When I'm drowning in darkness or despair, I remind myself of the following:
1) I didn't predict us getting to this, so what makes me think I can predict how this all ends
2) Chicago has stepped up to a degree and with a speed that I would have believed literally impossible

Emmanuel, a 15-year-old with intellectual disabilities, wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand in October.
She reported him missing to Houston police. But instead of reuniting them, the city turned him over to ICE.
“They’re failing all of us,” his mom said.

James Carville now: "The Democratic Party must now run on the most populist economic platform since the Great Depression."

Again, something that happens to Black people all the time, that we only notice is horrific when it starts happening at 1/100th the scale, to other people.🤷🏿♂️
Dept of Justice officials estimate that US cops shoot 10,000 dogs a year.
Is it worse when ICE kills a family dog than when cops do it?

![You Do Not, Under Any Circumstances, "Gotta Hand It To Them" is a catchphrase and phrasal template inspired by a 2017 Dril tweet. The original reads, "issuing correction on a previous post of mine, regarding the terror group ISIL. you do not, under any circumstances, 'gotta hand it to them.'" The snowclone is usually used as a joke to make fun of a poster who appears to have praised a villainous person or organization.
On February 15th, 2017, Dril[1] tweeted, "issuing correction on a previous post of mine, regarding the terror group ISIL. you do not, under any circumstances, 'gotta hand it to them,'" gaining over 14,000 retweets and 59,000 likes in six years (shown below). There was no "previous post" Dril was referring to.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2msyqncztbbz2vszcb3luinm/bafkreidazucilonnx2gojhgxtzf3xrz5auponsozu4noexqhgvs3sugq3a@jpeg)
