“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

British company MGI Engineering, founded by a former F1 engineer, will send SkyShark kamikaze drones to Ukraine in the coming weeks. With a 250 km range and 450 km/h top speed, each drone costs $67,000. A heavier strike UAV, TigerShark, is also in development as a cheaper alternative.

Was just at a neighborhood school at dismissal. Hundreds of people with whistles surrounding the school and stationed down every block making sure ICE doesn’t snatch anyone. The same is happening at all the schools around here. I love my neighborhood and I love Chicago.
