A drawing of the Watchdogs baseball team from Young Shadow & The Watchdogs. It's nighttime. They are standing in their sandlot baseball field, which is a little overgrown, but lovingly maintained by the team.

Last time she ran as a pro-Trump Democrat, got a truly amazing amount of money in contributions, burned through it all and lost by 20 points anyway. Big nope!

ICYMI— I’m Running for Senate

I’ve spent my life stepping up when the mission was tough and the stakes were high, and that’s why I’m stepping up again.

Our democracy is under attack, and we deserve a senator who won’t bow to Donald Trump or Washington insiders.

November 7, 2023 — Kids in Gaza host a press conference, in English, to beg the world for life.

“We come now to shout and invite you to protect us; we want to live, we want peace…we want to live as the other children live.”

At the time, Israel forces had killed over 4,200 kids like these.

Looks more and more like the raid in Chicago was more than just a fascist terror raid but the use of federal violence to help a bank empty a building they held in receivership.

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

Someone's robbed the local animal shelter of their fundraiser money. Can Young Shadow find the culprit, and help his friend locate his missing autographed baseball in one night?
