Devastating piece on the human toll of Kavanaugh Stops.
Especially infuriating to know that rich white guys like Brett K can simply close their eyes to the human suffering their racist jurisprudence has unleashed.

For two months, the U.S. government has been racial profiling as masked federal agents hunted for immigrants throughout Chicago. They’ve repeatedly snatched up U.S. citizens while traumatizing communities. “I felt like a piece of trash.” Here is our story www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/15/l...
Latino US citizens racially profiled by federal immigration agents in Chicago: ‘I felt like a piece of trash’
The Tribune spoke to U.S. citizens and green card holders who have either been questioned or detained during Trump’s Operation Midway Blitz.

When those who work full-time cannot secure shelter, it is a profound failure of society to honor the dignity and worth of every person.Every story spread, every awareness raised, strengthens the possibility that no one need endure such hardship alone.

Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness.
I'll be interviewed along with two families from There Is No Place for Us. It would mean a lot if you'd watch and help spread the word.

Reuters did a in-depth look into this rapid US military buildup, right on the doorstep of Venezuela, and also consulted experts who concluded there was far too much materiel and troops here for mere drug interdiction ops.

The US military is upgrading a Cold War base in the Caribbean it abandoned 20 years ago. Experts say it’s a step towards sustained operations in the region.

Very helpful way to visualize poverty versus various levels of wealth.

People not wearing respirators, when are you going to take responsibility for the fact that you are literally killing people?
“Leslie Lee rightly criticized the inconsistency of people who mourned Lynch’s passing while, in their own lives, failed to take simple protective steps — like wearing a respirator — that could have helped keep people like Lynch stay safe and alive.” Powerful writing about our friend.

Please mask up and stop spreading COVID, in memory of Alice.
Respect Alice Wong’s call here:
“When I am in public spaces and see most people unmasked either because they think the virus is a hoax, that masking is virtue signaling & a sign of weakness, aren't thinking about it, or that they simply don’t care, I feel like an expendable burden not worth saving.”

@govpritzker.illinois.gov You need to do more to enforce our laws or you won't get your own state's votes in 2028.
@govpritzker.illinois.gov I want you to watch this video of me slammed to the ground- why are you allowing this to happen to people you know are on the right side of history. They tied my hands behind my back and when I asked them to be loosened because I was going numb they said, “STFU.”
at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.
he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.
situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.
