Off the top of my head; not necessarily an exhaustive list: Chicago Ald. Anthony Quezada - shoved to the ground June 4 Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss - tear gassed Sept 19 Chicago Ald. Jessie Fuentes - briefly detained Oct. 3 Chicago Ald. Rossanna Rodriguez-Sanchez - shoved Oct. 31

Cowards

Chicagoans are starting to do exactly this.

“The most transparent administration” strikes again with trying to cover up their crimes.

it's so zover

If children who are not related to you do not call you “Aunt” or “Uncle” then you have no charisma and no light in your eyes.

Yet again i want to remind everyone that Bill Gates and several other billionaires have invested in mining projects in Greenland that are only accessible because of melted land and sea ice, he and other billionaires are essentially shorting the planet

inventing a kind of mario kart blue shell for wealth would be sick, and it’d make back its investment after only *audible calculator smashing* roughly 3,028 sales! so sharks, do we have a deal?

Ok in fairness to the media, "Man has extremely normal life experience, yet wants to become mayor of New York City, a job fit only for madmen and sex offenders" kinda is a story

My partner and I have two siblings by blood, total. Our kids easily have at least a dozen aunts and uncles

You can cook food for your neighbors. Set a free pantry box outside of your place. Pool money with your coworkers if someone at work has young kids or an elderly relative that likely has SNAP. You don’t have to pry into people’s business, you can just do things & make it known help is available.

If you're going to volunteer at a food bank because of the current times, please consider wearing a mask when helping distributing food. Even if they're not wearing a mask themselves, poor people have enough to deal with right now, getting an infectious disease just adds to the burden.

the reality is trump is definitely without a doubt going to try to install himself as president again in 2028 and the reason no one in the media is really saying that or taking him on when they say that is they know it’s probably over a 50% chance of it working and they want to be on his good side

"There is a clear mental health crisis going on in the Oval Office right now. He is detached from reality. Every politician and pundit, every journalist...knows this. It should be the biggest story in our media. But, shamefully, it isn’t." Me for 'First Draft':

District Judge Jeremy Daniel ruled in Ruben Torres Maldonado's habeas case yesterday. Though Daniel found Torres Maldonado's detention was unlawful, and ordered a bond hearing by 10/31, the judge cited "constraints" he said the court had to act within and did not order Torres Maldonado released.

Border patrol agents deployed tear gas on the 3700 block of North Kildare where residents say a landscape worker, a resident, and a woman on a bike were detained. Video from a resident.

the federal government is waging war on citizens living in areas that didnt vote for donald trump, its insane

Palestinian families are facing a grisly search through corpses for lost loved ones, with Israel returning bodies to Gaza as part of a ceasefire deal.

The specifics of this are extremely bad. DHS is using a tariffs/product importation law to demand Meta unmask the identity of an Instagram account that posts about ICE enforcement actions. The page sells no merch. Lawyers call it "wildly outside the scope" of the law www.404media.co/dhs-tries-to...

You get rid of this for the same reason you got rid of Franken—you gotta stand for something.

“Tricia McLaughlin said protesters “shot at agents” with fireworks and threw objects at agents [and] Agents...gave protesters multiple warnings. The video of the incident does not show protesters throwing rocks or fireworks at agents, nor can agents be heard warning protesters.”

An indictment charging ex-LAPD officer Clifford Proctor with the 2015 murder of a homeless man was finally unsealed Friday. Latest w/ @liborjany.bsky.social www.latimes.com/california/s...

Are the Trump administration’s arrests of key sports individuals and mafia figures on gambling charges just another shake down for Trump Inc donations? How many pardons will be issued?

the weak Anglo mind cannot comprehend "building more houses"

They tortured him to death.

This guy seems like a big problem.

The police are defunding us.

Keystone Kops Korps

at this point it's nearly impossible to figure out who is actually stupid vs who is pretending to be stupid vs who used to be pretending to be stupid but did it for so long they became actually stupid

If you are arresting someone for playing the Imperial March you are literally a stormtrooper!

Military Junta on the horizon.

I'm being very intentional about my word choice when I say that ICE raids are not Roman circuses because they are not sporting. They are spectacle, and they are absolutely arousing for sadists. But fascist sadists are not seeing sport. They are seeking flesh crushed under an unyielding machine

Graphics from one north side rapid response group; they’ve asked to share far & wide.

Newspapers closing, news deserts growing for beleaguered news industry apnews.com/article/news...

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

This is essentially a notice for people to monitor spaces highlighted by TPUSA propagandists on the anticipation of ICE showing up.

China is basically the only functioning democracy on earth. SO YOU ARE SAYING A COUNTRY WHERE BILLIONAIRES HOLD NO POWER IS THE SEEN TO BE THE MOST FAIR TO ITS PEOPLE? I WONDER WHY THE WEST, WHERE PEOPLE HATE THEIR ELITES & OLIGARCHIC SYSTEM, HAS TO PAINT CHINA AS THE MAIN EVIL??? HMM WONDER WHY!

I barely survived 2020-2023, where I nearly drank myself to death in the darkness of my apartment. I was able to pull myself out of it and into sobriety, barely. Late capitalism, climate change, and American fascism drag us into hell, and rebellion must include hope for a future not yet realized

sums it up. headlines on crowd sizes and the feeling that maybe something happens (somewhere else) aren’t action, and getting a bunch of people to show up to a party for nothing isn’t organizing. find your people and build something real.

Oh that’s why I couldn’t download the next portion of my audiobook. Welp 🏴‍☠️

AWS is down, post hog

Gotta love when a single point of failure takes out a sizable chunk of all internet business.

it was like folks caught on, in a quiet sort of way, that their disdain was not only being used against them, but it was being *engineered* to be used to rile them up to build an influential leftist contingent to sabotage his campaign. that’s where nypost & olivia reingold come into things.

I think back to a diff set of govt lies. In 2004, we (investigators and defenders) compared affidavits to video for a large chunk of 1800 arrests during Repub Convention protests. Almost all cops' statements were bigly false. Manufacturing lies and insulating themselves from penalty seem de rigeur.

please disabuse yourself from the propaganda that leftists glorify violence/seek to incite protests - is rhetoric to fracture movement (good vs bad protestors) - ignores state violence instigating (ppl getting attacked ≠ attacking!) & justifies harm - overwrites practical analysis w/fearmongery

everyone: we don’t want kings rightwing media: this is a confusing protest line, no one is claiming trump is a king the entire trump administration:

🚨 ALERT: Swastika Nazi spotted in the Citrus Heights WinCo between 10:00-10:20am today. Have you seen me? Subject claimed to live nearby to the Citrus Heights WinCo.
