I just checked and this is real. It's on Border Patrol's official Instagram (I don't see it on Facebook) and is being celebrated by Nazis on Twitter, as you can see in the screenshot. The clip is just 13 seconds long too, so it's a very intentional thing. We've got a Nazi government.

can not underscore enough how much this is just a random neighborhood

Chicago mayor says police will not aid federal troops or agents reut.rs/3JFTTjS

genuinely nobody is more surprised about this guy than me.

I am so tremendously thankful that JB Pritzker is my Governor. When he ran I was extremely skeptical but he has proven to be an amazing leader time and time again. Friends outside of Illinois: I know you are skeptical of him because he is a billionaire but watch his actions. They speak volumes.

I think a major factor in so many people being kind of blasé or in denial about ~all this~ is that they’ve been waiting to be given some sort of paternal-ish permission to start freaking out. So, here ya go. Here’s the permission.

Gov. Pritzker: "If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me not time or political circumstance from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

i grew a little tomato that’s perfectly rubber ducky-shaped and i’m in love 🐤 she’s wearing a little leafy bow tie!

We don’t answer to kings. We don’t stay silent. We show up – in every city. Tomorrow, bring your voice to a peaceful protest near you:

I encourage everyone to consider attending one of the many demonstrations planned for tomorrow across the country. Show up. Demand accountability. Peacefully protest. Find the rally closest to you: NoKings.org

Tomorrow is the big day. Our goal: to show the power of the 3.5% rule right here in the U.S. Over 100,000 coalition members and their families will be attending events across the country to help as needed.

Seeing what's happening in the USA and globally, created this small tool based on a bunch of years making banners and signs 🏳️‍🌈✊ Banner Planner v1.0: Sizes, materials, making methods based on the budget, situation and people you have contributing to make signs. iancapstick.github.io/bannerapp/ba...

and if you can't do street protest due to disability or other reasons there are lots of other ways to contribute!!! a bunch are in this nifty zine spencersunshine.com/wp-content/u...

Y’all I don’t want to be rude but there is no one-size-fits-all rule to protest and you should ignore anyone/any meme that says otherwise. Protest is a practice. You learn as you go, and it makes sense to start within your comfort zone. Watch the people around you, stay alert and use your judgment.

I’ve seen a lot of hand wringing about the dangers of going to No Kings protests and gently, I want to tell people to chill a little. These are permitted marches and the point is to be out there and seen en masse. Please don’t scare off people who are maybe going to their very first protest

Every union should be echoing this statement.

as a disabled person, this terrifies me. just cuz i’m a sicko doesn’t mean i’m a true american who deserves to live. for fucks sake

one way i deal with chaos and crisis is to nest. so @joe.germuska.com and i pulled out the fridge and thoroughly vacuumed its behind and cabinet. then i soaked and scrubbed the hood vent filter. it was so satisfying and i felt for a moment like i could conquer anything. do you do this too?

Walk like a penguin, Chicago!!

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

Guardian vs. NYT. You know who's going to call things by their true names and who's not even gonna give you syrup with that waffle. Guardian: "Elon Musk waded into controversy on Monday when he gave back-to-back fascist-style salutes....

meta is disintegrating. looking forward to getting off of its platforms. this is just one more mega reason why

Meta is bad. I mean. Really bad.

i wonder how fast y’all will get annoyed if every one of my posts is “my job is gym” 😂 i swear i’m also a wellness coach and quilter but temporarily, my job truly is gym (and pool and PT and dietitian and so many docs and and and )
