For any who need to hear this:

Most people, throughout history, have not had to cook every day. It's not weird to not always have the energy to do that. And when you have some but not tons of energy, a lot of packaged or frozen foods have gotten good in the past 20 years.

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

On the other side was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for his help.
"I wasn't planning on letting her stay, but I didn't know what the hell was going on," the man said of his Venezuelan migrant neighbors. But he quickly relented. The little girl was inconsolable and hid under his bed.
"I didn't want them to take her," said the man, who didn't want to be named because he fears he'll be targeted by federal authorities for his actions.
"I gave her my bedroom, and I just told her,
'Just stay there. Don't open, don't, shh, just stay quiet," he recalled telling the mom and daughter as he choked back tears.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

No? Governor Mills has two statewide wins in Maine and incumbency advantage. What does your Blackwater mercenary bring to the table besides a lack of electoral history?

Dan Savage @dansavage.bsky.social · 12h

No. She's 77 years old. Dem voters should refuse to vote for any first-time candidates over 60 and any incumbents over 70. Elderly Dems dying in office is a real problem — Rs would have a much slimmer House majority right now if ancient Dems weren't dropping dead.

Do Somethings and leftists "speak" (on SM) to our Dem electeds in a way that would get them punched in the face if they spoke that way to a random person IRL. Then they wonder why people keep muting/blocking/criticizing them.

What is so hard about being civil & contacting them by phone/email?
