When ICE raids daycares and neighborhoods, it doesn’t make us safer—it spreads fear.
Judge Ellis’s decision is a step toward accountability and basic human decency but we are far away from holding ICE accountable and to protecting families from ICE Gestapo-style tactics.

Greg Bovino and his masked agents are not here to make Chicago safer. As children are tear gassed and U.S. citizens detained, they are posing for photo ops and producing reality TV moments. blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/10/b...

Border Patrol Agents Pose At The Bean For Apparent Photo Op
The photo op came after agents tear-gassed a Little Village street and were spotted in the area numerous times. At the Bean, one agent shouted, "Everyone say, 'Little Village!'"

It's so much easier to blame everyone else but yourself for breaking bread with folks want to punish everyone who isn't like them. If you're silent, you're complicit. Remember that.

It's time to stop amplifying accounts who are Anti-Democrats. Especially those whose only lean is to constantly trash our party, when all of this preventable mess, is due to Trump and the GOP who control all three branches. Many lack political investment in harm reduction!

What everyone should understand is that Donald Trump could just pay SNAP benefits so people don't go hungry.
He's choosing not to. He is choosing to appeal to SCOTUS. He is choosing cruelty.

This entire exchange highlights what we're dealing with in America. Folks expect Dems to instantly fix everything the GOP breaks without giving Dems the adequate numbers to do instant fixes.

Because there have only been six(!) non-consecutive(!) months(!) since Carter(!) when the GOP couldn't obstruct everything!
Six months of progress, 44.5 years of obstruction or worse.
And building is always harder than destroying.

If you didn't want to have to choose between health insurance, airports functioning, food stamps, etc you should not have allowed a psychopath to be president.

Thank you for pointing this out. We don't have a majority and people are literally starving without food all over the country and not getting paid still having to work. Or out of work entirely in those same circumstances. On top of everything else this isn't even a bad deal. Please think it over.
I think some of you have not taken a single moment to consider that the people who’ve been out of work for the last 40 days and who are presently staring down the prospect of going into the holiday season without a paycheck are *also* calling their congresspeople.

People want Democrats to hit the off button that America refused to push last November when it mattered.
I learned a lot tonight, namely that a critical mass of people on my side had no clear idea what they actually wanted out of this beyond hopes that if the shutdown broke enough stuff, they'd get whatever was on their wishlist, and their preferred time horizon was "indefinite."
