For two months, the U.S. government has been racial profiling as masked federal agents hunted for immigrants throughout Chicago. They’ve repeatedly snatched up U.S. citizens while traumatizing communities. “I felt like a piece of trash.” Here is our story www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/15/l...

Some people are either feigning surprise about the Mamdani candidacy or just clutching their wallets. It's pretty clear:
-Young Democrats are desperate for new, energized leadership
-Mamdani is offering the economic populism that when unrealized, led to Trump
-He's a happy warrior in a bitter time.
