I'm heading to the burbs today and refreshing myself on SALUTE. ICE hasn't been spotted as much in the city but has been very present in the suburbs.
ICE has been verified in Rogers Park today - sharing this again.

I hope not because I want my rep, Kristen McDonald Rivet, to beat Casten to it. Alternatively they’re welcome to do it together with 216 of their best House friends.

So you'll start and lead impeachment proceedings? Followed by removal and criminal prosecution ?

This is murder. Hegseth thinks he will get away with it because the people around him are more committed to aiding and abetting his crimes than upholding the rule of law. I wouldn't take that bet if I were him, or the people around him. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

For example, one thing that Sen Schiff has done to stand up to attacks on his people is voting to confirm several Trump judges and members of his administration, as recently as an AL district judge on 10/24/25.
“But amanda how is that standing up to attacks on his people” he does it while frowning

When it comes to standing up to attacks on our people and our democracy, my advice is this:
Don't try to do everything. Find one thing you can do to mitigate the harms. If everyone does that, we'll get through this.

I made a riff on this for dinner and it was delicious. A few substitutions - I added worsteshire sauce, subbed 3/4 jar of costco spaghetti sauce + 1 can of diced tomatoes. Also used red cabbage instead of green.

Cabbage Roll Soup
This cabbage roll soup has the same flavors as classic baked cabbage rolls, but with less work! Unstuffed cabbage soup is hearty and filling.

This is the future Mayor Johnson and City Council are keeping from you. #PlowTheSidewalks
I know that many other cities don’t plow their sidewalks, leaving it up to property owners. This is completely crazy to me.
Our sidewalk plows look like this and they do a pretty good job.

Stop saying, "They'll never impeach him." Low expectations grant them permission to continue to do nothing. (Which is a relief to them.)
Demand integrity. Expect better of them. Require them to do their jobs and honor the oaths they swore.
Stop giving them permission.
THEY. ARE. LISTENING.
