Clearly someone who grew up here, she has no accent; really want to know what was going on here. Looks like they were following her already at the start of the video. Why?

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

“The surest way to screw up the world’s best technical school is to let feds tell them how to run it,” Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie wrote on X. “Congrats to my alma mater for turning down a bribe to let the executive branch dictate what happens on its campus.”

I wrote a book about January 6, 2021.

Want to know when the Trump administration began its systematized lying about antifa and the FBI being behind MAGAs' attack on the Capitol?

January 6, 2021.

Rudy Giuliani had a suite at the Willard Hotel that was the command center for broadcasting that lie.

"Velshi" on MSNBC @velshimsnbc.bsky.social · 15h

"That's not what the vast majority of the country wants when they talk about the fact that they want stronger borders," says @radleybalko.bsky.social of ICE's aggressive tactics caught on videos online. They are "an extremely powerful tool." #Velshi

Caught on camera: ICE tactics intensify despite disturbing videos surfacing across the U.S.

What does “minimum force” really look like? New videos surface showing ICE agents making arrests in broad daylight, near schools, in front of children, and on busy streets. The videos show federal agents intensifying their aggressive tactics in America’s big cities. Writer Radley Balko says, "The fact that we all have a camera in our pockets, and we have instant access to share these videos with the world, is an extremely powerful tool… These videos are having an effect."

If I’m reading this right — and I’m not 100% sure I am, given the split order — this would appear to bar Trump from *using* the National Guard in Illinois, but not prevent the Texas National Guard from being deployed to Illinois at the base they’re currently in. They don’t have to go home yet.

Jon Seidel @jonseidel.bsky.social · 14h

#BREAKING The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals PARTIALLY grants the stay sought by the Trump Administration.

The stay is GRANTED as to federalization of the National Guard.

But it is DENIED as to deployment.

So deployment still BLOCKED, but troops "do not need to return to their home states."
