Do you remember when the White House had good taste? Back when the art had meaning, the rooms had soul, and the President had both.

For Trump: Seafood towers at Mar-A-Lago For Americans: Bread lines

🔥 Yesterday, a group called "14 Suburban Moms" do a civil disobedience protest by crossing the barricade at Broadview and sitting in a circle. ✊🏼 Watch as they get arrested one by one while protestors shout "Mother Power" and blow whistles the way it's done to warn that someone is being detained‼️

In the article below, you can learn how Peter Thiel and Palantir have seized control of all core government infrastructure. Thiel, Karp, and all of the techno-fascist billionaire friends of theirs are the biggest threats to democracy, and they’re moving rapidly, in the cover of American bureaucracy.

this would be my guess, too

Video of members of the community yelling towards Border Patrol Cmdr. Gregory Bovino and federal officers while they conduct an immigration enforcement action Friday in Waukegan.

CBP has been hitting Skokie, outside of Chicago, hard today. At 10:45 today, they jumped out of their vehicles and arrested a man on Lincoln Ave.

Good Morning Everyone A Little Morning Inspiration PAY IT FORWARD This makes my spirit soar ! If you have the means We can help So many Seniors, Children, Veterans, and families This video take a moment I dont know who he is His kindness is overwhelming We're all in this together

That's 391 pounds for every American. Dr. Oz can't math.

Hi Pete, this is all I cover, ask me anything. We’ve sent at least 72 migrants from all over the world to African prisons since May, via one trip to South Sudan, two to Rwanda, two to Eswatini (Swaziland), and three to Ghana. I keep a tracker here: hardghistory.ghost.io/tracking-all...

If you haven’t seen our first ad of the campaign, here it is:

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.

Excuse my language, but wtf

Greetings from the Dirksen federal courthouse, where U.S. District Court Judge Sara Ellis has just taken the bench to rule on federal agents actions' during a series of increasingly aggressive raids across Chicago and the suburbs. Background, for @wttw.bsky.social from @bymattmasterson.bsky.social

Today's great news is here!

The Freedom of Russia resistance movement set fire to dozens of locomotives on the territory of Russia - Ukrainian Defense Intelligence Russian locomotives are used to transport weapons, ammunition, and equipment during combat operations against Ukraine.

This #ICELawlessness is terrifying & If it can happen to them, it can happen to you! They are targeting minorities & making assumptions that every POC is undocumented, or perhaps they don't care. Perhaps the point is just to terrorize people. Call Congress at 202-224-3121. Demand they stop this!

Trauma Nation Everyone living in America is in trauma right now, even the supposedly liberal-tear-quaffing fascists who are all terrified of the future and full of hate. Republicans, and only Republicans, made this.

Employment lawyer here: the number of male employers who genuinely believe they should be able to sleep with their female employees and pay working mothers less than working fathers is most of them. They genuinely believe that it is an injustice against them that they might face repercussions.

new: federal agents have targeted rideshare drivers at o'hare on at least ten separate days since october 10. in some cases, agents returned to abduct drivers multiple times in a single day, taking as many as ten to 20 people each time. via @dmbrown-tboy.bsky.social:

...Governors in Illinois and Oregon are reading the legal briefs and are trying not give the asshole leverage. You and others who keep responding as if you expect a popular rising of local law enforcement against the feds clearly have no fucking clue.

Some moments call for statesmanship. And sometimes you just need a guy from Chicago, Illinois.

My local library is running a free pantry -- what are the best non-perishables to donate

Pete Hegseth is now requiring all tactical vests be BDS (ballistic Deli Sandwich) resistant.

LOL spending more money then you would've been taxed is next level nuts. I want Mamdani to tax them into another PLANET.

Imagine having a kid in this daycare who watches as their teacher is bodily dragged away by masked goons.

Please note this is also in addition to ongoing kidnappings across the suburbs, with sightings reported in more of them than we can even list at the moment. This is daily life now, and there's no one central place reporting them all.

We’re back to the sandwich video. The paper, the defense points out, is still on. “You don’t see there’s mustard on it?” “You can’t tell there’s ketchup on it?” Mayonnaise? Lettuce? Tomato? “In fact, that sandwich hasn’t exploded at all?” Witness says the sandwich “looks bent and out of shape.”

It's publication day for Read This When Things Fall Apart! So grateful to our contributors and to @akpress.org for making this book a reality. This is a strange time to be promoting a book, but I believe it's a text that has the potential to help us right now. Please get yourself a copy. ❤️

The photos in this Chicago Tribune piece… It's a quiet middle-class inner suburb, but these guys look like they're in Fallujah circa 2006. The uniforms indicate Border Patrol and its BORTAC "special operations" unit. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/31/c...

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1979: Ku Klux Klansmen and neo-Nazis kill five and wound 10 others during a march by the Communist Workers Party and African American mill workers in the Morningside Homes housing project in Greensboro, N.C. The event became known as the Greensboro massacre. /1

When I read the full transcript of the interview, I realized there had been no pushback, no corrections, no challenging follow-ups. The entire interview had been an open-ended opportunity for Trump to tell rambling lies, only to have them cleaned up into a more polished product.

Anyhow, have you seen Rama Duwaji's illustrated ceramics? They are so moving! www.ramaduwaji.com/ceramics

Pointing a weapon of war at people objecting to ICE.

War is not about metal and numbers. War is about people - people who sacrifice their lives and health for all of us, so that the war doesn’t reach our homes. Our warrior and fellow countryman, Roman Midlik, who has been fighting since the ATO.

This is brilliant

Hot take but national leaders should know things.

Day 1348 of Russia's genocidal + imperialist war. It's become a race against time. Which collapses first? Russia's economy and ability to fund the killing? Or Ukraine's frontline and ability to recruit enough warriors? All the news, fact checked, every single day, all day long. Here's the thread:

Surely it must be midnight by now

if the sun must set before 5 the least it can do is put on a show
