Our last episode of the year is a conversation about what resisting ICE has looked like in Chicago, what we've learned, what it's cost, and where we go from here. I'm so grateful to Gabe Gonzalez, Rey Wences, and Jocelyn Walsh for this convo. This one is special to me. Audio + transcript:

This woman is terrible on clemency. S & P has been pressuring her to commute the sentences of several survivors of domestic and sexual violence who have been criminalized and NOTHING.
District attorneys. Prison superintendents. Even sentencing judges. They’ve urged @governor.ny.gov to grant clemency.
She hasn’t freed anyone all year — despite promising to grant pardons and clemencies on a "rolling basis."

There is currently a shortage of daycare slots of about 128,000 in Massachusetts, so I am not sure 4000 facilities is enough here.
Trump guys are about to Comet Pizza every third daycare center because they think they are all fronts for Somali money laundering. They're only doing this near cities with progressive mayors. This is straight up Government by LibsOfTikTok.

We are behind schedule for hitting our end of year goal, making it very likely that we’ll be starting 2026 off with a closed intake line.

She helped pass a bill—which is 100% part of liberalism. Maybe you don’t like the bill. Maybe the bill will hurt some people and have bad outcomes. But that’s part of liberal democracy.

Friendly reminder that Trump only cares about himself, so he would only care about bulletproof glass if he thought the next inauguration will be for him…
Trump on the ballroom: "It's bigger than I told you. It's, you know -- after realizing we're gonna do the inauguration in that building, it's got all bulletproof glass, it's got all drone, they call it drone-free roof. It's dronessss -- won't touch it. It's a big beautiful safe building."

Fascism is bad regardless of whether your ancestors were targeted in the same way you are targeting others. Hypocrisy is a distraction.

Rioters? Agitators? Immigration agents’ claims against US citizens mostly fall apart in court.
Time and again, Donald Trump’s immigration agents claimed horrific crimes at the hands of protesters in Chicago. Those allegations of abuse did not withstand the scrutiny of judicial review.
