I would have been happily retired if not for MAGA. Trying to read and garden. Volunteering and trying to hold on to democracy.

“Tulsky details a history of racism and corruption that stretched back for decades in Kansas City political circles and the police force. This book is a page-turner; its tension is enhanced by language as crisp as a court reporter’s and as intimate as an inmate’s private journal.”

Looks like we’re going to war with Venezuela to distract from the Epstein files.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015
What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

this is a moderate to normie Illinois Democrat
I don't know what the Senate is going to do. But if they do in fact fold in exchange for nothing, they will be living up to past performance. To expect the Senate to carry out the will of the American people is to misunderstand why it was created in the first place.

The Border Patrol op in Evanston made many headlines on Friday (as it should have), but please note that none of this is new. Feds have been devastating the west burbs for nearly two months now. These communities do not have equivalent wealth and media infrastructure; a lot doesn't break through.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

The greatest threat to Chicago is ICE and CPB.
Residents have been surveilled, threatened, tear-gassed, hit with pepper balls, and shot.
They continue to defy court orders and violate our Constitutional rights. ICE must be held accountable.

Spread the word.
It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.
