Dra. Evita Desastre

I’m. So. Tired.

I don’t just want you to pay attention to Chicago because I want you to understand our plight. I want you to see how hard people are fighting and know wtf you’re made of. We’re not just fighting for this place. This is for all of us.

This resonates.

Pritzker is also furious: “Should National Governors Association leadership choose to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.”

Either you're against fascism, or you're foolish enough to believe it won't come for you.

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

JUST IN: Chicago journalistsa re suing DHS and ICE over force used against reporters:

Elon Musk and Stephen Miller both tweeted against judges today.

A South Carolina judge's house burned down and almost killed her family.

Harmeet Dhillon (DOJ) publicly targeted this judge on Twitter a couple weeks ago.

This guy was facing such an imminent threat that he even had time to take off his rifle and sling it over his back. Six seconds. I don't think he was dealing with an imminent threat.

People paid for the streets. They have a legal right to be there.

Mark Kelly: “lf you are undocumented in our country, you cannot get healthcare from the Affordable Care Act exchange. You are not eligible for Medicare. You are not eligible for Medicaid. They’re just making that up. They just like to blame brown people.”

These people were enslaved as laborers for a call center soliciting church donations in case you’re wondering the exact level of where we went wrong as a human species

"Fuck ICE" is a patriotic sentiment. Perhaps the most patriotic in this moment.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

“They asked for a sword, and we said, ‘Well, we do have swords, but we can’t give them away because they’re museum artifacts,’” said Todd Arrington, forced to resign as head of Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library.”

Attn Black people, stop scrolling.

This is not a drill: Chicago

ICE is too dangerous to be left unaccountable.
Violence & abuse against Americans is wrong.

If you see an incident occurring, get out your cellphone. Document it. Send it to your Congressperson and the press. Do it anonymously if you need to. #BeTheChange

Here’s what we know about the lynching Trey Reed:

1) he was hit on the back of the head, and had multiple contusions.

2) he was strangled manually and then hung from the tree

3) he had an altercation with 4 white students in defense of his sister, who had posted something about Charlie Kirk

White House official inadvertently reveals plans to send elite army unit to Portland Anthony Salisbury displayed chat about deployment of 82nd airborne division on cell phone while in Minnesota

New Signal leak just dropped!
Trump admitted that he is aware that there is no violent craziness going on there, so the only reasons to bring in an elite force are: 1. Photo op. 2. Intimidation. 3. To create a conflict where there isn’t one as the backdrop for a larger escalation.

I think it’d be funzies to use drones to project religious extremists’ sins directly onto the walls of their places of worship for the neighbors to see. You know, since religious extremists are so focused on the “sins” of their neighbors.

Dear Dartmouth community. As many of you know, Dartmouth was one of nine universities asked by the White House to give feedback by Oct. 20 on a draft of its "Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education." SHARE THIS f x» I am deeply committed to Dartmouth's academic mission and values and will always defend our fierce independence. You have often heard me say that higher education is not perfect and that we can do better. At the same time, we will never compromise our academic freedom and our ability to govern ourselves. Best, Sian Leah Beilock President

Unless I’m misreading, this short statement actually seems equivocal or at best a placeholder. It does not say they are refusing, and to the contrary seems to hold the door open.

Everything is too expensive and you can be kidnapped off the streets or shot by a bigot at any moment; you can't go to the doctor or get a vaccine or read certain books or learn history or speak a language other than English but hey at least a computer will drink a lake to talk to your kid for you

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

Those are my emotional support exclamation marks in every email I send.

Since MMJohnson can’t seem to not interrupt the reporter interviewing him, I think a good tactic would be for the news anchor to just have the little banner thingy say the truth across the front of the screen next to Mike’s head. “That is actually a lie - here is what the thing actually says”

YouTube video by MSNBC ‘F--- them kids’: ICE agents drag children out of bed, ransack Chicago building

According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an * entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago.

I am just so fucking proud of her.

It’s all so depressing

FYI Americans
Government shutdowns are not normal. No other developed country shuts down its government because it can’t agree on a budget. The previous year’s budget is just automatically extended until a new one is passed. If that doesn’t work, an election is called.
