literally no need for this

the protesters were just standing there, not causing any problems. then here come the police, causing problems.

I need @govpritzker.illinois.gov to tell these goons to go home. And if he can't or won't do so, I need to know that, too.

Hey @govpritzker.illinois.gov, you need to do something about these ISP goons attacking protesters like @katmabu.bsky.social.

The People's Fabric @peoplesfabric.com · 11h

Police escalated the situation here in Broadview incredibly quickly. Saw multiple brutal arrests. ISP jabbing protesters with their batons like battering rams.

Here ISP lifts @katmabu.bsky.social by her feet to flip her over a concrete barrier.

If you're going to No Kings tomorrow, leave the bear spray, weapons, and zip ties at home - this isn't a Republican event.

For over 3 years my investigation has exposed how major banks enabled Epstein’s sex trafficking operation. I’m glad that his victims are able to use those findings to hold big banks accountable. I fully intend to keep following the money on Epstein. Stay tuned.

Epstein victims sue Bank of America, Bank of NY Mellon, for allegedly funding sex trafficking

Women abused by Jeffrey Epstein sued Bank of America and Bank of New York Mellon in Manhattan on Wednesday, alleging their executives violated banking laws and ignored red flags out of “absolute lo…

Can’t wait to see the evidence at their trial now, since summary execution failed. There will be a trial with evidence, right?

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe"

Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

This is potentially a massive story. Did DOJ plan for survivors? Do they have sufficient evidence to prosecute? What is US jurisdiction to prosecute? Where will they go next? When is their court date? Will they be indicted? Held at Gitmo? Returned to Venezuela? Be Epsteined?

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

This woman saw a brown man happy because his team was winning and thought threatening to call ICE was the appropriate response. She #FAFO.
