The 6 conservatives on the court weren’t appointed there because they were brilliant legal minds.

They were chosen because they were good enough, and conservative hacks.

He’s been pretty great till recently, but it’s been depressing seeing him authorize the Illinois State Police to attack protesters at the ICE facility in suburban Chicago

None of us are safe in this police state.

ICE drag girl out of car & body slam her to ground—then pin her face down & kneel on her neck.

"I'm 15!" she cries out. "I'm not resisting!"

Agents have now asked multiple area housing associations to unlock main doors—so they can go door to door.

ICE must be destroyed 🏳️‍⚧️🏴 @miawong.bsky.social · 3h

There's probably some historical precedent somewhere for ICE's strategy of arresting people's children for the sole purpose of drawing their parents out of hiding to come rescue them but I sure as fuck can't remember ever seeing anyone else do it

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

RIP Diane Keaton- such sad news, what an incredible talent. You probably didn't know she collected clown paintings by amateur artists, eventually publishing an entire book devoted to them

RIP Tony Fitzpatrick. Taught me so much about what it means to love a place so much that you become one with it. A truly singular Chicago artist.

This is awful news:

Tony Fitzpatrick, a Chicago artist in many realms, has died at 66

He had recently published a new book, “The Sun at the End of the Road,” filled with his distinctive art, poetry and prose. Some consider it a memoir.

Just today, here's a story from the @chicago.suntimes.com -- not only are ICE/feds masking themselves constantly (and some local cops too, I've seen it), now they're driving around without license plates. More "laws for thee, whatever I wanna do for me" in action chicago.suntimes.com/news/2025/10...

Federal immigration officers wear masks, no name tags — now some drive cars without license plates

The Sun-Times has documented four unmarked cars carrying federal officers without required plates, offering another way to shield their identities. Federal officials say they’re meeting regulations.

It is disconcerting to go outside to walk your dog and hear a helicopter overhead while the secret police kidnap your neighbors.

I’m not saying that Kristi Noem bathes in the blood of the people they’ve stolen in her quest to remain forever young.

I also cannot rule it out, however.

One of the key differences between ICE and vampires is that ICE prefers to attack during the day.

Both groups, however, are ruled by monstrous Vampire lords and will happily destroy families.

Plan accordingly.
