Someone sure is thinking a lot lately about heaven, hell, and where he’ll end up, huh

UPDATE β€” Multiple witness videos today show an older white federal agent straddling a young Black man on the ground outside of a Walgreens on Chicago’s Southeast Side.

This is a developing story.

really do genuinely feel that our local press needs to find a better word than clash for interactions between federal agents armed to the teeth with chemical munitions and actual guns and some neighbors who are yelling and maybe throwing found objects. not even delving into protests facing the same.

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

BREAKING: Major clashes in southeast Chicago this pm.

DHS agents who crashed a car had eggs thrown at them. According to ABC7, they then fired pepper balls at local residents. It’s now a scene of flying rocks & tear gas.

Chicago was never a war zone. But Trump’s militia is turning it into one.

this is really the key insight. it's why the best attacks against them highlight that these violent, sadistic racists are not really able to coexist in society - they aren't just offensive, they're deeply off-putting: weirdos, creeps, etc. bsky.app/profile/junl...

It now appears the federal agents have left the intersection, after deploying more gas into the crowd. Still working to sort more details.

Feels almost trite at this point to bring up the federal court's restraining order, which included language meant to rein in agents' use of chemical weapons.

A confrontation between community members and militarized federal agents appears to be unfolding on Chicago's southeast side, near the intersection of E. 105th St and S. Ave. N.

Details still emerging. From what I've seen federal agents have deployed at least one can of some kind of gas.

Just so everyone is clear, the main issue in the Supreme Court voting rights case tomorrow is whether it's racist against white people to enforce the Voting Rights Act.

I'm dead serious. We live in incredibly stupid times.

Time owner Marc Benioff (and Salesforce CEO) just announced a few days ago that he's eager to start sucking Trump's dick full time. He even wants troops deployed to San Francisco. But as we see here, it's never enough. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

While Trump was busy doing nothing to lower grocery prices, he used the presidency to double his family’s wealth.

He was never going to help you.
He was always going to help himself.
