"well what are the Democrats supposed to do" I don't know! They're supposed to know! I'm not the one who sought and obtained a political position that would require me to know what to do when the ruling party attempts to install the President as a dictator!

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.

Update from Miss Major's partner: "Miss Major is at home on hospice. She is comfortable and surrounded by love."

Donations and good wishes still needed. Anything above and beyond the needs of her care will go to continuing Miss Major's legacy through Oasis, the retreat for trans people she built.

Miss Major, one of the mothers of the trans liberation movement, has been in the hospital for 10 days with sepsis and a blood clot. She has looked out for us for generations, now it’s time to look out for her. Donate if you can: fundly.com/missmajor

Confirmed sighting in little village

Today October 10, 2025 at 10:55am we were able to confirm that ICE kidnapped a street vendor on Cermak and Troy in front of the laundry mat. Another street vendor was taken on Damen and Cermak in Pilsen. If you have any more information please call 855-435-7693 or to report any unusual or suspicious activity.

Heads up, Minneapolis, the Gestapo are showing up and bringing their own drones. They also happen to think they’re going to be the winners in this fight.

If there’s one thing Minneapolis is good at It’s making it very clear that people in authority do not have the power to control us.

ICE had a large white drone they were trying to put in the air but neighborhood pressure grew and they started to pack up and leave. One neighbor was shouting that ICE is a bunch of losers and an agent said to her “you’re going to lose. We will win.”

In video games, you will often find a fully roasted chicken abandoned on the ground, and eating it extremely quickly makes you feel better. What's less known is that this is also true in real life

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

agree asking for Trump's help is not the best idea but she clearly did that. Also, stop calling him Hitler, there so many better nicknames for him, like Agolf Shitler, Epstien's BFF, Cheeto Benito, etc.

Text from news report:

“Tensions between Venezuela and America soared following the attack, but Machado insisted to The Sunday Times that Trump was right to bomb the boat.
"I totally support his strategy," Machado said.
"And I've said on behalf of the Venezuelan people that we are very grateful. I think it is the right thing to do. It's courageous. It's visionary."”

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

There's nothing I don't love about WOMBATS, from their curmudgeonly mannerisms to their armored, bony butts (that protect them from predators when they're head-first in a burrow).

But we should talk about their cubic poop & how it gets that way.
