Practically every day we encounter someone who still has no idea ICE shot and killed someone in Chicago already. This happened before many people tuned in (and many have already tuned out again).
Candles, candy and colorful flowers adorned the ofrenda, or altar, that a couple of dozen people helped build Saturday to honor Silverio Villegas González, the man shot and killed by an ICE agent in northwest suburban Franklin Park nearly two months ago.

On the eve of his second election — on October 31, 1936 — FDR delivered his coup de grace, explaining the stakes in his fight with the moneyed interests.
Today’s economic royalists are backing Trump, and the fight is much the same.

This is beyond disgusting
Elderly and disabled people told Congress that cutting Medicaid could kill people and in response, they were arrested in their wheelchairs.
What the hell are we doing?

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

We must demand what we deserve
I’m inspired by the words of @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, the winner of last night’s mayoral primary election in New York City.
Our system may be under attack by Big Money and demagogues, but let his victory serve as a reminder that power belongs to the people.

So a draft-dodger is saying veterans only deserve care if they are loyal to him/the GOP and married. Disgraceful is beyond an understatement, and he and anyone who supports this can F all the way off.
