🫣Trump’s trade war backfires again: China’s 🇨🇳 buying soybeans🫘 from Argentina 🇦🇷 and with the shutdown, farmers get zero ❌ bailout. Two hits, no help.

Knowing the out of town soldiers and ICE agents are staying at Hyatts is all the confirmation we need about what side he’s on. His own. Billionaires first.

Pritzker is another gaslighting billionaire. A fat fucking phony. A true politician.

So let me get this straight. ICE agents are staying at Hyatt hotels … a business run by @jbpritzker.bsky.social family? This man is complicit. That’s why you’re witnessing the chaos in Illinois - bc he’s one of the bad guys.

They don't even bother to lie badly anymore.
I suppose that's the final humiliation.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

It simply should not be possible for the president to repeatedly claim that a major city is burning without a wall of live standups happening in that city clearly demonstrating that it is not

I cannot believe how many people are responding to this shit thanking him. HIS cops are just as complicit in the violence, and he CHOOSES to allow it. Are all Americans this gullible and stupid?

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 18h

On National Coming Out Day, know that I will always be an ally to you — no matter where you are on your journey.

I know that times may be scary, but you are seen, safe, supported, and loved here in Illinois.

Remember Americans: @govpritzker.illinois.gov and @gavinnewsom.bsky.social are complicit. They are NOT the good guys. They are just a different type of evil: wealthy and indifferent. YOU can suffer, that’s ok with them as long as they’re ok.

Tree @treemania.bsky.social · 17h

@govpritzker.illinois.gov is doing this to you Illinois. He’s gaslighting you too, just in a different way. Why? Bc he’s a billionaire and all billionaires are pure evil and hate humanity.

In Broadview, IL this morning outside the Chicago area ICE detention center—

Just rolled up, immediately saw ISP/CCSO arresting a protester w/ a guitar (he appears to be in good spirits over it).

ICE vehicles have been coming and going, including a large bus driven by a masked agent seen earlier.

The statement from the city is what you come to expect from US officials: a complete lie, 100% contradicted by the evidence we already have. This is America. Life is cheap there. People are a necessary inconvenience for billionaires.

Reality or fever dream hallucinations? For @nytimes.com ‘journalists’, it’s hard to know what’s real.

David Corn @davidcorn.bsky.social · 21h

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.
