Broadview and Religious Liberty - By Common Consent, a Mormon Blog The events at Broadview represent the most significant attacks on religious liberty by the federal government that I can think of in my lifetime. Even if the church does not involve itself---and it sh...

Even standing alone, ICE's announcement that it would not allow prayer at its Broadview facility would be the biggest imposition on religious liberty by the federal government in my lifetime. But combine that with the rest of its actions and it's inescapable: Trump opposes religious liberty. 1/

The 75% shareholder vote to give Elon Musk the $1Tn pay package is absolute proof that it’s now just a meme stock. Amidst all the horror when the AI bubble bursts it will at least be fun to see him become the first person to lose $1Tn

Pathetic little wieners.

Some small-statured men are confident in their masculinity. Bovino is not one of those men.

Bovino is so desperate to be seen as a tough guy who's enoying himself as he brutalizes people. It's performative and cringey. He shows how much he cares about how he looks, which betrays his weakness. In that regard he's just like Trump, reminiscent of those pick-me girls in high school. 😬🤷‍♂️

Franklin should gotten credit as well.
Watson was an opportunist who KNEW
he could steal a female colleague's work
with absolutely ZERO consequences.

“What, am I going to go and steal an idea? They never should have shown me that because I stole the idea”

Exactly. It was a woman.

That makes no sense. Carrion.

Pure fucking evil in a human suit.

Karp is pathetic and cowardly and deserves every bit of opprobrium the rest of the bar can bestow upon him.

Waukegan alderman says federal agents pulled guns on him: ‘There were four barrels pointed at me’ As soon as he felt he felt he was safe, Martinez said his first call was to Waukegan Mayor Sam Cunningham.

A Waukegan councilman was briefly detained by U.S. immigration agents on Friday, and he says the agents drew their guns on him while he was sitting in his car with his hands raised.

“My life flashed before my eyes,” said Ald. Juan Martinez.

Feds Tell Faith Leaders 'No More Prayer' Outside Broadview Facility In a possible violation of the First Amendment, federal officials instructed demonstrators to stop holding religious gatherings outside the immigration processing facility in suburban Broadview after ...

“Federal authorities told demonstrators Friday that there would be ‘no more prayer’ in front of or inside the Broadview ICE facility, in a move that mystified local leaders and raised legal questions.” blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/07/f...

Restrictions on fetal tissue research would threaten progress on breakthrough treatments for devastating diseases — and yet not prevent a single abortion The U.S. government may restrict funding for research that uses human fetal tissue. The move would undermine medical science and prolong patients' suffering from devastating diseases.

Human fetal tissue research has saved millions of lives and continues to drive biomedical innovation. Restricting it would not alter abortion rates, it would force scientists to discard an irreplaceable research resource for treating devastating diseases.

In Chicago, We Run Toward Danger Together "Faced with unrelenting state violence, Chicagoans have refused to be cowed," says Mariame Kaba.

My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know they’re all your people."

Chicagoans never stop. I was just watching a live stream of a press conference held by community members in front of FBI headquarters. In the rain in the dark. Umbrellas at hand they are calling for the release of 6 people taken by ICE, 3 also arrested by CPD. They never stop fighting.

#BerlinWallFall - The day that defined the end of the 20th century. Old people remember... but for many young ones it's just a page in a history book. Think, roughly 45% of Americans (~153 million) were born after this day. Globally, people under 36 might constitute 55-65% of the Earth's population.

Justice KBJ is a brilliant strategist. She is working the rules to compel timely review of the stay in the SNAP case by both the Circuit Court and by the Supreme Court. This is why knowing which SCOTUS justice has supervision of the Circuit you file in is essential.

Chris Coons: "He's not listening to concerns about lowering costs. Instead he's worried about decorating his new Marie Antoinette ballroom or engaging in trying to figure out how to get his name on more statues and stadiums, or he's sitting across the table in the Oval Office with authoritarians."

Saying this since last term.

I'm Not Saying Jesus is Anti-MAGA, Jesus is Saying That. The steady stream of vitriol that progressive Christians receive from MAGA Evangelicals is completely understandable.

Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me. Matthew 25:45

Jesus said he literally inhabits the most vulnerable among us, and that the way we treat them is the way we treat Jesus himself..

Until the end of the government shutdown, our campaign will be donating $2,500 a month to a food pantry in the Ninth District.

And to my fellow candidates, I challenge you to do the same:

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.

The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.

But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.
