Deadloch season 2 lets gooooooooo

Article excerpt from the Chicago Sun Times, reading: HEADLINE: After primary loss, Kat Abughazaleh moves to boost campaigns across Midwest SUBHEAD: Abughazaleh said Thursday that she will help campaigns "integrate mutual aid and direct action into their races," across the country, "especially in the Midwest." STORY: By Tina Sfondeles | Apr 2, 2026, 4:36pm CDT "Fresh off a second-place finish, progressive content creator and former congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh is scaling up her political network to help purple and progressive candidates in the Midwest - all while keeping her Rogers Park campaign office open as a mutual aid hub and community space."

Chicago Sun Times quote: Abughazaleh announced she will help campaigns "integrate mutual aid and direct action into their races," and she plans to help races across the country, "especially in the Midwest." Abughazaleh said she is working with partners to fund the project and plans to expand it to help other candidates. "But Kat, you lost your race. How could you even say that this model could win races?' Well I'm so glad you asked. We came in a very close second in a field of 15, beating out AIPAC and multiple established local politicians, and we did it with zero outside money," Abughazaleh said. "We brought in more first-time Gen Z donors than the DSCC [Democratic Senate Campaign Committee] the DCC [Democratic Congressional Committee], [Senate Minority Leader Chuck] Schumer, [House Minority Leader Hakeem] Jeffries and my next two primary opponents combined." Abughazaleh raised an astonishing $3.3 million in an anti-establishment primary race, which included avoiding newspaper and Democratic Party endorsements and using livestream events to solicit small-donor donations instead of begging big-time donors for cash. She also used that time to tell voters about her platform, which included universal health care, protections against price-gouging, more housing with federal incentives, climate action — and removing lead pipes. Abughazaleh said the campaign's framework for mutual aid - opening up her Rogers Park campaign office as a place for people to come for food, clothing and essential needs like baby formula — "was the No. 1 persuader to undecided voters."

Chicago Sun Times article excerpt reads: Part of her post-election plans also include increasing free community-focused events at the Rogers Park campaign office at 7016 N. Clark St. "By a long shot, people feel helpless and alone in the face of fascism, and the system is meant to make you feel that way. Authoritarians want you to feel paralyzed. They want you to keep doom scrolling. And instead, we came with a different offer," Abughazaleh said. "What if you join us for a park cleanup? What if you help us knit hats for people during a cold snap? What if you help us organize diapers for parents that need them?" Photos from campaign events showcased, from knitting mutual aid items to organizing with the Sunrise Movement to park cleanup days.

Defeatism? We don’t know her.

Our community support-based campaign model demonstrates a new model for politics and engaged a record number of young voters.

Now we’re not just going to keep doing that work. We’re helping campaigns across the country do the same.

Archbishop Timothy Broglio, who heads the Archdiocese for the Military Services, tells CBS News that a case can be made that the Iran war is unjustified. Broglio was asked during an interview to be aired on Easter Sunday on "Face the Nation" if the war was justified. "Under the just war theory, it is not," replied Broglio, who then evoked the specter of a threat of nuclear arms." "It's compensating for a threat before threat is actually realized," he said. "I would line myself up with Pope Leo, who has been urging for negotiation." "The Lord Jesus certainly brought a message of peace and also, I think war is always a last resort," Broglio added. "I'm not making a judgment about that, because I really don't know. But I do think that it's hard to cast this war, you know, as something that would be sponsored by the Lord."

Build child care centers.

Build health centers.

Build community centers.

Not data centers.

And not ICE detention centers.

Reaaaaaaally hard not to take it personally, centrists.

Hey shareholders.

How come you’re good with supporting human rights abuses from technofacists but not providing folks with universal housing, healthcare, and disability justice?

Accountability brings consequences.

And consequences are the only language corruption understands.

Money and political power do not outrank the Constitution.

They just need a wake up call and it’s coming at the midterms.👇

Spain invested heavily in clean energy over the last 6 years. Now, as gas prices rise, Spain has some of the lowest electricity costs on the continent.

In August 2025, Spain used zero coal — just 10 years ago it powered 25% of the country.

This is what energy independence actually looks like. 🌎

The Violence Was Never Random: What South Africa’s Xenophobia Crisis Teaches Us About the GOP’s 20-Year Project When a nation refuses to name the structural causes of suffering, someone else names the scapegoats instead.

I've carried a research paper in my briefcase for over a decade.

It studied why xenophobic violence killed 62 people in South Africa in 2008.

It took me this long to realize it wasn't about South Africa. It was about us.

Let’s stop softening the language. The pregnant detainees in the Texas ICE camp are children.
They are not “young women.” They are minors.
If pregnancies occurred while they were detained, every ICE officer must be investigated for child sexual assault.
These children must be freed.

Plan ahead. Make your signs, check local event times, look at a map online so you know where to park, consider deleting cell phone apps, wear sunscreen, a hat, take water, go early, be aware, careful, safe, & proud of yourself for being there!
