Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

It’s wild America thinks it’s a country where criminals are treated with a cushy lax attitude with law enforcement prevented from doing their jobs when every piece of evidence is that it’s the opposite except for rich people who don’t commit crimes because why would they have money if they did that

There’s a tiktok channel called pepper spray central where it’s just different people getting pepper sprayed. I have no point to make just letting you know this is where we’re at.

This is another damning picture of Kennedy refusing to meet with senior scientists and get advice about infections or vaccines whilst he spreads disinformation #healthpolicy

“My mammogram was covered last time."

“The mammogram is covered,” she said. “But this is for the ultrasound.” And she pointed to the number.

Just a reminder that people aren’t going to like you and that’s not ok.

Everyone should like you and you should work tirelessly to make sure everyone likes you all the time.

UPDATE: The man ICE violently arrested has been identified as Job Arias-Mendoza. Two weeks ago he published a video to his social media accounts of ICE handcuffing a man in front of a liquor store—it has more than 200,000 views on TikTok. streetcarsuburbs.news/arias-mendoz...

NEW: ICE agents violently arrested a man in a busy Hyattsville, MD intersection this week, at one point brandishing guns and pointing them at bystanders.

I spoke to multiple witnesses—including a local priest whose church is a sanctuary for undocumented people: www.thehandbasket.co/p/ice-agents...

I used to report for a show that was produced out of this Scripps-owned ABC affiliate in Denver. I’m really proud to see them publicly make clear they weren’t the cowards who caved to fascist threats.
