There was a $$$ reason why that particular apartment building in Chicago was targeted. #wellsfargo

Amano Jack @amano-jack.bsky.social · 7d

Just in case someone missed this detail:
Wells Fargo used the ICE orks to clear out a building of lawful residents to make a buck

Again, a military terror purge was carried out with naked children in handcuffs for the benefit of Wells Fargo execs

A corrupt corp that will bleat at any reciprocity

flipinidaho @flipinidaho.bsky.social · 8d

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

Shari @sharif64.bsky.social · 9d

This is a great point. Wondering what some of our State AG's think of this? Perhaps @maddow.msnbc.com @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com @msnbc.com @briefingwithpsaki.bsky.social @allinwithchris.bsky.social @michaelsteele.bsky.social @weissmann.substack.com @joycewhitevance.bsky.social can investigate

Greg Olear @gregolear.bsky.social · 9d

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

Looking forward to attending this

Shari @sharif64.bsky.social · 9d

@governor.ca.gov calling it out. Yes, we are on the brink of Martial Law and don't think for one moment it won't happen in Atlanta. Orange Turd has it out for Fulton County and continues to hold a grudge against Kemp for not helping him overturn 2020 election

Great substack by @michaelcohen212.bsky.social
Please read and share

"Black Hawks Over American Streets"

Helicopters in the night, children stripped from their beds, citizens detained without charge; Trump’s police state has arrived, and what happened in Chicago will soon be happening everywhere.

Great meeting today Oct 4 with the North Gwinnett Dems (NGD)—a grassroots coalition working to flip municipal, county, state, and federal elections blue. Thank you for letting me say my peace given your jammed-packed agenda!

Nice to meet you Stefanie. Now following you.
It will be an interesting race for sure.
State House Rep Ruwa Romman @ruwaforgeorgia.bsky.social just announced she's running for gov. IMO, she's the one to watch in this race.

I'm a Georgia Democrat. Myself & many Georgia Dems are not embracing Duncan for Gov. While we welcome him to our tent, he has a voting record as Lt. Gov. that goes against our values. @meidastouch.com I recommend you interview @ruwaforgeorgia.bsky.social @ruwaromman.bsky.social who is running 4 gov

OMG!!! Look who shared @ruwaromman.bsky.social @ruwaforgeorgia.bsky.social run for GA Governor!!! Freaking Michael Stipe!!! So awesome!!!

Michael Stipe @michaelstipe.bsky.social · 15d

Georgia for Ruwa Romman! @ruwaromman.bsky.social

Ruwa Romman @ruwaromman.bsky.social · 16d

Now is the time to be brave. Republicans in Georgia have controlled our state for over 20 years leading to underfunded schools, closing hospitals, & low wages stuck at $5.15.

I'm running for Governor to change that.
