DUIs should disqualify you for public office

Damn The Divine, Arbitrage is the NEW new name for Shotspotter? #FriendsAtTheTable

Overall, we have tallied 4x more protests through Jan 31, 2026 than we had through Jan 31, 2018

No, the people of Minneapolis. Not the city. Not Jacob Frey. Not the city that is doing nothing to help. The people.

LET'S GO (Will we get to keep the Greyhound station?)

New Mexico’s governor signed the bill this morning. It is going to be rolled out on May 20.

and Chicago!

"I" makes up 20% of trains, but "trans" makes up 80% of trains

WE ARE SO BACK

Grabbed this info sheet from the library resource desk. The library providing the political education.

Martinez ends her testimony with this: "If there's not justice for the people, let there be no peace for the government."

Forever pissed that this worm got elected and Bring Chicago Home failed to pass by tiny margins in the same 2024 primary.

Me Too did not go far enough

'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once

I’m starting to see signs of seasons changing For example “ICE is not permitted here” signs in store windows are beginning to turn into “Abolish ICE” signs.

As a former border reporter who crossed multiple times a week in order to do my job I can tell you that from the bottom of my heart, because of my work and what I saw, I believe that borders should not exist

For the record, I'm fine with open borders. Especially if this is the alternative. Fuck this.

This is extremely good news! We won't stop until every one of our kidnapped neighbors is home.

If you went back to 2010, and played me Rebecca Black’s “Friday” and anything by Grimes, and told me that in 15 years one would be a critically acclaimed queer icon, and the other would be a global laughingstock with a walk-on role in the rise of American fascism, well, I’d never have guessed right.

A general strike is a great idea, and to make it happen, I need you to organize your coworkers into a union at your workplace

If table stakes isn't DHS releasing every last person swept up in these raids, what are you even doing?

Mother Cabrini is the pro-Catholic choice, Dulbecco the anti-Catholic (and pro-get-your-HPV-vaccine) choice

I have a technology that helps with the housing crisis: it's called "public housing".

GANTRY GANG RISE UP

Inheritors of the promise of the March Revolution

Yooo that's what's up! I guess Raja's BFFs can't help him buy the Senate race anymore

From watching what's going on at Northwestern right now...they're the same picture

Good thread on the Heritage Foundation's homophobic and patriarchal BS

Messages between Michael Sacks (top Northwestern University donor) and Michael Schill (Northwestern University's president at the time of the encampment)

No child should live in detainment. No child is illegal. A country that jails children must be stopped.

It is a shame and a scandal that Cook County States Attorney Eileen O'Neill Burke is not on this list. Call her office at 312-603-1880 to ask why, and why she is not fighting to prosecute the murderers of Silverio Villegas Gonzalez.

With the multiple fatalities and serious injuries at Addison and Inner Lake Shore drive recently, I double down with my concern about the cyclist safety on the Grace greenway eastern terminus at Waveland and Inner Lake Shore drive. It needs to be a concrete protected intersection.

If you're wondering why Chicago isn't on this list, well, that's a good question for Eileen O'Neill Burke

There's apparently body cam footage of Alex's murder. Do people know this? This lets you know that a demand for body cams is USELESS and in fact just a way to give more money to the killers.

The thing about body cams is that they're already fucking recording shit. We have the murderer's POV of him murdering Renee Good! Stop fucking giving them money to kill people and traffic children!

Add this to the list of reasons to not vote for Raja Krishnamoorthi for senate

You could actually structure your moral code around the idea that law enforcement doesn't exist to execute people. You don't have to create perfect victim narratives, you can just refuse to accept that the state gets to kill people.

She's right!

I keep thinking about this fact that his last words were are you okay and hers were I'm not mad at you and it feels like a weird coincidence but it's just a reflection of the fact that the people who are coming out to take care of their neighbors are good and the people who are after them are bad

You read things like this and you can only hope that when the time comes, if it comes, when it is your community's turn to be tested, that you acquit yourselves half as well.

FINALLY I HAVE WANTED THIS FOR YEARS

We will outlive ICE.

Lurie marks a year of cowardice with more cowardice

‘Law enforcement’ is a lie that legitimates atrocities.

Kids in cages. They're still putting kids in cages. They're escalating to try and put more kids in cages.

Pastors working for ICE Sex workers running mutual aid for immigrants Which one looks more like Jesus???

The so called ‘war on terror’ was actually itself a campaign to terrorize people at home and abroad. ICE was a product of that, which is clarifying.

They expect - they NEED - the people they threaten to fall in line, like the law firms and universities and media companies and billionaires and Congress did. If you say “No, make me,” they simply do not have a Plan B. TRUMP DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH GUYS TO MAKE YOU.
