Last year, I emailed Chicago’s chief homelessness officer, Sendy Soto, as well as spokespeople for both Soto & Mayor Johnson, six times. I wanted to understand their approach to evicting unhoused Chicagoans from the shelters they build to survive. No response.

“What appears to be a newly created account appeared to invest $30,000 Friday in Maduro's exit. After Maduro went into custody Saturday morning, that same investor netted $436,759.61.”
Someone made $400K by predicting Maduro's capture. Here's what happened
The winnings come as the rules governing prediction markets are still evolving.

Don’t be fooled: you can’t both claim this was simply the execution of an arrest warrant AND say the U.S. is now "running" Venezuela & grabbing its oil resources.
Trump just admitted this was a clear regime-change play to enrich U.S. oil companies & his billionaire buddies.

Trump and his cronies can try to dress this up, but it is an illegal act of war to replace Maduro and grab Venezuela's oil for his billionaire buddies.

There also need to be elected Democrats, particularly anyone considering a 2028 run, out in public post haste making it clear that a Democratic administration will aggressively prosecute those who carry out illegal orders.
Would like to see some JAG officers on the news talking about whether these military strikes are technically legal and, if not, what sort of liability commanders have incurred by carrying them out.

Three million people live in Caracas, five million in the metro area. It's one of the densest cities in South America. Remember this in the morning when they try to spin this as anything other than a cold-blooded attack on a major civilian center.

It is very important that your federal electeds hear not only from you on social media, but through direct contact as well. Tag them and then
Call and email. Do both. Tell them to move to immediately impeach and remove for an unconstitutional war of aggression.

The flu vaccine doesn't always prevent infection, but it reduces severity.
This is the second pediatric #flu death I've seen in 2 days. I'm so sorry for the pain their families must feel. Unclear if either was vaccinated but odds are they were not, as most such deaths are in unvaccinated children.

Safe streets are under attack right now — including from moneyed interests with nefarious political intent.
We have much work to do to defend and grow our movement in the coming year.
And we have much to do to elect better leaders and hold those in power accountable.

Chicago is a winter city & I think residents pride themselves in navigating the brutal winters. As much as the cold and winter is part of our identity, the city itself doesn’t manage winter & snow well. Right now, our sidewalks are intermittently icy w/ many alleys looking like ice rinks.
