Exactly. People are upset that many folks are not paying attention to news but like I can't change the minds of SCOTUS? So perhaps going to a local board meeting is way more useful

In that case, it seems like if the federal agents need 'protection' for their own buildings, then the state shouldn't be helping. Can't have it both ways

Perhaps direct your State Patrol toward protecting citizens of your state from said federal agents?

Well, if people weren't following historians of fascism years ago, I would rather they start now then not at all. So yes, the second best time is now, given that time travel is not a thing

They're trying to prevent the student newspaper from printing news, period. Not just a particular story.

"The Media School directed us to print no news in the paper... nothing but information about homecoming β€” no other news at all, and particularly no traditional front page news coverage."

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

How much do they think cardboard and markers cost? Even decent print jobs are not that expensive. But I guess if you're funding grifters who charge inflated prices for these things and skim, it's hard to conceive that people can afford $5 for a marker or two.

In Broadview, IL this morning outside the Chicago area ICE detention centerβ€”

Just rolled up, immediately saw ISP/CCSO arresting a protester w/ a guitar (he appears to be in good spirits over it).

ICE vehicles have been coming and going, including a large bus driven by a masked agent seen earlier.

I also can't help but think about Elijah McClain, a young Black man who was walking on the sidewalk bothering nobody when racist cops and paramedics *gave him an overdose of drugs* which killed him.

This poor man, he did everything right. Had a job that he was doing well at, no criminal record at all, no drugs, nothing. But because he was Black and encountered racist cops and a racist system created by the city of Eagan, he died painfully and alone.

IDK, whoever has access to the Epstein files, start reading the names aloud on camera and posting to TikTok and YouTube. That's a start!

Or even just read headline after headline of Republicans indicted over child porn, inappropriate sexual acts, etc, and after each one say "Thou Shalt Not Lust"

EL PASO β€” a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.

is it not weird that every day there’s a new video of anonymous masked men having the time of their lives beating/shooting/disappearing people and the dem response from the top down is β€œrepublicans want to double your health insurance premiums”

Donald Trump is not a king β€” and his administration is not above the law.

Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.

And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.
