I’ve been tracking this contract since 2023, and last week, Cook County quietly renewed it. As ICE raids continue across Chicago, the board approved another $1M deal with a data broker tied to ICE. My latest for @southsideweekly.bsky.social

🚨In Chicago, ICE tear-gassed a street after residents demanded they release a worker taken from private property. One nurse, struggling to breathe from asthma, still stood her ground and told ICE to leave. 1/2

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

Eric is a Missouri congressman.

He is quite literally dependent on the federal government for his paycheck, his housing, and his free healthcare. He’s a tax recipient.

I think a lot about how senior leadership in academia now is even more focused on running things "like a business" but then want to keep the increasingly under resourced infrastructure and low pay of a nonprofit. You don't get both.

Seriously⁉️ Since January 20, 2025, ICE has prohibited members of Congress from accessing their facilities. This is simply the latest excuse they will use to obstruct Congress. 😡

Not only is the rate of ICE unlawfully attacking & detaining U.S. citizens for no reason escalating every day, so are the injuries & the number of senior citizens on the receiving end.

This senior citizen was returning from a marathon team training run. These power hungry thugs are out of control.
