It really is insane that working for ICE is a job people choose to have.

Like people legit wake up, and get ready to go to work at the Kidnapping Industrial Complex like it ain’t nothing.

Illinois law requires all registered vehicles to display front and back license plates, without exception. But to evade accountability, masked federal immigration agents are driving around in unmarked cars without plates.

Federal immigration officers wear masks, no name tags — now some drive cars without license plates

The Sun-Times has documented four unmarked cars carrying federal officers without required plates, offering another way to shield their identities. Federal officials say they’re meeting regulations.

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.

Evidently, President Trump got all the proof he needs that vaccines are safe and effective. He voted with his arm yesterday and got the highly beneficial Covid and flu shots. Amid the sea of confusion RFKJ has generated about vaccines, all Americans should know that Trump is getting vaccinated.

Renée Graham 🏳️‍🌈 @rygraham.bsky.social · 1d

Last month Trump said he wanted proof that COVID vaccines are effective. Yesterday, during his "semiannual" physical, Trump received a COVID vaccine as well as a flu shot.

That's because vaccines — which Trump's administration have made harder to get — work.

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.

A moose is standing in front of a still lake in a dark forest. A wolf is biting the hindleg of the moose, looking smug.

The moose looks at the wolf and grins in an evil manner, with huge sharp teeth. The wolf looks terrified.

They know they are ridiculous people and the thing they hate most is being laughed at. They want everyone terrified and intimidated by how MANLY and LETHAL they are, not laughing because they got got by a grating frog.

This video is everywhere because it's a hilarious visual refutation of Portland being on fire. You can't get a mass movement going without convincing the masses

Portland is leading the way. This is how you (non violently) beat Fascism. Humor and ridicule are key.

As terrible as everything is right now, I find some comfort in Mother Nature's stunning beauty. Today was a picture perfect morning to shoot the setting moon.

A thread for your viewing pleasure.

Please be kind to each other. We need kindness and empathy now more than ever. Speak up if you're in a position to / have privilege to do so, and don't accept that what's going on is normal. It is NOT.

And try to find a moment of peace in your day, somewhere, somehow.

All my love,
me
