Important lesson of last night's elections: progressives won across the country because they didn't water down their message and their values.

Traffic is bad this morning, but not in a “the rapture happened and I have to dodge cars and fight for my life” way. Bummer.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.
moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.
one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

Capitalism has ruined the brains of conservatives so much that they couldn’t comprehend believing in anything enough to do it for free; therefore, protesters must be paid.
