Our ranks are broke, and ruin follows us.

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

❌👑 This month, we’re rising up together once more to say: NO THRONES - NO CROWNS - NO KINGS! 📅📍Sat. March 28, 1:30 pm, Grant Park. ℹ️ bit.ly/NoKingsChiMarch28 👊 We're proud to work with our organizing partners ACLU of IL, @chicagolabor.bsky.social, Equality IL, ICIRR, Personal PAC, Sierra Club IL.

There’s more evidence that Donald Trump raped kids than there is that the 2020 election was stolen.

Cartoon of the day....

I still can’t believe Chicago named a snowplow Abolish ICE. This truly is the shirt that keeps on giving. Bonus: $8 per shirt sold goes to the @icirr.bsky.social (and $1 of every sticker) #chicago

There are 3 parties in the USA: 1. Fascists 2. Corrupt Corporatists 3. Democratic Socialists Which one are you?

‼️‼️‼️ Renee Good did NOT deserve to have her brains blown out in front of her dog for not complying with armed vigilantes who were terrorizing HER community. You simply arrest, fine and release. YOU DO NOT MURDER! ARREST ICE AGENT ROSS NOW ‼️‼️‼️

🚨🚨 Trump MURDERED an ICU nurse THEN called him a terrorist! Alex Pretti saved lives for a living!! Trump repaid this American citizen by pumping 10 BULLETS into him and is now lying about it Anyone who supports this brutal lynching should be considered an accomplice and dealt with accordingly 🚨🚨

You see where this Country is heading, right?

Joanne Bland, one of the youngest people to march on “Bloody Sunday,” has died. She was 72. "By the time I was 11-years-old, I had been arrested at least 13 documented times”

Cut the check, Donald Trump.

Oh. My. God…. 🤣

Frozen Flashback on Friday. Chicago on this day five years ago. Today, we're back to cold again after our "fake spring". Winter isn't over yet!

FOLKS. The Chicago Cubs play A BASEBALL GAME today!

Nailed it.

111 Years Ago Today: The Onion February 19, 1915 Frontpage

UK: Prince Andrew arrested. South Korea: Former President Yoon sentenced for life. Brazil: Former President Bolsonaro serving a 27-year sentence. USA: President Trump demands $10 billion payout from taxpayers.

New — This was projected on the US Institute of Peace building this evening ahead of the first meeting tomorrow of Trump’s farcically-named “Board of Peace.” Photo taken by person who was over there tonight. Unclear who’s behind the projection.

Rep. Ted Lieu: "Donald Trump is in the Epstein files thousands & thousands of times. In those files, there's highly disturbing allegations of Donald Trump raping children, of Donald Trump threatening to kill children."

Why did The Justice Department DELETE these files? WE NEED ANSWERS NOW!

There’s only 1 person in Congress who doesn’t trade stocks, doesn’t take corporate PAC money, and has a public schedule. That’s me. And it should be the standard.

A titan of civil rights remembered. An advanced look at tomorrow's front page, featuring the Rev. Jesse Jackson.

Facts.

President Obama and Michelle Obama just got a Standing Ovation at the All Star Game:👏 Of course that did..

Donald Trump must be tried for war crimes and pay the ultimate price for murder

Silverio Villegas González, Keith Porter, Renee Good, Alex Pretti. All killed by ICE. A memorial for them outside Broadview ICE detention center. #abolishice

An image we won't soon forget. Attorney General Pam Bondi refused to look at Epstein survivors pictured behind her on the Hill today.

Ro Khanna names 6 Epstein co-conspirators who the DOJ was protecting up until yesterday: Salvatore Nuara Zurab Mikeladze Leonic Leonov Nicola Caputo Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem & Leslie Wexner He asks congress to cease having 2 tiers of justice & finally hold the Epstein class accountable for crimes.

We now have confirmation that the Social Circle warehouse cost ICE $130 million, bringing the total spent on warehouses to $714 million. ICE is also reportedly planning on buying a second warehouse in Oakwood, GA and is finalizing the sale now. Billions more will be spent on retrofitting/staffing.

NEW: U.S. Magistrate Judge Maria Valdez has granted the feds' motion to dismiss in the Operation Midway Blitz case against Erik Meier. He's the 16th of 32 known Midway Blitz defendants cleared. No known convictions.

Here is my conclusion after sitting through Maxwell's deposition with her refusing to answer a single question about the men who raped underage girls, saying she would only do so for clemency. She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.

In between gaslighting Americans about the economy & sucking up to Trump, Lutnick took up TV air time to lie about his relationship with Epstein. He visited Epstein’s island in 2012 yet claimed he cut ties with Epstein years earlier. What else is he hiding? He must resign.

Perfect

🚨 Epstein survivors release this powerful PSA in advance of the Super Bowl demanding answers from the Justice Department. This is the Super Bowl ad every American should see. Spread it everywhere.

HAPPY BAD BUNNY DAY, AMERICA. ENJOY!!! —GOVERNOR GCN

The brilliance, elegance, and beauty of Barack & Michelle Obama.

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology www.nature.com/articles/d41...

JUST IN: Trump DELETES racist post depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes, blames a "White House staffer." Karoline Leavitt previously defended the post and criticized the public outcry as "fake outrage."

When Leavitt was asked about it, she defended it & said there was nothing wrong with it. Now after huge backlash they took it down & are blaming a staffer. Because it’s always the staffers & advisors, never Trump himself. Even when it’s up on his personal account for 12 hours.

Now GOP lawmakers can say they didn't see the tweet!
