2. Totally reforming entire government to root out corruption and abuse of power so this bullshit never happens again

3. At some point you’d imagine, brunch

Chris Christie: “Thie is no longer, the Department of Justice, is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. That’s what it is.”

After commenters deriding the appearance of TX NG troops made photos of their deployment to Chicago go viral, the Texas Military Department quietly recalled and replaced them

For their appearance.

They didn’t send the Guard to serve.
They sent them to be seen.

JD Vance just admitted something amazing

This clip is not getting nearly enough oxygen, so I have to share it with you so we can then laugh at Vance, and celebrate the fact that this dude is likely to be the Republican candidate in 2028.

How about 12 million Americans protesting on Saturday. That’s 3.5 percent of our population…and the beginning of a real response to the authoritarian disease.

"Authoritarianism, it's a cancer. The symptoms are here, today... We thought it couldn't happen here... and now the disease is growing, metastasizing in America. But there is a cure—it requires you. On October 18, Americans will stand up, peacefully, for what makes America, America." nokings.org

ICE is all over the city and burbs today, including Waukegan. Multiple reports on social media from people who have found empty work vans and are trying to locate family of their owners. This is a near daily occurrence now.

In the past week, a White pastor was shot in the face with a pepper ball and a White reporter was handcuffed and detained by federal officers.

Congratulations, America.

Everybody's Black & Brown now.

ICE in Chicago detained two people (that we know of) for filming them today, a cyclist and a neighborhood rapid responder. This in addition to tear gassing another neighborhood and brandishing weapons at rapid response—both things that have also already been going on for weeks.
