What's happening in Chicago is not normal.

The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

Hey artists, today Aaron confirmed that all images on Bsky are run through the hive AI system for content moderation.

That means literally any art you post here is going to be fed into the slop generator.

An Andrew Tate and Charlie Kirk fan just murdered two teenage girls. In a livestream now taken down he claimed they had made fun of Charlie Kirk's death.

This is the real world consequences of the hate and misogyny the right promotes while claiming the left is violent.

Yet another White, young, 17yo, far right male stalked, harassed then killed two 17yo girls,Maria Niotis & Isabella Salas,for β€œtalking shit” about Charlie Kirk.

Police ignored the harassment.

Complicit in tyranny, MSM continually ignores persistent, escalating violence by far right extremists.

This is getting coverage because of the Kirk motivation but it's worth noting that this boy harassed this girl for years and used AI to create nude images of his underage classmates that he then used to harass them.

Of course, the police did nothing until he killed two people.

Laurie and Richard Eckman are both 84 years old.

He’s a Vietnam veteran, standing with his walker and wearing his service cap and federal officers rushed them.

That image alone says everything about where we are as a country right now.

Federal agents knock down elderly couple during Portland protest An 84-year-old said she sustained a concussion and was hit with a projectile after she and her husband, a Vietnam vet, were knocked down by federal officers.

🚨Richard Eckman, 84, a Vietnam war veteran, and his wife Laurie Eckman, also 84, held signs at a rally in Portland then marched to protest the ICE facility. The Eckmans say federal officers rushed at them β€œfor no apparent reason," knocking the couple to the ground.

Just a reminder that authoritarians use the vulnerabilities of liberal democracy against itself, including concepts of "free speech" and the "healthy exchange of ideas."

They do not value these things. They are not sincerely held principles. They're cudgels and they will erase them once in power.

Acting as judge, jury, and executioner against civilian vessels would lead to war crimes charges with nearly any other country’s leader.
