A federal judge has ordered that ICE cannot use rubber bullets or other “less lethal ammo” directly on protesters at the Broadview ICE facility.

Good.

Now arrest and charge the agents who shot the priest in the head and the woman in her car.

Stop letting them get away with it.

This is Clio. She did not study for the test today. Also does not know how to read. 12/10 (IG: paspastotoro)

a black and gray long-haired yorkiepoo sits at a desk in a university classroom. a piece of paper lays on the desk in front of her, her paws propped up on the desk as if she's bracing herself. there are students in the background hunched over and working on paper in front of them. the pup looks at the camera with a concerned side eye. she's realizing she probably should have read some of the homework before eating it.

This briefly hit local news following his arrest but, thanks to court record requests and some digging, we were able to confirm Pyles’ affiliation with the neo-Nazi group Goyim Defense League.
