The man @jollygoodginger.bsky.social is in Chicago patrolling schools with Pilsen defence & Access trying to keep ICE from kidnapping parents and kids. They are looking for volunteers if ur in the Chicago area.

When Obama was president the right wing acted like masked government agents were coming to kidnap them and take all their rights away.

Then Republicans get elected and actually do that shit for real.

Definitely not law enforcement they couldn’t even put the handcuffs on properly! Also obstructing justice is plain BS!

Did anyone have a "Qatar Military Airbase in Idaho" on their Trump Bingo Card?

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

Venezuela has called on the UN Security Council for an emergency session over the US military buildup near its waters.

Caracas warned of a possible armed attack “in a very short time.”

Trump's "Swiss[Chinese]-made" watch grift can be traced back to a shell LLC with an address in a strip shopping center in Wyoming. The company also sells Viagra-laced “Male Enhancement Honey” products, which the FDA has warned Americans not to use.

CNN searched for the maker of the candidate’s new ‘Swiss-made’ timepieces. The search dead-ended in a Wyoming shopping center.

Left, right, center, or royalty. I don't care who they are. If they're in the Epstein files, hurting children, they need to face the consequences.

Try to imagine if federal agents under a Democratic administration had fired pepper balls at conservative clergy protesting--- let's just say --- abortion.

They've litigated and won Supreme Court cases over much less.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

(RNS) — Last month, the Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility and spread his arms wide. Adorned in all black and wearing a clerical collar, the pastor looked up at a group of masked, heavily armed ICE agents on the roof and began to pray.

“I invited them to repentance,” Black, a minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA), said in an interview. “I basically offered an altar call. I invited them to come and receive that salvation, and be part of the kingdom that is coming.”

But when Black began to lower his arms a few seconds later, the agents responded to his spiritual plea by firing pepper balls, or chemical agents that cause eye irritation and respiratory distress, video footage shows. One struck Black in the head, exploding into a puff of white pepper smoke and forcing him to his knees. Fellow demonstrators rushed to his aid, and as the pastor rubbed his face in pain, the agents continued to fire.

“We could hear them laughing,” Black said.

What do you want to bet his buddy Netanyahu calls off the peace deal now? I thought it may be a last ditch effort to get Trump the Nobel Prize.

With receipts. Bravo, Crimson.
