One of the most depressing things to come to terms with when dealing with family members fully taken over by the MAGA cult is that they will kill you in order to maintain their comfort.

I shouldn't argue with random cowardly faceless accounts on the internet. The more y'all run cover for the DSA's obvious misstep in pushing people to vote for Graham Platner the less trustworthy the org becomes. Push for the DSA to acknowledge their error, then maybe you'll be taken seriously.

Because @redsqurrl.bsky.social is too much of a coward to have his quote posts on his account: you should really read your own chapters' voter guides before talking out of your own ass. The Maine DSA chapter literally endorsed Platner in their voter guide. www.mainedsa.org/wp-content/u...

I Want You to Understand Chicago
Politics Chicago
2025-11-08

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.

Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again.

An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next.

Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st.

Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…

Ellis asks how many have been involved at any given time protecting the Broadview facility since the beginning of September. Byers says "the most we've had at any given time is probably 40 to 50."

@govpritzker.illinois.gov's calculus will be his downfall. Using his police force to protect ICE operations & brutalize peaceful protestors in Broadview, he thinks he can keep Trump from federalizing the National Guard & sending them into Chicago. He delays the inevitable & burns political capital.

Hot take: Republican propaganda about how government doesn’t work is so effective, it’s convinced leftists to do the work of persuading non-voters or potential voters to not participate in elections, which helps to get more Republicans elected.

‘We don’t take an oath to a king.’ As Trump threatens to expand National Guard deployments in cities across the U.S., this reminder from retired Army General Mark Milley is more important than ever. Critics say Trump’s actions are politically motivated and raise serious constitutional concerns.

🇺🇸 Christians: do not look away. This is what you voted for. This is what you wanted. The complete antithesis of what Jesus preached through his life, death, and resurrection. This will be the legacy of the United States & another dark stain on the Christian Church. A legacy of unmerciful hate.
