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.

I did think of that, but I think the reaction on your skin since it’s already damaged might make it worse.

Yeaaaaa acetic acid is just vinegar but stronger so not really much to do about that. Hopefully doesn’t hurt too much 😭 make sure you get that covered after it’s thoroughly rinsed off.

Chicago Mayor Issues Defiant Call For A General Strike

It was an audacious proposal, given that the U.S. has never held a true, nationwide general strike.

Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) at the Boston No Kings rally today, wore the trans pride flag like a scarf draped over his shoulders and included in his speech. "Because here in Massachusetts, we stand for what is right. We stand with trans people because trans rights are human rights."

I realize things have never been great but it does feel especially lately like the main job of many people is to not know things, in an age where every day we're all knowing more things we'd rather not know so that takes genuine effort

Q: What's your message to the 170 US citizens who have been detained by ICE? About 20 of them are children

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know what you're talking about with the children. I haven't seen that so I'm not going to comment on it.

In calling out Cuomo for only visiting a mosque AFTER he lost to a Muslim candidate, Mamdani perfectly illustrates what’s wrong with Centrist Dems. They are:
•Elitist
•Reactionary
•Out of touch
•Transactional
•Consultant driven
•Offended when shown how to do better
They’ve learned Nothing since 2016

Louisiana v. Callais, in one sentence:

The only way to stop discrimination against Black voters is to stop discriminating against white voters in remedying the initial violation.

This case is about appeasing white voters, and nothing else.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

There’s a way I despise that we have to say “it will hurt you in the long run” to make people give a care. Hello? Just care even if it has nothing to do with you.

Graphic of boot trodding on head. “Every boot you ignore stomping on someone’s else’s neck is just breaking in the leather for yours."
