That One Jerk

Always targeted...

@jillehughes.bsky.social

I want to say thanks and pay respect.

I have learned quite a lot from your posts over the past several years.

Penalty to Greg Bovino for violating both the rights of Chicagoans and court orders should be:

Turn him over in only his underwear to the residents of neighborhoods he has tear gassed and terrorized,

or

Every resident of Chicago gets to kick him one time in the crotch.

You are always welcome in Chicago.

Open invitation.

The opposite of a liberal is a fascist.

The East Wing sort of resembles Gaza now, no?

Yeah, fuck no

While I watch Republicans in Congress shirk their duty and cheer on the atrocities with their passive-aggressive rhetoric and their lies, I wonder if the folks who elected them will do so again.

While I observe the atrocities committed by this regime, I wonder if folks who voted for the Felon feel any amount of regret.

The 400 richest Americans have more money than the bottom 175 million Americans.

That is THE problem.

Fix this, and a lot of other problems get fixed automatically.

So when I hear of students being encouraged to use GPT in college I don’t hear innovation. I hear cognitive atrophy, the inability to think critically for oneself, and total dependence on vulnerable centralized repositories of data for knowledge without ever understanding how knowledge is generated.

A green plant shoot growing out of a tiny crack in a large section of asphalt.

Perseverance

A better reform would be to eliminate campaign donations altogether.

Does Tom Homan have a Napoleon Complex?

I'm relatively sure Stephen Miller does.

Slowly but surely they’re saying the quiet part out loud

By that stupid, bigoted standard, all Brits and their descendants must vacate every country the British Empire ever invaded/colonized and hightail it back to Britain.

What say, Rupert?

Awfully big number of people, to be sure.
Talk about damage...

Who would declare anti-fascists to be terrorists?

Well. I'm thinking that fascists would.

Last piece of advice: turn off the mainstream media for a week.

Corporate media is interested in 2 things:

1. Making money from fear & grief
2. Protecting themselves from lawsuits

They'll milk the left's fear & the right's grief for profit until the end of time.

That's not news. It's greed. 🧵👆🏻

Throw away your television.

I just want you to remember:

1. They gave up on CECOT

2. They gave up on Chicago

3. Tariffs have no deals

4. They failed to indict a sandwich thrower

5. ICE fucked up the biggest fuck-up of the entire year & the fallout is only beginning

6. Epstein hasn't gone away.

They're hurting! 🧵👆🏻

The Power of Visible Double Standards When you say “They get to do this unrestricted thing, while they take that right away from us," you're describing what political scientists call "performative hypocrisy" or "demonstrative inequality." The key insight is that the hypocrisy isn't a bug in the system, it's a feature. The regime wants people to see the double standard because it sends a very specific message about power. Think about it this way: when a government blatantly applies different rules to itself than to its citizens, it's making a statement about hierarchy and control. It's saying "We are above the rules that bind you, and we want you to know it." This serves to reinforce the power relationship in a way that consistent rule applications actually wouldn't.

Fact is: free speech attacks will fall flat in the U.S.

Judges know this. Lawyers know this. Even the Republicans in Congress know this.

But the threats still do the job to

1. Distract
2. Intimidate
3. Drain our resources

Hypocrisy is the biggest strategy

Blatant hypocrisy demoralizes MORE. 🧵👇🏼

5. Kash Patel is getting pressure & blowback for his handling of the case. It's getting to him.

Even think about the fact that he layed off thousands of FBI employees at a moment when the Trump admin claims they're going to ramp up terrorism watch lists.

They've deverted their resources to ICE! 🧵👇🏼
