Trump: "I'm going to be strongly recommending at the request of govt officials, which is always nice, that you start looking at San Francisco. I think we can make San Francisco -- one of our great cities 10 years ago, 15 years ago, and now it's a mess."

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter: A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them. Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

Do you have a resistance plan that involves something other than winning elections?

Because free elections are gone. Gone. They will hold "elections" like they do in North Korea.

I very much hate that we need to do this, because I wholeheartedly believe in independent redistricting.

But we DO have to. We can't let one party play dirty while we play by the rules. Not when locking in fascism in America is on the line. 😔

it's going to take more than that.

ICE needs to be arrested when they try to abduct people without signed warrants. Because they're committing violent crimes, plain and simple.

Identify yourself, show your signed warrant, or get arrested for assaulting civilians.

Meme of three girls in a classroom sitting at desks, with the girl in the middle cheating on a quiz by copying the paper of the girl in front, and the girl in the back cheating by copying the girl in the middle. The front girl is labeled "Cops, lying". The girl behind her is labeled "local media". The girl in the back is labeled "national media".

Courts do not "step in." They must be called into action. We must charge them with crimes and/or sue.

A democrat could potentially win the next election, in a landslide, running on a "try ICE agents for their crimes" ticket. All they would have to do is run ads showing ICE raids, unedited. Project them on buildings. Just let people see what they do, and promise that they aren't above the law.

There aren't words to describe how much I don't want to subscribe to my skateboarding game to get branded merch.

It's just an offensive antithesis of skate culture. Fuck this in the most extreme way possible.

Even the "before" price is a hate crime.

Making $84k a year combined for two people, and they want you to pay $12k a year for insurance? (plus copays of course)

A quarter of everything you and your spouse make, combined. Absolute insanity.

SCOOP — Pennsylvania prosecutors were alerted to possible voting irregularities by one of MAGA's leading voices against voter fraud. A long paper trail shows Jack Posobiec has been living in Maryland but voting using his parents' PA address for years.

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.
