A fourth boat bombed in international waters. Total death toll now 19 What I dont get is, if these boats are "carrying fentanyl" as Trump says (they absolutely arent. Even the DEA says VZ doesnt produce fentanyl), then why not seize one and show us? www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

Phipps House, Hudson, Wisconsin, 1883.

This has to stop.

It's particularly the case among the Americans who are paid to decide which news is important, and who despite everything still can't bring themselves to accurately describe the fact that the president is serially murdering people and our systems are unable to stop him

Gothic Revival home in Hudson, Wisconsin, built ca. 1860.

So awesome! First open water swim in the Chicago River in a century! A huge environmental achievement.

Former courthouse, St. Croix County, Wisconsin. Built in 1900, William Towner, architect.

It's hard to believe this is a living creature.

He is deranged.

Reminder that Broadview is a "processing facility" and not a designated "detention center." They've got 150 human prisoners to a room in there with the windows boarded up and armed militia on the roof.

A woman protesting outside the ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois, was brutally assaulted by goons who used mace and sting balls on her.

If y’all don’t stop sending campaign texts about a single comedian and find some jobs for the 300,000 Black women who’ve lost them since the current administration took over…

HARDEST PHOTO OF 2025 JUST DROPPED

The sign on the ground really completes this incredible photo.

lots of electeds and political candidates here this morning. i see congressional candidates kat abughazaleh and (evanston mayor) daniel biss, lieutenant governor juliana stratton, and chicago alder andre vasquez:

federal agents are getting increasingly violent as the morning goes on and the crowd of protesters outside the broadview ice facility grows. i’ve seen multiple people pushed and thrown to the ground. dhs is now playing a dispersal order warning of arrests and the use of chemical munitions.

Afterwards, organizers went into immediate care mode. People passed out water and other products to wash out eyes. Others passed out paper towels and consoled those who were visibly impacted or upset. Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss was among those recovering from the tear gas. 🎥: The TRiiBE

JUST NOW — Our reporters are at the Broadview ICE facility (outside of Chicago) where protestors have been demonstrating since 5:00 a.m. As a cargo van left the facility, a federal agent on the roof started shooting what seems to be pepper balls at protestors just before 9:00 a.m. 🎥: The TRiiBE

tear gas and more pepper balls deployed outside the broadview ice facility. agents detained two more people. protesters were blocking the driveway so agents, including border patrol’s bortac team, violently pushed protesters and allowed one vehicle to leave and another to enter.

Tomorrow & Friday RFK Jr. & his ACIP team are going to try to convince YOU that the MMR, Covid, Hepatitis B & others should be rolled back or paid for out of YOUR own pocket (according to strong signalling from the health care lobby). PEOPLE WILL DIE. As an immune-compromised American I 🗣️ HELL NO!

TOMORROW!! 1930 Beach, Broadview, IL

@durbin.senate.gov and @duckworth.senate.gov have some explaining to do. This is outrageous.

This isn't even a slight exaggeration. He is actively working on destroying the US's entire vaccine infrastructure. The HepB vote will be tomorrow, where they will get rid of the birth dose and recommend it at 30 days, dooming a bunch of infants to chronic infection ft. cirrhosis, cancer, and death.

An idea whose time has arrived.

The Trump administration’s cruel immigration enforcement tactics are recklessly endangering all Illinoisians, including hardworking immigrants and US citizens. This isn't the nation I know or grew up in — know your rights, stand up, and speak out.
