NEW: @govpritzker.illinois.gov's office says 3 masked ICE agents stopped & questioned an IL Department of Transportation employee working in Park Ridge about his immigration status & whether he had traveled to New York and his awareness of NYC Mayor-elect @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social before leaving.

President Donald Trump claims that his takeover of policing in Washington, D.C., has made the city safer. Data shows that shootings *are* down in the nation’s capital — but the decline started months before the president put troops on its streets.

A distraught man came to Broadview searching for his wife of five years after she was taken by ICE at her court hearing. He wasn’t told anything, tracked her by her phone, and was left weeping in the parking lot.

It's the first Friday of the month, which means we've gone 2 months now without a jobs report. For Trump, this is a feature of the shutdown, not a bug, since private surveys show the job market slowing dramatically. But without official data he's able to keep lying about it.

TOMORROW! 8:30am - whenever we run out of supplies! We’ll be back at Potter’s House handing out hygiene supplies & winter gear now that the cold weather is officially here! Stop by & say hi to the team, buy some breakfast at Potter’s House & pay it forward to keep their morning meal program going!

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

Last Saturday my little community raised $10,000 for Feeding America, which they turn into 100,000 meals. I run a meme account and have done more for the hungry in this country than the president, who is intentionally starving women and children for no reason.

When official sources of information dry up or become unreliable, rumors and conspiracy theories take their place. That does not always bode well for whoever is in power.

I'm one of the four fired employees. I was a writer & producer at Bon Appétit for nearly five years, during which I helped organize our union and sat on our bargaining committee. I am, to my knowledge, the only trans woman in our union and the only trans woman on editorial who doesn't work at Them

While other federal and military retirees will be paid during the shutdown, NOAA and USPHS (Public Health Service) retirees like us will not get their pensions. So if you know someone retired from USPHS or NOAA, check on them, please. They may need your help. www.militarydefense.com/pending-clas....

Immigration judges with prior immigrant defense work make up the largest share of those fired by the Trump admin. NPR identified 70 fired immigration judges. The changes have at least shifted perception of fairness in these courts My latest investigation: www.npr.org/2025/11/06/g...

FULL STORY: Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino, who led a series of increasingly aggressive raids across Chicago and its suburbs, lied about firing tear gas at protesters in Little Village and tackling a man outside the Broadview ICE facility, a federal judge said Thursday. @wttw.bsky.social

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

As if the SCOTUS decision wasn't bad enough, the 6th circuit said "hold my beer" and explicitly created a constitutional right to bully trans kids who are already at tremendous risk of self harm and suicide. These judges want dead trans kids.

Honestly one of the worst, most disturbing paragraphs — on the basis of process, substance, and effect — I’ve read in a Supreme Court order or opinion in a very long time.

Trump is leaving families to starve but communities are stepping up. That he’s trying to interfere proves Trump really just wants kids and families to go hungry. I just introduced a bill to protect stores that offer discounts to SNAP recipients if they choose to.

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents. I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

Don't talk to the New York Times about trans issues. They will betray your trust and use your story to undermine access to care. That's exactly what Azeen Ghorayshi did with families of trans kids in Missouri.

When I was 12 you could get the t-shirt below for free if you bought 3 packs of cigarettes. I did so thinking I’d give the cigarettes away. None of my 12 yr old friends wanted them so I smoked them. By end of 3rd pack I was addicted & smoked for years. Just as RJ Reynolds intended! 🇺🇸🚬#marketing

Never forget The onion has possibly never been more real than this

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

About 10% of babies in the U.S. are born early, which can lead to lifelong health problems. While air pollution has already been linked to preterm birth, this is one of the biggest studies so far to look specifically at wildfire smoke as a contributor. www.upi.com/Health_News/...

Despite their daunting complexity, we have done the maths

📽️ WATCH: We reviewed 700+ videos, hours of footage from ICE protesters and counterprotesters in Portland. Trump justified the deployment of National Guard troops by calling the city "War ravaged," with an ICE office under siege. That's not what we found. 🔗 Full story: https://propub.li/43fRCmF

Damn... this one is rough.

dems really need to make an issue out of this and force action on it before the midterms, its unacceptable and its becoming a republican election strategy www.nj.com/passaic-coun...

thank you for the outpouring of support! those of us laid off from Teen Vogue yesterday are now sharing our GoFundMe to help us cover our emergency expenses now that we've lost our incomes, as we get back on our feet.

President Donald Trump's administration has revoked around 80,000 non-immigrant visas since its inauguration on January 20 for offenses ranging from driving under the influence to assault and theft, a senior State Department official said on Wednesday.

BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting. If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.

If it goes up, don’t cross the picket line. Collective action is the only way we ever get things done.

And this is why the corporate class shut down Teen Vogue.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

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.
