Operation Midway Blitz fallout still being felt in Chicago's Latino neighborhoods While federal immigration enforcement shrank when many agents left Chicago in November, the aftermath is affecting what people do every day in Little Village, Pilsen and the Southeast Side.

A key point is people feeling terrorized by going out at all. It's forcing them to re-think their day-to-day living routines. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT ICE WANTS. To Trump and MAGA, that key point is a WIN. Horrible as it is. We need to find a better narrative.

The civil war is already here. I didn’t believe it myself. Seemed like hyperbole. Now it’s reality.

Dear @democrats.org, I used to donate $1,000 to $3,000 per election cycle. No more. Now it’s $0 to the DNC until you change leadership. Not one leader — ALL of them … OUT.

Hypothesis: Dominant world powers view so-called Third World populations as expendable to diminish the perceived threat of Global Replacement based on readily available demographic data showing population growth vs. decline. Therefore, mass death in Asia, Subcontinent, and Africa is to be ignored.

There will be a truth and reconciliation committee. It will be run by Dems and moderate GOP. It will be useless.

Opinion | I’m a Conservative. My Disabled Son Needs Medicaid to Live.

Opinion piece in the NYT. She voted for cuts. Until she got screwed. Now she wonders why. I’m grappling with wanting to scream at her blindly selfish stupidity.
