This is how you do it, @govpritzker.illinois.gov. You don't keep the crowd out of ICE's way, you keep ICE out of the crowd's way.

The Donald Trump villain squad cut the Special Education office in Department of Education.

“The agency cut nearly everyone who works to administer federal funding for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act”

This is foul. Even for them.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

Attacking the press

Kelly @broadwaybabyto.bsky.social · 17h

Chicago journalist Debbie Brockman, who was thrown to the ground & handcuffed by ICE, has been released without charges

DHS said she assaulted an officer, but eye witnesses claim she didn’t

The lack of charges makes it clear that ICE is lying to try and cover up the fact that they attack the press

It's wild that we've reached a point where the President openly admits to firing people for political reasons, and his OMB director tweets about it like it's a victory. This is page one of the authoritarian playbook, happening in plain sight.

a spy who works for one country or organization but secretly provides information to a rival one.
