NEWS: Federal agents crashed with woman’s car, pointed guns at her, dragged her out by legs, tossed her in a minivan, held her and (eventually) let her go without charges. This as Chicagoans say the immigration blitz is out of control. (DHS blames her.)

This is what’s happening in my neighborhood. ICE causes an accident to arrest citizens trying to protect our immigrant neighbors in Evanston. I am terrified. It looks like the SS rounding up whoever Hitler deemed undesirable. We must stop ICE, CBP and Trump

Federal agents arrest 3 US citizens after crash during immigration operation in Evanston

Witnesses say agents slammed on their brakes, causing a car that was following them to crash. DHS says the collision happened as agents tried to make a U-turn.

Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Of course it's a drop in the bucket. But I don't want the idea of a privately-funded U.S. military to gain the least bit of traction - or precedent.

If members of the United States military are truly being paid their salaries by a private individual, the American people should know who that individual is. Now.

They are asking for $2300/month for a plan that has a deductible over $6000!!!!

For those who do not understand American healthcare (hahaha cry) you have to pay $27,600 per year and then on top of that you have to pay over $6000 out of pocket before it actually covers stuff.

Are you doing brioche or garter stripes? I think I’m going to do the two middle ones in brioche. I love how the stripes look with my yarn.
