The level of normie involvement and investment in Chicago in what is essential a city-wide* decentralized grassroots mutual aid program of resistance to ICE/CBP — it is truly a remarkable inspiration in these otherwise awful times.

A new video surfaced of putin and there’s something really wrong with his hands. Russians online are starting to worry their ruler isn’t okay.

Nevertheless, we hope he never gets well.

That is a you being lazy problem. Look it up like the rest of us and be responsible with your platform.
Honestly, I haven't seen much in the news about (most) reps doing *anything*

From what people are saying here, sounds like this poster is reading the wrong things. (& if I'm not seeing it in the news, I'm guessing a lot of others also aren't.)

So please share more examples & am happy to amplify.

If you're only watching the news - when every tv news outlet is owned by billionaires that are handing Trump money...Good Lord.

Follow more Dems on social media. Seek out articles from places like the UK, Canada, France.

Your inability to seek out info is not the Dems' fault.

I do slightly think that what is happening in Chicago could be the beginnings of a non-violent civil disobedience movement that goes way beyond just like, No Kings protests, and could grow quite a lot
This morning, in Broadview, 14 suburban women were arrested during an act of civil disobedience calling for an end to ICE/CBP’s kidnappings throughout the Chicago area.

“We want to encourage other people who feel strongly about ICE’s actions to step off the sidelines and take our cities back.”

Another thing that definitely did not happen this week. They really think we're stupid and white voters have not proven them wrong yet.
Dr Oz on the guy who collapsed in the Oval Office: "The president, God bless him, called the wife from the Oval Office giving her updates on how her husband was doing. When you actually know the man as a human being, not as a political actor, you have to love him."

DSA is anti Ukraine too. My people keep chasing Reagan's GOP at one end or "anti-imperial" leftists (who somehow love China & Russia) at the other. We need to listen to the Black & Jewish voting bloc for the sake of our ancestral homeland AND what's right in the US.
You don’t see Black Women backing DSA.. Should tell you all you need to know about that “organization”. THEY believe Blacks are “low information voters”

The FUCK we are.
