This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Bad Bunny responds to his Super Bowl critics in Spanish, and then English: “And, if you didn’t understand know what I just said, you have four months to learn!”

Miller fulminating on x : Legal insurrection. The President is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, not an Oregon judge. Portland and Oregon law enforcement, at the direction of local leaders, have refused to aid ICE officers facing relentless terrorist assault and threats to life. (There are more local law enforcement officers in Oregon than there are guns and badges in the FBI nationwide). This is an organized terrorist attack on the federal government and its officers, and the deployment of troops is an absolute necessity to defend our personnel, our laws, our government, public order and the Republic itself. Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance • 3h 1/ Judge Immergut just granted a restraining order that prevents Trump's mobilization of the Oregon National Guard in Portland.

Miller’s screed doesn’t include Judge Immergut’s citation of James Madison

“A standing military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty. The means of defence against foreign danger, have been always the instruments of tyranny at home."

I take your point but it’s quite dark outside

Now they are surrounded by fire and Matthew Mconaughey has to fix the bus this is not relaxing

I am feeling very stressed about ‘it all’ and watching a stupid action movie seemed like a good idea but in retrospect Matthew Mconaughey driving a bus full of school kids through a wildfire was not a good choice

Some context that I think gets lost by calling people here "protesters." Strictly true that they were protesting. But this was neighborhood. Almost all of it was people who came out of their houses and pleaded to stop using gas because there were kids in houses/yards in the blocks off Kedzie.

My husband was detained by ICE today

Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away

I have had zero contact or updates since

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

Shooting involving federal agents in Brighton Park under investigation According to the Department of Homeland Security, a woman allegedly "boxed in" federal authorities, who opened fire.

ICE reportedly opened fire on rapid responders on the southwest side this afternoon.

There are *very few* details on this available at this time. Treat all rumors with caution until verified.

This Sun-Times article cites a DHS statement that should be treated, as always, with extreme skepticism:

Oracle employees who expressed support for Palestine were "referred to internal mental health resources."

Oracle is about to own TikTok.

Somewhere in America, a young Hispanic girl is hiding in an attic writing a diary.

The cycle is brutal

Page from The Wind inthe willows "VII The Piper at the gates of dawn"

Today I discovered that before Piper at the Gates of Dawn was a monument of English psychedelia, it was the title of a chapter in The Wind in the Willows:

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

Shelters that house unaccompanied minors are bracing for "Freaky Friday," the start of an ICE operation that will first issue letters to children, seeking to pressure them to return to the countries they've fled in exchange for a cash payment. If they decline, their parents will be targeted by ICE.

The Punisher is not Punishy enough so he had to add in a g-man Thompson submachine gun

I don’t even know where to begin. Gold Punisher skull with Thompson machine gun on the back and embossed signature

If you want a laugh, this is apparently the challenge coin that Ka$h Patel has neglected his other duties to design. It might as well be wearing a Fedora

I’m told ICE attacked us—despite us being off the street, courtesy of the state police—to create a spectacle because Kristi Noem was present today. Here’s some footage of her and her team on the roof of Broadview. Everything is content creation to these fascists.

Bari Weiss and JD Vance are very similar figures with very similar skills.

Totally. Or, as they say: we are so cooked

While I’m on a posting roll, I just realized that the way to save the Humanities is by rebranding Higher Ed as where you go to learn how to Do Your Own Research

They’re so close to realizing that what they hate isn’t black/brown/queer people, it’s their phones

The affair of the sword is the latest tussle between Mr. Trump and those who run the nation’s nonpartisan culture and and historical institutions, a number of whom he has fired or sought to bring to heel, starting with the National Archives.

The New York Times has repeatedly framed Trump’s unilateral attack on government agencies and civil society group’s (like universities) as a “tussle” between equals. And they continue to use the phrase “to heel,” as if his acts of intimidation are part of the presidents’s constitutional duties.
