Proud Boys associate, Ben Bergquam, is embedded with DHS agents today and was spotted during an abduction in Wheaton, Illinois.
Ben Bergquam is seen filming himself with his phone like an idiot. A cowardly masked DHS agent is behind him abducting someone who will be sent to a concentration camp for migrants somewhere in the U.S.

Harvard faculty, staff and students held a silent standout today to highlight pervasive anti-Arab, anti-Muslim bias, which has prompted over 500 discrimination complaints to be filed in the past year.

People, armed only with whistle & conscience, are putting our bodies where our beliefs are not because someone told us about egg prices (we shop, we know) but because of moral imperative to stop evil.

🧊 ICE is going after sick or injured patients in Chicago hospitals! 🏥 We need a model citywide policy to protect patients, families, and staff from harassment or unlawful detention + rebuild public trust in our health institutions as safe havens FOR ALL. Read Dr Claudia Fegan & Dr Linda Murray ⤵️

Chicago is choosing justice over fear, as it has in the past
In 1850, the federal government deputized local officials to enforce slavery. In 2025, it demands cooperation in deportation. Chicago resisted nearly two centuries ago, and it still is today.

Americans across races, backgrounds, and parties value our freedoms. But this MAGA regime of the bullies for the billionaires unleashed military & police on American families & turned our government into a weapon against our people.

Free America from wages we can't live on & rent we can't pay. Free America from this regime of the bullies, for the billionaires, by the bribes. Free America from the hate they peddle to divide us. Free America from the abductions, tearing apart families.

Corporate health insurance is a scam. Instead of cutting hundreds of billions of dollars from Medicaid, Congress should tackle a *real* source of waste: the so-called “Medicare Advantage” program. Take action: pnhp.org/SaveMedicaid

Home care worker from Central IL Jenny: Our nation’s veterans rely on Medicaid health care when their VA doesn’t cover it. I know how devastating cuts to home services would be. Loss of food and transportation. Voters want to see Medicaid protected not cut. Darin LaHood needs to hear our voices.

My new deep dive on how Trump “won” the popular vote. I put “won” in quotes because it wasn’t his win, but Harris’s loss. The results were not a “swing right” embracing Trump/MAGA, but a vote of no confidence in Democrats (and in our system as a whole). www.weekendreading.net/p/how-trump-...
