In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

The right wing is coming for Wikipedia

The Heritage Foundation says it will "identify and target" Wikipedia editors over alleged bias. What does that mean for Wikipedia’s future?

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

@repstansbury.bsky.social: "This is gangster activity. The president is trying to shield pedophiles by calling and threatening members of Congress. We need more members of Congress, whether it's the Epstein files, the shutdown, health care, democracy, the rule of law, to just fucking do their jobs."

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

That’s how bad things are and you can trace the blame straight up the chain of command. 😳🤦‍♂️🤬

Outside of the Broadview ICE facility, a state trooper tells the delegation attempting to have communion with detainees that ICE has denied their request.

I’ll have to look you up when we visit in 2026. I’ll either be there for the Detroit Grand Prix, or WDC.

Ted @gtrbuff.bsky.social · 17h

I have memories there too. 😎

My mom owned the Mobil station at I-75 and 9 mile. Also, we used to go to a drug store in Ferndale that was just off Woodward, they marked down all their merchandise by 40% or something. That would have been in the early ‘70’s.

I’ve come back for the Woodward Dream Cruise in 2023 and 2024. We stay in Birmingham off old Woodward. Usually eat at Loui’s pizza in Hazel Park ( it’s just as I remember it! ) or at a deli, The Embers off Lasher road and Maple.
We also dine at some of the new places in Birmingham.
