Ah, more shitty humans with the gory pet pics. Following me seems like a mistake.

Report the scammers.

No rescue groups post gory pics. That's bulshit. And owners dont run around doing that either. Think about it.

Reverse image search works, too.

U.S. police kill roughly 25 pet dogs a day, the majority of which pose no threat to them.

Back at Broadview where conservative stream Ben Bergquam and Proud Boy Terry Newsome stopped by to harass protesters. ISP separated them and made them come across the street by press.

Bergquam was embedded with ICE last month — my story: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

I have long believed that we should be WAY more vocal about how police and ICE constantly murder dogs, and I think this is great messaging actually.

The reality is that you can mobilize a whole lot of usually tuned-out Americans around a “someone is being mean to hecking doggos” cause.

This is Chop. He was shot and killed by masked assailants in plain clothes who go by ICE. They showed up at his door "looking for migrants after receiving a tip." The son of the family asked if they could wait before entering the home while he put Chop away in the bathroom, as the dog can be aggressive with strangers.
According to the family, it is at this point that the son went to his pickup truck to retrieve his ID and a Border Patrol agent entered the home, opened the bathroom door, and shot Chop. None of the agents helped the family, who desperately tried to render aid to Chop, as he bled to death on the kitchen floor. Unsurprisingly, the agent who shot their dog then hid from them and refused to give his name. Even more unsurprising, they did not find any evidence of the migrants they were there to terrorize in the first place.
Do not open your door for these fucking losers. Rest easy Chop

Everyone in the family planning office at HHS has been locked out of their emails + computers, so they can’t confirm if they’ve been fired

It appears that the whole office — which funds the country’s repro health clinics — has been cut

HHS Appears to be Cutting Its Entire Family Planning Office

Almost every member of the Office of Population Affairs lost email access and is unable to tell if they were laid off, workers told NOTUS.

Chaos at 105th Street and Avenue N. A couple bricks and possibly an egg got thrown at a squad of federal agents who were standing in the intersection. Two cars — a white SUV and a red one — got trucked out after a chase and a crash, per neighbors. At least three detained from this confrontation.
