In Minneapolis in 2008 a group that was planning peaceful demonstrations against the RNC convention were raided and booked then held until the RNC was over. The charge: they had materials for making molotov cocktails. Glass bottles in the recycling bin.

This is a declaration they will use federal resources to deploy violence against judges, prosecutors, and attorneys general. There's no other coherent interpretation of the phrasing, including "only remedy," "legitimate state power," and connecting those people with "terror networks."

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.

“It was a glimpse into our new reality created by the Court’s decision in Noem v. Vasquez Perdomo…Justice Kavanaugh wrote that federal immigration officers can stop and briefly detain anyone they have ‘reasonable suspicion’ to believe is in the country unlawfully.” open.substack.com/pub/saltypol...

If respecting law enforcement is so important to the Kristallancht GOP they should hang this plaque.

If you're Army and know anything about the plans to deploy the 82nd airborne to Portland, text me securely via Signal at 202-510-1268

And this is just a small sample of the scams and the grift!

Our poor Founding Fathers never dreamt a team of White Christian Nationalists would dismantle both the Congressional & Judicial branches of gov't via total corruption to preserve whiteness to emotionally & psychologically terrorize the beautiful diversity that once was the United States of America.

U.S. Border Patrol agents shot a woman on Saturday morning in Brighton Park marking the second shooting since President Donald Trump’s administration launched an aggressive immigration enforcement operation in the area last month, the @chicago.suntimes.com reports

Non-paywalled original article in the comments. Two different issues here: 1. You shouldn't be discussing troop movements where someone can see your screen. 2. You shouldn't be considering deploying the 82nd Airborne to Portland?? Everything they do is ridiculous.

Mark Kelly: “lf you are undocumented in our country, you cannot get healthcare from the Affordable Care Act exchange. You are not eligible for Medicare. You are not eligible for Medicaid. They’re just making that up. They just like to blame brown people.”

What they have and are doing to black and brown people is unconstitutional and white people sitting on the sidelines don't seem to understand they're next. Project 2025 plans to trim this country's population by 2/3. They want a smaller-whiter-christonationalist country.

Raise your hand if you knew in your bones that when the SCOTUS ruled that racial profiling is OK now, they meant to take away basic Constitutional due process rights from Black people. 🙋🏾‍♀️

This mother fucker needs to have his badge taken away IMMEDIATELY and whoever the fuck hired him needs to be fired and whoever the fuck is his direct command officer needs to be knocked down a notch. There must be repercussions for arming this level of aggression and mental illness.

Terrorist are to be arrested and / or shot. That's what I was told after 9-11. Is the Patriot Act still active? It made it legal for citizens to hold suspected terrorist.

The Supreme Court Just Took Legal Status from 300,000 Venezuelans

Oh look, another White House Signal scandal. This time it was an aide to Stephen Miller who was using Signal so openly in a public space that a bystander captured images of the chat. Oh and the messages were about sending the *82nd Airborne* into Portland. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Make some popcorn and settle in to watch #Heist this weekend. It’s a new documentary on the dismantling of the US federal government. “The HEIST team witnessed frightening truths about the systematic deconstruction of basic human services and documented them for 40+ days.” youtu.be/yRGX4ONWy68

I’m absolutely shocked. Oh wait. No I’m not.

On Russian state TV, lawmaker Andrey Lugovoy urged Moscow to exploit divisions between Democrats and Republicans to push America into chaos.

Thou shalt not shut down your entire government just to protect billionaire pedophiles.

I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.

"What kind of monsters grab children & take them outside without clothes? Who does that? What kind of govt permits its agents to abuse American citizens & non-citizens w/o the slightest concern for their rights, their well-being, indeed their basic humanity?" www.americaamerica.news/p/got-a-minu...

Donald Trump and Senate Republicans have driven up costs on everything from health care to groceries and electricity bills. Now they’re shutting down the government instead of focusing on the crisis they created.

Militarized federal agents raided a Chicago apartment complex and pulled men, women, and children from their homes and into U-haul vans, separating the children from their parents. Some people were pulled from their bed naked and terrified in the dead of night.

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

Trump's destructive tariffs are crushing family farms in Michigan and across the country. And they're jacking up the prices you pay for food every time you go to a grocery store or a restaurant. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

JD Vance attacks new Haitian immigrants working hard to succeed in the United States. Then he attacks the daughter of an immigrant for being successful in the United States. The bigotry runs deep, as does the bitterness and resentment—which I guess must stem from some strange distemper of the soul.

The American Federation of Government Employees filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration for inserting partisan political statements into furloughed employees’ automatic out-of-office replies during the government shutdown without their consent.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her. Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.
