Pretty sure Eleanor Roosevelt is dead

They tell us to leave, but where do we go when every place is a target? Families move in circles, running from death that follows everywhere. My family has lost everything but faith that someone will care enough to help us.

Chicago priest Father Michael Pfleger: "The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president and his admin's reign of terror."

In the last 2 weeks MAGA aligned people have done 2 attempted mass shootings of a gay bar and pride center in Arizona and Texas, murdered 2 teenage girls for mocking Charlie Kirk, and torched a judge's home.

Meanwhile, the government mobilized the military to go after the left.

I have a full day today, but I woke up early to put this edition of my newsletter together because I need you all to have this rundown of what we've been up against this week in Chicago as the federal assault on our city continues. To ignore these developments would be a damning mistake for us all.

If you have two minutes free right now, call Netflix and leave a comment in support of this programming and ask them to stand up for their shows against political pressure.

Phone number is 1-866-952-4456, and I waited less than a minute before a human picked up.

Done.

I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year.

Republicans in Washington did this.

This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.

FYI:

CVS just let me schedule an appointment for this vaccine, and I just saw someone else say they received it at Costco today

It’s out there folks!

“Debate is a luxury of norms and institutional safety, two things that Trump’s second administration has systematically destroyed.”

Omg this

People-except Gen X women seem shocked that Gen X has high support for Trump. Ask us what high school was like.

🗣️THIS is the message!!

Brava, Congresswoman @aoc.bsky.social!!

A victim of the shooting at the ICE facility is UNCONSCIOUS, in critical care, may not survive, his wife is about to give birth, and ICE IS KEEPING HIM SHACKLED TO HIS HOSPITAL BED:

I just unlocked a new level of rage.

Scoop: Trump lost the legal battle over halting the offshore Revolution Wind project after Orsted, its developer, brought reams of evidence to court alleging the government was lying about military security concerns.

It’s a sign truth can empower companies Trump targets.

Timeline of ICE activity in Chicagoland today.

Kidnappings across the city and burbs, a protester/content creator arrested outside Broadview late last night, and landscapers taken from their work vehicle in Downers Grove:

Man this dismissal of Trump’s NYT lawsuit is quite the read:

“…a complaint is not a public forum for vituperation and invective — not a protected platform to rage against an
adversary.”

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

This happened about 15 minutes ago. ICE just took one of the protesters inside the facility. This is the first time that’s ever happened.

Join us at 1930 Beach Street. Free our friend. Free our neighbors. Shut down this facility.

The easiest way to reject the abundant data pointing toward disproportionate right-wing political violence is to dismiss right-wing actors as one-off, apolitical lunatics and any left-wing actors as part of a nebulous, concentrated political project.
