So far 0 faves are implicated in the pedophile ring of elites. Probably a coincidence.

Just, you know, in case:

You know how I hit you up for donations to the National Immigrant Justice Center from time to time? This is the work those donations support.

You probably saw videos of a nighttime raid in Chicago. Agents rappelling from a helicopter, bursting down doors, questioning brown-skinned immigrants. We investigated -- and found little evidence to support the government’s claims about Tren de Aragua. www.propublica.org/article/chic...

Reminder that just this year Alds. Ray Lopez and Silvana Tabares introduced an ordinance to rollback protections to once again allow CPD to work with ICE if they claimed it was related to any gang, drug, or prostitution activity. Nine other alders supported it.

so basically what happened was: ICE / CBP abducted ~1800 people from across the chicago area during june to oct, & did most of it without warrants. of those ~1800 people, only ~750 are still in the us & ~135 aren't eligible for release. the injustice of everything these people will never get back.

This is the funniest part lol

It just wasn't a big, newsworthy deal like, for instance, the college applications of a mayoral candidate to a school he didn't get into or attend.

Right, these are the two options: Either they tolerated Epstein's eugenics to get to the sex crimes or they tolerated his sex crimes to get to the eugenics

Something telling about all these leaks is that Epstein can barely construct an email and, for years and years, the people who made excuses for spending time with Epstein loved to say it was because he was such a brilliant guy. I think it's abundantly clear that's not why anyone spent time with him!

The Harris/Walz campaign solicited me 3 times by text between August 20th and September 20th. Each time, I respectfully and tactfully pressed them to take stronger stances against Israel. September 20th was the last outreach I would ever receive from her camp — 46 whole days prior to Election Day

"One day, everyone will have always been against this" was a condemnation. Not a one-step guide for revitalizing your career.

A siege-breaking snowstorm followed by the strongest aurora in living memory is proof that Chicago has the Mandate of Heaven and its enemies will die by her sword

[guy who’s read all the caro LBJ biographies] do you know who could’ve gotten his senate votes in line and wouldn’t have been a little bitch about it

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

LOL

It’s a shame that Dick Durbin has essentially decimated the legacy of his dedicated, otherwise decently admirable lifetime of service to Illinois with this one idiotic move that we won’t forget

Lori Lightfoot endorsing Melissa Conyears-Ervin is a good time to remind folks that Lightfoot fought hard to hide allegations of misconduct against Conyears-Ervin from the taxpayers. A real stain on her good government self-promotion www.chicagotribune.com/2023/10/11/c...

On today's date in 1886, four men were executed in Chicago, IL for their alleged involvement in the Haymarket Affair. They were accused of bombing an anti-police brutality rally in May that killed a police officer. Days prior, police killed striking workers outside a factory in Chicago.

There are literally hundreds of videos and photos that say differently

Ald. Byron Sigcho Lopez (25th) confronts Gov. JB Pritzker after a Veterans Day rally in Little Village, and Ald. Mike Rodriguez (22nd) intervenes. #OnAssignment for @blockclubchi.bsky.social

Business rent is way too high on Mag (not Miracle) Mile so companies are just shuffling around. H&M moved two blocks down the road to save cash. He's blaming "murder and crime" in one of the safest parts of the city because the real problem is "landlords." Almost like that's the whole gambit.

This photo was taken by @chicagotribune.com photog @mandophotos.bsky.social this past Saturday in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood. Chicago's local news journalists are doing a helluva job capturing the aggressive tactics CPB & ICE are using here. bsky.app/profile/mand...

I laughed out loud to myself yesterday thinking that "some unseasonably early snow" was going to demoralize ICE like it was Stalingrad and it turns out I might have been right

Michael Rabbit is my friend and the Cook County Dems Committeeperson for Chicago’s 45th ward blockclubchicago.org/2024/05/30/m... That the Feds are after him is outrageous. Support Michael’s legal defense fund. GoFundMe here: gofund.me/bfceefa9d

good morning Chicago! you’re looking lovely on this frigid morning

Coming to you live from the Miracle Mile Shopping Center in Chicago

An official position of DSA btw

Former Republican and already passed from the world of the living? Schumer and the DSCC are proud to announce their preferred candidate to succeed Dick Durbin in the Senate:

They invaded my city (and others) with goon squads that have been kidnapping my neighbors and terrorizing us on a daily basis.

??????

tbt to this gem from @katieprout.bsky.social

it helps to understand the current moment if you internalize the fact that Chuck Schumer is a genuinely stupid man. like, not to IQpost but well below average intelligence, someone off the street might not get rolled like this.

If @durbin.senate.gov caves, it’s time for @govpritzker.illinois.gov and @duckworth.senate.gov to pull him aside and have him retire now. Put @julianastratton.bsky.social in the slot. Illinois is under attack and it’s time for fighters.

Here’s video of federal agents doing a drive by pepper spraying that hit a father and his one-year old on Saturday when the Feds were hitting Little Village and Cicero

Two months ago, before Bovino arrived and the Broadview ICE facility was transformed into an impenetrable fortress, regular people were out there every single day for weeks telling feds to get out. We think about this day a lot.

I actually think what ICE is doing under Trump 2.0 is shaping up to be a world-historic campaign of human rights violations in an advanced industrialized ~democracy I’m not sure I have many modern parallels. Japanese internment? Treatment of French-Algerians in the Algerian war? Those were wartime.

How long must we endure this

Our trash police department, welcoming in the invasion with a smile and handshake credit to @ashleerezin.bsky.social and the @chicago.suntimes.com

BROADVIEW - state and local authorities just arrested about 20 women who hopped the concrete barricades outside the processing center, sat down in the middle of the street and joined hands. Took maybe five minutes all told.

I love that the ruling is “Chicago fucking rules, fuck the liars and the haters”

Mayor Brandon Johnson responds to Bovino: "No, Greg it is not. This city belongs to Chicagoans." @wttw.bsky.social

Apparently the Friend ads have arrived in Chicago and the people know: AI is not your friend.

shitfaced jamaal bowman saying this is so fuckin funny i feel so seen right now

Now's a good time for Illinois residents to take advantage of a unique right we have to be removed from Clearview's database. Scroll down to IL opt-out here: www.clearview.ai/privacy-and-...

They counted on making Chicago mad and provoking violence but what they did instead was viscerally disgust any human with even the slightest sense of morality and it’s not gonna go the way they want

oh my god they actually did it lmao
