Maybe direct your anger toward the majority of white voters who voted for the felon pedophile in 2016, 2020 AND 2024 and vote Rethuglikkkan every election since the 1960s.

I personally don't think he won all swing states but that's neither here nor there now.

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

MAE SOT, Thailand (AP) - Mohammed Taher clutched the lifeless body of his 2-year-old son and wept. Ever since his family's food rations stopped arriving at their internment camp in Myanmar in April, the father had watched helplessly as his once-vibrant baby boy weakened, suffering from diarrhea and begging for food.
On May 21, exactly two weeks after Taher's little boy died, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: "No one has died" because of his government's decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: "No children are dying on my watch."
That, Taher says, "is a lie."

The only people creating mayhem are ICE agents themselves.

ICE is infringing on our right to walk freely down the street! ICE may detain someone right in the middle of the street or deploy tear gas without any warning or cause!

Tear gas deployed by federal agent in Chicago's Logan Square neighborhood

Reports emerged of multiple immigration raids on Friday on Chicago's Northwest Side, including one in which tear gas was deployed by an agent.

The only thing that worries me is some masked ICE agent kidnapping me and throwing me into an SUV for simply WWB (Walking While Black). I'm not dodging gunfire. I'm not afraid to walk down the street. All of this administration's tactics are all performative. 2/

As someone that has lived in Chicago or a neighboring suburb, and someone who commutes into the city every weekday, if you are getting your stories from Fox News or CNN of how violent and out of control it is here...turn off the damn TV. 1/

STFU. Maybe go after the majority of white voters who voted for the felon pedophile in 2016, 2020 AND 2024 when the majority of Black, Jewish and voters of color did NOT.

I live in Chicago and care about both because I recently traveled and would be pissed if I was stuck in a city because of this shithole administration.

Airports are experiencing massive staffing shortages because of the Trump shutdown.

House Republicans remain on vacation.

Get back to work so we can reopen the government!

Pritzker is fighting the abuse of Presidential Power.Today the president called for the elected governor of Illinois and the mayor of the third largest city in America to be jailed. This is textbook authoritarianism.

Donald Trump is calling for the jailing of his political opponents in Chicago. His DOJ lackeys have already indicted a NJ Congresswoman for conducting ICE facility oversight and James Comey. John Bolton's house was raided.

We must treat these latest threats seriously and all stand up against them.

So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t.

And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks.

Did I get that right?
