Also fuck you Texas for doing this, invading another state with armed troops; lone star Republic my ass

I dunno, feels like they really want more people to show up in Broadview on Friday, huh?

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened. This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

This very very very bad. I cannot stress this enough. I said that they crossed the Rubicon with arresting Ras Baraka several months ago. This is very bad and portends more bad things for regular people.

I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

This is why, despite frustrations, I do think that Johnson (especially) and Pritzker are genuinely showing courage. Details from Reuters, which explicitly makes the link to the prosecution of Comey: www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Specifically she was asked if she possesses pictures of Trump with undressed teens and she refused to say no

A car was honking nonstop outside in the alley and woke me up this morning. Thought it might be an 🧊 warning but it was just a neighbor being an asshole.

I’m not body shaming but I’m also honest this Texas boy is gonna roll through Portillo’s once and switch allegiances

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

Protest tomorrow in downtown Chicago

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

Stephen froze like a deer in the headlights and pretended to have connection issues because he unintentionally gave away the game plan. “Plenary authority is complete, absolute power over a specific area or issue, with no significant limitations." Show people this clip. This is an insane slip up.

I wrote about Weiss' hypocrisy when it came to @elivalley.bsky.social back in 2019. I think it really says a lot about how little integrity she has. www.mediamatters.org/new-york-tim...

Just in case someone missed this detail: Wells Fargo used the ICE orks to clear out a building of lawful residents to make a buck Again, a military terror purge was carried out with naked children in handcuffs for the benefit of Wells Fargo execs A corrupt corp that will bleat at any reciprocity

Actually, it really matters whether your electeds are progressive. We are often frustrated on the left at what electeds can deliver, but we have to remember moments like this. Paul Vallas would NOT have created ICE free zones.

Just as a reminder, Bondi’s origin story in Trump world is that she said she was going to investigate Trump University, Trump sent her a $25K check and the investigation disappeared. She later became Trump’s personal defense lawyer. So yeah, don’t challenge her integrity.

Probably pretty accurate!

Heather Honey, a high-profile denier of Donald Trump’s loss in the 2020 election, was appointed to a senior DHS position in which she’ll help oversee election security. “DHS now appears poised to become a primary amplifier of false election conspiracies pushed by our enemies,” one expert said.

When drivers complain about bad cyclists, I know they just mean they don't want us on the roads.

Imagine that

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

NEW: In the weeks leading up to a massive ICE raid at a South Shore apartment building, neighbors saw drones surveilling the area, and teachers at a nearby school regularly saw agents in the neighborhood. ✍️ Jose Abonce for the Weekly and Maira Khwaja for @invisible.institute

shut the fuck up you asshole

Mainstream media truly in a race to the bottom.

Don’t mind me, neighbor on our shared back deck. I’m just doing my daily 15 minutes of morning stretches so I can feel normal.

New to me bird at Montrose Point today: the northern waterthrush (photo from the Merlin app)

Judge Diane Goodstein crossed the Trump administration last month. Yesterday, her home burned, her husband was injured and it's being investigated for arson. www.postandcourier.com/news/crime/s...

Harmeet Dhillon (DOJ) publicly targeted this judge on Twitter a couple weeks ago.

At the lake—it’s really windy and choppy. Saw a Coast Guard boat helping a small motorboat apparently in distress.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram. Community action works. Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DPZL2AL...

I said what I said: Kristi Noem should be tried at The Hague for crimes against humanity.

A single image by the Sun-Times photographer Anthony Vazquez encapsulates our present moment: a masked soldier in the hatch of an armored military vehicle with blacked-out windows aims his gun at unarmed citizens filming with their cellphones. chicago.suntimes.com/news/2025/10...

Statement on Abuse of Power of ICE and Other Federal Agents in Chicago

This from @govpritzker.illinois.gov on @cnn.com

This weekend’s ICE activity has confused and set every Chicagoan on edge. Like everyone, I'm working to figure out what sources I can trust in this moment. (apologies to @peternickeas.bsky.social for appropriating his photo)

so i don’t think this should be a hot take but for the record i think the chances republicans give up power without some level of violence - a mini jan 6 at best - is basically nil.

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

Quite the contrast between the Chicago police officers, who are in their regular uniforms (not riot gear) and the federal agents, who are armed, helmeted and masked

CPD just relieved feds from this line too. Then a moment later the feds gassed the whole area, including the cops.

Happening now: at Kedzie and 40th, where Border Patrol agents just opened fire on rapid response this afternoon. A woman CFD says they found after the incident is reported in fair condition. A growing number of outraged neighbors have gathered across from ICE/CBP agents who have closed Kedzie.

And it will continue to escalate.

Guess what, a lot of Americans can’t pay their ER bills either

People are being tear-gassed and abducted off the street and some people are still out here like “obstructing traffic is illegal!”

This kind of misogyny and sense of entitlement starts early and the fact that no one involved did anything about the clear red flags is disturbing www.nytimes.com/2025/10/03/n...

10:38 pm and I’m still hearing helicopters over Albany Park/Irving Park.

They talk of dangerous criminals? Arresting elected officials, arresting citizens, throwing smoke bombs out car windows, Blackhawk helicopters, trashing apartments of citizens, arresting reporters, leaving children without parents: THIS is domestic terrorism. blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/03/f...

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy
