Did the ICE gansters stop and provide insurance information - or did they flee the scene?

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.

A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

Republican officials have spent years psy-oping themselves into thinking that there are no sincere, good faith liberals or progressives anywhere in America. So no wonder they're totally unequipped to deal with a large crowd of normal people waving American flags.

Well we realize that DL Demon Queen Mike Johnson isn't concerned about the:
- release of the Epstein files;
- colleagues that engage in domestic violence;
- American people hurt by the shutdown;
- truth-telling.

Like keeping the House shut down to avoid votes on releasing the Epstein files!
Yes, now that is REALY important.

"Let's talk about things that are serious."

Okay, let's talk about Cory Mills DV allegations. Also why you've been refusing to swear in an elected official as she'd be the deciding vote to release the Epstein Files, Mr. Speaker.

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

He doesn't know about Cory Mills, or what Trump and Pete said to the generals, but he does know the Portland naked bike ride is the most dangerous thing around.

“A judge ruled that Rep. Cory Mills, who has said ‘we must stop the left’s attack on women,’ poses a risk to his ex-girlfriend, the reigning Miss United States.”

Republi-cons are serious about tax cuts for the rich — everything else is performative to keep the rubes voting for them.

In a democracy committed to equal citizenship, intimate images cannot be wielded as a cudgel. Image-based abuse isn’t ‘messy politics’; it’s coercion the law must prevent. Public office confers duty, not immunity

Screenshot of two Bluesky posts. The first, by Chris Hayes, links to an Orlando Sentinel article titled “Judge grants ex-girlfriend restraining order against Rep. Cory Mills,” with courtroom photos of Mills and a woman. The second, by law professor Mary Anne Franks, says: “Revenge porn is a crime both in DC & Florida, where the victim lives. It also became a federal crime to either commit or to threaten to commit image-based sexual abuse on May 19 of this year. It looks like at least one of Mills’ alleged threats to expose the images occurred after that date.”

by this time next year, we want ICE agent to be one of the most miserable, soul destroying, hated jobs in america, we want parking enforcement to look like a dream job by comparison

the thing is, all that knock off amazon operator gear you bought to look tough and scary just looks fucking silly when you are being gyrated at by someone wearing an inflatable frog costume and being mooned by a naked bagpiper on a unicycle, it just doesn’t work, the self image cannot hold

Schnorkles O'Bork @schnorkles.bsky.social · 18h

It should not be understated how much clever shit like this actually annihilates morale at places like ICE/CBP.

Getting made fun of like this on national television while people laugh at you is.. well, you may call it victory wine, but it ain't.
