We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.
"Jones, 27, is among the residents left at 7500 S. South Shore Drive who are trying to piece together what remains after an early morning, high-powered federal immigration raid led to the arrests of dozens of their neighbors at their South Shore apartment building."
Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated'
The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

What does it mean to be trans?
I can only speak for myself. That will have to be enough. It is for me.
I am 41 years old and I finally feel at home in my body. Comfortable within the confines of my skin. The at home feeling is a shard of trans joy.

There should be no forgiveness for Ezra Klein, Gavin Newsom, or anyone else who whitewashed Charlie Kirk's image in the wake of his death. They participated in a cleanup job that is facilitating Kirk's status as a "martyr." They have had a hand in the harm the administration will do in Kirk's name.

“Kirk & I were on different sides of most political arguments. We were on the same side of the continued possibility of American politics.”
So it’s personal? B/c if you were a Black woman or transgender, Kirk would not imagine you having any role in the future of American politics.

Abuse is NOT a two-way street.
It's NOT mutual.
It's one person seeking power and control - and another doing whatever it takes just to survive.

It's so wild to believe that just nine months ago, this was the woman who nearly killed congestion pricing with an illegal executive fiat, and now she's grandstanding about defending it from Trump trying to kill congestion pricing with an illegal executive fiat.

When I reported a long 2021 piece about Cuomo, a thing that many people who worked for him for years told me about (besides the corruption, incompetence & cruel domination tactics) was that he & those in his senior circles JUST DIDN'T CARE about policy, or about actually getting anything done.

Gonna repeat: Democrats love to ask how Trump voters can be so stupid. And yet, 50% of New Yorkers are supporting Cuomo who is a serial sexual harasser, got thousand killed during COVID, and orchestrated GOP control of the NY legislature.
Andrew Cuomo literally architected GOP control of the state legislature. He is the definition of a DINO.
Do not rank Andrew Cuomo on your ballot.

Eric Adams got his corruption charges dropped. All it took was selling out New Yorkers to Donald Trump.
We’re all tired of this spineless, failed mayor, but remember: Andrew Cuomo is running for Adams' 2nd term.
Same donors. Same chaos. Just a new Trump ally in Gracie Mansion.
