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.

Same goobers ordering extrajudicial war crime murders in broad daylight are in the chain of command for authorizing a nuclear strike. In practice you have to hope an addled president has a not addled Secretary of Defense or Chairman of the Joint Chiefs who refuses to confirm or pass along an order.

Blue MAGA gets mad at us when we point this out, but it's a significant problem. That's why we're working with Courage Candidates, who promise impeachment articles on day one of their terms. citizensimpeachment.com/candidates/

What is Jared Kushner's job in the administration?
I’d rather question why is Kushner there and why is he laying out a vision? We did not vote him into any gov position nor the senate we voted for has approved his candidacy.

What can Senators do, some say. Ack.
Don’t let the Democratic leadership tell us that there’s nothing that can be done!
Just listen to these ten Senators, who know that much more fight and action can be brought, but Schumer and Gillibrand in the Senate and Jeffries in the House are killing action.

This is infuriating on so many levels, but partly because it ignores Congressional intent to penalize immigrants who followed the rules. And partly because these are people who have done nothing wrong beyond trying to negotiate a broken system.

If wealth was steps, everyone you have ever met is on the first or second step. Your wealthy aunt, that unhoused person, you - the same two steps. King of England? About the 8th step. The likes of Bezos? Their step is at the International Space Station.
In sociology, a recurring methodological problem encountered by those trying to study the very rich is that their domains of existence are so far removed from the experiences of ordinary people that the researchers, before they even start, have to fundamentally reshape their social ontologies
When we talk about "taxing rich people" there's folks who think we're talking about Aunt Edna who has the second summer home. The astronomical levels of "rich" that now exist are almost unfathomable to people. It's the stuff of vast empirical dynasties. We're talking about taxing emperors.

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.
