ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Chicago. Chokeholds are illegal unless your life is in danger.

Free Greta Thunberg and the rest of the illegally detained flotilla activists.

Your gentle reminder that Rep. Melissa Hortman was assassinated on June 14 and hardly anyone bothered to talk about it.

"Jones, 27, is among the residents left at 7500 S. South Shore Drive who are trying to piece together what remains after an early morning, high-powered federal immigration raid led to the arrests of dozens of their neighbors at their South Shore apartment building."

Yesterday I learned from @radleybalko.bsky.social how Nixon’s no-knock warrants had similar affects. Only then, supports in Congress changed their minds after seeing what was happening. Must’ve been nice bc this Congress won’t rein this in.

Jeffries: In that Oval Office meeting, which lasted over an hour, the amount of time spent talking about health insurance for undocumented immigrants was less than 10 seconds. You know why? Because they know it’s a lie. They didn’t even bother to bring it up—because the cameras weren’t rolling.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

She called it. The media blew it by letting a serial liar off the hook

Trump during the campaign: I never even heard of Project 2025, don’t know anything about it, don’t know who is involved. Trump today:

My niece is a third year cadet at West Point. Hearing the dotard leading our military frothing his anti-women anti-minority bile makes me scared for all of us, but specifically scared for her. He not only endangers our troops but also risks our national security.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Here you go...

ICE has erected a gate to keep protesters out. They are blocking a public street, despite the Broadview Fire Department ordering ICE to tear it down. Join us at 1930 Beach Street. 7-9 AM. Tell Broadview to tear this fence down.

Julie Brown is a hero in every sense. Her relentless reporting ripped open the Jeffrey Epstein case when powerful people wanted it buried. Honestly, I don’t think we’d even be talking about Epstein today if it weren’t for her. Please consider following her: @jkbjournalist.bsky.social

Goebbles or Miller?

A Swedish nationwide study published in JAMA in 2024 found NO causal link between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability in children. It examined data on 2.5 MILLION children born between 1995 and 2019. ENOUGH ALREADY.

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

This administration spent an estimated $450 million on a camp to hold 1,800 people they kidnapped off the streets. A judge ordered it to be shut down and now over 800 people are missing. This is URGENT‼️🚨 Please contact your MOCs and demand they investigate! PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DISAPPEARED‼️

"I have spent the last few weeks addressing and preparing for a military invasion by the President of the United States. No, I’m not a soldier or a foreign adversary. I’m the Governor of Illinois"

Just 2 gun rights advocates sitting behind a wall of bulletproof glass while enjoying a memorial for a gun rights advocate who got murdered by a gun.

No commentary. I’m just asking you to please share this with friends and family: Before following guidance from RFK Jr’s CDC on children’s vaccines or health, do this… 📌 Google: RFK Jr. and Children’s Health Defense — conspiracies 📌 Google: RFK Jr. and Children’s Health Defense — measles

"A republic, if you can keep it" -- Benjamin Franklin

America is not a free country.

A republic, if you can keep it.

This is so TRUE, it's enough to make my/your head spin.

@msnbc.com Want to apologize to Matthew Dowd and rehire him? He actually had the fortitude to say what’s true. I strongly disagree with you firing him.

So Matthew Dowd was right. Will MSNBC re-hire him?

Jan 6th was right wing fueled Paul Pelosi attack was right wing fueled Minnesota Speaker murder was right wing fueled Charlie Kirk shooting was right wing fueled Pass it on.

1. In the immediate aftermath of Charlie Kirk's shooting, the WSJ laundered claims that "transgender symbols" were found with the shooter's gun. Now, a press conference reveals that NO such symbols were found. WSJ owes a full retraction and apology. Subscribe to support our journalism.

This is a Melissa Hortman appreciation account for the next 24 hours.

The U.S. government has become a neofascist regime run by a sociopath. Keeping it funded now is to participate in the most atrocious abuse of power in U.S. history. So I for one have decided that the best route is to shut the whole thing down.

The New Yorker asked me “how bad” today’s Supreme Court ruling was. I boiled it down to one paragraph: link.newyorker.com/view/5bda429...

We are at a CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS. There is nothing that this corrupt 6-3 white supremacist Supreme Court Will not do in the name of racism, xenophobia, civil rights, rule of law. Civil War is about all that's left, once the courts, Congress, and the military no longer hold.

no surprised that brett ”almost certainly flunked his remedial classes” kavanaugh thinks the constitution authorizes a race-based federal “papers please” regime. quick, someone ask him what he thinks of the fugitive slave act.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Chicago Mayor Deploys Salt Trucks as Mobile Barricades to Block ICE Operations

This. 👇👇👇 JB Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: Once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?”

The streets of Chicago are full with tens of thousands of people standing up to ICE and Trump. Join us.

DO NOT FUCK WITH CHICAGO‼️

The brand Tylenol was released in 1955. Autism was first described in the 1940s, well before Tylenol’s release in 1955. Rates of diagnosed autism began to rise notably in the 1980s and 1990s, largely due to broadened diagnostic criteria and greater awareness, not acetaminophen use.

This is a good idea. Everyone in Chicago should start posting pics showing how peaceful it is there.

I want to give those of you who have not been exposed to this new strain of Covid a warning. It is very insidious. I have had it now for almost 3 weeks it does not want to go away. I thought I was getting better, but now having a problem breathing. Please be careful especially the immunocompromised.
