Tell that to various weddings that were droned, too.

Obama's grotesque precedent is helping Trump and his boat murders today.

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.

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

Three persons in inflatable frog costumes. One of them is holding a nicely painted sign with two little cartoon frogs holding hands, below the text "FROGS TOGETHER STRONG"

a friend of mine in antifa told me that antifa's headquarters is SHEIN and if the company fell the whole network would fall

I deeply doubt it.

But if she did, good for her.

"the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa"

An image of Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music, twirling on an alpine meadow in a long Austrian skirt, next to an image of Christopher Plummer as Georg Von Trapp in the same movie, tearing a Nazi flag in half.

The passengers on the St. Louis would love to talk to FDR about his commitment to antifa.

Lucy Steigerwald @lucystag.bsky.social · 2d

Absolutely not.

As someone else said elsewhere, "the girlfriend of the founder of antifa" was Eleanor Roosevelt.

Ok, but at least take their money close to last of billionaires.

They might take you up on the trophies. Taylor definitely would.

Watching the way the Trump administration is using criminalization as a weapon ought to make clear how criminalization works even in normal times.

It's wild to live around lots of fancy art stuff named Frick, by the way, after the whole attempted assassination by Mr. Emma Goldman.

"There's no such thing as an ethical billionaire"

Ok, but an awful lot of the time, that just sounds like making Star Wars or star wars is morally equal.

If everything is the same flavor of bad, you're actually not critiquing the truly bad.

Is it because you think the pie is the same size

Will I ever be anarchist enough to believe that like George Lucas and Taylor Swift shouldn't get to keep their billions? Probably not.

Exactly. And if they were taxed 90 percent or whatever, gee, what wonders would the government bestow upon us with that?

More propaganda with painfully normal people zip-tied at the side of the road please, this will for sure convince the American people that you're the good guys

WSJ reports that DOJ is going to charge John Bolton.

In case you needed anyone less sympathetic to rally behind than Jim Comey.

www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Prosecutors in Maryland are expected in coming days to charge one of Trump’s first-term national security advisers, John Bolton, now a top Trump critic, with mishandling classified information, according to people familiar with the matter.

At least a thousand but most likely more folks marching in Chicago to protest the deployment of the National Guard and continued ICE raids. Chanting "whose city our city!"
