Non-combat units are still expected to pass basic gun safety training, though, right? I hope the guy’s commander sees this.

What, this doesn’t make you feel safer? 😬

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Tweet from @laura_n_rod Text: A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them. Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area. Photo: shows a federal agent in a truck pointing a gun

Another incident of federal agents pointing guns at Chicago area residents.

I finished my tour of the Tac Armory today and I can’t wait until I get to go play/ make art!

There are ghosts, I’m told, but it’s okay because they’re “happy ghosts.” 😁

There’s also so many spaces to collaborate and No, Mine! Studios will be allowed to host events!

If you’re in ACE, say hi! ❤️

Chat is it a bad sign when the federal government wants the right to treat all journalists covering a protest as participants in said protest for the purposes of dispersal and arrest

"hand-to-hand combat with antifa every night"

Governor Whitmer was almost kidnapped by armed thugs. Governor Shapiro‘s house was set on fire. Nancy Pelosi‘s husband was violently attacked by someone looking for her. Melissa Hortman was assassinated in her home with her husband and dog…and now this. The left is the victim, not the perpetrator.

As a retired US Navy vet, if you are ordered to invade US homes, break their doors, zip-tie kids? - and you do that? YOu should read up on Neuremberg because those are NOT lawful orders, and you should be fucking ashamed of yourselves. Your families shoulid be ashamed of you. Stand the fuck up.

Portland Frog updates about getting pepper sprayed in his fan intake 🐸🫡

Gov. Pritzker: "[ICE is] just picking up people who are brown and black and then checking their credentials. I don't know about you, but I don't carry around papers that say I'm a U.S. citizen. So U.S. citizens are getting detained and arrested."

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

My message to Kristi Noem is clear: Get out of Chicago.

YouTube video by Juno Beavis and Butthead: This sucks, change it

When my migraines hit, my vision is impacted first (zigzag light patterns, usually followed by spots/ static). It’s like watching TV with an antenna but not being allowed to adjust the rabbit ears or change the channel.

Red lobster finger puppet on a laptop keyboard. The lobster is propped up against the screen; an orange mechanical pencil is in the puppet’s arms. Some rough sketches can be seen on the screen.

And after 2 hours, I’m up to 3 pages drafted, due in large part to intermittent lobster puppet fights.

Doing a mini Comics Day challenge with the teen. Teen: 4 pages drafted. Me: 1 page drafted. #10HourComics

The original Audacity logo looks like Gwi-Ma (from K Pop Demon Hunters) wearing headphones.

The Audacity logo now looks like a saucy penguin — it just needs eyes.

I like it for the wrong reasons.

In order for the United States to become a party to the International Criminal Court and have our officials be subject to trial at The Hague, the US Senate would need to ratify the Rome statute by a two-thirds vote. Let’s start running on that.

Attn Black people, stop scrolling.

This is not a drill: Chicago

I said what I said.

I just got some really exciting news for the studio’s future! ❤️ Going to wait until I get confirmation that it’s ok to blab first. Eeeeee!

Thread of Portlands being amazingly and beautifully unhinged while protesting ICE

ICE Agents Rappel from Helicopter in Overnight Chicago Raid, Dragging Kids from Beds to U-Hauls Overnight on Tuesday, Sept. 30, federal agents from different agencies raided an apartment building on the South Side of Chicago, pulling men, women and children — some of them allegedly naked — from ...

Reminder:
Homan is on tape taking $50,000 in cash to 'help' with government contracts.

He just sent in 300 armed agents to pull children from their beds at night, zip tie them, separate them from their parents, and put them in vans because he's "going after criminals."

Remembering how the media reported that the Trump campaign not only denied intent to follow Project 2025, but insisted that anyone associated would be barred from the administration.

@politico.com had a big piece about it.

Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated' The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

Federal goons in combat gear smashed through South Shore like it was Fallujah, ripping kids naked from their mothers, zip tying citizens, trashing apartments and calling it justice. This is not law enforcement. It is collective punishment dressed up as immigration policy.

Thank you for your email. There is a temporary shutdown of the U.S. government due to a lapse in appropriations. I will respond to your message as soon as possible after the temporary shutdown ends. Please visit ED.gov for the latest information on the Department's operational status. Thank you.

Thank you for contacting me. On September 19, 2025, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 5371, a clean continuing resolution. Unfortunately, Democrat Senators are blocking passage of H.R. 5371 in the Senate which has led to a lapse in appropriations. Due to the lapse in appropriations I am currently in furlough status. I will respond to emails once government functions resume.

NEW—US Department of Education sent out standard Out of Office language to employees on Wednesday in light of shutdown. Later yesterday, workers tell me they found someone had updated their auto-responses without consent to a new one blaming Democrats.
