ICE has been cracking down hard across the vast expanse of the greater Chicago area, and I wrote a little bit about what you need to understand about what it’s like here now. Plus, I compiled some resources for locals to get alerts and whistles. dansinker.com/posts/202…

A reminder that Bolsonaro plotted to poison Lula, assassinate his vice president, and murder a Supreme Court Justice.

The seeds are being planted to rig the midterms. It’s becoming more explicit. (Also note the gratuitous shot at the NBA, aka Black athletes who oppose him)

"Go get a real job" is tuff in this context

"Mate, I can't do anything but tell it to you straight. This Canada thing is literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard. The Canadians ran an advertisement showing Ronald Reagan being against tariffs. Guess what? Ronald Reagan was against tariffs."

The energy we need is this suburban dad standing out in the street -- barefoot with Blackhawks pajama pants on -- screaming at the masked goons to get the fuck out of their neighborhood.

Border patrol agents deployed tear gas on the 3700 block of North Kildare where residents say a landscape worker, a resident, and a woman on a bike were detained. Video from a resident.

This is insane

Happy Ace Week from Scarleteen! To celebrate the last day of this special week, we have compiled a list of resources within and beyond Scarleteen for you and yours:

I'd love to talk to small - mid-size orgs who are aligned & interested in chipping in. Reposts appreciated 🙏🏾 github.com/lolaodelola/...

Just watched @profmmurray.bsky.social blow up some foolishness on @allinwithchris.bsky.social a few minutes ago regarding the SCOTUS descision to stop nationwide injunctions by lower courts.

WTF? www.cnn.com/2025/06/09/m...

Read Tom’s piece. Every word. It’s incredibly important.

Governor Newsom: "I have formally requested the Trump Administration rescind their unlawful deployment of troops ... and return them to my command. ... This is a serious breach of state sovereignty — inflaming tensions while pulling resources from where they’re actually needed." The letter:

I am fucking begging you all to wear a mask. It's not hard and it protects you and others. abc7.com/post/nb181-n...

www.cnn.com/2025/05/20/h... The plan is to restrict #Covid-19 boosters to those at least 65 or people with certain pre-existing conditions.

For 24 hours, @caringacross.org held a vigil with advocates & families that rely on Medicaid. Folks shared their stories & their fears if Republicans slash Medicaid and rip away healthcare from millions. Medicaid is a lifeline & we CANNOT let Republicans’ cruel bill become law.

Trump wants to distract you from the fact that he gutted the Aviation Safety Committee and ousted the FAA administrator last week. Don’t let him.

The video is too long for me to post here. But this is a link to Caroline Kennedy reading her letter to senators about her cousin Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. In a nutshell, she depicts him as an unqualified, deranged, drug-addled, corrupt, and lying sociopath. x.com/jbkschlossbe...

Just a reminder that there are real human beings, with families, who are having their financial and professional lives turned upside down tonight by the richest man in the world, who has a string of his own families he’s abandoned, and who was not elected to anything.
