Sorry - didn't realize you were looking for local. They DO both provide news, although Titus is a comedian, so his format is...a little out there.

In light of immigration enforcement operations in the West Chicago area, Audrey Luhmann got together with a team of rapid responders to deliver candy to two area apartment complexes that she said were recently hit by immigration raids.

And that’s how reverse trick-or-treating was born.

Reverse trick-or-treating comes to West Chicago amid the growing presence of immigration enforcement

Audrey Luhmann collected about $900 worth of candy in 72 hours to deliver to children around the Timber Lake and Main Park apartments Friday evening.

When the people you are up against are armed to the teeth and MORE than happy to get violent with YOU, REGARDLESS of the illegality of their actions -

Well, start considering your options.

There's a LOT of real, unfiltered news out there, now it's on *us* to find it and follow it.

Is that fair? Of course not. But it's the world we live in, and we have to go the extra step now to educate ourselves.

Abandon the MSM. They no longer have anything to offer you that hasn't been filtered through corporate interest.

Start looking to the *new* media. The independent journalists who have NO ties to corporation.

I suggest starting with @briantylercohen.bsky.social and @titusnation.bsky.social.

Red text box with a quote from Brian Tyler Cohen (@briantylercohen) Using food as a weapon is a fucking war tactic and the fact that no one is mentioning this infuriates me. You are not Pro-Life if you cause people to starve.

WOW.
This young man is EXACTLY what Texas needs.
& I hate like hell to say it - but with all the redistricting fuckery, I bet the farm that it will be IMPOSSIBLE for him to win.
GODDAMNIT I hate saying that.

But listen to what he has to say. It's good to know there are people like him out there.

James Talarico (D-TX) is going to make one hell of a US Senator. He just gets it, the system is rigged for the wealthy and well connected but we the people have the power to take it back. Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg own more wealth than 165 million Americans combined. Watch👇💥🔥

Text from Twitter account of Brian Tyler Cohen (@briantylercohen)
The only reason the Republicans want to reopen the government immediately without an ACA subsidy extension (but with a promise that they'll totally, definitely negotiate afterwards) is because they want the Dems to surrender their only leverage. But remember--the GOP has ZERO intention of ever reimplementing the subsidies: they're the party that just eliminated them! This could be all over TODAY if the GOP simply sat down with the Dems and shored up healthcare, but they *do not care* about your healthcare and so they won't relent. So when American's healthcare premiums 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x in a few weeks, just remember that the Republicans stood against it because they are hellbent on ensuring that those prices rise so that the ACA becomes unpopular and [is] ultimately rescinded. This is nothing more than a cunning play by the GOP to sabotage the ACA because they've spent 15 years lamenting the fact that Obama got a win.

EXCELLENT article!!
I would also add that the Evangelical movement, with the "manifesting wealth" for personal gain and blaming those who don't have enough for "not being right with God" or what have you is also an *extremely* powerful influence. They a minority, but a strong and terrifying throng.
