 2024.

CHICAGO — Outside an elementary school during dismissal… horrifying. What have we become?

This is nightmarish and every Dem politician, every media figure who is silent is complicit. This is not supposed to happen here. Masked thugs with guns dragging moms away in front of their screaming children. Trump’s government must be destroyed and his accomplices must rot in prison

My choice for the Nobel Peace Prize this year:

Chef José Andrés and the World Central Kitchen.

June 11: GOP Sen. Marsha Blackburn introduces a bill to defund NPR and PBS because of their "left-wing propaganda" and "radical leftist gender ideology."

October 7: The news industry's main trade group gives Blackburn its "Support Journalism Champion Award."

Just shameless.

when i saw marsha fucking blackburn was being honored by journalists i thought i was having a neurological episode

Personally, I’m wondering what it will take for lawmakers to realize this.

What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.

This is truly brilliant. Such a way to communicate,
#USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Goosebumps watching this. Chicagoans fighting for this country. Mass collective action is the only thing that can keep fascism away.

Reminder to @CNN about why this is a humiliating self-own by them.

1) Prez *does* have some legal power to change geog name, as used in federal documents. Thus Gulf of Mexico-->USA!

2) Prez has *zero* legal power to create, abolish, or rename a fed dept. Requires act of Congress.

STOP NOW CNN

This is capitulation. It is not the "Department of War." If CNN concedes on this point, they'll concede on any point.

This right here 🔥🔥

These people are evil. Never stop saying so. Don’t be intimidated into shutting up.

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

There is no budget "deal" to be made President Trump has so broken the constitutional framework as to make joint normal, responsible government impossible.

If appropriations bills are not seen as enforceable contracts, why should any Member of Congress vote to fund any part of the federal government under Donald Trump? You're voting to provide money for lawlessness. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/there-is-n...

Article excerpt: After Trump won and formally announced Homan would be returning with him to the White House, Sowell kept Homan on his payroll until the end of the year. Once named as the border czar, Homan said he would recuse himself from contracting, saying he would have no “involvement, discussion, input, or decision of any future government contracts.” But several industry executives who spoke with ProPublica said at least half a dozen companies vying for a slice of the $45 billion Congress has allocated for immigration detention work had hired Sowell because he had led them to believe his connections to Homan would help their chances of winning government work. Homan's business relationships are under greater scrutiny after MSNBC reported an FBI sting that allegedly caught him on tape accepting $50,000 in cash from undercover agents posing as would-be government contractors before he took the border czar post. His relationship with Sowell raises fresh questions about the integrity of the billion-dollar contracting process for immigration enforcement, ethics experts say.

Now that Tom Homan is border czar, his former business associate Charles Sowell is continuing to work with companies actively seeking to land a chunk of the $45 billion Congress approved to spend on immigration detention.

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

Murray: "If House Republicans were here, I'd make sure they understood over 3/4 of the families on the exchanges actually live in R states. And I'd make sure they understand the 10 states where families will face biggest average premium increase hikes when the ACA credits expire are all R states."
