This is so absurd. Over the summer I sent a FOIA to Cincinnati PD for information about the cops who killed 18yo Ryan Hinton. TMK they’ve never ID’d the officers and used Marsy’s Law to deny producing names because some subset of them were “victims.”

“It feels a lot like a storm where people have to stay inside and not go out… But it’s heartbreaking because it’s a storm that’s only affecting a third of the population and other people may not even be aware of it.”

Please remember to relentlessly support the WNBA PLAYERS when they are inevitably forced to strike or the owners lock them out. Management is always wrong.

If you're mayor of Palatine does that make you a Margrave or a Landgrave?

the Chicago Bears are now 9-3 and remain in first place after defeating the defending super bowl champions. Thats the Chicago Bears, from Chicago.

“Any fun plans for tomorrow?”
“No, we have people coming over.”

To be fair, regular search engines aren't any good either anymore

🚨Using any kind of chemical weapons at this range is aggravated assault against peaceful protesters. They have no weapons, they pose no threat. ICE is the enemy. 1/2

Note for Democratic politicians: you don't have to start your condemnations of ICE raids with "We all want to catch violent criminals, but..." Just say "These raids have nothing to do with catching criminals and everything to do with terrorizing innocent minority groups."

Normalization of fascist-style mass incarceration and crimes against humanity is the point

Feds Used Chemical Agents Dozens of Times in Chicago An investigation by reporters from six newsrooms found that agents used chemical irritants nearly 50 times during Operation Midway Blitz.

Several Chicago newsrooms spent two months collecting and analyzing evidence of ICE & Border Patrol's use of tear gas and pepper spray in Chicago.

They found that agents deployed chemical agents nearly 50 times. Most uses occurred after a judge ordered federal agents to restrict their use.

The rapid normalization of the violence is the point

No One Knows How Many People Die in Mississippi’s Jails. Here’s Why. From medical neglect to suicide, the lack of information on jail deaths can allow the same deadly problems to lead to more deaths.

not suspicious at all

Conversion therapy is quietly rebranding — and targeting trans youths As political attacks on gender-affirming care escalate, parents and experts fear a resurgence of discredited “therapies” that seek to change transgender children’s identities.

Good article. We have reported about "Gender Exploratory Therapy" at EITM for years now - it's a subversive practice akin to "crisis pregnancy centers" that seeks to delay transition until the person gives up on being trans - they will NEVER let the trans teen transition.

A US citizen filmed federal agents smashing his car window, as authorities begin a surge of immigration enforcement operations in North Carolina.

The Honduran-born Charlotte resident filed a police report after the officers let him go.

This is absolutely the tactic. So many arrests were just someone taking a step over a line, or not knowing new rules the cops just made up, or at curfew, cops targeting protesters who were mouthy earlier in the day. Or no apparent reason at all. Prosecutors really should drop all of these.

Just moments ago, detainees transported from ICE’s Broadview facility this morning were loaded onto an Avelo Airlines plane in Gary, Indiana.

This is so sad.

“Some of you were tear-gassed right in front of and alongside useless CPD officers and still think they deserve the largest share of the city’s public safety budget. Some of you are still waiting for the police to come to your rescue and save you from the bad guys.

Don’t hold your breath.”

It is clear now that the only thing which will protect Hispanic and Latino immigrants in this country is a Schengen Area style customs union that covers the entirety of both Americas and establishes freedom of movement in the New World. Freedom to move, freedom to say, papers for all.

“We are not made of steel” Photojournalist Salama Nabil Younis speaks of the psychological toll of war reporting in Gaza

"We are not superheroes. We are not made of steel. We are afraid every second."

"We cry. We live in terror."
