Wow β Trump & Russell Vought are trying to stiff furloughed federal workers and not give them back pay for the shutdownβ¦ but Speaker Johnsonβs own website says they are legally entitled to back pay when the government reopens. π€

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

The image is an X post by Acyn (@Acyn
) from 13 hours ago, quoting Pritzker: "He's saying that Chicago is a war zone. None of that is true. They're just making this up. And then what do they do? They fire tear gas and smoke grenades, and they make it look like it's a war zone." 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.

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.β 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.

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.

Be alert to the use of the words extremism and terrorism. Be alive to the fatal notions of emergency and exception. Be angry about the treacherous use of patriotic vocabulary.

also, in keeping with Vanceβs 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)
