An impressive list of wins. Political gravity still exists, apparently. Onward.

I mean the results are balm for my tired, bruised soul but so are the bluesky laughs...

I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.

I hear by lobby that if this man is deemed dangerous, all ICE agents from here on out should only be equipped with hoagies and footlongs.

"She added that the agent who was driving also threatened three different times to mace her and the other detainees — while he and the other agents were still in the same car as them."

“He jumped out of the car [and] ran to the car behind with his mace out, to try and mace these people — he did that on two occasions,” Moriarty said. “He did it a third time, and one of the other agents in the car said, ‘Do not get out of the car this time.’”

Some of what happened after: "She said the agent drove them
'all over the place' for several hours, crossing between Evanston and Rogers Park, and said that at multiple points he slammed on his brakes to try and cause another car to hit his vehicle."

Community members describe confrontation with federal agents - Evanston RoundTable Evanston community clashes with federal immigration authorities after car crash. Residents detained, pepper spray used. Mayor demands review.

Here's an accurate account of Friday's events in Evanston, with details from one detainee of agents' behavior during and after the incident & extended/disturbing video. NY Times coverage got it wrong & framed with CBP/DHS propaganda.

THERE WAS NO "CLASH." Federal immigration agents attacked protesters and community members.

This happened a few blocks from my home. The ICE vehicle slammed on the brakes, causing the vehicle behind it to run into them. The agents then pulled two people out of that car, violently threw them on the ground and detained them. This woman was threatened for trying to talk to the detained woman.

It's ours, folks. They gave it up for weirder, fashier ones. And they looks so clean when it's two dozen of them without blue lives matter or confederate or tea stained kekistan bullshit confusing the normies

Three cops wrestling a moving inflatable penis makes for some interesting police state imagery.

At least 5 of the Democrats running for that Congressional seat—including a school board member, a mayor, & 2 state senators—have been on the neighborhood streets doing rapid response, and/or have been assaulted by ICE at Broadview

Uninformed cynicism is a toxin. Please don’t spread it.

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE
Truth: No cars rammed ICE

Claim: She boxed ICE in
Truth: ICE boxed her in

Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE
Truth: She did not have a rifle

Claim: ICE returned fire
Truth: Only ICE fired

Claim: She drove herself to the hospital
Truth: Paramedics found her

In the past 4 weeks in Chicago, ICE/CBP have snatched hundreds of people off the streets & homes, shot & killed a single-father in his car, smashed & abandoned countless cars, and deployed chemical munitions at protesters, journalists, & now on public streets. Today they cuffed an alderperson.

Some reporters have never covered an appropriations markup or an appropriations bill or read the legislative text of a bill and it shows.

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

They are all just standing there doing nothing, see him, yell "Get him!" and run after him in a pack.

Feds in military gear flood downtown Chicago; top border official says arrests based on 'how they look' The immigration agents were spotted making arrests in downtown Chicago and River North neighborhood early Sunday.

In which a top US Border Patrol official, incredibly, tells my tall and Anglo colleague @chipmitchell1.bsky.social that he's not the type they're looking for as they go about downtown Chicago arresting people based on "how they look"

I'll say this once more:

@kairyssdal.bsky.social, of public radio (APM vs NPR), giving daily lessons on putting things clearly and honestly.

Enough of this "falsely" and "without evidence" and "departure from norms" wiggle talk.

The man lies. Is deluded. Steals. And constantly breaks the law

This reporter helped expose the falsity of ICE's narrative on the fatal shooting of Silverio Villegas Gonzalez. His work is a perfect example of why we don't have secret police.

Journalists have a constitutional right to cover protests and their aftermath. Release @peoplesfabric.com immediately.

Dem mega-donors should take a break from bitching about Biden & a group of them could get together & put maybe a quarter billion dollars in to a campaign explaining this to the American people. Because it’s a tough sell to the avg swing voter, who doesn’t understand there are three branches of govt

We're Not Broken “This book is a message from autistic people to their parents, friends, teachers, coworkers and doctors showing what life is like on the spectrum. It’s also...

For no particular reason whatsoever, I wrote a whole book about why society should stop trying to cure #ActuallyAutistic people and instead focus more on creating a better world and society for them. You can buy it here.

Hire more religion reporters (and journalism students - study religion, it's really important!)

Take the pledge (easy to do since they have nothing worth watching) .. never, ever watch ABC or CBS. These companies have no value if very few people watch. Do not watch those who enable totalitarianism.

One lesson from those juries is that it's worth coming together, agreeing on a common truth based on facts, and publicly speaking that truth as a form of societal restoration.

This happened just months ago.

I stood & held some of Melissa's fellow legislators moments after they learned Melissa had been murdered.

Then watched in horror as they also learned they were on the murders list.

This is political violence.
Thank you for your service Melissa, Mark & Gilbert ❤️

Missouri House Democrats plan to continue sit-in over weekend Missouri Democrats have surpassed 24 hours of their sit-in on the House floor protesting a special session.

Don’t say “Dems aren’t doing anything.” There’s just little attention to the courage of these Missouri Dems resisting the extreme gerrymandering of Republicans desigmed to increase Republican numbers in the House.

EVERYONE IN CHICAGOLAND:

Save this number in your phone. If you see an ICE raid:

1. Ask the the person their name

2. Ask who to call to let them know they’ve been taken by ICE

3. Tell them to not say anything

4. Call this number to report the arrest

If possible video it
