The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

What a PERFECT first line: “History is catching up to the United States.”

It sure the hell is!

And we are ALL going to find out just how much bullshit “American Exceptionalism” always was!

A Moscow resident complains that she can’t get where she needs to go because her navigation isn’t working. Electronic warfare systems are operating in central Moscow, jamming the signal. Poor thing — she spent an entire hour driving around the Kremlin, not knowing where to turn.

This is a really great primer on how farmers exploit "legal" farm labor through H2A visas and how that connects to ICE raids on undocumented workers. Basically, farmers voted for Trump to protect their H2A slave-labor racket. Things are upside down to what you think they would be. Watch & learn. 👇

How does one “abuse” their right to protest???

Clearly, this bitch thinks bowing down to fascism is preferable to fighting it.

What a cunt.

Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson's full statement, in which she says she will sign an EO permitting protest "only at the safety zone located at the ICE facility on Beach Street," is up on the village's website.

"There are too many protesters abusing their right to protest," Thompson says.

Image text:

Broadview Shrinks Protest Safety Zones

The following statement can be attributed to Village of Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson:

“The protests at the ICE facility on Saturday night degenerated into chaos. There were 15 arrests, and 10 of those were around the age of my own daughter. As a mother and a mayor, I am mad. Broadview didn’t choose to have the ICE facility in our community. But it’s here. And so are Broadview residents. There are too many protesters abusing their right to protest. Too many are raising their fists rather than their voices, creating chaos at the expense of the people who call Broadview home. Broadview residents lack the protestors’ privilege to return to calm, quiet neighborhoods for undisturbed rest.

Therefore, I have issued a new executive order, in consultation with the Illinois State Police and Cook County Sheriff, that permits protests only at the safety zone located at the ICE facility on Beach Street.

There will no longer be a designated protest safety zone at 2000 South 25th Avenue between Lexington and Fillmore.

Additionally, it has been only God’s grace alone that a protester has not been struck and killed by a motorist on 25th Avenue given how frequently protesters dash onto this busy, four-lane street. This new
measure will provide for both the serenity of residents and safety of protestors.

As I have repeatedly said, I respect, support, and defend the protesters’ free and – peaceful – speech against the outrageous injustices and deplorable unprovoked chemical arms attacks by ICE agents against American citizens, journalists, and ministers that put Broadview police and firefighters in harms’ way.

Nevertheless, my first priority is to defend public safety and the residents who live here and people who work here. They deserve stability, safety, and respect, a quality of life that is currently being denied to them. They deserve the love and kindness that they expect by being Broadview residents.”

If you think horses are beautiful, noble creatures and want to see them treated well, donate to Fresh Start. They are wonderful people who are doing their best to see all horses treated with kindness. And they are a ray of positivity in my day.

It's been a full week since DHS issued a press release claiming TEN CARS ambushed them—and have since:
•charged ZERO of those alleged 10 drivers
•arrested ZERO of those alleged 10 people
•filed ZERO reports of alleged property damage, &
•offered ZERO evidence of their claim
