Israel spraying pesticide (that are banned in the EU) over south Lebanon as part of its ongoing campaign of ecocide. The goal is simple: to make sure that life itself is rendered impossible.
This remains rarely reported in the news despite them doing so for years.

ice was in elgin today. on tuesday, ice kidnapped people from chicago’s hermosa neighborhood as well as the suburbs of bolingbrook (west) and waukegan (far north). last week, feds in six vehicles abducted an adult and three kids from near their home in woodlawn.
they never left. they never stopped.

yes, there are no real signs of any big change in DHS activity here yet. In Chicago there really was after Bovino left and they basically ended "Midway Blitz" not so here so far.
I don’t know, declaring victory in MN seems premature. They’re still arresting people and brutalizing the community. The changes appear—so far—to be cosmetic
