6 of them against an innocent man standing on the street. We need to get these ghouls off our streets ASAP. Otherwise it’s going to be a really confusing Halloween.

Do not love that I’m now going “Wait, is that the same ICE tear-gassing I was reading about earlier or is this a new one?” Even less love for how often the answer actually is “it’s a new one”

The Sun-Times *is reporting these were live rounds* fired at a vehicle. There's been much confusion in the immediate aftermath of this about whether whether they were that or pepper balls, and whether person in vehicle was hit by them. This is the most current info we have *at this time.*

Without due process, this could be you. It could be me. It could be any or all of us. It doesn’t matter who you voted for. Or the color of your skin. You must understand what is truly at stake here. All tyranny needs to thrive is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

There's a reason we call MA drivers Massholes 😄

A monumental Supreme Court term begins Monday with major tests of presidential power on the agenda along with pivotal cases on voting and the rights of LGBTQ people.

It’s fun to be writing a book about the great work the Civil Rights Division did in the 1960s to eradicate decades of entrenched segregation, discrimination and violence and then read about how the Division today is busy fighting to protect the privileged from imaginary crimes.

DHS released a glossy ICE raid video straight out of an authoritarian playbook: helicopters over Chicago, 900 people swept up, children separated, citizens detained. They call it “Operation Midway Blitz.” I call it despicable state propaganda masking terrorist constitutional crimes.

Every ICE agent who assaulted this man should be arrested by Chicago PD and charged with attempted murder. @mayorofchicago.bsky.social, call a press conference and announce you will not stand by while your citizens are brutalized as punishment for peacefully exercising their right to free speech

They traded their humanity for the power to hurt and kill, like all Nazis The sooner people realize that, the sooner we will be able to deal with this properly

@govpritzker.illinois.gov 37 and Kedzie, East Garfield, Illinois. This is assault.

We've seen this before. May 4, 1970 - The Kent State Massacre

The below post is from CBS Chicago reporter Asal Rezaei yesterday. It comes one day after Chicago journalist Steve Held was detained while covering a protest outside the Broadview immigration facility. Absolutely inexcusable attack perpetrated by an ICE thug. He should be fired immediately! 😡

Yesterday at the ICE facility in Broadview outside of Chicago an ICE agent—essentially a sniper—shot the car of a CBS reporter with a pepper ball, which made her vomit for two hours. And ICE agents dressed in camo & combat gear are playing occupying force in downtown Chicago.

As protesters demonstrated outside the Broadview ICE facility near Chicago Friday, federal agents with a rifle mounted onto a sniper tripod lingered above them. Chicago City Council member Ald. Michael Rodriguez said the gun shows that Donald Trump's government views protesters as a "target."

NEW: Illinois Gov. Pritzker announced President Trump intends to federalize 300 state National Guard troops “in the coming hours" over objections from state and city leaders. We resolutely condemn this potential escalation. It's a power grab meant to intimidate and torment Chicago's communities.

Meanwhile, in Canada...

Sean Combs has just been sentenced to four years and two months in prison. Your turn, Epstein rapists. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Just when I thought I'd seen the worst MAGA video of the day, there's more. The deputy in this video is fortunate the neighborhood he was menacing allowed him to live.

Gives real "throw an alligator through a Wendy's drive-thru window" vibes. youtu.be/c2zsmXHAqg8

Remember how when Trump was booked he was shown every conceivable courtesy, so that nothing embarrassing would happen to him in public? Remind me why again? Did someone somewhere think he would return the favor? Is anyone that stupid?

No reason to believe this was anything but the premeditated murder of four fisherman in international waters: a war crime. Trump and his jackals destroy the evidence every time, and never release any intel, and have a history of committing and celebrating war crimes—so that must be the presumption.

Soooo much Hatch Act violation. And described as "elite-level high-school golfer". Gramps must be reeeeallly jealous she doesn't have to cheat her way around 18 holes, but no doubt he's claiming the golf ball doesn't fall far from the tree or something.

Holy hell. DHS just openly stated that its agents use “reasonable suspicion” to make ARRESTS. This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is clear that you need probable cause to arrest someone, as opposed to stop them to ask them a question or two. This is huge b/c…

Speaking for all physicians and healthcare providers here. When we see patients in need of care especially in an emergency room we do not leave them for dead. We do not care about their immigration status, we treat them because that is what we took an oath to do and is also basic human decency.

