I'll remind you, while poverty is a crime, it is the poor who are the victims.
If you want to lower crime in Chicago, raise the minimum wage to a living wage, bring median housing costs down so they are no more than 25% of that wage at full time for a 1 bedroom and outlaw civilian access to any gun that doesn't require you to hand eject the last shell casing (bolt action).

Texas is a majority-minority state, yet Republicans drew maps that make white votes carry 2-3 times more political power than Black or Hispanic votes. That’s what gerrymandering does: it cracks and packs communities of color so their growing numbers translate into less representation.
On the bright side, I just saw 2 dragon flies share a flying fuck. I'm happy for them, may their eggs grow to eat many mosquitos.
The full weight of the Trump/WH legal/propaganda apparatus has been bearing down on this one day laborer and his family for months, all because Trump/Miller decided defying the law would thrill MAGA. No one should accept how the US government has treated this man. An absolute disgrace. 8/8
Now they're doing the very thing they always could have done rather than leave him in El Salvador: Attempt removal to a third country. This makes the ongoing prosecution of him now for trafficking look pretty suspect: Maybe they don't actually think that they can prove guilt? 7?

Great work. We need to find the people at the source of these phony plates and prosecute them.
This is so important… Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov 🧵
So let me make sure I understand this: Murder of over 15,000,000 people based on their ethnicity 1 equates to prosecution of a few hundred folks who attempted a coup 2 does not equate to mass murderer and starvation of 2,000,000 people based on their ethnicity www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Anyhow, while I'll vote for Democrats, they dug democracies grave when they decided they'd rather have rich people that support genocide than poor people who don't in their camp. #FuckAIPAC

90 years after Social Security was signed into law, Trump and MAGA Republicans think “America First” means coming for the benefits our seniors earned. (1/2)
It really bothers me that we're not talking about how the GOP cut DC's funding before invading.
