I finished this book now too long ago and found it fascinating. I literally didn't know any of the history of the convict leasing program in Southern states during and after Reconstruction and the attempt to re-enslave some portion of newly freed Black Americans.

The Chicago Tribune should be ashamed of itself. An opinion piece on banning social media for kids, and of course one of their prominent supporting links is to a WSJ piece about how TikTok feeds teenagers images of the genocide in Gaza... Whitewashing is fucking disgusting. Link in the comments.

Trump ran on a promise that ICE would go after the “worst" criminals.
But the real crime is in oligarchs taking $170b from your healthcare and food assistance to form a secret police force.
Our country has defeated fascism before and it is time we fight to uphold our legacy.

The testimony in court of the conditions at Broadview show the facility is disgusting, inhumane, and needs to be shut down.

Witness testimony now beginning with Pablo Moreno González, a Mexican national and one of the class rep plaintiffs. He says he's lived in Chicago 35 years.
Gettleman comments that the alleged conditions in Broadview are "in [his] words, disgusting."
If they're true, he says, "Every day that goes by would be irreparably harming the putative class."

@govpritzker.illinois.gov , it looks like you have betrayed the protestors at Broadview. If you expect everyone to be okay sitting around waiting for you to win in court and make run at the presidency while ICE illegally kidnaps our neighbors, expect to be wrong.

@indivisible.org can we do a national campaign to push Dems to have a leadership fight in Senate and House? I don't really care how this shutdown turns out, I imagine Schumer and Jeffries will either screw it up or cave for essentially nothing.

Now, this is how we deliver to working people in Illinois! But, it's not enough to simply announce this stuff and sit back. We need to get on down there and make downstate Republicans recon with the fact they have no power to deliver to their voters, Illinois Dems do! Eat it MAGA!
