What's happening in Chicago is not normal.
The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

“I have the right to do anything I want to do—I’m the president of the United States,” says the lawless and unfettered Trump musing about being a dictator.
This is what John Roberts, the Supreme Court’s supermajority and over 77 million Americans have done to our beloved country.

This is Monroe County Michigan. Local GOP holding "support for the millage" hostage to their culture war demands - some of which are in direct violation of the State's Elliott-Larson Civil Rights Act. Shame on them for shooting their own nose to spite their face. bridgemi.com/talent-educa...

I am baffled by the Washington Post's sanitized framing of this story. The Supreme Court is clearly going to "rule on the law" -- that is what courts do! The news is that SCOTUS signaled that it might gut the VRA entirely.

And now they’re bulldozing what’s left—ripping out care, uprooting lives, leaving nothing but dust where help used to grow.
