Police Said They Surveilled Woman Who Had an Abortion for Her 'Safety.' Court Records Show They Considered Charging Her With a Crime Court records show that the narrative Flock and a Texas Sheriff's Office has told the public isn't the whole story, and that police were conducting a 'death investigation' into the abortion.

NEW: Cops in Texas told 404 Media in May they used Flock to find a woman who self-administered an abortion out of concern for her safety.

Documents now show police were conducting a β€œdeath investigation” and discussed whether they could charge her with a crime: www.404media.co/police-said-...

Wow β€” Trump & Russell Vought are trying to stiff furloughed federal workers and not give them back pay for the shutdown… but Speaker Johnson’s own website says they are legally entitled to back pay when the government reopens. πŸ€”

If "states' rights" mean anything, they must include the right to not get invaded by another state in peacetime.

The post includes a screenshot from CNN's "State of the Union" showing two individuals discussing, with a chyron indicating DHS officers fired at a driver who rammed their vehicle, later determined to be someone trying to storm the Presidential Palace, as the South Caucasus Coalition.

This is like planting evidence and then making an arrest.

Keep taking videos of what ICE is doing. @govpritzker.illinois.gov is right, document what’s happening. This is why they hate journalists so much.

GOPer Quietly Admits Trump Cuts to Blue States Will Hurt MAGA Voters Trump and his lieutenants are taking sadistic glee in slashing projects in blue states. Guess they’ve forgotten that their supporters live in them too.

President Trump and his party's sadistic little game is going to hurt real, live human beings. And some of them are likely to turn out to be GOP and Trump voters. trib.al/oZ1qC44

Amazing statement by Rep Malcolm Kenyatta.

This is the energy we need.

Of course this would be who called him boy and to be careful. Anything to protect their fragile egos while bending the knee to a fascist.

Your officers are being impacted.

How will you help them?

Otherwise they are merely warm bodies on the street for what purpose?

Why are they not prepared for chemical agents to be used? DHS does not respect your city. Prepare & act like it

I learned this weekend the value of de-escalation when our weekly protest was involved in an incident. This is valuable info that could literally save your life. And everyone can use a brush-up on what their rights are, especially since no one else will protect you except YOU.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” 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.

I really hope the footage in the thread makes it to @govpritzker.illinois.gov and the AG

Rammed a vehicle because of construction.

Also, feds thwarted by construction season in Chicago and shot a driver in road rage. It's probably a better headline.

On scene on 40th and Kedzie in Chicago, where locals are facing down militarized federal agents over a possible federal immigration enforcement- related shooting. Details still scarce and developing.

also, in keeping with Vance’s view of american identity, only white people are fully American with the right to critique or dissent. nonwhites must show proper gratitude (supporting Trump or marrying JD Vance) before they can speak critically of the country (in approved ways, of course)

This morning, theΒ Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.
