It’s up to the People to push the Democrats to the Left, and beyond. This is how bad things have become. Democrats had huge momentum. But no, it’s time to squander everything. Contribute to every progressive candidate you can. Screw the rest. And support independent media.

Happening now in Broadview—outside Chicago:
A procession of Illinois Handmaid’s, with the Illinois Democratic Women of Cook County, walks in procession to the ICE detention facility.
“Even though we are silent, we are powerful,” an organizer told the group before starting.

On November 7, 2025, in Chicago, Federal Goons were seen drawing guns and confronting a mother and her child outside the Broadview ICE facility. The Goons were heard telling the mother to “shut the fuck up.”

Trump's tariffs are hurting us in two ways:
First, the obvious: Higher costs → either lower profits or higher prices.
Second, more subtle (perhaps bigger): We’ve signaled we’re an unreliable partner, so allies are reorganizing supply chains to avoid us. That's hard to unwind.

QUESTION re shutdown... Is there any truth to the rumor that Rumor Johnson is waiting for the TN-7th special election on Dec 2, expecting an R win, which will neutralize Grijalva's vote re the Epstein files?

“Dysfunctional government” doesn’t even begin to describe this.
1.4 million civilian federal employees didn’t get a paycheck. And the part no one’s talking about: even if the government reopens tomorrow, we’ll be right back on the edge by November 21—the next shutdown deadline.
Chaos on repeat.

Hello from the Toronto Court of Appeal! ⚖️ Animal Justice is intervening in the case involving vegan firefighter Adam Knauff, who was denied plant-based meals on the job. The court will decide if he can appeal after his discrimination case was dismissed on a technicality.
