Heard from folks at Mano a Mano on how our immigrant communities are being impacted by the Trump administration's increased federal deployment.

Governor Pritzker is ax true leader who is fighting for the rights of ALL Chicagoans! I'm tired of all these outsiders saying Chicago is a violent city. Have they seen what's going on in red states? If you're in the city or northern burbs....Know your rights!!

Watching Pete Hegseth’s hearing today, I felt as if I’d seen someone like him before, someone so smooth and arrogant and self-confident facing scrutiny like that. Then, it came to me: Ted Bundy, representing himself during his trial for murder.

My first post on bluesky! I can't wait to get away and tune out for a while. Unfortunately, I'll have to wait for Spring Break for this view. #BlueskyTravelLovers #VirginVoyages #CruisingIsLife

This is a good piece about what Bidenomics means, which includes a lot of what Dems are being told they needed to do to win back rural America.
Shame if the lesson from his term are:
*Don't do long term investments
*Unemployment is preferable to inflation

Bidenomics Is Starting to Transform America. Why Has No One Noticed?
The full effects of the President’s economic policies won’t be felt for years. That might be too late for Kamala Harris and other Democrats.
