It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

Last year, the state ended a trailblazing law decriminalizing possession. Drug users in some counties are now in and out of jail, without lawyers, struggling to get treatment

It is no surprise that people who see the world primarily through the lens of geopolitics turn to the right. It is a reactionary framework that locates agency in "great" men and "great" powers rather than in ordinary people acting collectively to change their lives and the world.
