The current Soldier Field opened in 2003 and in 2025 taxpayers still owed $534 million in bond debt, $52 million paid by the city since 2022. The McCaskey's greed is the only issue, demanding yet more public loss to subsidize their profit. www.nbcchicago.com/investigatio...

Taxpayers Still Owe $640M on 2002 Soldier Field Renovation
Documents obtained by NBC 5 Investigates show taxpayers are on the hook for $640 million for the renovation of Soldier Field, twenty years later.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Melania Trump [with mid-morning energy, her hair and makeup flawless]: I can’t believe it is the night of the inauguration, and I have been awake and out in public for 22 hours.

Brett Ratner [off-screen]: It would be so weird if we were filming this two weeks after the inauguration and only pretending like it was still the same night, wouldn’t it? Luckily, that’s not what’s happening! Not even a little bit!

[The camera zooms in on a calendar showing a date exactly two weeks after the inauguration. Melania steps in front of it.]

Melania: That calendar is wrong.

If you’d like to tangibly help Minnesota, let’s spread the word and donate where we can. This is FAR more impactful than doomscrolling or angry posting fueling someone else’s doomscrolling. No act of resistance is too small or insignificant.

Hung a guy at Nuremburg for doing this, FYI. Not "a thing like this" but literally this, exactly.

This is so deeply at odds with the vision and history of America. Take pretty much any ethnic or racial group that are part of the American mosaic America today - they have all faced the same accusation. The moment these accusations are turned into policy are some of the most shameful in US history

Access to the sacraments is the tip of the iceberg. They won't allow clergy access bc they aren't running a proper detention facility. The scandal that religious protests are highlighting is not that the detainees' religious rights are being violated, but that ALL their rights are being violated.

ICE has threatened a “sh*t show” in Broadview today, per a village statement. “ICE is seeking to intimidate the Village of Broadview because we dared exercise our 1st Amendment constitutional rights calling for an end to their war on Broadview. We will not be intimidated. We are Broadview strong.”
The following statement ICE Action can be attributed to the Village of Broadview:

“In retaliation for the Village of Broadview yesterday calling on the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency to “stop making war on our community”, ICE agents this morning informed the Broadview Police Department that there will be “a sh*t show” in Broadview today.

ICE agents told the BFD that they will be launching enforcement action throughout all of Broadview throughout the day. Additionally, ICE informed BPD officials that ICE agents will be again deploying chemical arms, such as tear gas, pepper spray, etc. against American citizens, our residents, and our first responders.

Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson is urging Broadview residents to take all necessary precautions to protect themselves and their families in order to stay out of harm’s way.

Let’s be clear.

ICE is seeking to intimidate the Village of Broadview because we dared exercise our 1st Amendment constitutional rights calling for an end to their war on Broadview. We will not be intimidated. We are Broadview strong.”

Here’s a brief story, with receipts about Trump administration corruption and crypto industry collusion that WILL be investigated once the majority of the House is filled with people who take ethics and the Constitution seriously:

What he's announcing is a concentration camp. A deeply illegal, unconstitutional, anti-human rights atrocity. Anyone who supports this is complicit. Anyone in any federal service, military or otherwise, is morally obligated to refuse to carry out any orders related to this deeply criminal act.

In March I saw a truly exciting performance of Handel's Messiah—it did many things I hadn't seen before, but its chief innovation was to take the libretto seriously. I talked with its conductor, the brilliant John Trotter, and our conversation is now here for you: comment.org/the-messiah-...
