Don’t waste your time replying to Capt Dustos, he has a weak character and enjoys pissing people off.

For me personally, I can still like someone even if they do something wrong or make mistakes, especially if I think they’re trying to do their best. I try to practice forgiveness.

Chicago: Zero Regard for Safety, ICE Escalation in Chicago Leaves Baby in Harm’s Way

If you put ICE officers in jail, their names become a matter of public record. Then the public gets to see exactly how low standards have fallen with the recent hiring blitz.

Doesn't matter if the courts shut this down, you've won the PR battle by showing Nazis and Proud Boys wearing ICE uniforms.

Good. Even if this doesn’t work, it’s time to go on offense.

They tend to be idealistic and not realistic I think. I don’t fault them for being upset at the ISP hurting protestors. It’s the lack of trust that hurts us in the end, because they never give the benefit of the doubt or look for more context to confirm facts.

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

Trump is stooping so low that he’s gutting the federal Office of Special Education.

Attacking students with disabilities is wrong. Every child in America deserves a fair shot at success.

Amid shutdown, Trump administration guts department overseeing special education

Multiple sources tell NPR that as part of the Trump administration's latest reduction-in-force, the U.S. Department of Education has gutted the office that handles special education.

Agreed. I believe the true endgame is probably an Article V constitutional convention. If that happens, everything is at risk, even slavery.

The risk is small now, but the downside risk is so world-ending (like nuclear war) that it needs to be taken seriously.

It’s in a hard leftist’s interests to accelerate suffering so they’ll get their idealistic Revolution. It’s not realistic, eliminating hope helps no one.

That, or they’re just irony poisoned. I take a look at profiles and see so many ironic/doomer banners.

In response to a US President declaring hostilities against his own people.

Or at least doing so on behalf of Miller and the Heritage Foundation.

And just like that, Governor Pritzker saves the day. Received a second email saying Illinois now has its OWN health insurance Marketplace. JB said he’s been state proofing IL from Trump & his cronies & he meant it. A Democrat doing all the right things every day. Thank you @govpritzker.illinois.gov

♥️Monana (Monica) @vintagewingnut.bsky.social · 17h

Was informed I’m being kicked off the Marketplace & will no longer be covered by the ACA in 2026, which is the only insurance I could (barely) afford. It’s either close my business & get an office job, or have no health insurance. This is happening to millions of Americans. Republicans are soulless
