Just a nerdy Chicagolander whose birth year starts with a 1 that doesn't like filling out online bios.
Nur nerda Ĉikagolandano, kies naskiĝjaro komenciĝas per 1, kiu ne ŝatas plenigi retajn sinpriskribojn.

Poor #DementiaDon… can’t figure out why no one’s paying attention to him….

We should be able to fire Johnson. He is denying every person in the US representation by not allowing lawmakers to work.

The #MAGAstapo are abducting teachers right out of daycare.
I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.
I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.
But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

The voters have spoken, not sure what good a lawsuit will do. California Republicans filed a lawsuit this morning challenging the new congressional map that takes effect following the approval of Proposition 50.

If you’re celebrating Halloween please spare a thought for all the kids in Chicago too scared to go trick or treating because ICE agents might tear gas or kidnap them.
This is what operation “Midway Blitz” has done and it’s disgusting.

When investigators debunked the real-life existence of these undead monsters, it didn’t kill their appeal.

Here’s hoping there’s an arrest for assault in that guy’s immediate future.
The two holding off the crowd are probably in for it as accomplices, too.

The largest war ship in the world has been moved to the Caribbean, along with other ships, bombers, amphibious vehicles and more.
That’s a lot of firepower to stop small vessels carrying drugs.
It looks a lot more like preparation for war.
Congress needs to get involved before it’s too late.

#MAGAstapoBarbie can’t wait to ruin #Halloween for Chicago’s kids… and I’m guessing the rest of the country as well.
This is how we make America great, apparently: Stealing candy from children.

FOX: Pritzker has asked you specifically to pause immigration enforcement operations in Chicago so kids can safety celebrate Halloween. Do you have any plans to alter activity tomorrow?
NOEM: No. We're gonna be out on the streets in full force and increase our activities to make sure kids are safe.

I’m didn’t grow up on #SNAP. I’m not on the program now, either. But there was a time in my life when I relied on those benefits for food.
The hoops they make a person jump through just to eat are already offensive; to pull that support out from under millions just to be petty is unforgivable.

A mother of 8 was deported within 24 hours of reporting sexual harassment by an ICE contracto
She was following the rules & going through the process to get her green card
Someone working on behalf of ICE abused her.
She spoke out and was kicked out of the country.
It’s retaliation & it’s wrong
