Texas loaded busses with desperate migrants and dropped them off in Chicago like trash in the middle of winter. We welcomed them into our communities. Now Texas is sending its National Guard to terrorize them on our streets. In our neighborhoods. What the fuck.

It's being reported that the Pentagon is authorizing military lawyers to serve as immigration judges. This is a threat to the Constitution. Don't say we didn't warn you. From the archives:

Trump plan to redevelop Gaza into a series of luxury resorts is slated to contain up to six “AI powered smart cities”, according to the “prospectus” reviewed by the Post. The plan assumes the “voluntary” departure of all now living in Gaza. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

If a doc writes a script for the vax because of prior conditions will that get insurance coverage? I understand no one wants to pay for a doc visit but hope GPs would do the right thing and do it without a visit

We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.

Our Walgreens near me in Chicago does not have the updated covid vax in yet, unknown when they will get it. I do not believe it has been ok’d by the government. Meanwhile, Covid rates are increasing and I keep reading health officials are advising those who want/need the vax to get it now 🤦♀️

J.B. Pritzker got it exactly right, Donald Trump is sending the military to blue cities because he wants to undermine free and fair elections in 2026. Trump believes that military deployments in blue cities is his path to keeping power and Republican victory.

And yet the feds control all law enforcement in DC so this will never be investigated. Only a civil suit from the victim will possibly bring him any justice but the perpetrators will go unpunished
