Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.”

The result was “institutionalized hunger.”

Making fun of our neighborhoods and communities is disgusting.

Greg Bovino and his masked agents are not here to make Chicago safer. As children are tear gassed and U.S. citizens detained, they are posing for photo ops and producing reality TV moments. blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/10/b...
Border Patrol Agents Pose At The Bean For Apparent Photo Op
The photo op came after agents tear-gassed a Little Village street and were spotted in the area numerous times. At the Bean, one agent shouted, "Everyone say, 'Little Village!'"

Contrary Freeman's claims of Clanchy's career having been "demolished", "turned into roadkill", and only just now "back on track", Clanchy was actually signed up by a new publisher within weeks of being dropped by Picador, and has had five new editions published since.

Post #HurricaneMelissa, plenty on-the-ground mobilization continues in JA, with nuff efforts in the diaspora as well. Movement on-the-ground is key, though, pre-empting flights down, transfers to local agencies, etc. That can't best a car setting off this a.m., reaching this p.m. BigUp local actors!

Special characters are clearly part of my CUSTOMER ID NUMBER that I've copied and pasted. I call TD Canada Trust. TD's Annie very helpfully offers to input my Customer ID Number at her end and gets the same message. So, she says call Bell. An inexcusable runaround in 2025! @tdcanada.bsky.social

@tdcanada.bsky.social So, here I am trying to add a payee online to my Bill Payments. I select Bell XXXXXX, and I am told "YOUR ACCOUNT NUMBER IS THE CUSTOMER ID NUMBER (14 DIGITS/CHARACTERS IN LENGTH)" I do as instructed and get a message telling me that I cannot include special characters. 1/2
