Thank you for expressing this. It’s easy to feel helpless but as we connect and share with our neighbors and continue to see beauty around us we can build a better community

Good morning ☕
Oh look, it’s another Market Manipulation Monday
#nokings protest organized by HS kids. First one in this Chicago suburb
NW of Chicago
Going to see it with the teen grandson this week. Happy to have a film we can both enjoy
We are a couple of boomers in the far NW area of the district, never saw a mailer or doorknocker but still you reached us. We voted for you and hope to see your name on the ballot again.

There are reports of ICE activity on the north side of Chicago happening now.
Please share so people in the area can be aware and take precautions.
If you’re in the area please come by our office at 7016 N Clark St for ICE whistles.
We protect each other. Chinga la migra.
Too late. There is nothing Target sells that I can’t purchase somewhere else for about the same price, so this is an easy choice.
(I realize that’s not the same for those outside of a metropolitan area)
lol O’Hare has it all!!
Now that the Board of Peace has a war under its belt it can really get down to business.
Stop calling the department of defense by the fake tough unofficial name the fake tough babies gave it. By statute & still by statute, it’s the department of defense. Stop accepting this juvenile garbage masquerading as accomplishments. Be an adult. Demand our officials be adults
That’s a lot of cat! Glad he’s healthy.
Thank you for standing up for what’s right
Amen
So sorry MC. Sending you good vibes for your recovery
Thank you for your candor and bravery. You are an inspiration. I am an old lady and I can’t contribute in the way you do but I do look out for my neighbors and teach my grandchildren to do the same.
My Orangy male 12 y/o is on special food since his surgery last year. Regular check ups show it’s working.
Sending good wishes for Mean Cat
ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.
If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.
I hold every Republican in office responsible for the murders in Minneapolis. And every Democrat that doesn’t loudly speak out and join protests complicit
I hold Donald J Trump accountable for the murder of a man in Minneapolis today. This deadly ICE operation is his responsibility. Sending violent, untrained agents to Minnesota by the thousands was his decision to abuse the leaders and people of Minnesota, not conduct lawful deportation operations.
White hot rage
In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.
Chaos is happening in many states, people are protesting and getting shot and murdered and unlawfully detained and tortured. If you haven’t had to deal with this yet, you will. These thugs are trying to forcibly change America to a fascist country. Do we really want that? I do not!
It's bizarre that some politicians are trying to behave as if the US president were sane, or capable of reason or moral judgement.
The entire world is trying to figure out how it can avoid dealing with the United States. Trump and the Republicans have turned us into a pariah state. China and Russia are loving it.
I’ve started using the term “ethnic cleansing campaign” to describe the ICE occupation here in Minnesota. This is deliberate because the reality on the ground is that, at a given moment, any non-white person can be kidnapped by masked federal paramilitaries regardless of their constitutional rights.
ICE keeps saying the people protesting it are being paid without any evidence, but we have receipts showing that the people *defending* ICE are absolutely being paid.
And yet we only hear lies about the former on cable news.
We’re all not outraged enough that another federal agent shot another person.
