Another reminder that this is a violation of the consent decree and a court order. They do not care.

UPDATE — Multiple witness videos today show an older white federal agent straddling a young Black man on the ground outside of a Walgreens on Chicago’s Southeast Side.

This is a developing story.

Revolting. We will never forget Charlie Kirk called MLK Jr “awful,” said prominent black women lacked “brain processing power, and suggested raped girls as young as 10 should be forced to carry to term.

Please don’t back down. People need to see more of this strength and resolve from Democrats. And less of stuff like house Democrats signing resolutions honoring Charlie Kirk because they were afraid to be painted as political violence supporters.

Ran into Speaker Johnson and told him exactly how I feel about Republicans shutting down the government to protect pedophiles and jack up health care costs for 24 million Americans.

Truth Social may be a more appropriate outlet for making broad generalizations about everyone who is not like you.

Does your definition of kindness include respect for people who have religious beliefs?

Be Still @4r0mth3w9t3r.bsky.social · 10d

You might consider also that the U.S. civil rights movement, and anti-slavery movement before that, were driven and inspired by religious beliefs.

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

"Absolutely not. No member of the media at CBS or any other outlet was "attacked." For their safety, we remind members of the media and journalists to exercise caution as they cover these violent riots. We have seen rioters throwing rocks, armed with guns, slashing tires, throwing tear gas cans and other violent acts. Secretary Noem has been clear: rioters will not stop or slow us down from removing the worst of the worst."

What's happening with ICE in Chicagoland today:

Federal agents continue terrorizing Back of the Yards, Broadview mayor and police chief held a presser, and neighbors in South Shore late night were startled awake by a raid on an apartment with stun grenades.

Trump doesn’t care about paying for healthcare or not. They are stalling to prevent release of the Epstein files.

This is what you big ICE and CBP tough guys do. You’re not making us safer, you’re not impressing anyone with your tactical gear, you are making us all sick. Losers.

Sightseeing? Trying to find the best deep dish? I love the way they have to travel in a giant pack too. The intent is to instill fear, but they seriously just look like a bunch of lost morons. What do their friends and family think of this clown show?

It’s hard to find much evidence of a true youth movement rallying behind Kirk beside the dedicated conservatives who were already fans.

Instead, we see a top-down effort from powerful people to use a controversial man’s death to create a cult of personality where one didn't exist. trib.al/AXEPYZR
