Young people in the U.S. have been priced out of their dreams. Stop acting like it’s their fault.

My prayers are with the National Guard victims and their families. They never should have been political pawns of the mad man in the White House and his violent rhetoric in the first place. My fear is now is how it’s going to escalate - martial law seems likely. It’s gonna get ugly folks.

@muellershewrote.com, @karaswisher.bsky.social, @profgalloway.com, @pivotpod.bsky.social - any insights to this?

Under the Big Ugly Bill, Alphabet gets $17.9B in tax breaks. That could pay for SNAP benefits for 7.5 million Americans. Amazon gets $15.7B. That could lower ACA premiums for 2.4 million people. Microsoft gets $12.5B. That could cover Medicaid for 3.8 million children.

The more you know, the more you can call your Senators!!!

Hey Illinois followers - sign and send to @durbin.senate.gov since that geriatric coward caved and voted yes!

New Senate Leadership Now!

@blockclubchi.bsky.social - would love to see some reporting on this. There is a town hall on 11/13. Hope to see someone there. crosstownchi.org

@chi.streetsblog.org I’m assuming you already know about this, but if not FYI. crosstownchi.org Hope to see you at the town hall.

Was listening to a very in-depth discussion on what point blank range of a meat sandwich is with @libradunn1.bsky.social and @muellershewrote.com on Cleanup on Asile 45. All laughs aside, I feel like @neildegrassetyson.com could answer this. I hope he does.

Damnit. I might have to create an account again just to see the snowflakes meltdown over this.

Whenever I ask “Is he dead yet?” Dick Cheney wasn’t exactly who I was asking about but maybe the Grim Reaper is starting to figure it out.

Well said. Can we have more of this and less of @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social?

Karoline Leavitt officially announced the "Launch of a large-scale investigation to find the people behind 'No Kings.'" I've saved her some time.

Hope that many of you will also join!

Question for any financial experts out there: If no more than 28% of your monthly gross income should go towards housing costs, how much should go to health insurance premiums? #MedicareForAll

"People can say they don’t want you here,” the judge said. “They can say they don’t like the way you’re enforcing the law and that they wish you would leave Chicago and take your agents with you.” Keep it up, Chicago. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/28/j...

Hello Followers: $$ talks. So if you’re a subscriber #CancelSpotify.

Some good reporting here @dailybeanspod.com

@dailybeanspod.com - I’m sure you’re on top of this but check out the last paragraph of the article. It says a lot about how ICE will follow judicial orders w/o directly saying it.

1/6 Hey #Chicago followers - or if you know people in the City - there is a city wide whistle packing event happening this Wednesday 10/29. If you’re interested in attending one here is the info. If you’re aware of any others please share in the comments! Please share!

#AmericanTaliban #Chicago.

#Chicago residents, remember that ICE cannot be on private property w/o a warrant w/o your consent. If you own the property they are attempting to make an “arrest” on, start recording and tell them it is private property and you do not give them permission to be on it. It’s our 4th amendment right.

Can someone please explain to me why it’s acceptable for them to pay millions of dollars to support POTUS, but it’s unacceptable for them to pay taxes to the support American people? Everyone should be asking their congressmen this as they’re the ones who control the purse.

This is amazing!!

You heard it folks, it’s not about lowering costs, affordable healthcare, opening the government, restoring SNAP benefits, funding cancer research, ending the war in Ukraine…. Anything that actually helps the American people. Not a priority to this dictator.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov - there have been judicial orders that these people are not allowed to use tear gas and are required to wear body cameras - who is holding them accountable?

Reminiscin’ this’n that and havin’ such a good time. Oo-De-Lally, Oo-De-Lally golly what a day.

This makes me so happy!

You rocked it #Chicago! Glad to be a part of it. Can't wait to catch up on the other cities. @dailybeanspod.com blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/18/t...

Ronald Reagan said it. #NoKings tomorrow 10/18

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov Also, didn’t a judge just order that ICE agents were not allowed to wear faces masks? They’re ignoring a court order where is the accountability? blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/10/i...

Few patients appeal a health insurance denial, but a little-known process that requires insurers and plans to seek an independent opinion can force insurers to pay for what can be lifesaving treatment. Here’s what experts say you need to know.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov I thought ice agents were required to have identification as well as remove face coverings. Also they’re now using a facial ID app? These were KIDS!

Not only is it shocking, but leads to questions about where the precise tenant info came from. Also, to the anonymous resident who helped another in need, you are a blessing and an inspiration to others for your kindness and compassion.

FYI #Chicago. Know your rights! blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/10/i...
