MYTH: ICE agents lack proper training.

FACT: Most have been racists their entire lives.

What’s done is done though, we need to move forward with the understanding that we have an opposition that is opposed to pluralism as a concept.

Nice country we have here. I REFUSE to fear these fucking imbeciles! FUCK THEM! They are cowards! They are so afraid of us, they have to hit an innocent woman with their car, then drag her out. A WOMAN!

FUCKING. COWARDS!
Don’t fear them! There are more of us than them!

“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)

I agree that you must create leverage. I think there should be an evaluation of whether state police can enforce federal law, and if so, then state police should escort members of Congress to ICE facilities to demand inspections. By law, they are required to be let in without notice.

Donald Trump can threaten to arrest Gov. JB Pritzker if he wants — but Dem Govs are going to keep standing up against Trump’s illegal abuses of power.

They aren’t backing down.

Look we could post some quippy response to this but I’m fine to let the GOP elite look at falling polling numbers & growing internal dissension over their overreach and decide the best response is “do some pushups.” Like ok man you sound like a 9-year-old & the voters kind of hate it.

Peter Thiel is trying to lobby followers of Supply Side Jesus to become pro-big tech and AI. I think he realizes his influence is waning as Elon Musk becomes persona non grata compared to Bannon, Miller, and white/christian supremacists.

That’s my take anyways. He’s smart & evil.

A meme by Specific-Ad2300 on PritzkerPosting with the title, “Illinois Governor JB Pritzker is forced to watch as ketchup is put on a hot dog in war-torn Chicago circa 2025.”

It’s a photoshopped scene of people holding JB Pritzker down while he’s forced to watch someone putting ketchup on a hot dog

Interesting point, I wonder why 🤔

PritzkerPosting @pritzkerposting.bsky.social · 1d

Trump’s dementia as a tactic, anti-corruption and delivering for the public as a long term strategy! That’s just my $0.02 though.

Pritzker warns ICE agents breaking the law that there will be consequences when Democrats regain power. It might take a few years for us to work through the courts, but your actions now are going to hurt you later.
