I was working with my Spanish teacher on expressions using "por" and all the examples I made up were about Dick Cheney, como:

Por fin, el ex vicepresidente se murió.

Toda la gente no está viviendo, por ejemplo el ex vicepresidente

Por casualidad, oíste que el ex vicepresidente se murió?

LAPD Sgt Charnock just told two white, publicly drinking revelers that LAPD was about to start shooting things at the street to get people to clear the intersection.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

Chicago Mayor Issues Defiant Call For A General Strike
It was an audacious proposal, given that the U.S. has never held a true, nationwide general strike.

It was mass protests with no discernible objective in 2016 that convinced me to finally seek out an organization. Spending your time introducing people to organization is prob a more useful thing to be doing than shaming people that go to the "wrong" type of protest.

More feds and protesters have arrived. Maybe 100 neighbors here now. Close to 50 Feds. Agents appear armed with a full assortment of chemical munitions.

Protesters moved 30+ feet back as agents with tear gas launchers moved to the front line.

It’s also 86° in Chicago rn.

Wow with so many cops living in the city of Simi Valley I'm very surprised something like this could happen. How does anti-Black racism get fostered in the youth in a city full of cops? 🤨

This activist's guitar was destroyed by ICE today. ICE fired multiple rounds of rubber bullets at us, and the guitar was struck. I am trying to raise $800 to help replace their instrument, which they rely on for gigs. I bet someone out here can straight up cover the cost. DM me.

Despite the Instagram rhetoric around "housing" by liberal politicians, by and large the government's response to (visible) poverty is criminalization, displacement and banishment.

At the Broadview ICE "processing facility" outside Chicago this morning.

Protesters here for this morning's action are gathering off 25th now that Beach has been fenced off.

A pair of men peering through the fence at ICE vehicles shout, "Get the fuck out of Chicago, you terrorists!"

Casey Wasserman listed his last home at $125 million which would have been the highest-ever sales price in LA County but ended up selling it to David Geffen for $68 million.

Glad this person is making LA's deals with the White House!

After leaving his immigration hearing with his sleeping daughter in his arms, a man is confronted by ICE and CBP. He passes the child to his wife in the waiting room, shares tearful goodbyes, and is then detained and escorted toward the staircase where he’ll be brought to the 10th floor.

Regardless of the disgraceful nonsense we will likely hear from this administration in the coming days on vaccine “recommendations,” Americas healthcare insurers issued a joint statement tonight saying coverage for Covid and flu shots will remain unchanged from prior years.

Speaks for itself.
