I feel really guilty being so far away from Chicago right now. I know there's not much I could do even if I was there, but just whistling and yelling mean things at ICE would be something.

If you ever considered yourself a small-government republican and then voted for Trump, sorry, you're actually a white nationalist now. Congrats

Man I know it really doesn't matter but we should all be screaming about this at our Trump-voting relatives when we see them.

Wild to see so many of the awful Broadview pictures go viral now when they happened weeks ago. Feels like maybe we should have some major newspapers that report and show things as they happen??

I was 2 stops away from a major station! Just run the train there instead of stopping at a smaller station right before!

Brad @ameritoon.bsky.social · 10d

I am once again confused about Tokyo's last train runs of the night.

What do you mean I have to go 4 stops out of my way just to get home 45 minutes after I left my destination?

moments ago: pandemonium.

a huge mass of border patrol agents, led by greg bovino, pushed the crowd of protesters and started grabbing people at random.

leading up to this, folks were just calmly standing in the grass, following isp’s orders.

multiple people detained. no clue how many.
