Gov. Pritzker: "[ICE is] just picking up people who are brown and black and then checking their credentials. I don't know about you, but I don't carry around papers that say I'm a U.S. citizen. So U.S. citizens are getting detained and arrested."

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. trib.al/9Sxu9IN

Facts

Ah, yes. Tories' popularity is flagging, so why not ask one of Australia's most hilariously unpopular PMs for advice? Tony Abbott's plan for undocumented migrants? "Hold them in some kind of a mothership" and invade a neighbouring country "on a quiet and moonless night". Clown.

I agree that the EU needs to shake Orban out of the EU.

Black people in Chicago had their apartment building raided in the middle of the night, were detained for hours, and had their Fourth Amendment rights violated during an ICE operation that had nothing to do with them. Nah, they are not thrilled.

We can’t out-Republican Republicans, nor should we want to. Democrats need to say what they believe — and actually believe in something. @mehdirhasan.bsky.social

Thank you Chicago restaurants for standing up against fascist ICE and pedophile fascist trump! 💪💪💪💙

This guy sounds like a fucking lunatic.

Reform UK promised to slash “wasteful spending” - now they’re raising taxes. Looks like Reform UK are learning council budgets aren't as wasteful as they thought... https://www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/article/reform-uk-council-tax-kent-news-rf05q0bqm

I’m tired of him and he’s not even my president.

Same.

Two words gained from Bluesky this morning: souffre-douleur (m; French): scapegoat Mitschuld (f; German): complicity, shared guilt.

No one is covering the GOP's scheme to rig congressional maps for 2026 as closely as Democracy Docket. It is providing gavel to gavel coverage of the ongoing hearing over whether the Texas gerrymander will be in place for the midterms. Support its work by subscribing now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

What an absolute crayon muncher. "Masculine Christianity"

That a good start,

Tories and Reform want to quit the European Convention on Human Rights. Since 1980, the ECHR court has heard 29 cases of immigrant deportation. UK won 16. No defeats in the last 5 yrs. Quitting ECHR won't fix illegal immigration, will destroy our freedoms and rights. archive.ph/eMg3O

This. Is. Brilliant.

🚨NEW: Actor Richard #Gere on Donald #Trump: “We have a president who’s not only crazy, he’s a dark presence. And it’s happened so quickly. Six months, he’s almost destroyed our country” by @disavowtrump20.bsky.social RETWEET if you stand with Gere against Trump!

Judge Immergut has issued her written TRO prohibiting the Trump administration from relocating or deploying federalized national guard troops to Oregon. Here it is:

Bonta: Just minutes before the hearing, we got word that the Texas National Guard has been federalized. We asked the judge to issue a broad order — one that applies to every National Guard unit in every state — stating that none of them can be deployed to Oregon. She issued that order

Chicago priest Father Michael Pfleger: "The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president and his admin's reign of terror." ( ht: @mikenellis.bsky.social )

THINK on this. #Pinks 🌸

I realise that there are lots of erudite and entirely correct reasons against leaving the ECHR, but surely the main one to be repeated ad nauseam is "from the people who told you Brexit would solve all of your problems - how did that work out for you?"

important for us in the US to note: even a solidly right wing government can't ignore this.

Miller has Fascist Hissy #3 today after another court ruling. This one from a judge appointed by radical left marxist Donald J Trump.

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

i just can’t get over ICE going into the streets of the city i live in, throwing gas at citizens, invading people who live here. this is state sponsored terrorism being enacted on americans

"Anti-Semitism and Islamophobia are two sides of the same coin." @natashadevon.bsky.social thinks anyone ‘with a functioning heart’ should feel compassion towards each life lost in the Israel Gaza war.

Especially awful that it sort-of happened already (if you define a major pandemic as one of those global bad moments). If SARS-CoV-2 had emerged just a year later, his term would have been over by the time people realized they'd have to shut things down.

NEW: Missourians are mobilizing to give voters a chance to block the state’s new Trump-ordered GOP gerrymander, via ballot measure. But Republican officials are pulling out all the stops to stymie the effort. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/gop...

If you wonder how bad the Epstein Files are for Donald, he had the federal government shut down so you wouldn't find out.

AOC is a great example of American leadership and public service. In this short TikTok video she gives a tour of the Senate building, because the government is shut down and there's no one else to give one. WATCH: #Resist

Gender affirming care

That’s exactly what ICE is doing.

When are local prosecutors charging these goons with assault?

Kristi Noem blatantly states no one without US citizenship may attend the Super Bowl. Killing our tourism when she can’t find a dog.
