Armed officers in military-style gear confront a group of civilians during a tense outdoor standoff; one officer points a rifle at a young man who raises his hands defensively while others shout in the background, with trees and houses visible behind them.

This is Chicago, armed fascist thugs pointing guns at unarmed US citizens.

“They call us raging rebels, say the city’s lost control But all I saw were dancers turning pepper spray to gold
They wanted rage for ratings, fire they could frame But laughter broke the narrative — they couldn’t play the same” #NoKings #ResistFascism youtu.be/anVROJ9_5kY

Social post by Donald J. Trump that says: 'Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also!'

The President of the United States calling for the imprisonment of elected officials with no legal basis should alarm everyone, regardless of party.

Many historians assert that the fall into fascism is often quite mundane for *most* people outside of the scapegoated groups and formal opposition, because fascists exploit the fact that many people are willing to turn a blind eye to the suffering of others if *their* life remains relatively normal.

Well done to whoever did this

Northeast secession when?

Why is the rent so damn high in LA? Simple economics: the demand for housing is extremely high and our housing supply is extremely low.

Last week Trump said he likes the idea of starting a war so he can declare “no more elections” and stay in office forever.

Today he just said “a lot of people” want “a dictator.”

See where this is going?

Genuinely incredible that she's saying this with 2 accused rapists on either side of her

Every city in America should shut down its Main Street every weekend and play jazz and let you have a glass of wine

Yes, this IS absolute madness.

This times a million

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe.

Will we listen to his words today?

“Say the line, Josh.”

*sigh*

Imagine if a democrat spoke this way about anyone.

Very good work. Read it and act.

I’m here in MacArthur Park in Los Angeles, where military style vehicles have pulled up down Wilshire and Alvarado, amid rumors of an ICE raid in the park have proliferated since last night

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

I love my Hyundai Ioniq 5! Highly recommend

Imagine being against gay marriage when it’s literally just this

Take note.

AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.

In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.

Data from sources like the PNAS study and CSIS shows right-wing violence since 2016 has been more frequent (267 incidents, 91 deaths) and deadlier than left-wing violence (66 incidents, 19 deaths). Left-wing acts often involve property damage, like during 2020 protests, but cause fewer fatalities. Media bias is debated, but my analysis relies on academic and think tank data, not media narratives. Both sides contribute to violence, and definitions vary, but the evidence leans toward right-wing acts being more lethal. 8:43 PM • 6/17/25 • 97 Views

Uh oh. He’s just going to have to shut this thing off.

People are gathering at Broadway and Duane (26 Federal Plaza) outside the building where Brad Lander was detained.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife.

While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE.

This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.
