Your eyes are not deceiving you. These are, in fact, masked ICE agents dragging a legal U.S. resident out of her car while she waits in a pickup line outside an elementary school.
CHICAGO — ICE abducts a woman picking up her kids yesterday at West Loop Elementary School.

Breaking: The US has spent $31-33 BILLION funding Israel's war in Gaza since October 2023. That's $43M/day. And what did we pay for? -Over 67,000 killed -an illegal blockade of aid -mass starvation -countless war crimes -the bombardment of hospitals

We should open public laundromats at city owned parks. Gym, pool, laundry combos would be very clutch and promote public good

Although it sounds intuitive, I don’t think a lot of people understand the extent to which higher ed institutions are incapable of (or have no interest) in serving students of color. Attendance & retention rates do not lie. They fail us, real bad. And they DON’T listen.

I have a lot of dreams. We all dream. We are products of dreams. I dream big because we deserve big. But dreaming can get isolating. I dream of the day where I get to dream without telling myself, “But who am I?”

With the announcement from Mayor Brandon Johnson that police will finally be removed from Chicago Public Schools, here’s over 50 articles about why our schools should be #PoliceFreeSchools #CopsOutOfCPS
A researched thread on why police should NOT be in our schools, anywhere in America. Police in schools harm Black & Brown kids & students with disabilities. So don’t come with your antecdotal story about how Officer ___ is so nice at your school... Research not anecdotes.

We are a society that keeps trying to solve homelessness with everything other than homes. It’s like believing that food doesn’t solve hunger.
