We are literally mad about your failure to fight the real dangers.

screen grab from a Block Club newsletter shows ICE agents posing in front of the Bean in downtown Chicago. Text reads “DOWNTOWN. Border Patrol Agents Pose at the Bean for Apparent Photo Op. The photo op came after agents teargassed a Little Villiage street and were spotted in the area numerous times. At the Bean, one agent shouted, “Everyone say ‘Little Village!’”

these people are actual real life monsters and no whitewashing pr campaign that we will inevitably be subjected to someday will change my mind.

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

Unfortunately still true bsky.app/profile/adam...

I keep seeing regular Americans taking more risks every day to fight tyranny, want, and cynicism than I see from the opposition party, and I imagine many of those regular Americans are asking themselves what the value proposition of such an opposition party is, really

i, for one, cannot wait to hear Jennifer Welch tear into this one

if you’re going to church today in america and the main topic isn’t about how your congregation can help those going without food and pay right now, you are not going to a church that is serving God, you are going to a church that serves the ego of man.

sorry, you can not convince me otherwise.

The mamdani sign meme that reads OH FOR FUCK’S SAKE because i’m pissed as hell with the fucking spineless democrats that just caved to the fucking nazis and got absolutely nothing in return

i’m ready for something different than whatever the fuck this is

Sure we put you through a month of hell, but on the other hand we got nothing for it.

The committee from The Good Place arguing: “He's got a point. The fair thing for us to do is just keep on giving up more and more stuff we want, unilaterally, until this demon is finally happy.”

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

you’ve failed the american people tonight

thank YOU for the work you’re doing! preordered this awhile back so got the extra dopamine hit when this unexpectedly arrived in the mail

oh all credit to my neighbors! just sharing because i feel so lucky and grateful for this community, and chicago as a whole!

i’m on two different neighborhood signal chats to ensure there is adequate daily coverage of the elementary schools and neighborhood centers nearby

The most heartening thing about right now is the propensity of my neighbors to run towards trouble

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility.

Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

The Onion: DHS: ‘Daycare Workers Have Walked Freely in This Country For Far Too Long’

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

MUSTARD AND ONIONS FOR EVERYBODY

big night for dems, sure, but the real winners are the aloof wives quietly steering mayoral campaigns from behind the scenes

Perhaps most significantly, researchers have learned that queer people were largely reported by people in their own communities. As many as a third of LGBTQ+ people who were arrested were denounced, that is reported to the Nazis, by their friends and family. ”That really changes the understanding of the Nazi period, because it’s easier to think that this was just a top-down hard line or dictatorial regime implementing all these policies, and they’re the ones doing the hunting down and finding of the so-called enemies of the state,” said Newsome. “But what we’re actually seeing is that most Germans just did nothing to protect LGBTQ folks.”
