I have witnessed this in person in a county jail in Georgia. We lost our own visitation with our families one weekend for protesting to get medical care for a woman recently arrived. The guards said she was "faking" it but we didn't care, we didn't want to see someone in that condition-real or not.

A lawsuit alleges a Black postal worker died after officers ignored clear signs he was suffering from a massive stroke, believing his medical emergency was drugs

The suit says guards left him helpless on a jail cell floor in his own urine for hours

Taps the “this administration is full of eugenicists so yes, they do want people to die” sign so hard it snaps and shards go scattering everywhere.

And yes, we saw it coming.

Okay.

I can’t go into too much detail, but Kiddo is in the middle of a major health scare.

We have a big doctor appointment on Tuesday for him.

Good energy, prayers, and pictures of your pets are all majorly appreciated. 💜

A meme styled like a social post. Top text says keep politics out of kids movies, then Disney in 1973. Below is a frame from the 1973 Disney Robin Hood: a young rabbit in a blue tunic and floppy brown hat with a red feather strides forward holding a wooden sword, smirking. On screen subtitle reads Death to tyrants. The joke contrasts the plea to avoid politics with a clearly political line in an older kids film.

@MrAndyNgo
Now that the local and national press have started to cover the Portland ICE area round-the-clock in reaction to the President, Antifa have devised a plan where they are encouraging one another to come in animal costumes.

The costumes serve the function of masking the violent extremism to make the direct action appear like a family-friendly gathering on camera, and to whitewash the past ultraviolence.

In 2019, Antifa devised a similar plot by giving out free "milkshakes" at a protest. But they couldn't contain their bloodthirst and nearly killed me when they saw me. In 2020, they mobilized a fake "Wall of Moms" where female Antifa supporters and members wore yellow shirts to act as human body shields while violent rioters behind them hurled projectile weapons.

Red poster has a black cartoon style drawing of an Anarchy flag. It's inside a circle, the border of the circle is a thick solid black with the words "Neurodivergent Antifascists".

you'd think a prominent news outlet like the New York Times might mention that "antifa" isn't an actual organization in a long story about antifa, but nope!

and the subhead helps props up a false claim this professor was up to something seedy as something up for debate

NYT headline: "Rutgers Expert on Antifa Tries to Flee to Spain After Death Threats"

subheadline: "Mark Bray was teaching courses on antifascism. Turning Point USA accused him of belonging to antifa, which he denies. His flight to Spain was canceled abruptly on Wednesday night."

This is a remarkable document. here is a mayor restricting her constituents’ first amendment rights to (checks notes) protect them from (checks notes) the federal (really?) government.

New: Broadview, IL Mayor Katrina Thompson issued an executive order today - her first this year - limiting protest outside the Broadview ICE facility to between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.

The order cites "recent escalation of violence by ICE" at the facility as reason to restrict protest there.
