The @chicago.suntimes.com photographer who risked their personal health and safety to take this photograph is Anthony Vazquez. Please credit photographers and media outlets. In this age of misinformation, a photo with no context could be anything at all.

7/ Democrats need to stand for something right now. And what need, to vote for this budget, is pretty simple and reasonable:

Don't cut people's health care just to pay for a billionaire tax cut.

Don't fund Trump's growing authoritarianism without checks on his corruption.

It's just a jump to the left
And then a step to the right
With your hands on your hips
You bring your knees in tight
But it's the pelvic thrust
That really drives you insane...

So if we know these cars & plates, has Chicago PD looked them up to find out who’s driving around intimidating people? Is *any* action being taken to stop this lawlessness?

Would love to see someone with editing skills make a compilation of these ICE atrocity clips accompanied by a Lee Greenwood soundtrack

Now I see it this for the pure genius that it is.

There were hoping for scary young men throwing molotov cocktails to fit their narrative so they could start shooting people.

Instead they got dancing cartoon characters showing the country and the world how ridiculous their nazi coslplay is.

OMG he really is short! I thought AOC was just needling him. I know so many short men who are awesome but he’s definitely one who never learned to love himself.

Indiana Week in Review said polling shows 53% of Hoosiers don’t want it. So, it’s not popular, but it might still happen. I’ve left 2-3 voicemails for Braun against it. It’s unethical.

Has there been any evidence of this? I haven’t found any reporting that says it’s a done deal.

Update: I pulled out the duplicate brown and black Le Pens and added one (1) yellow highlighter.

Architects: how many pens do you regularly carry? I usually have this many on me at all times but I just realized today I also need to add a highlighter.
