Okay you’re welcome to do nothing but I’d rather you keep that to yourself instead of discouraging the rest of us. My neighbors and I here in Illinois will keep fighting for each other, no matter what.

Looked at X to see what their response has been to the events at Broadview Park and it is, somewhat surprisingly, to simply deny Fr. Dowling's priesthood

In all the horrible news Israel & the US generate when they work together, it is instructive that I learn that Israel’s strike on Qatar didn’t even kill the Hamas officials it was allegedly targeting *from an article about how Trump will personally profit from the ceasefire.*

ICE Is Targeting Day Labor Centers in LA That Hold Contracts With the City

Elected leaders are failing to protect immigrant workers. We must build community power, as only we can keep us safe.

The regime gets more deranged every day. A rightwing conspiracy theorist assassinated a Democratic lawmaker - which the attorney general presents as an example of leftwing political violence in order to justify an authoritarian crackdown on the opposition…

We’re in incredibly dangerous territory.

Bondi: "We've been living through a horrific cycle of political violence in this country ... night after night antifa wrecks havoc on the streets of our cities. In Minnesota, a gunman murdered a state lawmaker and her husband."

By the time the MSPB resolves pending cases, many employees will have found other jobs. Most people cannot afford to remain out of work while their claims go through the system. And most won't want to leave those new jobs to return to an employer who has spent the last year making their life hell.

Many federal employees accept lower pay relative to the private sector in exchange for stability, an opportunity to serve the public, and a degree of autonomy. As those incentives are reduced, there are fewer reasons to remain or join the civil service.

This looks like one of their "canteens" that are supposed to be used in emergencies and disasters. It was probably deployed at request of Cook County EMRS. I *think* there was an older version of this truck that was stored near Loyola hospital in Maywood.

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

I am the pickiest Christian on earth and I will defend Samaritan’s Purse before I defend the Salvation Army. They are doing the opposite of the Gospel.
