One thing I want you to take from videos like this is the absolute cacophony of whistles and screams of "GET THE FUCK OUT OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD" from people in the streets and in buildings. And more and more people are at that point every day.

Some Texas National Guard troops replaced in Illinois after failing to meet standards
"National Guard Soldiers and Airman are required to meet service-specific height, weight and physical fitness standards at all times," the National Guard Bureau said on Thursday.
NICHOLAS SLAYTON, JEFF SCHOGOL UPDATED OCT 12, 2025 2:54 PM EDT

The Texas Military Department has removed an unspecified number of National Guard troops deployed to Chicago for not being "in compliance" with its validation process.
A spokesperson for the Texas Military Department confirmed to Task & Purpose that "a small group" of the 200 National Guard members sent to Illinois this past week have been replaced after they were found to not meet certain standards. The move came amid criticism on social media over pictures that showed some of the Guard members appearing to be overweight, and as an appeals court temporarily blocked the deployment of the Texan troops into Illinois.

Chicago journalist Debbie Brockman, who was thrown to the ground & handcuffed by ICE, has been released without charges

DHS said she assaulted an officer, but eye witnesses claim she didn’t

The lack of charges makes it clear that ICE is lying to try and cover up the fact that they attack the press

Nope.

If you're wrongfully imprisoned for four decades and are cleared and released, YOU GET TO FUCKING STAY HERE. PERIOD.

These fucking people are unconscionable.

Lynn Becker @cmgiulini.bsky.social · 1d

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him

(Please advise as to whether "lapsed Unitarian" is a quality description of a guy who pretty much knows for a solid fact that God exists -- matter cannot be created or destroyed, matter that blew up in Big Bang came from somewhere, QED PDQ -- but leaves the finer details to senior management.)

We say goodbye to iconic actress Diane Keaton.

A true original of the silver screen, the Oscar-winning screen legend stole our hearts with her quirky charm and took our breath away with her bold choices as a searing dramatic actress.

Our thoughts are with her family and friends.

Mt. 25:31-46.

I'm a lapsed Unitarian for God's sake. And my wife gets really annoyed when I refer to my faith at all as I haven't set foot in a church in years.

But I can *read.*

There are a handful of parts of the Gospels that basically give you the whole ballgame. This... is one of them.

What a fucking embarrassing thing to have to do. ICE should obviously quit their jobs, but I would quit so fast if I had to turn away a bunch of nuns trying to provide the sacraments.

Outside of the Broadview ICE facility, a state trooper tells the delegation attempting to have communion with detainees that ICE has denied their request.

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

Abbott activates emergency resources ahead of growing wildfire threat, flood risk in Texas

With expected growing wildfire danger across Texas and the potential for a flood risk this weekend, Gov. Greg Abbott is activating more state emergency response resources Friday.

I'm not convinced that this is good or bad. A bit of both.

#BREAKING The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals PARTIALLY grants the stay sought by the Trump Administration.

The stay is GRANTED as to federalization of the National Guard.

But it is DENIED as to deployment.

So deployment still BLOCKED, but troops "do not need to return to their home states."
