I’m very proud of this collaboration—it’s yet another way Chicagoans came together and organized to defend our city.

The nonprofit Nourishing Hope said it's prepared this year to spend double its annual budget, largely due to an unusually large holiday demand and unexpected funding cuts.

This New Orleans operation is going to closely resemble what we just went through in Chicago.

Can we just take a minute and acknowledge that our POTUS is right OUT IN THE OPEN lobbying Congressional members to vote against releasing the Epstein files?! Like... what the fuck else does anyone even need to know?

Here's your chance to do something about the people being starved and beaten in Broadview ICE custody. Share this post, and I'll donate $1 to the Midwest Immigration Bond Fund (www.mibfc.org). And if you make a donation to them, let me know how much and I'll match it 1:1.

Happening now: a small demonstration is getting underway in front of Chicago Police Department HQ, protesting cooperation between CPD and federal immigration agents. One demonstrator is holding up a photo of Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino shaking hands with a CPD officer.

New reporting reveals that Jeffrey Epstein played a role in brokering security agreements for Israel, and enjoyed close relationships with powerful Israeli officials.

⭐️ Nov. 11, Chicago: Veterans Say No! No to ICE, no to occupation, no to fascism, and no to cuts stripping away life-saving services our communities need. Organized by About Face with support from CTU, ICIRR, SEIU, and many more.

Just make ChatGPT the villain

Greg Bovino and CBP have repeatedly failed to free the man inside the bean.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Have now seen two stories from major local broadcast outlets in Chicago repeating a claim by DHS that shots were fired and paint cans/bricks were thrown today in Little Village, with the only "evidence" being a post from the agency on a nazi website. This is more than irresponsible.

This is how to write a headline about repeated liars.

A man rushed to the Broadview ICE facility searching for his wife. They followed every legal step, but ICE took her into another room and she vanished. He tracked her phone there when the signal died. Police told him to “look up her name online.” He sat in the parking lot, weeping, with no answers.

If you worship the cops, banish criticism of the cops from politics, give all the money to the cops, and operate on the assumption that the cops are what keeps society together, there’s nowhere to stand to oppose the fascist police state

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going! Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists. We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.

I think bike people are like dog people in that somehow every one you know personally is nice and chill about it but every one who is a stranger that you hear about is a psycho

Whenever we do eat the rich, Jay Z will be much earlier than Beyoncé, but Oprah is probably getting done in the first wave.

A Border Patrol agent who shot a woman five times on Chicago’s Southwest Side later bragged about his shooting skills to friends: “I’m up for another round of ‘f--- around and find out.’” chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

The people of New York City elected a candidate who is likeable and campaigned on a platform of improving their lives. This is very confusing to me, a democratic strategist genius.

The video now rapidly circulating (which also does not have a date or time marked) does not blur this poor woman's face. Here's one that does: wgntv.com/news/chicago...

Mamdani: "We believe in standing up for those we love. Whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many Black women that Donald Trump has fired from a federal job ... your struggle is ours too."

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

Defense tells judge they want to question Lairmore about 'gag gifts' he received from fellow officers after the alleged assault, including a Subway sandwich plush toy and a patch that (unless I misheard) said 'Felony Footlong.' Prosecutors object. Defense argues they reflect CBP 'state of mind.'

"I think the evidence is pretty strong that this facility is no longer just a temporary holding facility... it has really become a prison," the judge adds.

ICE/CBP is active in Lincoln Park right now, has been spotted near Damen/Clybourn at Costco + Jewel (this is in addition to a morning abduction reported at Costco earlier). People believe grocery delivery drivers are being targeted and are asking folks to alert other vulnerable workers as well.

The Trump administration will make millions suffer, treating people who need SNAP as pawns in the regime's power game

if you see that AI-generated video going around, of some NYPD officer telling an ICE officer what he’s doing is against the law, one straightforward way to tell it’s AI is this will literally never happen

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Just your regular reminder that liberals fear socialism more than they fear fascism.

Black Man Lynched - Cover Up A second autopsy revealed Trey Reed suffered blunt force trauma to his head. On 15 September, Trey Reed's body was discovered hanging from a tree on campus. Police quickly labelled it suicide. For many, the conclusion felt premature and unsettlingly familiar.

Outside Chicago— State police and sheriff's officers at Broadview detention center are out in riot gear. A large Halloween demo is being prevented from doing a Jericho walk through the intersection. Arrests of protesters ongoing. Troopers have also assaulted multiple reporters already.

From an Evanston resident filming an arrest at Oakton/Asbury ~an hour ago: "He was being very violent with her, I said ‘You got to stop that,’ and he said, ‘Step back or I’ll fucking shoot you.‘ I step back, and then I continue to record, at which point he turned around and pointed a gun at me.”

ICE is a domestic terrorist organization.

At least 2 people — both citizens — were detained by immigration agents in Albany Park Friday. blockclubchi.co/4hDz8Cu

There has to be STANDARDS for a political party. People will rally behind standards. Telling people to hold their nose and vote for someone they HATE so as to prevent another person they HATE from doing the SAME SHIT is illogical and a losing strategy

The Democratic Party should be in every major city and small rural area running food drives and registering people to vote right now. But they wont. Because “at least we’re not Trump” doesnt require any thoughts or demands. It’s just “shut up and vote for us.” And that is a losing strategy

Noem’s own DHS press office statement contradicts her obvious, bald-faced lie

It’s just stunning how much this administration despises the American people.

Me when I lie:
