Someone should start asking why we’re hearing and seeing Stephen Miller so much all of a sudden.

hey friends.

here are some things you can do to feel better about what’s happening:

learn a skill
make contingency plans
introduce yourself to your neighbors
take target practice
update your pantry
go to protests
oppose ICE
call your representatives
collect evidence for the trials

mmhm.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

If ICE agents are proud of what they're doing, then why do they cover their faces like cowards, refuse to identify themselves, and hide behind anonymity?

Chicago isn’t a war zone.

Chicago isn’t in a state of emergency.

Chicago isn’t a military training ground.

Chicago isn’t in need of “saving”.

The only threat in Chicago is the ICE fascists who are kidnapping people from their homes at night.

Remove ICE & you remove the threat.

ICE-IS ISIS

good job, chicago.

is there anybody out there who thinks a civil war hasn’t already started?

you can freeze them and blenderize them or make banana bread or pudding.

i don’t know what city will be our nuremberg, but it IS coming and there WILL be consequences.

remember that “i was just following orders “ will not save you.

i’m old enough to remember when you were less angry.

it’s weird that we can remember the early pandemic as good times.

maybe someday we’ll get our lives back.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

"We illegally shot someone, so it was a tense situation. In this sort of tense situation, we can't be expected to respect Constitutional rights."

Nothing says America First like bailing out Argentina while making healthcare unaffordable for 20+ million Americans.

Or signing an Article 5 protection treaty with Qatar coz they bribed you with a plane, while screwing over longstanding NATO allies.

Folks, I think America First might be a scam.

The regime banned non government drones from flying over Chicago for 12 days

They’re suppressing the media

Without drones, it’s difficult to capture the black hawks. The children being dragged from the homes in the middle of the night

They know the world is watching, & they don’t want us to see

If Kristi Noem is so upset about being denied access to a bathroom, she should address oversight being denied access to ICE facilities. One seems a little more important than the other.

ICE in chicago today called shooting a woman “self defense “ because they saw a gun.

is that the bar for self defense these days? is that really the hill those fragile little snowflakes are literally going to die on?

When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty.

i hope nobody lets kristi noem and her little minions into buildings to use restrooms or get food or to sleep. anywhere. ever. for the rest of their miserable lives.

I wish Wonder Woman's advice wasn't so darn relevant today.

every day is a good day to remind ICE agents that it’s not too late to get a meaningful job like delivering pizza or mopping floors.

those are honorable jobs doing work that helps people.

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

It’s only a matter of time before there is a Kent State or far worse episode.

We have a bunch of barely trained hop-heads encourage to unleash violence.

What happens after is anyone’s guess. But none of this should deter us from fighting for democracy and rule of law.

BlackRock will buy AES, one of the largest publicly traded utility companies in the U.S.

AES is a major power provider for Big Tech companies building out data centers.

Yes: while these data centers drive up your electricity costs, wealthy financiers are going to make a killing.

we need ICE off of this planet.

i forget who said it first, but we should all start burning confederate flags everywhere and every day and watch those hatwipes lose their ever- loving shit.

you know that guy who beats the crap out of his wife and kids for breathing wrong and then says NOW look what you made me do and NOW you made be look bad in front of the neighbors I have feelings too?

yeah, that’s ICE.

every. single. one of them.

i imagine this will make the military extra loyal to him.
