If they could, they'd bring back slavery en masse.

Nobody deserves a billion dollars. Everyone deserves food. The end.

And another politician has been attacked. And it’s another fire. This also in Portland. www.oregonlive.com/news/2025/10...

IN 10 YEARS, Africa is set to have the largest workforce in the world. I have a theory that normalization of eugenics combined with the concentration of wealth is because this group of small men with too much money and power wants to exploit the hell out of Africa. In this essay, I will— #blacksky

The gatekeeping of organizing to keep people from starving to death has to stop. YES, donate to and volunteer to your local food pantries. AND please understand that people are ALREADY hungry and many food pantries are ALREADY overwhelmed.

RFK Jr. will eliminate as many vaccines as he can. Every step he takes at the CDC is in service of this aim, as well as undermining public health infrastructure overall. He cannot tolerate scientists who know more than he does, so they must go. Another great piece by @melodyschreiber.com.

WCK is in Washington, D.C. serving thousands of meals prepared by local restaurants to people impacted by the U.S. government shutdown. We're at Washington Canal Park until 2pm. If you know someone affected by the shutdown, please share this post so they know where to get a meal. ❤️ #ChefsForFeds

Let this sink in… “At least one expert now predicting this could trigger greatest hunger catastrophe in the U.S. since the Great Depression.” 📌 The Dept of Agriculture posted a notice on its website saying federal food aid won’t go out on November 1.

If you have it please donate cash to the food banks. $10 in their hands will feed more people than the $10 worth of canned goods you can buy for retail prices. Also check on your elders. Many of them will not admit they rely on these programs so grocery gift cards or a surprise bag of staples

1 in 8 Americans rely on SNAP…

Lawyers in the case before Judge Sara Ellis in Chicago respond today to this DHS statement about Greg Bovino’s use of tear gas: “The statement is a lie,” they say.

Surprise 😨 A Kremlin-funded party serves only the Kremlin, who would’ve thought?

John Roberts is maybe the most effective racist in the history of American politics since the end of the Jim Crow era. Breathtaking accomplishments in bigotry and sadism.

WCK is serving free meals for furloughed federal workers impacted by the U.S. government shutdown. These meals are available to federal employees and their families. Below are locations and hours. #ChefsForFeds (1/2)

🚨Illinois State Representative and Congressional Candidate, Hoan Huynh, was surrounded by ICE agents while one of them pulled a gun on him in NW Chicago this morning.

i think i would honestly find this whole discourse more tolerable if people simply said what they were actually saying, which is that they think the Democratic Party is too associated with femininity (and secondarily, with black people) and that they want to correct this

#abolishice not neighborhood soccer

'NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW': In a new video posted online, Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias has a warning for ICE agents. WATCH: bit.ly/474Ghbp

Amazing that just mere weeks ago, Republican governors were so concerned about the health of SNAP recipients that they staged photo ops when they banned the use of SNAP for purchasing soda. Now apparently they think SNAP recipients shouldn’t even be able to buy food at all. MAGA!

For #Chicago peeps, here's a fundraiser for IPP, a nonprofit I work for that gets mental health care to people who can't afford it or are uninsured:

La fiscal general de Nueva York, Letitia James, comparece ante un tribunal federal al tiempo que Trump busca un “castigo”

They just gassed Wrigleyville. Yes, Wrigleyville

BREAKING: Letitia James has announced a Government portal for Videos and images of ICE Agents who may have committed crimes. Please Use it and SHARE! ag.ny.gov/federal-acti...

BREAKING: Jack Smith is requesting that Congress and the Justice Dept. let him testify in public. In new letters to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees, Smith says he wants to testify "in open hearings" because of "the many mischaracterizations" around his investigations.

OUTRAGEOUS these ICE bastards are preying on CHILDREN trying to get an EDUCATION!

That’s a trillion dollar increase in two months.

They’re flooding the zone, so there’s a new horror story every hour of every day. SNAP funding runs out in November. Millions of Americans, children included, are going to go hungry. Talk about it every single day. Scream about it. Don’t let it get pushed out of the public consciousness.

I mentioned yesterday that I would be starting a virtual food drive for the federal workers of DC. Being born and raised here I feel an obligation to do something. Well, here it is!! Please give and share. 🫶🏾 give.capitalareafoodbank.org/NotYourNegress

An extensive new report just dropped detailing attacks on protesters and neighbors outside the Broadview detention center:

SNAP benefits are about to lapse for 42 million people, because nothing says “save the children” like starving them.

The feds driving around and terrorizing our neighborhoods like they're playing Grand Theft Auto is now a daily/regular occurrence and I keep wondering how we're supposed to live like this

Two weeks after the Sun-Times first requested information about federal immigration vehicles with questionable plates, Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias has launched a hotline to report license plate tampering. trib.al/fH4dXfC

For folks asking if they've made it *inside* a Home Depot yet as the business has clearly just continued letting agents do whatever they want in their lots, the answer is yes. This is from yesterday in Evanston.

Families are already hanging by a thread, but the sad truth is it’s about to get a lot worse when SNAP benefits don’t go out in November. It’s time to find our local food banks and help out with donations and volunteer hours if you are able.

As most are aware by now, ICE is slamming the north side today. They've been seen in Andersonville, Rogers Park, West Ridge, Edgewater + Evanston. Several people abducted, agents still active. Shared with permission—rapid response whistle team at Bryn Mawr & Broadway this morning.

41 million people (including 20 million kids) will lose access to food in a few days while a new 90,000 square foot ballroom is being added to the White House. This political moment is profoundly disgusting.

The absolute insanity of fielding reports/blurring videos of kidnappings and sightings from an explosion of Border Patrol agents in your own neighborhood in Chicago while also getting news of an ICE agent shooting another fed in LA and then logging on to see them IDing delivery workers in NYC

Federal agents from ICE and HSI—some in military fatigues and masks—descended on Chinatown today in an aggressive and reckless raid on immigrant street vendors. Once again, the Trump administration chooses authoritarian theatrics that create fear, not safety. It must stop.

Hundreds of people protesting ICE in downtown manhattan right now. Reads and Broadway. NYPD cops in riot gear on scene.

Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.   During today’s pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.

#TrumpHatesOurHealthCare Regular Americans don’t give a shit about a clean CR. They care that they can afford their insurance premiums. NEW POLL…
