If given the chance, I'd lose my legs all over again to serve in our great military.

The leader of your party is a five-time draft dodger who has fired more Veterans than any other president in our history.

Square that circle then tell me who really hates our military.

New York Times: Scott Perry Says Democrats ‘Hate the Military,’ Echoing Trump’s attacks.

The remarks by the Republican House member from Pennsylvania align with efforts by the president and G.O.P. leaders to portray the political left as un-American.

There are more people living within five miles of my home than in the entire state of Maine.

A screenshot from the Dave's Redistricting online tool showing a mocked up "district" centered on Logan Square, Chicago, IL and extending out in all directions for roughly five miles. The tool shows that the selected area contains 1,453,857 people, according to 2022 American Community Survey data.

The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year.

In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.

Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.

The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.

Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M

See the problem?

As a student, I always loved the Purdue Exponent, and now my love has grown deeper.

Yes for me

cornzippers 🧀🌭 @cornzippers.bsky.social · 7d

Me too

cornzippers 🧀🌭 @cornzippers.bsky.social · 7d

Yes. Seems so according to me, a person I know and a few others on here.

cornzippers 🧀🌭 @cornzippers.bsky.social · 7d

Didn’t realize they moved! Thanks for the heads up.

This means they’re snowflakes, right?

Point. This is the 3rd I’ve heard about this weekend. Suburb of Chicago, somewhere in MA, and now this. So gross and insanely terrorizing.

One continuous scene of two separate run-ins with ICE from an alley in Rogers Park this morning, from three entirely different POVs.

Hey, it’s your daily reminder to get out there and do something!

Our neighbors have been terrorized more over the weekend and are pretty scared. Hearing there’s been a lot of interest in rapid response, but schools may still need help. Talk to “friends of” or parent networks at your nearest school.

Yes. Thank you for reminder that we are not alone in feeling the weight of their terror.

Chicago journalist Debbie Brockman, who was thrown to the ground & handcuffed by ICE, has been released without charges

DHS said she assaulted an officer, but eye witnesses claim she didn’t

The lack of charges makes it clear that ICE is lying to try and cover up the fact that they attack the press

Yes, but no space. At least that’s how it was for me. Lots of biology and chemistry, very littler earth and space science in all my Catholic schools.

I am so angry, my heart is broken. Young children are waiting at school for this mother to pick them up. What will happen to them? What will happen to her? To her car, her purse? Why does it take over 12 heavily armed men to kidnap her? Is she really "the worst of the worst" or just a human bounty?

The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Came here to say I saw one while at Foster beach in Chicago yesterday, but now I think you’re in different state, which means they’re all over the country, not just invading my city. Weird for sure.
