The forced deportation of children and rape are among the darkest chapters of Russia’s war. Today we are providing another €6 million to support the care of children deported by Russia and survivors of sexual violence," @kajakallas said.

Thank you, EU! 🇪🇺🇺🇦

Friday MSNBC Maddow’s documentary on Andrew Young and the “Dirty Work” of the civil right fight. Not glamorous. Hard! White people need to do a fraction of this to save us. Look
And learn what Black
People already did. And do.

ICE is out of control here in Chicago:

“Maria Greeley, 44, had just finished working a double shift at the Beach Bar on Ohio Street …when she said she was surrounded by three federal agents who grabbed her, forced her hands behind her back and zip tied her.”

www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/13/i...

Greeley, who was born at Illinois Masonic hospital and is adopted, carries a copy of her passport just in case she runs into federal agents.
"lam Latina and l am a service worker," Greeley said. "I fit the description of what they're looking for now."
During the encounter, Greeley said they told her she "doesn't look like" a Greeley.

Davis: In [Mike Johnson’s] mind, how can one be a good Christian while at the same time want to take away health care?

Former fundamentalist Levins: Mike Johnson is a beta male in a patriarchal structure. He knows that he’s got to be obedient to his authority, who is Donald Trump—who to him is God.

I’ve read this tweet from GOP Rep. Mike Lawler 20 times, and the only conclusion I can draw is that in his heart of hearts he wants to repeal the Affordable Care Act in its entirety, leaving tens of thousands of his constituents without healthcare.

Take note, #NY17 voters.
