Remember learning about Teapot Dome in your history class and how horrible of a scandal that was?
Yeah that stuff is happening daily with this administration and NOTHING is happening about it.

Ahh yes, because my favorite thing to do right now is to go to the gas station MORE OFTEN to pay $40 to fill up my car just to go to both jobs (including my teaching career) I have to work to afford to live in this economy.
Sean Duffy on slashing fuel economy standards: "This rule will actually allow you to bring back the 1970s station wagon. Maybe a little wood paneling on the side. We can bring back choice to consumers."

The news that #IMAX will be adding more 70mm projectors across the country, and specifically 3 in the Chicago area makes me so happy. Cannot wait to see The Odyssey in 70mm IMAX!

Please remember: the most important thing isn't the outcome of any one of these actions, it's the people radicalized and the communities brought together by these experiences. Fascism wants despair and passive acceptance, and it is not finding it in Chicago. #chicagostrong

In my Chicago neighborhood this weekend: candy drive for kids who can't safely go out to trick or treat because of ICE; big visible letter-writing campaign at an outdoor block party; low-flying Blackhawk helicopter over a children's baseball game; whistle brigades everywhere. #chicagostrong

folks can complain about the effectiveness of scheduled orderly mass protest but to think about it another way its the closest thing we have to the opening scene of A Muppet Christmas Carol where all the muppets sing "there goes Mr. Dipshit, there goes Mr. Ass" to Scrooge and it clearly bothered him

I've got about 200 Texas National Guard that are being housed about 2 miles from my house in Illinois.
I think they would be better served helping the people of Alaska during this horrible time than just sitting around an Army Reserve base in Elwood, IL.

Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly.
Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested.

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

Someone needs to look into jurisdictional law about what ICE is doing and take them to court. They are blocking a public, local road and “enforcing” traffic laws that are under local jurisdiction to false justify their violent acts.

ICE just chased everyone off the public road by the Broadview facility. They yelled for people to move and immediately began firing gas into the crowd, which included legal observers, press, and medics.
