@Chris_H_Politic @StatisticUrban agreed. 2020 was a perfect storm of bad timing for Ashford’s endorsement. Even if Eastman lost big in 2022, at least then the republican could’ve been picked off easier in ‘24

[Michael @michaelm6868]

@StatisticUrban 100% but I feel the reason Bacon became entrenched post-2020 is as much Ashford’s fault as hers. She’d still underperform, but having the recent incumbent of your own party endorse against you drastically damages by how much

This is a hard article to read, but I hope you'll do so. I've spent some time reporting on widespread rape and other sexual violence of Palestinian male and female prisoners by Israeli authorities, and the article is now published. The assault victims were warned not to give speak of what they endured -- they were sometimes told they would be killed or raped if they gave interviews -- but they found the courage to do so. One man described being raped three times in a single day in Israeli prison, the third time after he tried to protest. A young woman said the guards would come in at the beginning of each shift and strip her naked and abuse her. Another reported that she was shown photos of herself being raped and warned they would be released unless she cooperated with Israeli intelligence. Even three children who had been detained told me they had been sexually abused. Look, whatever our position on the Middle East, we should be able to agree on being anti-rape. Sexual assaults were horrific when Israeli women were targeted on Oct. 7, and they're equally horrific when Israeli authorities use them against Palestinians day after day after day. We should be able to find common ground in opposing rape. Here's a gift link to the article: https://t.co/aMMHId49OO

@raynefq @aemondscumrag @jessidebergerac 100%! it feels like everyone’s somehow adamant to cast each other as villains while still advocating for mostly the same solutions, just different framing (i.e. increased social services & addiction/mental health/housing resources)

Did you know Chicago was home to the 1st All Black Labor Union? The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters

The 1st pic is our National Historical Park, & the Pullman area is famous for its preserved architecture + its role in the 1894 labor strike. #BHM

Fuck it the final scene in All That Jazz (1979)

In Trump’s America, if you record a protest, post a meme, or publish an article the regime doesn’t like, you can be woken up in the middle of the night—your kids asleep in their beds—and find this at your front door.

If you’re not treating this like a five-alarm fire right now, it won’t stop here.

In time, they will come for you, too.

Keith Porter’s murder wasn’t captured on camera, so it’s allowing ICE to sweep it under the rug, but we need to keep talking about him just as much as we talk about Renee Good and Alex Pretti. None of us are safe from this campaign of state violence.

[Michael @michaelm6868]

@PritzkerForPrez yes. convict on state laws. charge with felony murder. all of them. they must be reminded they put all of their names on a list too when they joined this gang

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

@lambdanthony @sn0oozey i’m a northsider, so i feel like some variation of wicker park, logan square, or andersonville is ideal for speed blitzing out of a lil neurosis. with lincoln square being like a tranquil refuge for some slow & steady recuperating

@PritzkerForPrez Big boy = big aura. It’s basic algebra

[Michael @michaelm6868]

@BuildingChi Agreed. Honestly, just emailing your alderperson “thank you” after they back a project goes a long way reinforcing future confidence in supporting future density.

[Michael @michaelm6868]

@BuildingChi Found the build permit. Honestly astounded they’re tearing all this down for a single SFH

@JoseManrique93 looks like cook county just counted a new batch of votes pushing harris to 70% countywide. hopefully it’ll make these swings look less awful
