We must now start calling this what it is: Trumpโ€™s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another stateโ€™s military troops.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.โ€ These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

"won" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.

Mississippi Baby Dies of Whooping Cough Amid Rising Cases A baby in Mississippi has died of whooping cough for the first time since 2012. The baby was less than two months oldโ€”too young for vaccination.

I really hate being right. I told you these headlines were coming & they wonโ€™t stop here.

Newborns are too young to get their pertussis vaccine (whooping cough) so they rely on everyone around them to be vaccinated for protection.

I only ever heard second-hand from my German relatives what the 1930s were like but it sounded like this. You see the story, it feels wrong, but everyone else around you is just carrying on, shopping, working, going to the cinema. So you do the same. Keep your head down, maybe this is fine? Normal?

Snapshot: The Attack in Chicago The night-time raid on a Chicago apartment building and its residents is an ugly escalation by an immoral regimeโ€”and an attack on all decent people

I agree with @stevenbeschloss.bsky.social, our government has become a place where there is no regard for human rights let alone human dignity.

The question posed in this article is โ€œWhat kind of monsters grab children & take them outside without clothes?โ€œ & then respond with โ€œFuck them kids.โ€?

If she canโ€™t take the heat, there are plenty of Alaskans who would be glad to show her the kitchen door.

Military families seek out food assistance amid shutdown anxiety "We expected an increase, but didn't quite expect this," said Dorene Ocamb, Armed Services YMCA chief brand and development officer.

The GOP controls the House, Senate, and White House, yet they've shut down the government. It's unacceptable that military families must rely on food pantries. Our troops shouldnโ€™t pay the price for Republican political stunts. #TrumpsHealthCareShutdown

The end of due process for immigrants is the end of due process for citizens.

Voting YES on Prop 50 is imperative to save our democracy!

These Republicans are knocking on doors to spread lies about Prop 50.

It's essential that we're out there knocking doors, too.

The Cabinet has to do that. Theyโ€™re not elected, but they stand to lose their gigs if heโ€™s out.

This is happening. ICE is going after black and brown people and I'm worried for my friends who live in the city.

I worry for my area of NE IL, as most of the population of IL lives in Chicago and the five counties surrounding the city and Cook County.

I would like to see lawyers and judges adopt the term โ€œKavanaugh stopโ€ so that when a case reaches a Circuit Court or even SCOTUS the term has already been embedded in the record.

Odds are that the grandparents of at least some of those agents served in the effort to combat Nazis during WWII. How proud theyโ€™d be to see this.

This was the autopsy paid for by Colin Kaepernick. We knew this.
Second autopsy reveals Trey Reeds was murdered despite false reports of suicide.
Trey Reed was found dead hanging from a tree on the campus of Delta State University, which is located in Cleveland, Mississippi.

Ald. Jessie Fuentesโ€™ office just released a statement she was handcuffed and threatened arrest amid ongoing ICE activity in Humboldt Park.

Tear gas was also used on passersby at a Home Depot an at Rico Fresh, her office says.

Iโ€™m on my way to an emergency press conference now.

I cannot express enough how this is what has been happening for some time in Broadview. Federal agents assault, shoot chemical munitions at, and arrest protesters completely unprovoked.

And state police are now helping border patrol to combat and arrest protesters.

Great work everyone.
