Every day I’ve been getting angrier when I think about how maga, the so called alpha male bros, always punch down at people who are less fortunate or struggling. This isn’t manliness. It’s cowardly, it’s shameful, and it makes you look like a tiny little douche face

“No one man can terrorize a whole nation, unless we are all his accomplices.” -Edward R. Murrow

If U.S. states have any degree of sovereignty, if there’s any states’ rights at all, it is the right not to be invaded by the armed forces of another U.S. state.

Call it what it is

Chicago priest Father Michael Pfleger: "The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president and his admin's reign of terror." ( ht: @mikenellis.bsky.social )

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks don’t even have a shred of compassion. It’s one thing to enforce laws and rules. It’s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation

My message to Kristi Noem is clear: Get out of Chicago.

I can’t get over this. Trump bailed out Argentina farmers with $20 billion of our tax dollars, then China turned around and bought soybeans from them instead of US farmers. Not AMERICA FIRST, America got played.

In the American system of government, a legislature of the people’s elected representatives decide how to allocate the people’s money, then an unelected appointee in the executive branch called “OMB Director” decides if he feels like distributing the people’s money that way or if he’d rather not.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

Spot on.

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

🚨”…The only way we win is if we stand up for others before that weapon is pointed at us.” Sound ⬆️ and pay attention! 1/2

In the first quarter of 2025, farm bankruptcies increased by 95% Remember: the policies leading to bankruptcy are purposeful. Our food supply is in danger…there is no better way to bring a country to its knees than having control of its food supply.

Talarico: In the New Testament, Jesus spends most of his time healing the ill rather than preaching or praying. Currently, some Congress members, who claim to follow Christ, are removing healthcare from those in need.

Federal agents reporting to Secretary Noem have spent weeks snatching up families, scaring law-abiding residents, violating due process rights, and even detaining U.S. citizens. They fail to focus on violent criminals and instead create panic in our communities.

Trumpnomics: Get tariff money from US consumers on Chinese goods. Our farmers can’t sell their products because the Chinese refuse to pay our tariffs. China buys from farmers in Argentina instead. We send Argentina $20 billion. Then we pay our farmers to throw their crops away.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

Swear her in.

BREAKING: Striking workers are currently storming Tesla showrooms in Paris, demanding higher taxes on the ultra-wealthy. (🎥 Luc Auffret)

“There is something genuinely wrong with this man and the 25th amendment ought to be invoked.” Truth bomb from @govpritzker.illinois.gov 💣

“There is something genuinely wrong with this man and the 25th Amendment ought to be invoked!”

We are who we protect, I think, what we stand up for.

"The least I can do is speak out for those who cannot speak for themselves" Rest easy Jane 🫶🏽

Boeing paid its CEO $18 million for 4 months of work while taking away health care benefits from 3200 machinists in St. Louis who have been on strike for 2 months & were making as little as $18 an hour. I say to the CEO of Boeing: End your greed. Sign a fair union contract NOW.

Priorities.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

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

👇🏽😳

I can’t think of any reason to completely wreck the ag markets in entire United States other than purposeful sabotage. A fire sale on farmland.

There is no bailout that will solve this problem. It took decades to create the markets for beans and months to devastate the markets for beans. NY Times: China Bought $12.6 Billion in U.S. Soybeans Last Year. [52% of exports] Now, It’s $0.

Pritzker: “ICE is running around the Loop harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States. Now, ICE is making it commonplace.”

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

Priztker: if federal agents fired upon journalists and protesters, when unprovoked, what would we call it?  I don't think we'd have any trouble calling it what it is. Authoritarianism.  So let's not pretend it's something else when it happens in our American cities.

ICE Trump regime troopers attacking David Black, a US citizen and pastor of First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, for advocating for human rights outside of the ICE processing facility in Broadview, Illinois. (Sept 21, 2025)

Stop the scapegoating and start dealing with America’s real gun crisis. HOMEGROWN‼️

I can’t tell you how much good could be done right now by average citizens socially cold-shouldering anyone tangentially working for ICE.

Republicans don't need a single democrat to keep the government open. If the government shuts down, it's because republicans want it to.
