Mother speaks out after ICE raids #Chicago day care center. “They are coming for all our children!” #immigration

Holy shit

New graffiti art in my Rogers Park, Chicago, neighborhood.

Kristi Noem blasts “foreigners” for dangerous driving. According to the Rapid City Journal, that state’s court records show Noem had 20 speeding tickets dating back to 1989, alongside other violations, including failure to stop at an intersection and invalid license plates.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

My carving for this year.

The time to organize with your neighbors and your community is right now.

ICE has been cracking down hard across the vast expanse of the greater Chicago area, and I wrote a little bit about what you need to understand about what it’s like here now. Plus, I compiled some resources for locals to get alerts and whistles. dansinker.com/posts/202…

L.A. TACO caught up with Leo Martinez of VC Defensa to get his full breakdown on what happened the day ICE agents rammed and T-boned his truck out in Oxnard on the morning of Thursday, October 16th. Reporting by Izzy Ramirez & Aisha Wallace-Palomares Editing by Errin Vasquez

You're not gonna believe who is funding the destruction of the White House. Ok, ok, maybe you will...

Wow. Chicago shows up. "With their city caught in the country’s largest immigration enforcement operation, as many as 250,000 Chicagoans flooded Downtown on Saturday to condemn Donald Trump’s administration as part of the second nationwide No Kings protest." blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/18/t...

So proud of Chicago for turning out 250,000 strong to let Trump know how we feel about his terror campaign against our city. Incredible crowd and like in other big cities, it was peaceful with no arrests. #NoKings

CHICAGO!!!

Wow. Sidney Reid, the DC woman just found not guilty of assaulting an FBI agent, issues a withering and gutsy statement on Trump through her attorneys. "I feel sorry for the prosecutors really, who must be burdened by Trump's irrational and unfounded hatred for his fellow man." It's a must-read:

Mike Johnson is covering up for pedophiles. I won't stop saying it.

“The 3.5% rule is a concept in political science that states that when 3.5% of the population of a country protest nonviolently against a government, that government is likely to fall from power.” If you can get to a No Kings rally this Saturday, please do.

Once again, America shows Black folks that our citizenship is like bad wifi. It is not reliable. It goes in and out. ✊🏿

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!! Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

The most honest name in news. Every time. 🎯

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

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

"F*ck that, that's not a strategy....If your strategy for stopping fascism is to hope that a few Republicans in Congress find a conscience or a spine, then get the hell out of here." Me on the useless Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries. Full discussion: zeteo.com/p/the-suspec...

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."

79. American citizen.

Mike Johnson said this kind of rhetoric is highly inflammatory and incites people.

Important thread.

Well said!

For Charlie Kirk’s sake, we should all tone down the political rhetoric, right?

PINK =right wing violence

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

We need an HHS Secretary who respects science and does not make policy based on conspiracy theories. Vaccines are safe and effective. Kennedy is threatening the health of our kids and all Americans. He must resign.

The National Guard is, in some ways, a distraction. What's going to happen in Chicago is going to be a massive ICE enforcement blitz.

If you want to watch it, here's the AP stream (though not live anymore) www.youtube.com/watch?v=RacZ...

A big difference between Republicans and Democrats is that Republicans understand the science of political communication. Republicans dictate the topics/terms of debate while Dems (and the left) usually burn energy in constant response. Thiel and Co call this mimetics, Lakoff calls it framing.

The similarities here between Israeli media & US media are striking but not surprising. Trump and Netanyahu are using the very same authoritarian playbook. Terrible for all involved but especially Gaza.

Neil deGrass Tyson: "How sad it must be believing that scientists, historians, scholars, economists, journalists devoted their entire lives to deceiving you, but a reality-TV star proven in court to be a lying felon is your beacon of truth & honesty"

Trump doesn't seem to see that some people are still immune to his threats. Jack White criticized Trump's Oval Office decor. The White House then called White a "washed-up, has-been loser... masquerading as a real artist." And White, undeterred, posted an absolutely blistering takedown in response.

Reminder that in 2021, Senate Republicans filibustered a bill by Democrats that would have banned partisan gerrymandering of congressional districts.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "I think he should start with Shreveport, Louisiana, and Speaker Johnson's district that has 6x the per capita murder rate of Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco. What about the carnage, Mr. President, in Shreveport? Why aren't you protecting the folks there? What bullshit."

Spend those taxpayers dollars with hard-on’s at “work”

There’s renewable energy ads and there’s mother**cking wind farm ads. This, blissfully, is the latter.
