We really don't talk enough about how decades of copaganda have contributed to the perception that "chaos" at protests can only be caused by demonstrators, and the only response is more repression.

Elected officials just yelling "stop hitting yourselves" on repeat

Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson's full statement, in which she says she will sign an EO permitting protest "only at the safety zone located at the ICE facility on Beach Street," is up on the village's website.

"There are too many protesters abusing their right to protest," Thompson says.

Broadview Shrinks Protest Safety Zones

The following statement can be attributed to Village of Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson:

“The protests at the ICE facility on Saturday night degenerated into chaos. There were 15 arrests, and 10 of those were around the age of my own daughter. As a mother and a mayor, I am mad. Broadview didn’t choose to have the ICE facility in our community. But it’s here. And so are Broadview residents. There are too many protesters abusing their right to protest. Too many are raising their fists rather than their voices, creating chaos at the expense of the people who call Broadview home. Broadview residents lack the protestors’ privilege to return to calm, quiet neighborhoods for undisturbed rest.

Therefore, I have issued a new executive order, in consultation with the Illinois State Police and Cook County Sheriff, that permits protests only at the safety zone located at the ICE facility on Beach Street.

There will no longer be a designated protest safety zone at 2000 South 25th Avenue between Lexington and Fillmore.

Additionally, it has been only God’s grace alone that a protester has not been struck and killed by a motorist on 25th Avenue given how frequently protesters dash onto this busy, four-lane street. This new
measure will provide for both the serenity of residents and safety of protestors.

As I have repeatedly said, I respect, support, and defend the protesters’ free and – peaceful – speech against the outrageous injustices and deplorable unprovoked chemical arms attacks by ICE agents against American citizens, journalists, and ministers that put Broadview police and firefighters in harms’ way.

Nevertheless, my first priority is to defend public safety and the residents who live here and people who work here. They deserve stability, safety, and respect, a quality of life that is currently being denied to them. They deserve the love and kindness that they expect by being Broadview residents.”

We honor the legacy of Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, a fierce protector of our collective freedom. Our hearts are with her loved ones and all who carry her vision forward.

"We will honor Miss Major forever." - @imarajones.bsky.social

I want you to train and teach and love on and create families within my community and gender non-conforming people, so that we can understand that we have a culture, we have a history, we have a reason to be here. We have a purpose. We’re entitled to be loved, and seek happiness, and share that with the people that we care about.” -Miss Major Griffin-Gracy

Not to get all “the master’s tools” here but I really don’t think the “‘center-left’ guy who’s kinda woke-lite but nonchalant and sardonic about it” approach is gonna win over very many cishet men

Strange Days at Blake Hol(e)sey High 👻 🍑 @reactionordinary.bsky.social · 20h

You’re semi being affirming, but you also have a blasé persona to maintain & visibly caring too much fucks w that image. So you lean back on the “insignificant population” spin which is so fucking insulting & just a terrible angle for so called allies to take.

Who is this for? Who is this helping?

So the bigot nobody does his bigot dance for clicks.

And the podcaster invites the bigot nobody on to “roast” him for more clicks.

And the content farmer steals the podcast interview for even more clicks.

I hate everything.

You’re using humor to expose this guy’s hypocrisy and obsession with this shit because it’s lucrative. Fine. But you’re conflating gay and trans. You’re *barely* pushing back on the transphobic shit pooping out of the guy’s mouth in realtime.

Irresponsible af.

Like, I had no idea who a Michael Knowles was before I saw this. Life was better that way.

And this is an indictment of the original content too cus like, idk who this Adam guy is either but what are you even doing here.

Sharing videos of grifters, interviewing grifters, etc. even if it’s to “critique” the grift, is not useful for anyone but them (and I guess you, cus you’re getting a little outrage engagement out of it)

You’re not shining a light on the darkness or whatever tf. You’re just spreading it around.

Husband officially hates his job.

I’m afraid of an impending mass exodus that’s going to very soon make me hate my job.

Lots of folks in my feed out of work, underemployed, can’t get hired, crowdfunding to make ends meet.

There’s gotta be a better way.
