That picture reminds me of the ornate decor that I've seen in some downtown Chicago buildings. Magnificent. When things settle down, I think you'd enjoy visiting and taking an architectural tour. The one by boat on the Chicago River is especially fascinating.

Chicago is watching
the Federal government perpetrate
violence on its people.

The country is watching.
The world is watching.

Stay strong. Stick to your non-violent discipline.
Resist. Ridicule. Refuse.

The GOP's shenanigans offer free publicity to leaders of the Democratic Party. The 2026 and 2028 war chests should be massive.

Pelosi: "Democrats who created Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the ACA, all of that, are now being asked to reject that so we can give a tax cut to the rich. We're not doing it. It isn't a question of, 'let's come back together so we can discuss it.' That isn't going to happen."

This is Clio. She did not study for the test today. Also does not know how to read. 12/10 (IG: paspastotoro)

a black and gray long-haired yorkiepoo sits at a desk in a university classroom. a piece of paper lays on the desk in front of her, her paws propped up on the desk as if she's bracing herself. there are students in the background hunched over and working on paper in front of them. the pup looks at the camera with a concerned side eye. she's realizing she probably should have read some of the homework before eating it.

After abducting farmworkers, Trump’s administration has found a solution to the budding food crisis: exploit labor even further. H-2A visas deny workers bargaining rights, job mobility, and fair wages— and employers are using them more than ever. From @ddayen: trib.al/KDKgLjP

Trump Labor Department Says His Immigration Raids Are Causing a Food Crisis
