This is located in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago, close to Fullerton and Sheffield. It's a densely populated area near DePaul University. I'm pleased to see the community standing up against these despicable individuals.

A win! The 9th Circuit allowed Judge Karin Immergut’s restraining order against deploying National Guard troops in Portland to remain in effect while the full appeals court decides whether to rehear the case.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

Yes, there are more important atrocities with this administration than the demolition of the east wing. But fascism thrives on image and aesthetics, and symbols matter. Don’t underestimate the power of visual symbols- they are used to control, but can also be used to resist.

🚨NEW: Following California's lead, Virginia is planning to redraw its Congressional map to cancel out GOP gains from partisan gerrymander.

Illinois and Maryland need to follow suit.

In some parallel universe, where we have an otherwise sane and ethical president, and an East Wing rebuild that's completely accepted/welcomed by the public, and legally approved, this statement (and the complete up-side mentality it implies) would still be a colossal scandal.

Leavitt: "At this moment in time, of course, the ballroom is really the president's main priority."

The Mamdani race is super encouraging until you remember the economy is set to crash fully right when he steps into office and he'll absolutely be blamed for it lol.

SCOTUS allows for legalized sports gambling in 2018.

Ads for sports betting sites like BetMGM, starring celebs like Kevin Hart and Jamie Foxx, tell millions of people every night to place a bet.

Who would have guessed this would have been a problem?

This is Pringle. He was found as a stray with a dislocated femur and severely damaged hip socket. Despite being in a lot of pain, he just wants to kiss everyone he meets. He needs surgery to repair his hip, then he can focus on giving out smooches. You can help him below ❤️‍🩹

15outof10.org/pringle

the brown pittie mix is having his heart listened to by a vet tech. it doesn't matter that the person has a job to do, Pringle takes his opportunity to kiss the person's face. his tongue has been captured mid-lick on the person's chin.

an x-ray of Pringle's hip reveals his right femur is dislocated.

a brown pit bull mix with white on his chin and chest lays on an x-ray table. two humans support him from behind. he looks at the camera with a severely pouty face, and tall floppy ears.

Ah yes, Fox. It's the media that's focusing on the East Wing amid the shutdown. Not the guy who decided to bulldoze the East Wing during the shutdown.
