ICE points gun at pregnant mother—a U.S. citizen with her son in the back seat.

"Are you gonna shoot a pregnant woman?" she cries. "You just put a gun on me!"

"Then he had the balls to say, 'It’s your fault I did that.'"

Video clearly shows her just driving down public street in Berwyn, Illinois.

It's been cool to see the Fateh/Davis/Hampton campaigns focused on positive messaging and lifting each other up, but it's ALSO good to remember and affirm why it's time for change: www.jacobfreyfacts.com

unearthed video from a 2017 candidate forum, since we’ve previously only had a screenshot of his tweet making this promise: jacob frey says he will end homelessness in 5 years

Liberals want to change presidents.
Leftists want to change systems.

Liberals want endless status quo.
Leftists want meaningful change.

People's material conditions are a major factor in their beliefs and when they become worse off, the more likely they fall for reactionary right-wing bullshit.

I don't know if many people will see this, but the Wedge CO-OP still prohibits their employees from wearing Palestinian solidarity clothing/flair.

I just can't shop there knowing they could be so much better.

Want to know why John and Patricia Wall, the owners of Malcolm Yards, conspired to keep @robin4mpls.bsky.social and @michaelforparks.bsky.social from talking to residents of their buildings?

Follow the money.

The pair have maxed out donations to Robin’s opponents, as well as Mayor Frey.

The millionaire CEO who stole a hat from a child at the US Open is, ultimately, indicative of the whole ruling class.

This is what we’re up against, a small number of people and a system that will gladly and unapologetically steal from children and from all of us.
