The chaotic scene is the entire city as ice just rolls up and starts grabbing people in traffic, walking down the street or enjoying the weather at the park. Are you fucking blind?

Well, I wouldn't want to draw conclusions for anyone>: but she voted many times to fund ICE & she's partly responsible for & voted for its creation. She loves the police state & voted for the 1994 crime bill that created our dystopian justice system. She's also an avid supporter of Israel, so yeah 👩🏼‍⚖️

The Young Republican texts story isn't new

Dems refused to address right wing extremism. As recently as August 2024 Pelosi was on TV saying "the country needs a strong Republican party" knowing full well a majority of the party hold insane radical beliefs. Now we have an all Nazi Republican Party💁🏼‍♀️

This has been a problem since the 90s when right wingers blew up the federal building in Oklahoma City. Dems backed down on naming right wing beliefs extreme (and they are extreme) & cowered instead of fighting right wing extremism via force of law.

Now we have an all Nazi Republican Party. 💁🏼‍♀️

Deploying highly aggressive ISP officers & a specialized unit from the Department of Corrections (who have no business anywhere near protests, btw) that escalated tensions with, were unnecessarily violent towards, and violated the rights of protestors. And that undermined Pritzker's entire message.

"These people should recognize that maybe they’re not gonna get prosecuted today, although we’re looking at doing that, but they may get prosecuted after the Trump administration because the statute of limitations would not have run out." - JB Pritzker.

I'm sorry, is the Trump Administration talking to a tech platform?

Is it...requesting content moderation?

Today following outreach from @thejusticedept, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target @ICEgov agents in Chicago.
The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing their jobs. The Department of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.

Great piece by Katelyn Burns

Dems need to recognize that American police are out of control & everyone is sick of it! They're poorly trained, they reliably escalate tensions & unnecessarily initiate violence. They need to be leashed.
