Great news. In response to ICE fascists in unmarked cars refusing to provide ID or warrants while kidnapping people, Cook County chief judge Timothy Evans has signed an order banning ICE fascists from arresting people around local courthouses without a warrant.

I was Pritzker’s biggest fanboy, so I realize it’s hard to accept his betrayal. It was hard for me, but I saw it with my own eyes.
Please stop gaslighting me about Pritzker. You weren’t there. I was. These are Pritzker’s brown shirts, working fist-in-glove with ICE/CBP.

Pritzker on Trump sending troops into cities: "He has other aims other than fighting crime... he would like to stop the elections in 2026 or frankly take control of those elections. He'll just claim there's some problem with an election and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control."

Due to tariffs, we're likely to hear a lot about farm mental health as harvest approaches this year. Especially scary stories about farmer suicide.
So let's get it on the record now. The "farmer suicide epidemic" of the last few years in the US is not real.
It's a lobbying tactic.

This is how the "prisons are slavery" discourse falls flat on its face and fails. As much as the evocation resonates, as much as it (accurately) points to the historic continuum of captivity and subjugation of enslaved and colonized peoples, the US imprisons the most people on the planet...

Every single story you are hearing from the Everglades Concentration Camp has been and is already taking place in hundreds of prisons and jails in the U.S. That's what PIC abolitionists have been trying to get the public to understand for decades.

I think it's really important to mock and ridicule the people responsible for all these American crimes. That's not because what they're doing is funny or lighthearted; it's because poking at their deepest insecurities and exposing them to public shame is absolutely essential to winning this fight.

If you live in a blue metro area or a blue state more generally, the message coming out of the GOP is pretty clear: We're not trying to live with you or come to a common agreement about how to live; we're going to extract YOUR resources to pay ourselves and shape the country to our tastes.

Before the vaccine, close to 10% of measles infections resulted in deafness. It currently causes 100K children/yr to become blind. 1/1000 who recover completely will later develop a fatal encephalitis. Every infection disrupts the immune system, and can cause loss of all immunity to other infections

What I mean by this is straightforward: The relative lack of open political violence (with a few major exceptions, e.g. Oklahoma City) in the United States between c. 1980 and 2020ish was a massive outlier in the history of this country. It wasn't the norm.
