I support Chicago Pastor David Black who was brutally shot in the head with a pepper ball by ICE while peacefully protesting!

A father mourns his son, killed by the russians. Ukrainians are paying the highest price for their freedom. The free world must stand with Ukraine — and provide everything needed to defeat russian evil.

We’ve paid into a system our entire lives so that very minimal societal needs can be met and at this point all of our tax money is going towards KKKristian Nationalism.

We gotta SHUT THIS SHIT DOWN.

Despite what some, including at DHS, are claiming, this video isn’t from a year ago in Chicago. It was Friday in Hoffman Estates, in my district, a street I’ve walked myself. It appears to show a child being violently detained by ICE. It’s real, and I’m demanding accountability.

Fun fact: the Posse Comitatus Act marked the end of Reconstruction. By denying Federal troops the power to protect the rights of Freedmen, it set the stage for the reemergence of white supremacy in the post Civil War South.

It’s said that no news is good news. The reverse is also true. Good news is no(t) news. The little successes that happen that happen throughout the week won’t draw many clicks. They rarely make it into the news cycle.

The world is seldom as bleak as it seems.

Those high up in the MAGA movement (I hesitate to call them leaders) think they can prove their manhood by cruelty toward the weak, bullying, and bluster. A real man is strong enough to treat others as equals.

MAGA like Pete Hegseth engage in compensatory machismo. Rather than going through the hard work of learning how to run a modern military, he plays macho as if that were enough.
