It’s like suddenly caring about jaywalking, but for ethnic cleansing

Wow, wow, wow. This has always been legally possible but the law has virtually never been enforced — and now this is the SECOND case I've heard of in the last month (first involving a person with a green card) of a noncitizen being charged for failure to carry their papers.

NEWS: ICE gave a Rogers Park man a $130 ticket for not having his papers on him. They rounded him up last week and eventually let him go, but not without a fine that some critics say is un-American. Trump admin enforcing little-used law

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

The resident physicians at Howard University Hospital make history by carrying on Howard's vital legacy.

They should not have to work second jobs and be paid the lowest wages of residents in the District of Columbia.

I call on Howard to reach a fair contract.

They’re just roving around harassing different groups of protesters make racist jokes and asking people what they think of “illegals.” ISP agents are standing by just sorta watching.

Some iron workers from the nearby union building came to heckle them back, workers are getting a good laugh.

Members of the Unpresidented Brass Band were bull rushed & brutalized in the middle of playing "Ghostbusters." One was sent to the hospital and another tackled, arrested, and taken across state lines where she is still being detained.

Our grassroots campaign has raised more than any other D2 candidate. That we’ve done this w/out soliciting a cent of corporate or developer money is a testament to how much our platform resonates with working people. We deserve housing, transit, and a city for the 99%!

I dunno how much it matters electorally, but it's definitely emotionally discouraging, to me, when Democrats seem to always feel the need to apologize for being the feminist-antiracist-worker's party.

A posture of righteousness would be appreciated, although it may be off-putting, I suppose.

1. In a major capitulation to Trump, Fenway Health, a center ostensibly dedicated to LGBTQ+ healthcare, has ended its trans care program under 19.

It could have fought for its patients. It chose instead to roll over.

Community members are devastated.

For the 8th time, the Senate votes to reject the Republican-led government funding bill. The count is 49-45; with six senators missing the vote.

Not a single senator has switched their vote since pre-shutdown.

The Senate will vote on it again for a 9th time tomorrow afternoon

This weekend, three men in Evanston hugged their families goodbye to look for work at Home Depot but were attacked by ICE before they could return home.

Two were abducted, one is petrified of leaving the home.

Out at Broadview to see if the fence will be taken down today. The Iron Workers at local 63 which is near by the facility are wearing “Fuck Trump” buttons and heckled Ben Bergquam and Terry Newsome as they tried to antagonize protesters on Beach Street.
