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...

Huge shout out to Chip for quarterbacking this project and building a database of use of force incidents during “Midway Blitz” that gives our readers a better impression of the scope of this operation.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Like the Nazis from Germany were defeated by Russian winter, I think the ICE thugs will shiver in Chicago winter

Happening now in Broadview—outside Chicago:

A procession of Illinois Handmaid’s, with the Illinois Democratic Women of Cook County, walks in procession to the ICE detention facility.

“Even though we are silent, we are powerful,” an organizer told the group before starting.

Just wrote an upbeat (!) Morning Shots.

I mean, if not today, when?

We should relish this moment. For a few hours. Because we should realize that these results are going to make the Trump administration even more aggressive about tilting the 2026 playing field, and we need to be ready for that.
