A very important thread for Chicagoans, who are getting these texts & ads against progressive alders & the mayor's proposed budget
MORE ON PACs — It’s budget season in Chicago and the text messages are flowing.

It’s important to understand who is behind the political action committees reaching out to you.

Urban Center PAC = launched in 2024 by failed mayoral candidate Paul Vallas.

Who’s behind those texts slamming Mayor Johnson and some progressive alders for their ‘snap curfew’ vote? • The TRiiBE
A round of political text messages are circulating in Chicago after the mayor’s veto on a youth curfew ordinance. Experts say these campaigns are only going to increase from here.

Salo was a documentary, the truest film ever made, one that slides farther down the spectrum from metaphor to literal reality every year

Last night was really special. Hopefully, everyone will get to see our movie soon!

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

I grew up in rural Southern Ohio outside of Cincinnati and Waffle Houses saved lives... Literally, materially, spiritually. Interventions were had. Existential questions asked and answered. Self-harm attempts abated. Never underestimate the sanctity (and preparedness) of a Waffle House.
Everybody needs to take Waffle House's customer service as a model. They hate the day you were born. They'll take this outside. But they'll serve you up some smothered covered hasbrowns that make you weep for joy.
super grateful that a lot of my service industry jobs were at the kind of places where the customers kinda like it if you’re mean or grumpy at them i did the hell out of those jobs

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility.

Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.
A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

it does seem like there’s a major—though potentially fleeting—opportunity to invest in left-wing media. more than a million people in the most populous city in america just enthusiastically elected a democratic socialist and the world is watching. putting $$ towards left media rn is good business.
