ICE has been cracking down hard across the vast expanse of the greater Chicago area, and I wrote a little bit about what you need to understand about what it’s like here now. Plus, I compiled some resources for locals to get alerts and whistles. dansinker.com/posts/202…

How Trump is Building a Violent, Shadowy Federal Police Force Trump’s DHS appointees have dismantled civil rights guardrails, protected agents’ anonymity and encouraged them to wear masks, threatened groups that stood in their way, and overwhelmed legal challeng...

“Bands of masked men apprehending people in broad daylight in the streets and hauling them off. Disappearing people to a third country,” a former DHS official said. “We’re at an inflection point in history right now and it’s frightening.”

NYC sidewalk, heading into the #NoKings march, a woman in a teal blousy dress, yellow sash, and black corset, red-white-and-blue wig, American flag bandana on her face, topped with a tricorne hat with a yellow feather seems to sit astride an inflatable horse who’s wearing an American flag tutu around his neck. (His name is Bill. Bill o’Rights.) Her left hand is on her hip, and her right hand holds a handmade sign with multi colored glitter letters that reads ‘Hey, Congress! (esp GOP chickens). We want YOU to preserve, protect, & defend the Constitution!’

Zohran Mamdani, the Power Breaker Why the Democratic Party, the New York Times, and the donor class got Zohran Mamdani so wrong.

No Kings, No Kings, No Kings

The Trump regime’s constant onslaught of cruelty and mounting threats can be scary and demoralizing. That’s their intent.

But the people won’t bow down. On Saturday, we’re gonna speak out on a grander scale than Trump has ever seen. Find a peaceful protest: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Exports of U.S. farm products declined by 60% after the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1929.

Countries retaliated with tariffs of their own, then turned to other sources for key U.S. farm products—such as wheat, pork, and cotton.

Exports did not fully rebound until after World War II.

I so admired your town hall where you got folks to see the same page and built community. Big fan. But this New Yorker (& daughter of a vet) finally donated a few bucks to you today because of the 7th text from Janet Mills after I opted out 6 times. Thanks for running. 🗽

Can you think of a single movie in which there is a video from the government denouncing its political opponents playing on a loop in public spaces in which that government was the good guy?

In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn’t have a hotel room. Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him, three of those officials said.

"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him.

I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year.

The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

ICE agents raid South Shore apartments; Trump says Chicago could become military training ground ICE agents raided a South Shore apartment building overnight as the city braces for a possible military deployment.

Chicago, Illinois, 2025:

"They had the Black people in one van, and the immigrants in another van."

"They was bringing the kids down, had them zip-tied to each other."

"I kept asking, 'What is the morality?' One of them laughed. He said, 'Fuck them kids.'"

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance.

Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn.

We have been sent here to fight for people.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

“It is easy to lose sight of the real stakes” in this government shutdown, the editorial board writes. “President Trump is seeking to deprive millions of Americans of their health insurance, and Senate Democrats are refusing to acquiesce.”

The US military is only 50% white (and it's 15% female) so Hegseth launched an attack on the majority of troops.

Another violent attack by an ICE officer on a civilian at 26 Federal Plaza—this time on a journalist, who had to be carried out on stretcher.

Another attack on the First Amendment, our neighbors, and our democracy.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!
