BREAKING Former ICE agent: On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.

Wow.

All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who can’t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.

Hey Cook County, let's all vote for Liz Nicholson for 2nd Dist Board of Review. Her opponent, incumbent Samantha Steele, was the chick who drove drunk, crashed into a parked car, argued with the cops, tried to use her office to get off, then attempted to flee scene. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samanth...

@phish.com @trey.com @mike-gordon.com @jonfishman.bsky.social @pagemcconnell.com Hey guys. So. What's the plan for dropping the Wasserman Agency? I love you guys, but your silence on the matter can only be interpreted as consent. Neutrality on these issues no longer exists.

A @repandrade40.bsky.social canvasser stopped by the house just now. I've voted for Jaime as long as I've lived in his district, and intend to do so again. Serendipitously, we spent more time talking about @kevryanforillinois.bsky.social, whom thy guy hadn't heard of. So I told him! VOTE FOR KEVIN!

I acknowledge the irony of my saying this on social media. Nevertheless, I can't help but think that this is the universe's way of telling us we should spend less time on social media. open.substack.com/pub/zeteo/p/...

I don't say this lightly. David Brooks' final column is *magnificent.* No notes. Must read. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/o...

Don't let any Senate "wins" to avoid shutting down the government by only temporarily funding DHS fool you. Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries still need to go. They are not the people for this moment. Send 'em packing with Durbin.

Don't fuck this up again @democrats.org. You dorks have a habit of caving after a couple weeks when your spineless, lily-livered cowardic kicks in. Keep your people on a short leash and hold the goddamn line. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

@durbin.senate.gov @duckworth.senate.gov You probably don't hear this enough, so THANK YOU. Thank you for your pledges to vote NO on the DHS funding bill.

PSA: the heinous shit ICE and Trump are doing is not a Minneapolis problem or a Minnesota problem or a Chicago or Portland problem or a big city or blue state problem. It is an **AMERICAN PROBLEM**. If you are an American, wherever you live, this is happening to you too. Get off your ass.

@durbin.senate.gov @duckworth.senate.gov VOTE NO ON THE DHS FUNDING BILL. Thank you, The State of Illinois

Heading to church... Parents, you'll have to explain to your children what it means.

Rest of the world: I'm sorry about the US right now. I thought we could at least contain this nightmarish, ghoulish shit to inside our house. But we failed you. Now it's on your doorstep too. I'm sorry.

@ramirez.house.gov @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov TELL ALL US ILLINOISANS RIGHT NOW WHAT YOU ARE CURRENTLY DOING TO GET TRUMP OUT OF OFFICE. WE DEMAND YOUR ACTION. IMMEDIATELY.

Trump sure loves criminals! Especially the repeat kind!

Aaaaaand, cue all the ICE agents who start breaking into people's homes without warrants under the cover of "it was an emergency." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/14/u...

ATTENTION ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS! CAST YOUR BALLOT FOR @kevryanforillinois.bsky.social! DON'T FALL FOR THE HYPER-SIMPLIFIED IDENTITY POLITICS AT PLAY IN THE SENATE RACE! @rajaforil.bsky.social FORMALLY PRAISED ICE FOR THEIR SERVICE. HE'S IN THE BACK POCKET OF BIG BUSINESS. DO NOT VOTE FOR HIM!!

These IL Congresspeople voted to formally praise ICE: @budzinski.house.gov, @congressmanraja.bsky.social, @repschneider.bsy.social, @ericsorensen.bsky.social. VOTE. THEM. OUT. And do NOT vote for @rajaforil.bsky.social for US Senator. Vote @kevryanforillinois.bsky.social!

@congressmanraja.bsky.social voted to "express gratitude" to ICE last year. He's a wolf in sheep's clothing. He's in the back pocket of all the evil corporate overlords we need to get out of politics. DO NOT VOTE FOR HIM FOR US SENATE IN ILLINOIS!! VOTE FOR @kevryanforillinois.bsky.social !!

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

This is the kind of disgusting stuff the MAGAts are saying on Truth Social. There is no depth to their depravity. No words really either. Cheering on violence. They're not outraged by yesterday's murder, they are happy about it. These unserious people are too far gone. It's devastatingly sad.

Sure looks like murder to me. FUCK ICE. FUCK TRUMP. FUCK BOVINO. FUCK STEPHEN MILLER. FUCK ALL THESE NAZIS. www.instagram.com/reel/DTOEa-f...

Surely there is a patriot out there somewhere who knows computer hacking and can revamp this disgusting rewriting of history with some facts, photos, and videos of what actually happened. Surely. www.whitehouse.gov/j6/?utm_sour...

@ramirez.house.gov IMPEACH DONALD TRUMP. NOW.

CBS News is dead. Let us mourn the passing of the network who once brought us Walter Cronkite, Edward R. Murrow, and Connie Chung.

Starting to think that these people work on behalf of Earth. We've f***ed this planet into nearly irreversible oblivion. Earth is tired. She's begging for mercy. Only thing left is to kill all of us humans off so she can begin again. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/05/h...

America’s strength is moral authority. We lose it every time we excuse cruelty done in our name. We can be better—and we must. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Seeing lots of comments in social media threads asking "why aren't men calling Trump out for treating women journalists the way he does?" @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social makes a great argument against it. Give it a read. www.meditationsinanemergency.com/an-insult-is...

Illinoians! You want a compelling alternative to politics as usual? Follow and consider @kevryanforillinois.bsky.social . Let's drain the swamp of corporate money in our elections and stodgy out-of-touch politicians. Fight the good fight!

Hey y'all. You should do what I did and create a Truth Social account and post as many truths as you can muster each day reminding Team MAGA that Trump is a pedophile. This kind of blitzkrieg has got to count for something. Maybe we change a few minds. Who knows. Can't hurt?

@durbin.senate.gov. And @duckworth.senate.gov, you better get him in line.

@durbin.senate.gov What. The. Ever. Loving. F***. Are you doing? We're in the midst of the longest government shutdown in history, and because of you, we are walking away with NOTHING. You unbelievably weak, pathetic, old man. Go away. Just leave. Now. SHAME. SHAME. YOU ARE NOT THE MAN OF THE MOMENT

Starting to talk more openly at work about the domestic terrorism and state sanctioned violence happening where I live in Chicago. When your country, your communities, and your neighbors need you most, I hope you're not the person who thinks, "I wanted to save democracy, but I had a work meeting."

If I understand Mamdani's campaign message this election cycle accurately, then his win yesterday teaches us a lesson: getting out into our communities, looking people in the eyes, meeting our neighbors, talking to strangers, and taking care of each other is a winning strategy. Dems: make note.

Ding ding ding ding ding! Thatcos the correct answer! What exciting prizes do we have for him, Johnny?!

American gestapo in the neighborhood...

It should be repeated over and over about the Trump agenda: He builds himself a massive gold ballroom while millions of children and elderly may go hungry because his enablers insist the government cannot afford to pay their meager benefits.
