Yes, and re the latter point, it's a good time to consider if you and yours belong to the group that the law protects but does not bind, or if you're w the vast majority that the law binds but does not protect.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Lol, I assumed it was an autocorrect error! Yeah, it's Kenny but fun to imagine a parallel Earth where he was named Kennedy.

Downtown could have "like, a 10-foot wall" where people could talk to AI versions of historical figures. "How cool would this be if we had like, a 10 foot wall. It's interactive and it's historical. And you could talk to Martin Luther King."...

This sounds incredibly disrespectful. But Bruce Harrell being a "let's put AI everywhere and replace human artists" candidate doesn't surprise me.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov Are you asking people to film because you are going to help hold ICE accountable? Or are people filming for history classes, for students in other countries to be able to write papers on how democracies fail, while the people who believed in your leadership work in camps?

Yeah, this is disturbing.

Harrell is dangerous to have in office rn. Helping remove restrictions on cops using pepper balls and tear gas, & installing mass surveillance systems, is not doing us any favors when we fall under the gaze of the regime. Also, forcing us all to unmask without a CDC? Ugh.

A small number of demonstrators attempted to protest/march in the street.

Massive number of ISP troopers in riot gear responded by blocking 25th, threatening arrest, shouting into megaphone about an unlawful assembly.

Dem Governors have more control over trade than they understand.

70% of international trade is running through the black dots. Most of the biggest sea ports, and most proximal to water.

@jbpritzker.bsky.social could easily order ISP to just stay away from DHS/ICE facilities. It's a deliberate choice for ISP to be there providing crowd control for federal goons.

He's talked a good game but talk is cheap, and his actions are just as bad as every other elected Dem leader.

What's the point of blue states staying connected to a federal government that doesn't fund anything good for the citizens, but instead funds human rights abuses of blue state citizens?

DGMunster 🎃 @davidgmontoya.bsky.social · 18h

The demands of Democratic "leaders" like @schumer.senate.gov are inadequate. The US is a sinking fascist ship and Democrats are like, "Let me patch up these holes so your ship can float longer."

The demands do not acknowledge the severity of the situation. This is a show. We're being played.

I know not everyone is who they thought they would be under a fascist, authoritarian regime. That's okay. But it's time to do more than react and post about it. It's time to get organized—including mapping or creating lines of support and defense in your community.
