Byers admits staffing needs to enforce operation of the Broadview #ICE Abduction Facility DROPPED from "40-50" agents in Sept. to 12-15 by Oct. 20th, meaning @jbpritzker.bsky.social's Police have helped free up 60% of ICE/CBP staff to run abduction operations across IL & other states.

Ellis asks how many have been involved at any given time protecting the Broadview facility since the beginning of September.

Byers says "the most we've had at any given time is probably 40 to 50."

@govpritzker.illinois.gov's calculus will be his downfall. Using his police force to protect ICE operations & brutalize peaceful protestors in Broadview, he thinks he can keep Trump from federalizing the National Guard & sending them into Chicago. He delays the inevitable & burns political capital.

Mayor Brandon Johnson signs executive order establishing ‘ICE-free zones’ • The TRiiBE Johnson is calling for a full investigation into “all of the brutality” that federal agents have conducted this past week.

HAPPENING NOW — This morning, Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order establishing “ICE-free zones.”

“That means that city property and unwilling private businesses will no longer serve as grounds for these raids,” Johnson said to applause.

What we’ve learned from recent developments over the past days: a member of a Far-Right political group spreading violence was allegedly murdered by a member of an even further Far-Right violent political group, & the Right & Far-Right political groups are blaming the Left for “political violence”

ICE is acting as Trump’s secret police to torment and destroy our communities. But we aren’t helpless. Join me and hundreds of committed activists at ICE’s main Chicago-area facility Friday morning at 7 am.

Wikipedia quick to update the Turning Point USA entry.

Hmm.

Anyway, when is Congress going to release the fully unredacted Epstein Files?

Hot take: Republican propaganda about how government doesn’t work is so effective, it’s convinced leftists to do the work of persuading non-voters or potential voters to not participate in elections, which helps to get more Republicans elected.

BREAKING: Gov. JB Pritzker says the Trump administration has sent the Texas National Guard to Great Lakes Naval Base outside Chicago, awaiting orders to deploy to Chicago.
Trump administration officials will target Mexican Independence Day (Sept. 16) celebrations. @wttw.bsky.social

‘We don’t take an oath to a king.’ As Trump threatens to expand National Guard deployments in cities across the U.S., this reminder from retired Army General Mark Milley is more important than ever. Critics say Trump’s actions are politically motivated and raise serious constitutional concerns.

James Dobson’s obituary is one that I read with great pleasure.

Sunday reminder: The Bible is a book of wisdom we may use as a guide to love & liberate our neighbor.

Unfortunately, most Christians are indoctrinated to believe the Bible is a book of rules we use as a tool to oppress our neighbor.

Now you have to deal with student loans & ballooning education costs - to keep you uneducated, easier to manipulate & exploit

Did y’all know parts of the United States had FREE public college education until Ronald Reagan trashed it in the 1970s? He was told by an advisor that the US government was “in danger of producing an educated [working class]… that’s dynamite!”

A reminder for people: go outside. Spend time with friends. Enjoy another person’s company. Share your abundance, & carry one another’s burdens. Experience each other’s humanity. Remember & practice daily how to love your neighbor.

🇺🇸 Christians: do not look away. This is what you voted for. This is what you wanted. The complete antithesis of what Jesus preached through his life, death, and resurrection. This will be the legacy of the United States & another dark stain on the Christian Church. A legacy of unmerciful hate.

Just one meeting with JD Vance was all it took. Wow. This administration is so toxic.

Happy Easter (aka Zombie Jesus Day) to those who celebrate. I’ve been waiting months since I thrifted this shirt to wear it for this holiday. Also remember: women can be preachers/leaders in church. The first documented people in the Bible to share the Good News of the Resurrection were two women.

You know there’s a problem with Christianity in the United States where every time Jesus shows up, Christians want to deport Him.

Republicans to the American people: the beatings will continue until morale improves.

Democrats to the American people: the beatings will continue until you vote for fewer beatings.

Either way, the average working-class American will continue to experience beatings.

For anyone wanting to De-Google their tech or looking to step away from privacy-intrusive platforms in general, this guide looks promising. Going to document my research, testing, & transition to these different platforms. Also, give @purchase-w-purpose.bsky.social a follow.

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

Never had it, but I'm willing to give it a try!

A portion of humanity is lost when a computer screen is involved.

People don’t understand what fascism means.

Trump wants to be King. He has declared himself ultimate ruler and above the law.

The Atlantic reporter doesn’t know how the Overton window works. @giladedelman.bsky.social you’re not being kind to our language, disrespecting @apnews.com & ceding ground to a known abusive narcissist & rapist.

If historical events of the past are any prediction of future conflicts based on similarities from current events, WWIII will start before the year 2030.
