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.

During the Sept. 30 raid one tenant protected a terrified girl and her mom. Remnants at the complex, including a detailed map of all the units, offer clues to what authorities may have known before th...

Not only did Trump NOT win the Nobel Peace Prize but the person who DID win is a woman. Latina. From Venezuela.

A woman he would likely abduct from an elementary school pick up line in Chicago should she happen to be there.

Wtf - ICE is just pulling anyone out of cars, and damaging property while they are at it. I hope WGN has great lawyers.

BREAKING: ICE agents just abducted a press camera operator in Chicago.

WGN-TV’s Debbie Brockman was dragged to the ground, cuffed and bundled into a van - which then rammed her vehicle to escape.

What the hell is happening in America?

Wanna know why Stephen Miller froze after mentioning “plenary authority"?

He knew he said the quiet fascist takeover part out loud.

“The person who agrees with you 80 percent of the time is a friend and ally, not a 20 percent traitor.”

I wasn’t a Reagan fan, but I love this quote, which Dems need to adopt for our own.

ICE dragging a mom out of her car on the SCHOOL PICK UP LINE.

Are we going to see this happen at our own school Kiss & Rides, that we see fellow parents dragged off and their families shattered in front of our eyes…?!

I booked a photo session tonight bc I have very few pictures of my family together, but while I’m smiling & holding my children, I know I will hear this mother’s screams.

I don’t want my tax dollars supporting ICE agents dragging parents away from car line. And most moms in the US agree with me.

In Donald Trump v. USA, Supreme Court gave the President broad immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts.

Seems to me this must be true too for James Comey & Letitia James who acted in their official capacities, and the president can’t be more above the law than any one else.

Voting isn’t the solution unto itself, but it’s critically important at the local level.

There will be 52,000 elections held next month alone, and many will be determined purely by turnout.

You know what to do.

HOOSIERS, heads up!!

67% of Indiana hospital costs are paid by Medicare and Medicaid (‼️‼️‼️), so imagine the potential devastation from Trump’s big ugly bill that divests from these programs.

🧵 Before Project 2025 became the name of Trump & MAGA Republicans' fascist agenda, it was a name of a program for American Foundation for Suicide Prevention's collaboration with the National Shooting Sports Foundation, an extreme gun lobby group that used to be headquartered in Newtown, Connecticut.

A Program Backed by the Gun Industry Failed to Reduce Suicide — and Was Secretly Shut Down Early

The country’s best-known suicide prevention group teamed up with the gun industry. The effort was good for public relations and raising money, but it never met its goal, and internal records show why.

According to new Costs of War Report (Brown University): “Without US weapons and money, Israel wouldn’t have been able to sustain its genocidal war on Gaza, start a war with Iran, or repeatedly bomb Yemen.”

How the US funded Israel’s wars on Gaza, Lebanon, Iran

Twin reports from the Costs of War Project find the US has backed Israel with more than $21bn since October 2023.

The Gaza conflict wouldn’t have lasted this long and gotten this bad without Trump’s tacit encouragement. He deserves no brownie points for any involvement in stabilizing a region that he’s helped to greatly destabilize. (Remember Iran and Yemen).

Trump says it would be “an insult to our country” if he doesn’t get the Nobel Peace Prize! There he goes again, trying to strong arm. Need we say? It would be an insult to the WORLD if he got a prize for ‘peace’ (of all things) as he is at war with his own people! share.google/ZF6CEwqxyhk9...

“Protests outside ICE facility were DWINDLING and ‘LOW ENERGY’ before Trump called in troops.”

What’s Really Going On in Portland, According to Police Reports

Protests outside an ICE facility were dwindling in size and at times ”low energy” in the days and weeks before President Trump called in troops, according to official law-enforcement logs.

Great but chilling column.

“We should be exceedingly clear:
There is no crisis in Chicago that requires the Nat’l Guard. To the extent that there is civil instability in Chicago it has been caused by Trump’s surge of federal agents into the city & their lawless assault on the citizens of Chicago”
