This is some of the scariest but most inspiring footage I’ve seen from Chicago: brave citizen, vigilant neighbors, cameras, whistles, screaming.

Be ready, everyone. It’s coming to us everywhere.

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

California is deploying the California National Guard to quickly assist families whose federal food benefits are halted because of Donald Trump's government shutdown.

We won't let the GOP's cruel inaction force millions of Californians to go hungry.

What’s telling is right before they were discussing his problematic social media and how we needed to get ‘beyond purity tests’ on MSNBC.

They knew he had it. So they lobbed a soft ball to build the framework of “over reaction” and “priorities” then revealed the tattoo

Lecturing active soldiers about being too fat while dropping standards so low for the ICE deportation force that a third of their recruits can't handle the easiest PT test I've ever heard of www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

More than a third have failed so far, four officials told me, impeding the agency’s plan to hire, train, and deploy 10,000 deportation officers by January. To pass, recruits must do 15 push-ups and 32 sit-ups, and run 1.5 miles in 14 minutes.
“It’s pathetic,” one career ICE official told me, adding that before now, a typical class of 40 recruits had only a couple of candidates fail, because the screening process was more rigorous.

speaking as a metalhead: the guy who hasn't removed his nazi tattoo is not a guy you want to be around. I don't care what he says about how he got it. if he didn't get it covered or lasered, you cannot trust him.

Maybe someone in the nonprofit sector can confirm but I have been told nonprofits prefer recurring donations over a single donation because it makes it easier to plan resources, thus making it easier to have a larger impact.

Starting November 1st, SNAP benefits are being cut, leaving millions of people with limited or no access to food.

If you are able to help, help. Food banks also take cash donations, which allow them to fill the banks with what they know is most needed.

We are truly all we have.

Screenshot of my post from threads:

If you are in a position to do so, now is a fantastic time to donate some non perishables to your local food bank.
It's also a good time to check in with people around you to see if their needs are being met, and how you can help make sure that continues.

Just a reminder Mike Johnson, who is firmly anti-LGTBQ+, lives in a bisexual polycule with his wife, a preacher who lost his church covering up pedophilia, and his wife with Rep. Ogles making frequent nighttime visits.

Look it up.

Exactly. If we break it down to the county level and try those in our local communities, it’s literally a handful.

Deadass we have the highest prison population in the world. We are more than capable of locking them up. Swap them with our non-violent offenders and it won’t even cost us anything.

I live in a Red State. They have always been this way, they were like this when we were kids and they’d threaten to lynch our Black classmates.

Ya’ll just didn’t want to listen.

I’m still hearing ya’ll excuse it, acting like it’s just MAGA as if the Southern Baptist Convention did not happen.
