It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.
But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

Trump just declared a national emergency over Cuba — and quietly gave himself authority to tariff third countries that sell oil to Havana.
Emergency powers. Vague definitions. Trade as punishment.
This is bigger than Cuba.
Factcheck coming in asap.

This is absurd to put all of those CBP agents involved in the murder of Alex Pretti back onto the streets already.
They pose a very real, proven danger to the community.

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.
This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

Alex Pretti was a hero whose government murdered him.

All regime mouthpieces who have lied about the murder of VA nurse Alex Pretti must resign immediately. All DHS officials and agents involved must be prosecuted.

Breaking: 3,000 homes in Midland Texas are without power. It's cold but no ice has fallen. And the number of homes losing power are increasing by the minute. Is this another power grid failure in Texas?

I cannot conceive how much PTSD regular civilians caught in a war develop. War is the worst thing humans have ever invented.
So it’s 1:50 am and I’m in Kyiv a hallway shaking not because I’m scared but as if part of every explosion wave gets stuck in my body and maybe it does and every next one amplifies it

Some truth being spoken in Davos. Thank you, Canada.
Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "
