ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

Jackie and her four young children were kidnapped from a picnic by ICE. Today, those kids are still missing their mother. Listen to Jackie’s friend, Mimi, tell their story:

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 3: Earl Manigault When he stepped onto the court, the world watched. No one dunked harder or jumped higher. But the GOAT never made it pro. There are countless NYC stories like his. Brilliant talents lost to drugs or crime. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Today has truly been a banner day on this here site

The conversation between Klein and Coates showed me that a lot of people who screech about “infighting” on the left aren’t aware of the fact that marginalized people have been forced to learn how to regulate their emotions during conflict, and so, are better able to hear what’s actually being said.

Every election I turn to the @boltsmag.org cheat sheet to see what is on the ballot. It's an incredibly helpful resource: boltsmag.org/whats-on-the...

"Jones, 27, is among the residents left at 7500 S. South Shore Drive who are trying to piece together what remains after an early morning, high-powered federal immigration raid led to the arrests of dozens of their neighbors at their South Shore apartment building."

What is the city government going to do to address the recent South Shore raid? Seems people were left with their apartments destroyed, items stolen, and potentially unhoused. Dozens others were taken into federal custody. Complete destabilization of our communities’ sense of peace and safety.

Adding "feds fucking choking a man in broad daylight" to the list. Absolute terror across Chicago today. Begging for national attention that matches the level of crisis on the ground here feels like screaming underwater at this point.

Miss Major, one of the mothers of the trans liberation movement, has been in the hospital for 10 days with sepsis and a blood clot. She has looked out for us for generations, now it’s time to look out for her. Donate if you can: fundly.com/missmajor

ahahahahahaha oh no

is there any way we can just swap a bunch of useless dem senators at the national level with the dozen dem state senators in chicago who have been running around to mobilize their communities and confront ICE directly

40 people from 7500 South Shore is an insane amount of people. This is one apartment building, in a neighborhood that is 93% Black, with ICE attacking people sent here by the Texas governor 2 years ago.

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".

Let’s fucking go.

trans trains from man(hattan) to queen(s) I fucking love trans trains

Feds allegedly have made 27 unlawful arrests, without warrants or probably cause - including detaining 3 US citizens - in Chicago, Woodridge, Palatine, Arlington Heights, Naperville, Mount Prospect, Berwyn, Cicero and Elgin chicago.suntimes.com/news/2025/09...

I’m out, I'm sore. I'll have more later, but right now I have to say a couple of things. First, walking out of there to learn about the kindness, support, and quick action from so many of you all has meant the world to me, my wife, and co-founder, Raven. Thank you.

Abolish ICE. Now. www.newsweek.com/ice-detentio...

the whole world should be watching what’s going on in Broadview, Illinois — a small suburb 12 miles west of Chicago.

I've been reading @peoplesfabric.com for weeks to try and make sense of ICE's invasion of Chicago and in my bones this detainment feels targeted.

This thread makes a really important point.

Some amazing gay history. Listen up kids.

Today is World Contraception Day, so let me be clear — contraception is essential for women’s healthcare and safety. I’ll always defend reproductive freedom in Virginia — and unlike my opponent, I’ll sign the Right to Contraception Act into law as soon as it lands on my desk as Governor.

What the fuck?

"This entire process was never about me. It was never about any threat to the public, it was never about terrorism – a word used by your government to discredit people you oppress. It was always about Gaza, about what happens if you dare to speak up." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

This is so brilliant. It's a concrete action with immediate benefits that can be performed incrementally

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets. • Joy Reid • Don Lemon • Melissa Harris-Perry • Tiffany Cross • Jemele Hill • Marc Lamont Hill • Karen Attiah • Amber Ruffin

ICE agents held a man’s five year old autistic daughter and taunted him with “Is that your daughter” in an attempt to get him to come out of the house. They were rebuffed but two days later took him from his car.

Self-serving politicians may want you to believe that violent crime is rampant and repeat offenders are to blame – but two things to remember: 1. Overall crime rates are at historically low levels 2. 74% of all jail bookings are for charges that are not "violent"

This thread hurts. Like hitting your funny bone on a metal bar.

entire press has gotten bullied into treating charlie kirk as if he was one of the most important americans alive and not a modestly popular podcaster

I genuinely cannot believe that Ezra Klein said we should run pro-life candidates in Kansas, Ohio, and Missouri; three states that recently held abortion referendums where the pro-choice side won!

I hate telling this story, but when tear gas is in the news... telling always feels importantm Tear gas is an abortifacient. When I was tear gassed, we were trying for a baby. The following day, I bled in a way I never have before. Like no period of my life before or since. Horror movie stuff.

ICE agents’ crackdown on protesters outside of Chicago escalated tonight with flash bangs and pepper bullets. I was on the ground this evening for @blockclubchi.bsky.social blockclubchicago.org/2025/09/19/i...

I am so damn tired of Vichy fucks.

This is what all our *currently* elected officials should be doing, and not nearly enough are. We need people who are willing to stand up against fascism, not weak-willed appeasers. Good on you, @katmabu.bsky.social

This is what I mean when I tell people Jersey will win.

Mapquest: the last true bastion of freedom.

they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by the process of law. they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by violence. the only lever by which they can obtain obedience is fear. do not offer it to them.

Built in the 13th century. So that mosque stood for 800 years with every sort of person from every place and every religion in the world passing through Gaza century after century, only for it to be blown up by some shithead loser sitting behind a computer that we probably paid for.
