If you don’t have one yet, you can come to our office at 7016 N Clark Street and pick up a whistle (and a variety of other necessities) free of charge.
Anyone who sees Bovino in Rogers Park, let us know. We’re doing ICE watch.
Whistles out. Be on alert. Help protect our community.

For We the People to halt Trump’s autocratic breakthrough, millions of Americans need to feel like we’re part of something bigger. We need to understand that we’re part of a movement. We need to feel like we will win.
That’s where tomorrow’s #NoKings Day comes in.

We are now just a few hours away from what may be the biggest outburst of antiauthoritarian sentiment in America since—I don’t know. Maybe the uprising against the Intolerable Acts in 1774, writes @billmckibben.bsky.social: www.commondreams.org/opinion/padi...

40 Third Act Oregon members and friends gathered Sunday at the Wildwood Tap in Cedar Mills. The theme of the gathering was Resilience; we shared our personal resilience role models, socialized and strategized. Many stayed to write postcards to Wisconsin voters on the upcoming election there.

This is far worse than the contempt of court language in the House bill. It SHOULD come out in the Byrd bath, but Republicans could choose to ignore the parliamentarian. Very scary attack on checks and balances by the Senate GOP.
The Senate bill aims to effectively end all civil rights lawsuits against the federal government except by entities rich enough to potentially pay million/billions in fees.
I am not making this up.

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE.
Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it.
Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.
