If you're looking for a weekend pod, check out our conversation with Chris Murphy. He delivers one of clearest descriptions yet of the dangers of the moment and offers the strongest case yet for Dems to maximize their resistance. Audio here, highlights threaded below. newrepublic.com/article/2013...

@aau.edu represents the big research institutions--they are key. Find out if your college or university is part of @AAU.edu and then make fuss now: an op-ed in campus paper, alert alums, get faculty involved. They cannot fold.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov @mayorofchicago.bsky.social Your officers are being impacted. How will you help them? Otherwise they are merely warm bodies on the street for what purpose? Why are they not prepared for chemical agents to be used? DHS does not respect your city. Prepare & act like it

This video was taken by a local resident who reportedly saw a man being beaten by ICE agents at 37th and Kedzie.

The whole thread. ICE is a bunch of thugs and bullies. Fuck them.

Four U.S. citizen children were detained in an ICE raid—zip-tied, separated, held for hours. Imagine if these were your precious little ones! Can you close your eyes to this depravity? Please don't. Remember If this could happen to these little kids, it can happen to yours. Speak out now!

I waited to post this until I had permission from the writer. This is real and it's frightening. The blood running through the veins/arteries of the monsters in the R' party/Project 2025/Russell Vought has been replaced with cruelty and evil. 😡🤬😭

This is straight up horrifying. Powerful tech in the hands of evil people. What could possibly go wrong? And where does it end? Who do they go after next? This is a fucking surveillance state. Nobody wants this. STAND UP, Americans. Fight back.

BREAKING: An FBI agent has been fired for refusing to arrest and perp walk James Comey. HERO.

In order for the United States to become a party to the International Criminal Court and have our officials be subject to trial at The Hague, the US Senate would need to ratify the Rome statute by a two-thirds vote. Let’s start running on that.

We need Governor Pritzker to speak to us about this. He said if ICE hurt his people, he would hurt them. I love the Gov. but now is the time to push back on this shit. File a lawsuit. Talk to the State Police: what the fuck were they doing out there today with billy clubs? We need to hear from him.

Next year, a lot of folks are going to see their premiums go up $1,000 or more per month because of a Republican policy. If you start having to pay $1,000 extra every month, what will you stop being able to afford? This is what Democrats are fighting to stop.

So Big Brother will be watching you. Just so you know.

LOL, needed a laugh after the onslaught of terrible news today.

I love this

@govpritzker.illinois.gov What are we doing about this? How can I help? This is absolutely unthinkable, and yet, here we are. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Well this is especially dark.

Classic case of They’ve got theirs and fuck the rest of us.

Yup.

Downtown Chicago, today. The little girl …

HUGE

🚨BREAKING: Minutes after Missouri Governor signs new rigged congressional map, my law firm filed a lawsuit on behalf of affected voters. The lawsuit seeks to block implementation of the redrawn congressional map. www.democracydocket.com/cases/missou...

“They’re, they’re animals anyway. That’s what I would tell my kids all the time,” said the ICE agent, according to body cam footage. spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-...

Wait-wut? Let me guess: They got the wrong guy? (Because they’ve been so astute and upstanding to date.) www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Guess this ought to go viral!

Road rage: “Never come back to the US again!” US customs and border protection agent chases and harasses a Canadian driver.

Pay attention, Chicago area friends.

100% correct. Un-elected, un-likable, un-American Bigot-secretly-in-charge. Right up there among the MANY worst things about this regime.

Thank you. I needed a laugh just now!

JB! Go ILLINOIS!!

Meta is just straight-up dangerous. I’m ashamed of my FB participation, but the “groups” feature provides so much excellent info that might be very difficult to replicate elsewhere.

Bondi fires a Jewish lawyer while he was out of the office for Rosh Hashanah (and fires him for illegal reasons)

And then there’s this. #NaziPlaybook

youtube.com/shorts/Hq2Ki... Dems pay attention

I have three potential predictions about the Comey indictment: 1) it gets thrown out of court, 2) the DOJ drops it, 3) the DOJ goes down in flames at trial. No way this ends well for them.

Welcome to the new America

This has also occurred to me. Anyone else?

Kimmel: If we don’t have free speech, we don’t have a free country. It’s as simple as that. If this most fundamental right perishes, the rest of our rights will topple like dominoes. That’s how democracies dies, not with a bang, but with a government telling you what you can & cannot say on TV. 👏👏

If you live in Seattle or Portland, here is your way to watch Kimmel anyway. youtu.be/c1tjh_ZO_tY?...

Why do these people keep talking about the rapture? You know, that thing that never actually happens?

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
