ICE is GESTAPO. The armed thugs of a dictator wannabe.

Let's not turn a blind eye to this shit like the Germans did in the 1930s. It wasn't that long ago and either your parents or grandparents were the original ANTIFA.

Make them proud!

I live in Chicago… I live a block over from Cicero. ICE visited my home yesterday. ICE didn’t knock. ICE tried to forcefully open my window. ICE opened my screen and asked me to sign papers. I AM an American Citizen. Born on U.S. soil. ICE forcefully tried to enter my home! WAKE UP AMERICA!

Gov. JB Pritzker had a message for any ICE agents who are abusing their power in Illinois. Someday, the tables will turn, and they will be prosecuted.

The hostages are home.

Not a single one of the 20 remaining survivors is female. Let that sink in.

Immigrant advocates have been thrown to the ground, pepper-sprayed, and tailed in their cars by officers in an apparent attempt to intimidate them, @caitlindickerson.bsky.social reports. One tells her: “It's never been this bad.”

‘It’s Never Been This Bad’

Immigrant advocates face escalating consequences and threats from the president.

This version is confirmed, by Hoffman Estates police, puncturing the official DHS statement.

At this point, there is a statement from DHS re 🧊 activities in the Chicago area that’s refuted in similar fashion on nearly a daily basis at a minimum over the past week

Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi @congressmanraja.bsky.social · 20h

Despite what some, including at DHS, are claiming, this video isn’t from a year ago in Chicago. It was Friday in Hoffman Estates, in my district, a street I’ve walked myself. It appears to show a child being violently detained by ICE. It’s real, and I’m demanding accountability.

This is just sick.

Media outlets from WaPo, NYT, AP, and CNN to Newsmax are refusing to sign the Pentagon’s new gag-order press policy in a rare moment of total bipartisan media unity. This is the way. We can have different ideologies, but we must have a free press.

Am I missing something?

Biden got over 100 hostages released from Gaza

Trump got the remaining 20

Biden was humble and reserved

Trump made it a spectacle about himself grandstanding and treating it like a twisted game ridiculous photo op

Yet no one calls him out on it

This morning’s sunrise over Marseille.

The sky appears to be on fire. The distant horizon and city buildings frame the fire with darkness.

Several grey clouds remain.

I finished The City of Brass by S. A. Chakraborty. This was one of the best historical fantasies I have read in a while with fantastic worldbuilding and cultural lore!

This was one of those books that, upon completing it, I googled absolutely everything about the author & more. 🤭

Trump is taxing the hell out of Americans and all these dumb fucks just keep believing him and supporting this and republicans keep whitewashing this crap. Do voters not realize tariffs are tax on consumers who buy products. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

I spent my afternoon making & passing out Yes on 50 flyers in front of Walmart & other stores in English & Spanish, and you can do it, too.

If you wanna save democracy, you'd better put your all into it!
I know that's high pressure, but this is high stakes!

The Spanish flyer is in the next post.
