"She has turned ICE into a rogue force" Congresswoman Robin Kelly I'm glad Robin Kelly is filing articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem but ICE has always been a rouge force and it should be abolished. The issue isn't just how Trump is using ICE, it's the existence of ICE itself.

Maybe instead of listening to someone that covered up the police murder of a child for his own gain, Democrats should just focus on talking about the tremendous progress many cities have made in reducing crime. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

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

Hmm, this looks like municipal law enforcement closing off a street and setting up a perimeter in aid of civil immigration enforcement

It would be really unfair to make Charlie Kirk a saint before Charlie Manson.

What's the difference between a Klan rally and the Charlie Kirk Memorial? Everybody left their hoods at home.

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

In the last year, Dick Cheney, Karl Rove and John Yoo have all expressed that Donald Trump is too evil for them. Can you even comprehend how awful someone would have to be for these morally depraved creeps to say that someone else went too far?

Whom amongst us is surprised to find that it was never about free speech in comedy and only about being allowed to say bigoted things & not being told to shut the fuck up?

The same people trying to tone police you are the same people spewing hate against trans folks & people of color, funding genocide, sending masked thugs into our communities and deporting our neighbors, gutting the social safety net & more. Ignore them.

Political violence is the genocide in Gaza.

What kind of Democrat says in their campaign launch video that they agree with some of Donald Trump's policies? That must be why Brendan Reily has the comments turned off on his campaign launch video. What a loser. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mY10...

The US military got their ass kicked in Vietnam and they'll get their ass kicked in Chicago.

Donald Trump is not going to override our democracy by telling Illinois how to run our pretrial system. We made history by taking the price tag off the presumption of innocence & we're not going back. Take action to defend the Pretrial Fairness Act: bit.ly/BeatBackTrump

Chicago is doing the work.

Trump's obsession with sending military in has nothing to do with the facts but with showing force in urban centers that are perceived as "black" and have black mayors.

Donald Trump is the public safety threat. Chicago's violence prevention efforts are working and Trump's gutting of funding for these programs & social services stand to reverse the progress made. Sending the National Guard into Chicago is a political stunt.

Cook County State's Attorney Eileen O'Neil Burke has made clear that she intends to collaborate with the Trump administration on their fascist take over of Chicago. chicago.suntimes.com/donald-trump...

The year was 2025, the USA was at war with the USA.

Democrats pushed the same republican narratives about crime being out of control. They saw to be more beneficial to spread false narratives than to talk about what they'd done to reduce crime. Those same narratives are now being used to justify military occupation, great job.

Does this look like somewhere that needs an invasion from the National Guard?

somehow I do not think “if republicans were really serious about violent crime, they would be sending the national guard to occupy the cities in their own states” is a winning anti-fascist argument

Don't tread on me.

Trump: we're sending the guard in to clean up the lawless streets of chicago. The lawless streets of chicago:

I know 99% of the people responding to the posts about Dexter Reed are deeply unserious people but for the 1% who may be sincere: - plain clothes officers surrounding a car with guns drawn unnecessarily escalated this situation. - 1 shot does not warrant officers firing 96.

Police have set up a checkpoint and appear to be stopping every single car on 14th st NW, between W+V, here in northwest DC. Some cars are being pulled over after being stopped. Some police are wearing “HSI police” vests (Homeland Security Investigations)

ACAB is represented by two separate yet equally important group: The police who commit crimes and the district attorneys who never prosecute them.

Dexter Reed was killed by Chicago Police after they fired 96 shots at him 41 seconds. Our new State's Attorney Eileen O'Neil Burke calls that good policing and says no officers will be charged.

Yesterday, the number of people incarcerated in Cook County Jail rose above 6,000 people for the first time since March 2022. Learn more about how State’s Attorney Eileen O’Neill Burke is driving up pretrial jailing: endmoneybond.org/2025/07/15/c...

It is essential that State’s Attorney Burke work with court stakeholders to reduce the number of people incarcerated in Cook County Jail. Failing to do so has the potential to reverse years of progress made by Cook County stakeholders while exacerbating the harm and violence in our communities.

Under Eileen O'Neill Burke, there has been a dramatic increase in request for pretrial detention, even though crime has been steadily trending downward.
