Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.

We might should get “President Stephen Miller” trending to drive a wedge between him and Trump.

His slip of the tongue reveals who’s really in charge. trib.al/mIvP0yE

“Illinois governor says we’re provoking actions that are unlawful,” Miller said on CNN. “If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice sleepy Southern town, is anyone gonna riot?”

The next few months need to resemble the 2017 fight to save the ACA. In the end, we won. Call Congressmembers, confront them at town halls, offices, airports & fundraisers. Hold events so Congressmembers look really bad for being afraid of constituents.

Let's show up. Let's organize. Let's win.

Peaceful protestors are literally under the gun. Stay peaceful, people, and the contrast will be obvious. They want violence more than anything. Stay joyful in your resistance.

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

Oh look the party that screams “family values” every five minutes is silent when one of their megachurch darlings pleads guilty to child sex abuse. But they’ll trip over themselves to ban books and attack drag shows. Tells you everything you need to know.

The image is an X post by RB (@rbisrb

The post includes a meme featuring a photo of several men in suits, with text overlay stating: "Instead of 'billionaires' can we go back to calling them 'robber barons'?" The individuals in the photo appear to be prominent figures, though they are not specifically identified.

The Court quietly allowed **racial profiling in immigration stops**, greenlighting Trump’s war on Latinos. Dissenting justices warned: *we should not have to live in a country where looking Latino is a crime.*

ICE agents shot a U.S. citizen Saturday on Chicago’s South Side
They are creating chaos

If ICE agents are proud of what they're doing, then why do they cover their faces like cowards, refuse to identify themselves, and hide behind anonymity?

Yeah, the Founding Fathers knew there could be someone like the Orange Menace as President. At least the Judiciary is using its statutory power even if Congress isn’t using its Constitutional powers.

Steve Vladeck @stevevladeck.bsky.social · 7d

The very first statute authorizing domestic use of the military during domestic emergencies, enacted in 1792 by a Congress full of the same folks who wrote and ratified the Constitution, expressly provided for judicial review in certain circumstances *before* the President could even send troops.

Hey mainstream news media. Maybe do your job and let people know just how fucking crazy this guy is. He’s trying to start a civil war.

Brandon Friedman @brandonfriedman.bsky.social · 8d

Everyone is trying to have a normal Saturday night and the president's top advisor is on X announcing that civil war is necessary

@StephenM on X: Legal insurrection. The President is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, not an Oregon judge. Portland and Oregon law enforcement, at the direction of local leaders, have refused to aid ICE officers facing relentless terrorist assault and threats to life. (There are more local law enforcement officers in Oregon than there are guns and badges in the FBI nationwide). This is an organized terrorist attack on the federal government and its officers, and the deployment of troops is an absolute necessity to defend our personnel, our laws, our government, public order and the Republic itself.
