Fuck these people

WHOA: DHS says that their officers were “rammed and blocked in” in Chicago and got out of their cars and shot an U.S. citizen who reportedly also had a gun and who had been tracking ICE raids. They are blaming the shooting on her, and say they were already tracking her socials. More details to come.

This morning, during routine patrolling in Broadview, in the same area of Chicago that law enforcement were assaulted yesterday, our brave law enforcement officers were rammed by vehicles and boxed in by 10 cars.
Agents were unable to move their vehicles and exited the car. One of the drivers who rammed the law enforcement vehicle was armed with a semi-automatic weapon. Law enforcement was forced to deploy their weapons and fire defensive shots at an armed US citizen who drove herself to the hospital to get care for wounds.
The armed woman was named in a @CBP intelligence bulletin last week for doxing agents and posting online 'Hey to all my gang let's fuck those mother fuckers up, don't let them take anyone.'

Thankfully, no law enforcement officers were seriously injured in this attack.
Pritzker's Chicago Police Department is leaving the shooting scene and refuses to assist us in securing the area. There is a growing crowd and we are deploying special operations to control the scene.
This is an evolving situation and we will give more information as soon as it becomes available.

I still think it should have been all over when he said, “find 11,780 votes.”

FYI: Absolutely no "far left" or "radical left" people are involved in the federal government. If they were, we'd all have healthcare.

A fun thing to do if you can afford it is to give money to someone doing good work so that they both have more money, can do more work, and feel appreciated for doing the good work

if you’re a trans american and following the news right now, it can feel pretty terrifying.

that’s because it IS terrifying.

just… the number one thing you can do right now is to live as long as humanly possible and make it to the other side of all this.

because we WILL win. and that’s how.

I wrote this essay right after inauguration day and it’s even more true today. dansinker.com/posts/202…

We have to become the media that has collapsed. Pick up the pieces and build anew. Build robust. Build independent.&10;&10;Of course none of this is easy. These are not easy times. But it's necessary to make it through them. And while it may not be easy, it won't be lonely, because there are a lot of us out here looking to build anew. We'll do it, and we'll do it together.

FWIW, I’m sorry he got killed. He wouldn’t have gotten killed if it was harder to get a gun.

The least we can do to honor Charlie Kirk is to doxx the family of the first person that the internet incorrectly identifies as his shooter.

Rudy Giuliani happened to be in the middle of one of his favorite pastimes - RESPECTING WOMEN - when he suddenly broke every single bone in his body. Please do not call and ask any questions because his business partner is taking care of him ❤️

when president garfield was dying, they shoved a bunch of stuff up his butt in the hopes it would save him. it didn't work, in fact it definitely killed him quicker. but if any white house guys are reading this: you're the chosen one, you can make it work

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.
