JFC. These idiots used the PIT maneuver ON A GODAMNED RESIDENTIAL STREET!!

And then shot tear gas ON A RESIDENTIAL GODAMNED STREET.

For reference, Chicago PD aren’t allowed to do this maneuver. Why?

Because it spins cars into things like other cars, houses, people…

Incredible photo from @chicago.suntimes.com ‘s Anthony Vazquez. Pointing what looks to be a teargas launcher at someone’s head at nearly point blank range is incredibly dangerous. This is why I prefer a ballistic helmet in the field.

Feds ram SUV in chase down residential street in Chicago, then tear-gas crowd

The crash happened late Tuesday morning near 105th Street and Avenue N on Chicago's East Side, resulting in dozens of residents showing up to protest the federal immigration agents.

"At the end of the day, if you're born a bloke, you're going to men's prison and we'll deal with you there."

So that's where we are in Australia. Everybody knows what she means here. She means that trans women get raped with government approval. That's how they "deal with us" in men's prisons.

More on the horrifying new policy of the NT Government, to send trans women to men's prisons, exposing them to significant risk of violence and sexual assault. #ntpol

Advocates condemn NT leader's comments on trans women in female prisons

The Northern Territory government has doubled down on its stance against detaining transgender women in female prisons, as a local LGBTQIA+ group says it is "horrified" by the comments.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

Months before catastrophic floods swept through an Alaska Native village on Sunday, the Trump administration canceled a $20 million grant meant to protect the community from extreme flooding. At the time, the EPA administrator said he was eliminating "wasteful DEI and Environmental Justice grants."

E.P.A. Canceled $20 Million Flood Protection Grant to Alaska, Parts of Which Just Flooded

The remote village of Kipnuk planned to use the money to protect against flooding. On Sunday, it was inundated.

A musician, Oriana Korol, was peacefully playing clarinet with her protest band outside ICE facilities in Portland, OR.

When the band started playing “Ghostbusters,” ICE thugs suddenly poured outside, slammed her into the mud, arrested her and took her to a jail 9 miles away in Vancouver, WA.

Korol is a US citizen. Her family hasn’t heard from her since she was taken, public charges haven’t been released—what crime did she even commit? 2nd-Degree Woodwinding?—and there has been no explanation for her “renditioning” across state lines.

We’ve moved into a new phase of Trump lawlessness.

And it's a final short thread @wingsndnsilver.bsky.social with tonight's local urgent needs, and there are many that I need to sort through, but I can't tonight. These need immediate help, though:

Now, tonight's local urgent needs.

I have to make a list of the ones I know are still active, which is going to take time that I haven't had, and won't have, honestly, for the rest of the year. I'll just have to steal it from something else.

But I can't tonight.

Remember when Stephen Miller claimed the Chicago apartment raid was on a building “filled with Tren de Aragua terrorists”?

Well, DHS has now dropped the number of alleged TdA members arrested in the building from 2 to 1.

Just one "verified" Tren de Aragua member and one U.S. citizen with an active warrant were among the 37, DHS said, without saying how it had verified that gang affiliation. Others taken that day, the agency said, were "illegal aliens."

We got zero donations on this today. Let’s help this family stay housed. They’re stressed right out and need the help. Please consider small donation. They add up. I’m hoping I can give them some good news tomorrow. Keep sharing. Someone out there might be able to help.

Hey everyone. I’m really busy this week but I wanted to help a friend raise their late rent money. They’re having a really hard time as a single parent. They need $600 or will face eviction on the 23rd. Anything helps. They’re trying not to end up in a shelter. PayPal/e-transfer [email protected]
