Y'all we have one more day to make 19 presents happen. Please help if you can.
Tomorrow is the last day of this holiday toy drive for Chicago families impacted by ICE. 41 of the 60 kids who were registered have had a present purchased.
Organizers are hoping every child and family can receive a gift. Let's help them reach their goal!

Hey Megyn Kelly,
14-year-old Eloise would like a word:
“If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good…
because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”
Sound up! 🔥🔊

Pardon my suddenly watery eyes, but a long-time regular just stopped in with this.
He'd been reading, found this line, and thought of me, so he wrote it out and brought it in.

My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know they’re all your people."
In Chicago, We Run Toward Danger Together
"Faced with unrelenting state violence, Chicagoans have refused to be cowed," says Mariame Kaba.

The Trump administration could allow the Department of Homeland Security to collect immigrant children's DNA and other sensitive biometric information, from the sound of their voice to the unique identifiers in their eyes.
This endangers all of our civil liberties.

This was my favorite movie as a kid. Tears and joy - what I was brought up to believe was the America I lived in.
And yesterday a woman is kidnapped from a daycare center by racist clowns masquerading as cops. WTAF?!?
It makes me so sad and terrified for our country…

It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning.
This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.
