It cannot get lost in the shuffle, even with so much else going on, that the world's most wealthy people have had their minds absolutely rotted out, just saturated to the dripping point with black mold down to the studs and frame, by the all encompassing unhumanity of their wealth.

Federal immigration agents deploy tear gas on Northwest Side streets as Chicagoans bellow, ‘Get out of our city!’ Federal immigration agents again deployed tear gas on Chicago streets Saturday morning, despite mounting scrutiny from a federal judge over their use of the chemical weapons.

"...Herman Rome, who was at O’Hare to speak with rideshare drivers about establishing a union in the state, looked down at his phone to send a text. When he looked up, there were 15-20 officers in tactical gear questioning about a dozen people who were later taken away in the back of a cargo van."

So many lies

Still not liveposting this hearing b/c it's dense, largely administrative issues, but this was worth highlighting:

District Judge Jeff Cummings just asked a govt atty if he can certify relevant immigration detainees are being held in "safe and sanitary" conditions.

"I cannot," a govt atty replied.

and right on queue we move from trying to ratfuck Mamdani out of being elected to trying to sabotage his mayorship before it gets started

Almost every major news story this week is about how the entire economy is now gambling, scams, bribes and theft.

Nearly two-thirds of South Sudanese children in child labour: Report Study finds that rates soar to 90 percent in some regions as humanitarian crises compound childhood exploitation.

like so many days since the blitz, today was terrifying. but the terror is outpaced by the burning hot solidarity of parents blocking school streets, hundreds of neighbors walking patrol, bicyclists chasing SUVs broadcasting whereabouts, and whistling winemoms bringing the fire of one thousand suns.

VIDEO: FBI Agents Visit Anti-ICE Protester “Your name was brought up.”

I obtained video of two FBI agents visiting an anti-ICE protester not charged with any crime.

While the media continue to mock Trump's war on "Antifa" as legally impossible, the FBI is quietly implementing it with investigations like these:

ICE Agents Are Using Family Separation Tactics Central to US State Violence The US’s family policing system honed many of the tactics now being used by ICE agents in Chicago.

"ICE agents utilize key tactics honed through the family policing system."

"To build long-term sustainable challenges to ICE and to family policing, we must see them as intertwined and part of [..] the same carceral state."

It’s fun that this is happening after No Kings day. Trump is just a king. There’s no parliament in session and he can do whatever he wants to the royal palace. No authoritative body is willing to stop him.

This is the base level of hostility these pig motherfuckers need to be met with

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

the day that society at large understands that testosterone and estrogen are necessary hormones in your body regardless of your sex, and that hormone supplementation is a health question rather than a loaded emotional question, will be one of the greatest days in human history.

This is not a joke. It actually happened.

Something I learned from my public health days is that an easy way to improve health broadly in the U.S. would be to simply increase funding for SNAP so families could buy what they want. Too long we've restricted SNAP because of ridiculous ideas about what lower income people should eat.

Threads post from julieceye At my local Home Depot today in Evanston, IL. They abducted 5 people in my immediate area.

For folks asking if they've made it *inside* a Home Depot yet as the business has clearly just continued letting agents do whatever they want in their lots, the answer is yes. This is from yesterday in Evanston.

= IHUFFPOSTI "Basically, I'm just fed up with the fact that I'm cis-gendered, I'm a white male, and I lean right, towards the Republican side," said Fears, 28, wearing a pin of the 3rd SS Panzer Division Totenkopf of the Waffen-SS. "And I get demonized if I don't accept certain things."

Time to re-up one of the great quotes of all time...while the Totenkopf is in the discourse. www.huffpost.com/entry/attemp...

US Marshal shot during immigration enforcement operation in LA, reports say A U.S. Marshal was shot while assisting an immigration enforcement operation, according to several reports.

"US Marshal shot during immigration enforcement in LA"

* article explains he was shot by an ICE officer whose weapon discharged when he used it to smash a car window

New York:

couldn’t be more representative of the current media landscape that the video trump posted of him dumping his own shit on people “appeared to be” ai generated. we have to hear out both sides of this, it could be real, who’s to say

No, kidnappings have also not stopped at NYC's immigration court or in L.A. & D.C.

Corporate media apparatus will continue treating this all as disparate events rather than a national emergency

Children will go to bed without their parents tonight. Let's keep talking about that stupid video.

BBC report that police are focussing on a 'ladder placed against the side of the Louvre' while investigation a recent theft from the art gallery.

It's very trendy for the woke left to mock the police these days, but this is the kind of thing that you and I might miss.

#CancelSpotify

They are running ICE ads.

They aren't the only company, but I think we should make an example out of Spotify and do an economic boycott against companies supporting masked, armed agents terrorizing innocent Americans with impunity.

Spread the word.

Elgin police officer put on leave after Facebook post about ICE immigration efforts An Elgin police officer was put on leave after posting a Facebook message about immigration enforcement, Police Chief Ana Lalley said.

The Tribune reports Elgin cop Jason Lentz posted specific addresses on Facebook for ICE to check out.

He was fired years ago after he posted that Ferguson PO Darren Wilson “Did society a favor” when he shot and killed 18-year-old Michael Brown. Later an arbitrator put Lentz back on the job.

Waking up every morning and checking the kidnapping report alongside the weather is not a thing anyone should have to do.

Al Jazeera reports on the Drop Site report earlier that the Trump administration realized within hours that the Rafah explosion yesterday – which Netanyahu used to justify halting all Gaza aid and resuming airstrikes – was actually caused by an Israeli settler bulldozer running over unexploded ordnance, not a Hamas tunnel attack.

Ryan Grim @ryangrim Soon after the explosion in Rafah, I’m told by a source familiar, the White House and Pentagon knew that the incident was caused by an Israeli settler bulldozer running over unexploded ordnance — contradicting Netanyahu’s claim that Hamas had popped up from tunnels. After Netanyahu said he was blocking all aid from entering Gaza in response, and unleashed a bombing campaign, the administration conveyed to Israel that they know what happened. Netanyahu then announced he would re-open the crossings in a few hours.

Mustafa Barghouti @Mustafa_Barghouti @MustafaBarghou1 Netanyahu reactivated his genocidal war on Gaza. His army conducted more than 100 air strikes since the morning and killed more than 30 Palestinian civilians. Netanyahu also activated his collective punishment of the civilian population blocking all humanitarian aid to Gaza.
