This is disgusting.

I had to give my ex half my retirement fund just to get out of the marriage. Why? Because we BOTH decided that he would stay at home and manage our kids’ acting careers. I’m sure Adam benefited from having his wife stay home to do all the shopping and cleaning and other shit he never had to do.

This deal fails on the one thing we promised to deliver for the American people. Millions of Americans' health care costs will skyrocket, and we have nothing to reassure them with but the hope that Speaker Johnson will do the right thing. For that reason, I am a no on the Senate deal.

I love this!

Pretty much all affordability discourse could benefit from just posting this chart. If you're in the better off America, all the luxury goods you want in excess are for the most part much cheaper. If you're in the poorer America, most of the shit you need to live/grow is more expensive.

For the blue no matter who crowd - telling me that if I don’t like my Dem elected, I can “just primary them” … you clearly don’t know how hard it is to oust an incumbent OR you’re just making a stupid argument.

Sickening. I hope they enjoy the snow since most of them aren’t from here. If they think this will keep us inside and afraid, they’re wrong.

Democrats in office need to know: all of us with very few exceptions want all of you with very few exception to lose your god damn jobs because you refuse to do them.

son brought home a pinto bean plant from school last spring. it yielded one (1) bean, which we planted. *that* plant yielded ... one (1) bean, which we have also planted. Five months of cultivation has yielded two beans. anyway, you were saying something about "grow your own food"

Note that you cannot leave a voicemail message for @durbin.senate.gov at ANY of his offices which is bullshit. I will send a message via his website. But since he’s retiring, it seems like he cares more about his buddies in the GOP than his constituents so I’m not holding my breath.

I was dismayed that Justice Jackson granted the stay that the DOJ requested but that’s because I didn’t realize what she had actually done. She did the least bad thing she could have done under the terrible circumstances of this situation.

This is a lie. All 31 Moms for Liberty candidates in contested races lost their 2025 elections. The only "wins" were in uncontested races. Apparently, being hypocritical, book-banning scolds isn't so popular.

They want to make America return to 1776 and rewrite the history books.

It's important to remember that authoritarians want to create a dog-eat-dog atmosphere where people are willing to throw others under the bus. They want to shape reality in their own image. They want selfishness and cruelty to seem inevitable. But we need to nurture an atmosphere of helping others.

This is a beautiful essay about the heartbreak of fighting ICE/CBP but also the absolutely breathtaking coming together of community to protect and lift each other.

This is a great essay that points out just how ridiculous the “reporting” is at the NYT. Claiming to be “unbiased” while they elevate biased ideas from the right as if they are on equal footing with decades and centuries of scholarship is a choice.

If I recall correctly, it was the GOP that insisted health insurance companies be situated as the middle men between consumers and healthcare providers. Wasn’t that the Romney Plan? So now Trump wants to get rid of insurance companies? Interesting …

My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know they’re all your people."

The feds are afraid of a bunch of people praying outside of a facility holding immigrants? I thought they were all about freedom of religion? You mean to tell me the GOP is full of hypocrites?!?!? Really?!

This is happening hundreds of times every week in Chicago. I know someone who was taken at a court hearing, moved to Indiana then to Kansas. Released in Kansas with no money & no way home but was lucky to have friends who took care of him. He left a wife & 3 small children behind all summer.

The wildest part about the whole "we should pay politicians a lot more so that they're less incentivized to take bribes" idea is the notion that rich people are less corrupt. The people who own the most, who have the most, are often the ones who will do anything to obtain more.

So Facebook was tracking me on the internet making millions off my data and I just got $4.01 in a settlement. 🤷🏻‍♀️

No single person needs this much money. And I have no idea what drugs the institutional shareholders were on when they voted for this bullshit. All I can say is I’m glad I’m no longer in finance facilitating shit like this.

Again, a horrific ruling by a corrupt SCOTUS that is clearly using personal biases against trans people to approve ridiculous Trump policies. This makes literally zero sense. There is no compelling government interest in having passports use gender at birth.

Imagine if this used literally any other country in this piece - it would be ridiculous. As it stands, it’s not only ridiculous, it’s dangerous.

This is a very bad ruling. This will create awful outcomes for trans people with zero legitimate government purpose.

May we rage when we must and rest when we can. May we build the peace we so desperately need. May we turn our hands, in all things, to the justice that peace requires. The only liberation is a shared liberation. May we have courage sufficient to build it. Shabbat Shalom ❤️

www.dhs.gov/news/2025/11... This is absolutely disgusting. The claim that the driver was “an assailant” and that by trying to bring her kids here she was “facilitating human trafficking.” Also they claim Biden was facilitating the invasion of the country by getting her work authorization.

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

🤣🤣🤣 OMG they just can’t help themselves lol

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning. This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

everything about this operation is patched together with loose money, flop sweat & race-hate. when it all crumbles we'll all marvel at how tf we ever allowed this tiny, pustulent splinter of stumblebums to buffalo the entire USA

Chicago supports our community. This rally is to support the day care teacher who was abducted this morning and all the neighbors violently ripped from our community by lawless federal agents.

So you can’t kick a can of tear gas away from you or the ICE agents get skittish and will arrest you for assault. This is so fucking dumb.

Just observed ICE agents transferring detainees between vehicles at Warren Park — city property. This is prohibited.

This is why they’re seriously discussing cutting the library budget. This is why our schools are underfunded. This is why we can’t #PlowTheSidewalks Crime is down, way down, but the police are defunding our city. There is no rational way to justify this. It must end.

I cannot stop laughing. The NYT opinion writers need to cry more. It is an incredibly significant victory. Pretending it isn’t won’t change that.

This was in my neighborhood this morning. She worked with infants at the day care. They’ve ripped a working person away from children who formed a bond with her. I’ve heard that she has a child of her own. They are NOT targeting criminals. They are terrorizing our community. #FuckICE

You see how many of these politicians CARRIED in their election races WITHOUT throwing trans people under the bus? Exactly, exactly.

This morning a landlord lawyer told me they and their Trump supporting client no longer will comply with the Fair Housing Act or settle FHA cases because that's woke, in case you're wondering how it's going

this morning, ICE went into a Spanish language immersion daycare and took a teacher from the building in front of screaming and crying kids and parents at dropoff and the daycare had to shut down for the day (near Lane Tech, where they were yesterday). Really hoping today's "theme" is not "daycare."

The Illinois legislature had passed the “Illinois Bivens Act,” allowing people to sue ICE agents in state court. Just waiting for Pritzker’s signature. dailynorthwestern.com/2025/11/03/c...

Normal People Don’t Want This Shit is running away with the vote tonight

There are more of us than there are of them.

If this does not shake shit up and encourage more progressives to run on progressive issues, I don’t know what will!

CBP agents tossed tear gas at nonviolent protestors “for fun.” But the gas overwhelmed the agents and they had to run away on foot. Fucking brilliant. I’m too angry about the situation to laugh bc innocent people got tear gassed by their own government agents.

This is a classic form of voter intimidation—making people feel like it’s not safe to go to the polls. It moments like this where we need to summon our courage & vote anyhow. Vote in the tradition of the people who marched in Selma to secure the right to vote.

We’ve gotten numb to it but Trump threatening NYC voters with federal funding to vote a certain way is the kind of shit that should get him unanimously impeached today. Insane fascist bullshit.

Third Way doesn't HAVE a primary focus on flipping red and purple seats blue They have a primary focus of taking rich people's money and getting quoted in publications attacking policies that help poor and marginalized people THAT'S IT THAT'S ALL THEY DO Sometimes they have surveys to get quotes
