My prayers are with the National Guard victims and their families. They never should have been political pawns of the mad man in the White House and his violent rhetoric in the first place.
My fear is now is how it’s going to escalate - martial law seems likely.
It’s gonna get ugly folks.

On November 14, 2025, in Evanston, Illinois, disturbing video footage emerged showing Border Patrol Goons attempting to flee the scene of an accident. In their escape, they resorted to pepper-spraying witnesses, instilling fear and intimidation in the community that resides just outside Chicago.

Amazon gets $15.7B. That could lower ACA premiums for 2.4 million people.

Some good reporting here @dailybeanspod.com
A judge blasted Border Patrol boss Greg Bovino for violating her order to stop using excessive force.
“Kids dressed in Halloween costumes walking to a parade do not pose an immediate threat to the safety of a law enforcement officer,” the judge said. blockclubchi.co/4qukilG

A federal judge was taking Border Control Cmdr. Gregory Bovino point-by-point through her temporary restraining order restricting the use of tear gas, telling him that “kids dressed in Halloween costumes” do not pose any threat.

#Chicago residents, remember that ICE cannot be on private property w/o a warrant w/o your consent. If you own the property they are attempting to make an “arrest” on, start recording and tell them it is private property and you do not give them permission to be on it. It’s our 4th amendment right.
Federal immigration agents again deployed tear gas on Chicago streets Saturday despite mounting scrutiny from a federal judge over their use of the chemical weapons.
