"Neither the lawyers, nor their allied legislators, have much need for the paramilitaries. Why bother with [them] when the electoral escalator can take you straight to the highest tiers of the legislative, judicial, and executive realms?"

will never cease to blow my mind how virtually the entirety of the academy, hand in glove with the democratic establishment from biden on down, just cut their own throats in service of protecting israel. just served up a meatball on a platter for trump. and now handing out favors for it

the trump regime legal apparatus is coming after these schools *expressly for allowing antisemitism to run wild.* they're using their own claims against them to extract massive cultural concessions. literal nazis are breaking these guys on the wheel using their own phony crisis. crazy work

Watch Mahmoud Khalil’s interview on Ezra Klein, he details how Columbia used the same ratfucking tactics the cops used on civil rights protesters to provoke confrontation. And what was terrifying is nobody, not the colleges or the admin seemed aware of the Pandora’s box they were opening.

Allow me to summarize:
1. 5 IDF soldiers caught sexually molesting a Palestinian prisoner.
2. IDF files charges.
3. IDF AG faces enormous pressure from government to drop charges. Mob storms base where it happened.
4. IDF AG leaks video documenting the molestation.

Complicity of liberal institutions with the crackdown on student protest paved the way for the crisis of academia. To defend our work we must sever the link with the security state. Come join us at U of C tomorrow, where we will discuss how to confront the hiring of the inveterate liar John Kirby.

It's nearly impossible to make a living entertaining children in a sewer since Stephen king's "It"

Protesters have formed a protective wall. Taking the street for real.

the shield banner is 🤌

State police have moved their armored vehicle forward now, and warned demonstrators they have 15 minutes to disperse. More and more Border Patrol/assorted feds arriving.

It appears people are over the free speech zone

Every day I have to hear about some asshole

Our National Nightmare What’s the way out of the terrors of Trumpism?

The eighth issue of Hammer & Hope is now live.

OUR NATIONAL NIGHTMARE. The reins of government power, technology, and the press tighten and tangle in a few white billionaires’ hands. Where is this American cabal going next, and how deep will it drag us with it?

There has been some predictable backlash against Roberts’ video from some Heritage staffers & establishment conservative voices. But calling victory is way premature. One crucial segment is conspicuously absent from the pile-on and everyone knows it- young conservatives

ICE has powerful facial recognition app Illinois cops are barred from using — with little apparent oversight The administration has contracts with Clearview AI, a firm banned from doing business with Illinois police agencies. “This is what dystopian nightmares are made of, this kind of continual expansion of...

"According to the lawsuit, Charles Johnson, a Holocaust denier and purported Clearview co-founder, had allegedly made a Facebook post about 'building algorithms to ID all the illegal immigrants for the deportation squad.'

Others have already spoken to this, but a major element of Midway Blitz is the admin signaling that nothing and nowhere is sacred. Holidays, graveyards, school campuses, churches, homes.

Nothing is off limits to the roving bands of masked, heavily armed strangers who say they're here to save us.

After the district court issued a temporary restraining order affecting some aspects of immigration-law enforcement in the Chicago area, the judge on her own motion entered a further order requiring Gregory Bovino, a Chief Patrol Agent at U.S. Customs and Border Protection, to appear in court at 5:45 p.m. every weekday “to report on the use of force activities for each day.” The judge justified this order by stating that she had seen videos that led her to question whether the TRO was being obeyed. The order was not, however, a response to any motion by counsel for the plaintiffs (and the videos to which the judge referred apparently do not deal with behavior involving any of the plaintiffs). The federal defendants seek a writ of mandamus with respect to this aspect (and only this aspect) of the district court’s rulings. We issued a stay of the order requiring Chief Bovino to appear and report daily, and we now GRANT the petition for mandamus.

While this litigation presents very challenging circumstances, the district court’s order has two principal failings. First, it puts the court in the position of an inquisitor rather than that of a neutral adjudicator of the parties’ adversarial presentations. Second, it sets the court up as a supervisor of Chief Bovino’s activities, intruding into personnel management decisions of the Executive Branch. These two problems are related and lead us to conclude that the order infringes on the separation of powers. Review by appeal at the end of the case would not solve the problems created in the interim, which justifies review by a prerogative writ. See In re Commodity Futures Trading Commission, 941 F.3d 869 (7th Cir. 2019). Cf. Cheney v. United States District Court, 542 U.S. 367 (2004).

#BREAKING The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sides against U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis, who had asked Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino to appear in her Chicago courtroom on a daily basis.

The appeals court finds that her order "infringes on the separation of powers."

From an Evanston resident filming an arrest at Oakton/Asbury ~an hour ago:

"He was being very violent with her, I said ‘You got to stop that,’ and he said, ‘Step back or I’ll fucking shoot you.‘ I step back, and then I continue to record, at which point he turned around and pointed a gun at me.”

just for musk, thiel, and sachs alone, no group of immigrants has done more damage to our institutions and cultural heritage than white south africans. a devilish people

Starbucks workers in Phoenix, AZ held a picket today to say they’re ready to strike if necessary!

Strike captains have been elected in stores, and Phoenix is showing us just a taste of what union power looks like ✊

when we win the masked agents raid our neighborhoods. what do they cover up? (yesterday) is their promise & their charge. on 75th and South Shore they ram down our doors using (yesterday). they toss canisters of (yesterday) into our children’s lullabies. why? my people, we carry (today) & (tomorrow) in twin holsters. we plant (today) & (tomorrow) in our gardens. every day there are more sprouts. let it be known: Chicago will never cower. (yesterday) already died. (yesterday) is dying. (yesterday) will die again. there is no future in (yesterday). the agents in our neighborhoods hide their faces because they are losing. because they lost. when we win, there will be whistles from the gulls circling Lake Michigan. let them sing it: Chicago is a city of (today) & (tomorrow). Chicago is the future.

“Chicago is the future.“
