The President is lying about Social Security as an excuse to gut Social Security after promising not to touch it. Why? To pave the way for more tax cuts for the rich.

Trump's repeated attacks on "DEI," "wokeness," and the trans community have one clear purpose: If we are angry at each other, we won't look up to see how big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

"Woke" comes from a 1930s Leadbelly song about the Scottsboro boys. Woke meant to keep your eyes open and not trust people (not to end up like the boys). faroutmagazine.co.uk/blues-guitar...

Word is spreading about the 24-hour economic blackout planned for Feb. 28. One Chicago biz owner believes the responsibility to uplift smaller businesses shouldn’t only fall on the consumers. Pro-DEI companies should invest directly into local biz. thetriibe.com/2025/02/nati...

I cant believe this. Yes we can download the WHO’s recipe but when it comes to distribution of these vaccines, a multitude of factors like government recommendations and clinical guidelines determine what insurance will cover. If RFK Jr. decides pseudoscience should reign, what happens?

President Trump is now threatening to punish immigrants as young as 14 years old with criminal penalties, including jail time, if they fail to sign up for a government registry. Our loved ones and neighbors deserve dignity and an earned path to citizenship — not the threat of a police state.

Some Chicago organizers have been patrolling vulnerable immigrant communities in shifts, making sure their rights aren’t being violated. This action falls in line with an ongoing mantra heard aloud at protests: “we keep each other safe.” thetriibe.com/2025/01/amid...

The little girl in this photo? Ruby Bridges? The first Black child to integrate the schools in New Orleans? The inspiration for Norman Rockwell’s painting? She has a podcast on Spotify. She’s younger than my MAMA. She’ll probably be at Mardi Gras again this year. So miss me with the nostalgia.
