the IDF and make Hasbara in the world

As a Zionist I was always suspicious of Arabs, because they were not loyal to the state

This changed a few years ago, in 2020. I remember going into a tour in East Jerusalem organised by the Peace Now movement

I was in the Silwan neighbourhood which is (2/8)

ICE is tear gassing schools

Embiid's first shift is seven minutes, which is a significant chunk of his 20-minute restriction. But looks to be moving much better than he was in Boston, especially as that game progressed.

it's important to remember the people doing this aren't "just following orders," they signed up to do this, they're excited to do it, it's what they want to be doing, and each one of them is personally culpable for the entirety of ICE's conduct

A very disturbing video has emerged from today’s ICE/CBP operations in Avondale.

An officer pushes a woman to the ground, prompting bystanders to react angrily and throw what appears to be a rock at a moving unmarked vehicle.

This seems to be the new normal in Chicago.

Ah, locals mention the federal court order here, which also requires agents to wear some identification.

Also, quite an image in here: masked, fully-geared-out DHS agents getting screamed at in a residential neighborhood by some dude who is barefoot and in pajama pants.

Tweet by Adrian @blagojevism: Should Chicago revive this evil Wagnerian goddess with her terrifying motto, "I WILL," as our municipal diety? [over 3 images of a white woman bearing a crown from which emerges a phoenix. This symbol was chosen by Chicago civic types to represent the will to rebuild after the Chicago fire. In the main picture she beckons towards you with a disturbingly flat stare]

What a giant statue of her would look like, over the bascule bridges of downtown Chicago, with what looks like the Wrigley Building in the background

If the Trump admin's goal is to foment a Chicago nationalist movement that prioritizes Chicagoan identity above and increasingly at odds with American identity, they're succeedding.

If the stuff happening in Chicago were happening in New York City it would be on every television on earth right now

Video from witness here from the moment CBP gassed neighbors who had gathered outside after the kidnapping.

Agent rolls a canister at the crowd out of the window of their car as they reverse away from people with whistles and bikes.

I rewatched some LotR on this flight, and man, I never fully noticed how little juice everyone has in this war. Ring doesn't do anything, Gandalf's magic barely detectable, Sauron's not even a guy. Replacement-level fantasy army owns Middle-Earth in 48 hours. I take no pleasure in reporting this

Feds detain Laugh Factory night manager, deploy tear gas in nearby neighborhood • The TRiiBE At least three people were detained in separate instances in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood; among them was a Laugh Factory night manager.

Lakeview Street Tear-Gassed By Agents Amid North Side Immigration Surge: 'It Hit Home' Friday's detentions and standoff marked the most high-profile federal activity in Lakeview and Lincoln Park yet, leaving some neighbors shaken.

Invasion escalated

“They pushed him into the corner of a doorway, and they were beating him,” Safter said. “His face was bleeding. It was really disturbing. We were screaming at them to stop, to show their faces, to say their names. They just kept recording us and flashing badges.”

The Knicks have worn white in both of their home games to start the season.

Give them the championship.

Zeteo traveled to Chicago for a first-hand look at the president's militarized crackdown on one of America’s great cities.

Over two years later and Adams just kept doing this the whole time

We are not a Sanctuary City, except to the extent the people defy Federal, State, and Municipal law enforcement. And they *are* defying it. Pritzker and Johnson had the option to do nothing. But they chose to intervene for Trump.

Eastern conference standings, but all the teams have only played one game so the top teams are very weird

I like the beginning of the season because it lets you imagine another world

BREAKING: Video shows Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino personally throwing two canisters of tear gas at protesters in Little Village in Chicago earlier this morning. Video via Yani Sotelo on Facebook. (Warning: Strong language)

In ICE’s expanding Chicago blitz, federal authorities are turning resistance into a crime. blockclubchi.co/42T7o6D

By gawd getting arrested by Kash Patel must be so humiliating. If only bc kash always looks like a guy who just blew the monthly mortgage payment on a three team parlay

We’re out here destroying the White House, but don’t worry: we arrested the head coach of the Portland Trail Blazers and also Terry Rozier for habits that this DOJ specifically enabled

Chicago-area companies raked in millions from the feds as Operation Midway Blitz intensified.

Oh my bad, I forgot that if he committed a rape then we should believe the FBI that he and others in the NBA were involved in a gambling conspiracy.

Or is that "stanning" the FBI and its director, both of which have no horrible allegations outside of this story.

Yeah, I hope you guys input that healthy dose of skepticism when writing about these charges.

It's obvs not far-fetched given the clearly problematic expansion of sports gambling and the stuff from the last few years. But everything is in context of what this nation's cops and DOJ have been doing.

We're really going to just run with what the FBI says? Feels like people have been ignoring what's going on around them for months now.

Just fyi, this guy is about to give a press conference on the arrests of NBA personnel--

I'm not sure why everyone is regarding these charges as so credible this morning. These motherfuckers have long hated the NBA. I would need a lot of evidence from non-governmental sources to convince me the FBI isn't just using the l prior investigation as a pretext to arrest more of their enemies.

They saw the blazers almost beat the twolves and launched an investigation

Wtf

It is frustrating to know that the most notable Latino/a characters in comics were created by white men who currently campion ICE on social media. When they appear in a cartoon, those men get paid. When they appear in a movie, those men get tickets to the premiere. Every year a royalty check.
