Intelligence work. Liberal Drafted into the underground group that is behind Trump. I left when I discovered genocidal racists, and Slavers, cults, bloody mass graves. In JUNE the SCOTUS may try to make black/brown/liberal VOTES INSIGNIFICANT FOREVER.

Yes, let the sun rise... let the light show the cretins in the shadows, creeping about planning to kill millions, feeling superior with their brief, hold of power. Lawlessness. Entitled like kings. The wealthy will write their own obituaries. I hope they include being taxed and helping the world

Any pull toward the left will help, and Democratic Socialists may want more than they get, though also maybe not? Get the working class voting for their real interests, and seeing the results can change the game. Takes a bit of time. Helps a lot here in Chicago with crime, having a DSA mayor.
Democratic Socialism is definitely not communism. But there has long been a raging debate among socialists regarding what it actually is, hence the errors and ambiguities reflected in this and other MSM "explainers." 1/
Some compare Democratic socialism to communism. Here's how the movements differ
While critics have deemed Zohran Mamdani's Democratic socialist beliefs as "communist," historians contend the group has actually built off democratic principles.

At 16 and 17 years old, Sam and Ben Luhmann for the past two months have made it their mission to follow, investigate and capture federal immigration activity across the Chicago area.
West Chicago brothers are on the front lines against ‘Operation Midway Blitz.’ And they’re only teenagers.
The wave of youth activists who have been galvanized into action by “Operation Midway Blitz” follow a long tradition paved around the world by young activists.

She came in dead last in the qualifying rounds as well, but the tournament changed the rules to let a trump play. Great lesson for the kids. I saw a five yr grandchild of Trump joking and laughing about how his granpa cheats at Golf. Like it was cool.
Things didn't go according to plan for Kai Trump on Thursday as the 18 year old finished at the bottom of the leaderboard following the opening round at The Annika.

CATHOLIC LEADERSHIP TELLS POPE LEO......... FUCK YOU AND THIS LOVE EVERYBODY SHIT. WE ARE MAGA AND WE HATE LIBTARDS LIKE YOU. Looks like a problem for... a Pope to handle, or drive the youth from the church in even greater numbers. Sad.

The anti-trans shit is losing the Fascists votes... I support Trans rights. I support liberty, freedom, and JUSTICE FOR ALL. Like many I thought justice would come from others. Now I know the people have to do the work of supplying POLITICAL WILL to politicians. Organizing over tv ads wins.

Fiction I will read by a poster I respect. Thank you, Dr. Nat.
SURPRISE! My first collection is out in the world!
(Albeit currently only via the NBP website - this is the softest of soft launches)

Is Magnus Archives-esque short fiction your thing? If so - THE NINE O'CLOCK HORSES might be the weekend read for you...

I read a journalist talk about going into Epstein's place and being offered a 'massage' while he waited. He said it was obvious a honey pot. Later, when you trace his sudden fortune, a man with a high school diploma, he becomes a spy, his pedophilia used to bring down or manipulate the powerful.

Landmark owns 34% of rental property, and they are predatory slumlords from Israel. Why? Trump loves racist slumlords.

WHEN ICE INVADED
NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

God Bless the Pope. The Republicans voted to allow the church into Politics. 1.4 billion Catholics. Some are scum like Vance. Some rise from the Southside of Chicago to become the pope and tries to protect all people, regardless of faith.

Where Trump see's a hardened criminal, as do viewers of Fox, I see a mother going to work in a SANCTUARY CITY who broke a civil offense, who is being treated like a felon. Here children see just an empty space where their mother was...

When MeToo happened it was cool to come out of the silence society enforces on survivors & wake everybody up to how many of us are out there & how endemic sexual abuse is. But focus was abuse by the powerful, not us who get raped by a nobody. And we saw only the smallest ripple, abusers still win.
