I just contributed with @theactionnetwork.bsky.social: Monthly Gift's for 350 Chicago. Contribute here: actionnetwork.org/fundraising/...

Deliberately crashing the American economy—costing American families well over $5,000 each—and then promising to pay those families back $5,000 but *only if* they keep letting him abuse them and the country for two more years... ...is some *seriously* dark, domestic-abuser shit.

The argument, always, is not over whether rape happens. Everyone knows that it happens all the time. The argument is over whether rape is morally serious. A lot of people do not think that it is, and they would be more honest if they said so.

There's been so much misogyny embedded in defenses and celebrations of Platner, and now we're seeing that ugliness hit its pointless, embarrassing climax, as some liberal men publicly argue that credible rape allegations should be shrugged off.

Some people are putting it all on the line.

Our story @chicagotribune.com: Chicago teen Ofelia Torres, whose father was detained by ICE while she fought cancer, dies. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/02/14/c...

Otay Mesa "Detention Center" (prison camp) in San Diego, CA: lataco.com/captive-loti...

Abolishing ICE is not enough.

Nasra Ahmed, a 23-year-old US citizen, was arrested and detained by ICE. She was held for TWO DAYS. ICE agents handcuffed her, called her a racial slur, and she was knocked to the ground so hard she got a concussion. This cannot continue happening. ICE needs to leave.

If only they had had time for the "don't kidnap 5-year-olds and send them to detention centers 1000 miles away from their families" training module

My statement on funding DHS: The proposed Appropriations bill for the Department of Homeland Security released today puts no meaningful constraints on the growing lawlessness of ICE, and increases funding for detention over the last Appropriations bill passed in 2024.

Democrats have no obligation to support a bill that not only funds the dystopian scenes we are seeing in Minneapolis but will allow DHS to replicate that playbook of brutality in cities all over this country.

He goes on to describe one of his officers being stopped when she was off-duty solely because she's non-white, harassed by ICE goons who slapped her phone out of her hand as she tried to record, only to be let go when she finally revealed she was a cop.

I’ve been writing Popular Information for 8 years, and this is one of the most important stories I’ve ever published. This is a humanitarian crisis that has gone unreported.

What worries me with ice is that the public has no way of knowing if they are really ice. They have unmarked vehicles, wear masks, show no warrants or legal paperwork, no identification, and appear very unprofessional and violent. Anyone could be impersonating ice to terrorize our communities.

Sooner or later, someone is going to respond to one of these ICE goons by returning the violence and it's not going to end well -- not for the goon, not for the victim, not for any of us.

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

Thanks to everyone for always keeping those cameras rolling and sharing the videos online. Federal immigration officers in the Chicago area will now be required to wear body cameras, following a ruling by U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis.

would love to know where vought got the authority to shutdown a government agency established by statute

Join us in PEACEFUL protest this weekend! We look forward to joining our voices with the community and shout THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE!

You know they’re worried about this weekend’s turnout at the No Kings rally when they’re already making comments about it. Who’s ready for Saturday?

You can just share my video from me instead of sharing a screen recording of my video from a content farm account that isn’t on the scene btw.

This needs to be a historically large event. We hope to see you!

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

I’m on the ground at a prayer vigil near the Broadview ICE facility outside Chicago.

ICE is absolutely out of control in Chicago.

None of us should feel exempt or invulnerable, because if they can do this to our neighbors, they can come for us, too. That said, those of us who are not presently among those being targeted should not focus on our own fear and vulnerability. We should support those in the immediate path of harm.

They can call it whatever they want, but by setting up a "Unified Command" to handle crowd control at Broadview, the Cook County Sheriffs and the Illinois State Police are performing security work for ICE—something that is not supposed to happen in this state.

The crowd is taking a knee in the street outside of the Broadview Detention Center with their fists up to honor Silverio Villegas-Gonzáles, the man ICE killed last week, victims of police violence, and the people being killed in Palestine.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

Credit to @robertgarcia.bsky.social for forcing the subpoena of the Epstein book and releasing it to the public, and for keeping the pressure on in the media too. Every single Democrat in Congress should be this aggressive with this administration.

The streets of Chicago are full with tens of thousands of people standing up to ICE and Trump. Join us.

Again, they say these troops are there to make the people of the city feel safe

the right is genuinely so afraid of zohran mamdani it’s quite astounding to witness them openly bribe in such a pathetic way

National Guardsmen now stationed outside our DC building confirmed that the only thing they can do if they witness a crime is call 911. The have no more authority than my office mate to intervene. Despite the handcuffs, they can't make arrests. They are very expensive mall cops.

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
