According to federal data, 13 of the top 20 cities in homicide rates have Republican governors. None of those cities are Chicago.
8 of the top 10 states in homicide rates are led by Republicans. None of those states are Illinois.
And yet Trump is sending troops here.

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.

The idea that some human beings should be treated as created in God’s image and some shouldn’t is the beginning of every kind of cruelty Christians carry out in the name of Christ.
Every human being is created in God’s image and should be treated accordingly.
Period.

ICE attorney Adam Boyd resigns rather than help Trump disappear families.
Because real patriotism means refusing to enforce tyranny.
That’s the kind of courage we need right now.

We’ve truly lost our way in this country.
An 80-year-old vet who fought for this country just got arrested protesting Trump‘s parade. He deserves respect, not handcuffs.

I’m hearing rumors that thousands of people are calling the ICE tip line to report little green men and other aliens from outer space. That’s not why ICE set up this number, so you should absolutely NOT call that tip line to report those types of aliens. 👽
I repeat—do NOT call the below number! ☎️
