“The suburban apathy that has kept too many Southern Californians on the sidelines as immigration agents sweep into our cities was nowhere to be felt in Little Village…The intensity of their pushback was more concentrated, raw and widespread than almost anything I’ve seen back home.”
MY LATEST @latimes.com FRONT-PAGER: In Chicago, residents mount a community-wide defense against Trump's deportation machine. Share, porfas!
Commentary: In Chicago, residents mount a community-wide defense against Trump's deportation machine
Over the past two months, ICE has swept throughout Chicago but has swung its hammer with gusto on Little Village, considered the Mexican heart of the city.

3 million dying because Elon wants to impress Nazis with how miuch he hates his kid
The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought:
- 1.65 million deaths from AIDS
- 500,000 from lack of vaccines
- 550,000 from lack of food aid
- 290,000 from malaria
- 310,000 from TB

Killing children is by design, I'm afraid. "Pro-natalists" like Musk claim they aren't racist, but their pressure to have children is solely focused on white women, while they back policies that literally kill of non-white children.
He's a eugenicist.

Trump and Musk are gutting Social Security from within. They’re firing thousands to break the system so billionaire donors can cash in on your retirement. This isn’t about saving money — it’s a plot to steal your earned benefits.
