Let me guess, ICE CUBES ranting after these "Messican looking" Menominee people?

ICE hit our area hard again today. I spent the morning and afternoon on patrol, and then came home for Understory, the emotional and spiritual support group for activists I co-facilitate. @tanuja.bsky.social was going to cover for me, but I decided I needed to be there, for my sake. I was right.

My latest is the story of how my community has rallied to protect and defend our neighbors in recent days, as ICE has targeted the Rogers Park neighborhood in Chicago. "This is not a story about a moment of victory, but a moment of being reminded of our power."

They Came for Our Neighbors. We Showed Up.

Before long, there were dozens, and then hundreds of people in the streets, watching and responding.

When even Yglesias knows you are full of it.

Matthew Yglesias quote tweeting Sally Jenkins tweet of the “Don’t Bet Against Bari Weiss” article

Sally: This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob.

Matt: I don't think people are "betting against Bari Weiss" the concern is that she will succeed in transforming CBS News into regime-aligned propaganda.

China is extremely opportunistic and self serving. They string Russia along and take full advantage of Russia being an isolated criminal state. Xi and the CCP could give two shits about Putin's ambitions. China are still ducks for doing business with Russian criminals though.

One weekend in mid-August, hundreds of inmates at a minimum-security prison in Bryan, Texas, were locked down, except one: 63-year-old Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s convicted accomplice in the sexual abuse of underage girls. She was expecting a secret visitor. www.wsj.com/us-news/ghis...

Ask China, you say?
No, just ask Donald Trump. This is his policy.

There is no amount of open corruption that will wake up Americans. That family has realized this crucial truth. They broke Senate, media and Supreme Court. Nobody dares to stand up. We live in a Republic of fear and cowardice.

Just a thought:

I'm seeing a lot of anti baby-boomer sentiment, the idea being that the country will benefit once they & their outdated politics and values die off.

As a baby boomer myself, I take exception to this. Wanting people gone is what this fascist regime is about.

More tolerance please.

Trump put a hit on Epstein.

His prison cell was never dusted for prints or examined for DNA evidence after his death.

Is there anybody on the planet who thinks this was an oversight?
