TBF, has Mamdani worn a tan suit in public yet?

ICE: thug trash.

The so-called party of ‘law and order’ were the perpetrators of dangerous chaos in my district this past week. ICE agents deployed tear gas without warning, nearly ran over an Alderman, and tackled people in the middle of the day who were trying to work to put food on the table for their families.

American parents, please ignore Trump’s recent reiteration of nonsense about Tylenol and vaccines, as well as anything the man ever says about the health of your children. Please talk with your medical professionals.

More from the scene

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.

Old Irving Park, not far from Kilbourn Park

These assholes have a court order barring them from gassing people without imminent violence.

So it’s my neighborhood’s turn with these goddamn thugs today. #OIP #FuckICE

Pretty impressive they were able to finish early despite this being a war torn hellhole.

The resolution isn’t great, but dies anyone else think it looks like this thug has his finger on the trigger while he aims his gun at the face of the protestor? Like, inside the guard, on the trigger? Is that normal (by standards before Trump)?

I had a secondary duty in the USAF as a security policeman (MP) Even removing your weapon from its mount or holster required paperwork an inch thick afterwards to justify the action. The fact that these goons are being allowed to point a loaded weapon in someone’s face is unfathomable.

Struck me at the end of Trump's first term, post-impeachment, that even when he got bipartisan support (like for CARES) he didn't invite Dems to the bill signing. I think about this bc there's a kneejerk political media instinct to ask Dems how they'll unify the country and it's getting very silly.

BREAKING: Trump to remodel Oval Office, make it square

So committing flagrant crimes in public is the best way to show you’re innocent. For example, undocumented immigrants could try being seen accepting a bag of cash from undercover FBI agents posing as businessmen in exchange for a promise of government contracts to be awarded in the future.

Listen, there have to other bored billionaires out there with opinions about what should be on TV. Couldn’t we at least expand the oligopoly a little?

Oh, look: a circuit split. Hoping for (but not expecting) a better decision from the en banc review. Also, and I admit that I’m not particularly knowledgeable about Civil War history, but (as described in LawDork’s article about the 9th Circuit argument), Judge Nelson’s comment … (1/2)

It’s almost like violent crime is continuing to decline and we’re hardly living in a war torn hellhole AT ALL.

And the point is: “Shit on you, shit on America. I am full of shit.”

Important 🧵

We have frogs everywhere. #NoKings

Ready for tomorrow. #NoKings2 (Yes, there’s a citation for the quote on my protest sign. I’m not a barbarian.)

Isn’t this how most presidents have authorized the CIA to conduct covert intelligence operations?

Mockler: I have spent all my formative years watching the President talk about the opposition party like they should not exist. His claim to fame in politics was saying that Obama was not born in America.

So I was expecting “unbelievably bad” to be hyperbole, but nope.

Trump claims ICE’s reign of terror in Chicago is targeting the “worst of the worst.” But out of the 1,000 undocumented immigrants that have swept up, the agency has only cited 10 men with a criminal background. Don’t believe his lies for a second. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

Thinking about how much of their violence has been normalized already, how scenes that caused shockwaves 6 weeks ago are now part of the rhythm of daily life. Watched a TikTok from a daughter who has to do her parents' laundry & get their groceries because they're in hiding. This is just it now

I get that Goldberg is the E-in-C but also it’s a nice dig to have the statement come from the guy Hegseth & co. included in their Signal chat about air strikes on Yemen.

Does he report it on his taxes? Income reported under Schedule C tax for CAVA?

I’m pretty sure Chicago cops have to file a report every time they draw their weapons, but these untrained, undisciplined ICE jagoffs keep waving theirs around at anyone who films their kidnappings or some something mean and never face any consequences.

CHICAGO — Outside an elementary school during dismissal… horrifying. What have we become?

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning. A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

“Perry: Federal law permits the federalization of guard troops in three instances, ‘not whenever (the president) determines when one of them is met.’” This may be one of the most important things Judge Perry said.

Breaking news, per @themelodymercado.bsky.social: A federal judge granted a temporary restraining order Thursday against National Guard Troops mobilized this week in Illinois against the will of state and local officials. blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/09/j... via @blockclubchi.bsky.social

So the ICE goons are just carrying bolt cutters around to deal with locks on private property?

“… theyre sniping priests for sport.”

This is how it’s done.

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent. Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

You can’t talk seriously about gun violence in Chicago without talking about where the guns come from. www.pbump.net/o/the-red-st...

America’s best hellhole! Suck it, Portland! /jk - Portland looks great, hope to visit some day. All of us in blue state hellholes and war zones need to stick together.

Newly obtained documents confirm what law enforcement and Flock Safety tried to deny: A Texas sheriff’s office used license plate readers while investigating a woman’s self-managed abortion, not to find a “missing person." www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

I mean, obviously. The correct thing to do when DHS or ICE or any of these thugs makes a claim like this one -- the only thing to do, really -- is presume they are lying. Because they always are. They are state-sponsored Klan members, and should be treated accordingly.

so at this point it seems like *nothing* the feds said was true? it's a legitimate miracle that this woman is still alive.

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. trib.al/9Sxu9IN

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram. Community action works. Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DPZL2AL...

Just yesterday, DHS denied that ICE and CBP agents are attacking journalists. And this wasn’t even at a protest.

ICE boats trawling the Chicago River. This is the DUMBEST thing I've seen in my entire life. No exaggeration. What's next? Humvees loaded with armed, masked agents patrolling Disney's Main Street U.S.A.? #Chicago

More reporting like this please:

ICE attempted and failed to disappear a food delivery guy. It needed to be scored.

Trump administration performance art for the tourists. Total bullshit.
