Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning.

This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

Devastatingβ€” β€œI’m afraid for my parents to leave the house. They treat us like dogs because of the color of our skin. I shouldn’t be scared, I should be focusing on school.”

A 16yo American living in fear of the Trump regime’s ICE goons terrorizing brown people pleads for help.

Going thru security this morning at DCA, I see the TSA officers working and the looks of anger on their faces are palpable. They haven't been paid in nearly a month (same with all government workers)
Working and not getting paid for it... tracks how donald likes to operate. Pay the workers!

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.

A new generation that renews the β€œwe” in β€œwe the people.”

Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

In a way, I find the authoritarian takeover of our media system even more disturbing than the authoritarian takeover of our political system.

Our political system has been failing basically my entire adult life. But, the media system provided accountability and sort of worked. Now it’s collapsing.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

FACTS about SNAP:

-35% to white people (largest share)
-90% to people born in πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
-86% to households with kids
-70% work full time but aren’t paid a living wage (aka corporate welfare)

I’m old.

Not super mid 60’s.

It is WAY past time for old people, especially OLD WHITE PEOPLE, to get the hell out of politics.

Y’all have fucked this country up for decades!

Let the young people and especially the women run things.

Your old ways suck ass.

Go home.

Oh, btw , I’m white

What’s draining tax dollars isn’t SNAP, it’s corporate welfare and billionaire tax breaks.

FACT: Even people working two jobs still need SNAP.

Where’s the outrage about that?!

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

The 37 ballroom donors won’t be remembered for generosity, but for funding a monument to authoritarian vanity during a shutdown, at a venue nicknamed after a sex trafficker, while Americans wonder how they’ll eat. History keeps receipts & their names aren’t coming off those walls

The energy we need is this suburban dad standing out in the street -- barefoot with Blackhawks pajama pants on -- screaming at the masked goons to get the fuck out of their neighborhood.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

10th boat blown up in the Caribbean.

6 people dead this time.

Not a single arrest made.

Not an ounce recovered.

Not a shred of evidence provided.

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it.

They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

We can’t let this happen.

And any Republican who refuses to renew health care subsidies for hardworking American families, saying we can’t afford it, needs to explain how they found $1 trillion in tax cuts to give away to the wealthiest people in America.

Here’s the other big problem: Treasury Secretary Bessent is sitting on a massive Epstein file containing thousands more bank documents that would help us continue to follow the money through his sex trafficking ring.

It’s laughable for JMPC to try to lay its whole Epstein relationship off on a former employee. The evidence indicates that the bank’s ties with Epstein, and the mistakes it made, went all the way to the top.

20.10.2025 16:55 β€” πŸ‘ 2797    πŸ” 456    πŸ’¬ 15    πŸ“Œ 4

The American people deserve to know what JPMC’s role is here. Instead, Jamie Dimon blew off my questions, claiming that one employee was singlehandedly responsible for maintaining the bank’s ties to Epstein:

Public reporting, which JPMC has not disputed, shows that executives including the head of JPMC’s private bank for the ultra-wealthy, were warned repeatedly about Epstein but kept him on as a client.

Banks are required by law to flag suspicious transactions right away so law enforcement can stop monsters like Epstein. JPMC is one of several banks that willingly chose not to alert law enforcement about Epstein's money laundering and trafficking payments.
