This is located in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago, close to Fullerton and Sheffield. It's a densely populated area near DePaul University. I'm pleased to see the community standing up against these despicable individuals.

Right now, our amazing service members with the California National Guard are helping power expanded food bank operations across the state.

California refuses to let the Trump government shutdown's halt to federal food assistance abandon Californians in need.

As the ongoing government shutdown disrupts critical food benefits, service members from California Volunteers and the California National Guard began work assisting food banks with preparing meals for families facing food insecurity.

The 14th Amendment was adopted after the Civil War to protect the rights of Black Americans. An argument being made at the Supreme Court invites a return to the era when race was a barrier to entry for political representation. bit.ly/4qeZmz4

Omg, this detail from CNN about the ICE hiring snafu is wild. This seems like an HR 101 level thing to get right.

They turned a hiring bonus into something much closer to an application bonus.

Seems like a great way to burn a ton of cash. Also? Here’s some waste for sure!

The signing bonus also prompted discussions internally because it’s not contingent on a key part of the hiring process, which is passing the academy, another source said. Even candidates who don’t pass the academy and are slotted for administrative jobs are still pocketing thousands of dollars.

ICE goons (Temu cops) at an immigration court, hoping to kidnap poor immigrants as they attempt to go through the immigration process properly, get roasted by an NYPD cop who is tired of their shit.

They seem to be harassing him because of his skin color: America, land of the free. 🙄
