What’s so weird about men in power is how when they face scandal and should step down the world acts like no one else can do their jobs. Bottstein, Wasserman, these aren’t irreplaceable men! Stop with this delusion.

Seeing a lot of comments about this being a tragic accident, we should feel bad for this elderly woman etc.
If you drive 70 mph in a residential area, you're an asshole.
If you kill 4 people as a consequence of being an asshole, you should go to jail and definitely never be allowed to drive again

Ice planning to acquire $38 billion in warehouses to create detention centers all over the U.S.
There is no easier or more important political position to take than to do everything possible to stop this. It will change our society forever, and Democrats are going along with it.

Ofelia Torres, the teenage Chicago Public Schools student whose fight against cancer while her father was detained by ICE came to represent the federal government's overreach during Operation Midway Blitz, has died. Brave young woman. I will never forget her. RIP.

It’s ironic that they’re like “if we do ethnic cleansing we’ll have a high trust neighborly society” and then Minneapolis is literally doing high trust neighborly society and they’re like nooooo

"The day of accountability will come": Rep. Delia Ramirez on abolishing and prosecuting DHS
The Handbasket spoke with the congresswoman who called out ICE long before it was popular.
NEW — I spoke with Rep. Delia Ramirez (@ramirez.house.gov) about her calling DHS leaders "inheritors of the Klan hood and the slave patrol," the prospect of one day seeing them behind bars, and what it's like to see the public [finally] embrace her long-held dream to abolish ICE.

There’s a direct connection between the CTA letting anything go on the ‘L’ for the last six years and the Cubs wanting to build nearly 400 more parking spaces in Wrigleyville

After it was clear Lau was considering changing her plea, San Francisco Superior Court Judge Bruce Chan said that the loss of life was “incomprehensible.”
Chan said his duty was to balance the deaths with the other factors of the case, including Lau’s age, her lack of criminal history and her remorse, as well as the fact that her own husband had died in a car accident early on in their marriage.
This judge is a menace.
Why is age an excuse, as if her own age was a surprise to the driver?
If she had remorse beyond crocodile tears why did she hide her money from her victims' family?
If she was so sad about her husband dying in a crash why didn't she avoid driving dangerously?

Can’t build higher than four floors because “think of the traffic!” but adding 368 more cars to Wrigleyville 81 times a year gets rubber-stamped without a second thought, okay

Let's make Wrigleyville more dangerous and unpleasant for the people who actually live here.
We need LESS traffic in Lakeview.

MAGA is a cult of personality who worship celebrity and ostentatious wealth and all its vulgar trappings. Every Trump appointee is living out a jet-setter fantasy, traveling around the world on private jets with a retinue of bodyguards and valets carrying their shopping bags.

DHS is shutting down. Why? Because Democrats took an oath of office to uphold the Constitution and ICE is lawless and out of control. We cannot fund an agency that is murdering our citizens, tear gassing school zones, and disappearing legal immigrants.
