i really think there is legit political space for running on "we are going to dismantle ICE"

a better world is not only possible it's way the fuck easier than anyone thinks

I think the big lesson for the left in general is that opportunities for anything good to happen are rare and mostly due to dumb luck so you better be ready to take advantage when they show up

You're forgetting that while it's fine for the world to be completely unfair all the time, it is not ok for it to be unfair to one individual who thinks they deserve something at a specific point

@parkermolloy.com get out the vote for Abolish Ice as the new snowplpw name!

Chicago is naming another snowplow. You know what to do. www.chicago.gov/city/en/dept...

This is the compromise? This is the bipartisanship? This is the civility? This is the return to normalcy? This is the price of winning? WHAT WILL YOU HAVE WON

i want to be clear about this: worker’s rights also includes the right to be free from racist or sexist or gendered abuse at your job.

fat bear week is good, but don't forget about borb season

"oouuuhhgg its dark and its cold and the sun is only out for 6 hours a day ouuuhggg" shut up its perfect. the world has been reborn anew. the peace swallows your suffering. have you no magic in your heart.

These are meaningful in creating a visible "culture of defiance," which in turn encourage further courageous acts of solidarity.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

How The Feds Used Propaganda To Frame Their ‘War’ On Chicago: ‘They’re Lying Constantly’ blockclubchicago.org/2025/12/04/h...

All super rich guys sound the same now. It’s all “I sleep four hours a night and spend the other twenty hours a day developing a product that’s going to bring us the best widespread poverty anyone’s ever seen.”

Disappointed to see this. 160 union workers are fighting for a fair contract at Individualized Shirts, a US factory that makes high-end men's button-ups. The managers there have rejected the union's request for fair wages and health insurance. The union is asking for support 🧵

This is so incredible. You have to see the photos. These workers held the line for THREE YEARS www.publicsource.org/post-gazette...

We really needed Captain Dismantle Capitalism

ICE’s Detention Center outside Chicago was sued on October 30 for allegedly abusing detainees. One day later, a "system crash" lost all video footage that could have shown how detainees were being treated. trib.al/QwT3aqI

This is their circular “bootstrap eugenics” ethos: if you’re poor, you’re lazy. If you’re poor & working 3 jobs, you’re stupid. If you’re sick, you didn’t take care of yourself. If you took care of yourself & got sick, you’re weak & expendable. And on & on.

The Onion is the only legacy media I trust

"Please trust us now when we say that what is happening in the Chicago area is wrong *** It is not law enforcement; it is terror."

I don't trust these bitches. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/10/f...

we all started thinking better things are possible and they had to nip that in the bud immediately

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

Shutting it down for the night with this post from a comrade in Chicago: 🎶"I wish I could give you this feeling. I wish I could give you this feeling."🎶

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.

Man. Trump's crimes against taste are the least of his crimes but they are still terrible

one thing that other candidates need to learn from mamdani is how to deliver the most cold blooded attacks on an opponent with a smile on your face

Normal people are just sick to fucking death of the cruelty and meanness

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

what do the popularists do when their voters say "bring us the heads of republicans"

Klein is right that Dems have to win in red states and that the party should be engaging in some soul-searching right now. But the soul-searching should begin with basic facts. Moderation *is* the current strategy and Dems are losing despite having a popular agenda. More of the same won't fix it.

ICE/CBP is rampaging through the burbs again this morning. Sightings and kidnappings reported across Bolingbrook, Summit, Addison, Bensenville, Melrose Park, Brookfield.

“You can’t just call a guy a nazi simply because he’s friends with nazis, defends nazis, says being anti nazi is bad, and is working to create a fascist America” - The Atlantic and NYT

to the press, online spaces are somehow both the medium through which political actors and citizens form their views about the world, useful for gauging the temperature, and also, simultaneously, not “real” in the sense that certain trends or things that happen there are newsworthy

Let’s be real: approximately ten seconds after you told Tolkien that Catholics couldn’t go to Mass because they were afraid of being disappeared by agents of the government, he’d be out there protesting.

Furthermore public transit teaches you how to live with temporary minor annoyances and cars teach you that you're god's most special baby and your moment-to-moment comfort is the only important thing in the world

I also feel like we need to revise the art of actual curses. Not profanity, curses. May everything you eat turn to dust in your mouth. May each night crawl by with no sleep. My favorite from Saeed Jones: "You sound lonely and so you will die lonely. May the groundskeeper forget your grave."

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

“Public opinion can change if you actually talk about something with conviction“ is a fundamental part of politics that pundits and always online politics junkies have cynically driven out of every single conversation and it’s a big reason why we’re here now

Well this is fun. My brakes need replacing and my battery is corroded. Total cost is going to be $942 which I can cover but it will make things very tight for paying rent on the 1st. I need help covering about $300 to make this easier. V3nmo: @ dexanderson

"I'll die for this shit" The wind sank out of their sails, and they left without completing this kidnapping. It's not going to get easier to raise our voices, but we must stay loud

Outside the Chicago area ICE detention center in Broadview this afternoon, fed caravans are coming and going to drop off captives. ICE and CBP are kidnapping people all over the city and suburbs today—our new "normal." As usual, we've seen several vehicles with no license plates enter.
