I don't know who needs to hear this, but:

The enemy of your enemy may **not** be your friend, but you should absolutely let them attack your enemy instead of trying to remind everyone why he's not your friend and cannot be trusted.

You are not truly free until you can take a dump on the street if you felt like it. No impediments. No consequences.

Yeah it's "freedom means freedom to be my authentic self: racist asshole" approach to libertarianism. Basically refusing to live in a society.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. 

It wasn’t the feds —  it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

“For more than three hours, correctional officers can be seen walking past his cell while he lay on the floor in obvious distress.

The jail nurse was not called until a female guard noted he was foaming at the mouth and having seizure-like activity.”

You would not fire these people—including the staff of the hugely, HUGELY important 'Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report'—if you cared at all about public health, if you wanted people to live.

And you would not let your thuggish henchmen fire people like this if you were a responsible president.

More street vendors taken by ICE today, according to rapid response team & neighborhood reports.

Masked men arrested one of Pilsen’s longtime tamal vendors near Damen and 21st Pl, by Chase.

Those ladies are very loved by the community. I bought tamales from her many times.

Those are three people in inflatable frog suits.
@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. photo of three people in inflatable frog costumes

Multiple Chicago schools went on lockdown today because of ICE, including my son’s and the one I’m on the council of. Spent the last two hours standing outside, trying to make sure nothing happens to these kids. This is horrible.

The courts won’t save us. Use them, sure, but to think that they will be enough is a reassuring illusion unhinged from the reality of what’s coming and what’s needed to stop it.

Who remembers when the MSM and Megyn Kelly tried to pretend she was "one of the good ones" for a while to justify giving her a massive payday.

She's back shoveling right-wing manure now, with a giant NBC nest egg.
