@Squido555@Nomads4Pritzker Aside from the behavior the Illinois State Police directed at protesters, I’ve been impressed. That incident showed he either doesn’t have control over the state police or isn’t against Trump’s fascist behavior or both.
Hospitals that get bought out by private equity see a 13% increase in ER deaths. That's thousands of people a year who die needlessly so billionaire private equity bums can get even richer. It's time to take capitalism out of healthcare.
Remember when that Border Patrol agent pulled a gun on unarmed civilians… twice… in Evanston, IL, just outside Chicago?
Well, now we have the footage… and we finally know what “provoked” him.
You can clearly hear a woman say, “She is a citizen of the United States!”
Another agent warns him that people are filming behind him. The agent turns, looks directly at the camera, and says, “Get back or I’ll shoot you.”
The man filming, in shock, replies, “You’re going to what?!”
And that’s when the agent actually pulls out his gun and points it straight at an unarmed man who’s just holding a phone.
All because they were… filming.
So, when Border Patrol claims this was “by the book,” just remember: their book apparently says you can point a gun at an unarmed citizen for daring to exercise their first amendment right to film you.
🚨 BREAKING: The woman ICE targeted and detained, without a warrant, at Chicago’s Rayito de Sol Spanish Immersion Early Learning Center has legal documentation.
Confirmed today by @RepMikeQuigley and @RepDeliaRamirez at a press conference.
Rep. Quigley says:
They’re supposed to be going after the worst of the worst. If what’s left of the “worst of the worst” is a woman with papers… teaching at a daycare… then everything they say comes into question.
After ICE agents raided a Chicago day care Wednesday morning and arrested a teacher that has citizenship documents, Alderperson Andre Vasquez says the city doesn't have time to wait for elections to fix the Trump administration's chaos and calls for Chicagoans to act now.
"We're all crossing our fingers and hoping for elections to change things, but we don't have that time right now ... If you're anybody here in the city of Chicago and you don't have a whistle around your neck and you're not out here doing school patrol, please find time to do so. We need everyone here."
Dems owe a debt to Zohran for leading the way on affordability and showing how insanely popular it is but establishment hacks like Pete can't even acknowledge he exists.
For all the Sturm und Drang about Mamdani’s city-run grocery stores, worth noting that Illinois has a pretty extensive program to get groceries in food deserts
Everyone being so shocked at how hard Zohran has been campaigning and it’s like… well ya, he’s 34 years old, this is what a normal campaign looks like when you run someone who isn’t a 1000 years old.
I refuse to turn away from this. This must not be normalized.
This is an organized domestic terrorist network beyond anything ever dreamed of by the Proud Boys or the KKK.
It’s institutionalized extrajudicial lynch mobs, and it must be defeated by any means necessary.
ICE violently detain father & son walking to school—teenage boy had to be rushed to hospital.
"I was just going to school," kid cries out. "I'm underage!"
The 16-year-old star athlete is a U.S. citizen—agents sent him to the hospital with severe injuries to his back & neck.
"For all those people saying this does not happen to U.S. citizens, have the courage to tell it to his face."
Arnoldo Bazan is a star football & soccer player at Alief Hastings High School in Houston, Texas. #DemsUnited
🚨🇮🇱🇺🇸 Kinda amazing that Israel has ethnically cleansed over half of Gaza and no one in our media mentions that Israel has ethnically cleansed over half of Gaza
Israel bombed Gaza so much that it will take decades just to clear the UNEXPLODED ones…meanwhile, Israel won’t allow the equipment to remove them.
And it’s barely even a story.
ICE point guns at 3 U.S. citizen children—brutally kick & punch mother in front of them.
6-Year-Old: "I saw snipers on the roof ready to shoot our cars."
8-Year-Old: " I saw soldiers and was so scared... I started shaking.
14-Year-Old: "They put a gun to my face. Then point the gun at my mom's head and said they were going to 'blow her head off.'"
After their mother was tackled —agents continued to kick her lying on the ground so hard they bruised her ribs and shoulder.
The joint FBI & ICE raid was allegedly looking for an illegal gambling operation in Wilder, Idaho. #DemsUnited
#NoKings is reporting 7 million people participating. If 7 million people took a 10 minute work break at the same moment across the country, the ruling class would lose about $5 billion. We could leverage real changes and we'd feel our power.
3 small children run to escape ICE raid in Idaho—manage to find family.
"I didn’t get caught," boy says. "Nobody got some handcuffs on me."
Dozens of minors were among hundreds detained—zip tied and separated from parents.
Agents chose to raid on "Family Night" at La Catedral Arena—a family oriented picnic including children as young as 5 years old.
At one point, a crowd of people looking for their loved ones surged forward, and agents fired rubber bullets at them.

On Tuesday early morning ICE raided houses on the Southeast side of Chicago! They broke windows out & used battering rams to get in the doors when needed! It literally looked like a bunch of wild animals hitting all the homes in the neighborhood! Most of these homes had children.
