What's happening in Chicago is not normal. The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

This is great. The absurdity of this moment captured. Make it go viral.

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act. I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. It’s unfolding very rapidly. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-plan

This is one of many reasons why I finally pulled the plug and banned Roblox from our house. Also, their addiction model as applied to kids is truly sick. I’ve watched it destroy kids to the point that they lose their minds when they can’t get to the game before a drop. No thank you.

A VERY DISTURBED MAN

Political violence on Democratic appointed judge doesn’t count in ‘Muricah where Dems are the new “Jews” in Trump’s Naziland

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 )

Alaska vowed to resolve the murders of Indigenous people. But when one nonprofit asked state law enforcement officials for a fundamental piece of data — a list of Indigenous murders they’d investigated — the state said no. By @kylehopkinsak.bsky.social, w/ @adn.com

Two-thirds of National Park Service employees have been furloughed during the ongoing government shutdown, worsening an already severe staffing shortage. With limited personnel remaining, essential maintenance, law enforcement, and visitor services are significantly reduced.

I was told not to teach a class on the intellectual histories of Zionism and Anti-Zionism next year - not because they doubted I could teach it fairly, but because it would attract too many politicians scrutinizing the syllabus. A society where that is a valid fear is no longer fully democratic.

More messaging like this please

Feels like above-the-fold national news, but what do I know...

One of the lessons I discuss in "On Tyranny": Listen for dangerous words.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

The opinions of Judge Young (a Reagan appointee) and Judge Immergut (a George W. Bush U.S. attorney) are a reminder of a Republican Party that believed in the rule of law. But the fact that so far as I know no current elected Republican has praised those opinions suggests that old GOP is long gone.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE: This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A. ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why. A judge has ordered his immediate release. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This shit is dystopian. Blackhawk helicopters, zip-tied kids, and racial segregation vans. ICE is terrorizing communities.

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.

FYI this is going around seeming to be from me and Liz. This is not from us.

Thugs.

🚨 HUGE ICE procurement activity this week: • Detention/transportation contracts: $91.7M • Significant spending on weapons & ballistic/tactical gear: $74.6M • GPS monitor-based alternative-to-detention program: $22M • Current total: $218.6M | Potential total: $1.3B

Four U.S. citizen children were detained in an ICE raid—zip-tied, separated, held for hours. Imagine if these were your precious little ones! Can you close your eyes to this depravity? Please don't. Remember If this could happen to these little kids, it can happen to yours. Speak out now!

In order for the United States to become a party to the International Criminal Court and have our officials be subject to trial at The Hague, the US Senate would need to ratify the Rome statute by a two-thirds vote. Let’s start running on that.

Would you open the door to men who approached you like this?

Casey Desantis’s charity that got $10 million redirected from a Medicaid fraud settlement the state entered into directly into its bank account rather than the FL treasury.

I heard from one woman yesterday whose husband works for the Dept of Education. His outgoing email message while he is furlouged has been changed. It says that he is out of the office because Democrats wouldn’t come to the table to negotiate. It’s a lie. The employees know it, and so do we.

Osama bin Laden must be kicking himself. He didn’t need attack NYC and DC to take down the US. He could have just registered as a republican.

Very Soon, ICE Will Know Exactly Where You Are All the Time. ICE is planning on buying a tool that will let it see hundreds of millions of phones’ location data. newrepublic.com/post/201294/...

📌 The entire world 🌎 is laughing at America now 🐥

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…

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

“They” is not a “made-up pronoun.” It has been in use since the 13th century. And has been used by the likes of William Shakespeare and Jane Austen. “Them" is also not a “made-up pronoun.” It has been in constant usage since before the 12th century. Chaya Raichik is a dangerous, bigoted fool.

Excellent tips for keeping ICE out of your phone now featuring alt text

Arkansas police pulled over an Indian GrubHub driver wh ois married to a U.S. citizen. They found a bottle of Opium-brand perfume, arrested him for narcotics possession, and turned him over to ICE, where he was held for 30 days. He has now been stripped of his immigration status.

ICE will be at the Super Bowl. That’s been confirmed. So, what now? Will players boycott? (Not likely). Will Bad Bunny boycott (Maybe). Will Americans do nothing? (HIGHLY LIKELY).

"If they can arrest James Comey, they can definitely arrest Google CEO Sundar Pichai. But the rest of us now have to live in a country that is much closer to oligarchy, thanks in large part to the quiescence of the tech bros who fashion themselves as defenders of free speech." — @lizdye.bsky.social