Sen. @ossoff.senate.gov on rural hospital closures: “We’re the wealthiest country in the world. Every community—rural, suburban, urban, Black, white, rich, poor—deserves world-class healthcare. That’s the bare minimum.”

"it is not clear"? My man, it is *illegal*. www.congress.gov/bill/116th-c... Law passed against it in 1866 & reinforced in 2020.

It actually gets worse, as the CBS article makes clear that Patel and Bongino are serially firing FBI agents until they find someone who's willing to perp walk Comey in kevlar

The mystery of medical diagnosis!

Every single thing Kristi Noem says or does, every word out of her mouth and every order she issues, reminds the world that this is a person who shot her dog because it was inconvenient. She won’t let anyone forget that this is the kind of person she is.

“The source told CBS News that [Kash Patel and Dan Bongino] asked for "large, beefy" agents to conduct an arrest of Comey "in full kit," including Kevlar vests and exterior wear emblazoned with the FBI logo.” The leadership of the FBI is now in the hands of infantile psychopaths.

A glacier-free Sierra Nevada is unprecedented. New evidence shows that glaciers in California’s Sierra Nevada disappearance would be the first in recorded geological time.

ICE agents arrest Alderperson Jessie L. Fuentes (26th Ward of Chicago city council) after she questions them on whether they have a signed judicial warrant to arrest a person at Humboldt Park Hospital. “He has Constitutional rights.” “No.” ICE’s exact mindset: no one is allowed any rights now.

Trump is defunding the police where he can so he can fill the void with his masked Gestapo. He did it in DC, and he tried it in New York but balked. Additionally, Pam Bondi is investigating the Portland police bureau because they arrested a right wing agitator. Pay attention.

In case anyone wants to ask Pritzker why State Troopers with batons and face shields were authorized to push around protesters at Broadview today: Springfield Office of the Governor Phone: 217-782-6830 or 217-782-6831 Chicago Office of the Governor Phone: 312-814-2121 or 312-814-2122

Ouccccccchahahaha....

When 13.6 million Americans lose their Medicaid and can only go to the emergency room because they have no other options to access healthcare, who’s paying for it? The American taxpayer.

Federal officer blasts chemical spray into vocal but nonviolent Portland protester, video shows The interaction illustrates how federal law enforcement officers do use aggressive tactics against protesters who yell and needle officers but don’t appear to present clear physical threats.

Trump aides discussed sending the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division to Portland!!! Trump needs a geography lesson. Oregon is an American state, not a province of Afghanistan.

Be safe out there when protesting, because these a**holes are acting like they'll never have repercussions for the damages & torture they inflict. www.threads.com/@cierras.jou...

I think we should do Trump-is-dead speculation every time we get a clean chance, it’s clearly great for team morale. If you’re not into it, I dunno, post cat pics or something and enjoy the downstream benefits of other people being in a good mood

Every legal story now is either Ancient Circuit Judge Delivers Crystal Clear 100 Page Rebuke To Trumpist Overreach or In Unsigned Shadow Docket Decision, 6-3 Majority Declares Trump Can Hunt People For Sport

Uhm, healthcare, for a start.

Didn't they stop watching the NFL after Kaep. And the "End Racism" end zones. And countless other things that butthurt these morons? They want an act that's "American," yet they can't stop crying when Taylor Swift is shown on TV. NOT EVERYTHING HAS TO BE SPECIFICALLY FOR YOU. Piss off.

To the the point Gerry Conway created and pushed this initiative for BLM to atke the symbol away from them: www.customink.com/fundraising/...

“He takes food and health care from the neediest and tries to, in his words, traumatize people—then he calls himself a Christian,” (Russell Vought's) neighbor said. "Pretty despicable."

Today, more than1,000 former DOJ officials who served in both Republican & Democratic administrations released a letter condemning the unprecedented, politically motivated indictment of former FBI Director James Comey. medium.com/@DOJ.Alumni/...

Content creation is extremely concerning partially in how it relates to teens, the majority of which have been exposed to graphic violence through social media. Effects include: increased aggression, normalization of aggression, reduced empathy, imitation, depression, anxiety, etc.
