Quintessential Kavanaugh Stop.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

Biden time travelled from Jan. 21 back to Jan. 6 and it was all a setup. Why do you think they call them DEMONcrats?

HotinCleveland @wohio.bsky.social · 15h

Amen! Please put this man in the Senate.

HotinCleveland @wohio.bsky.social · 2d

Yeah financiers should set education policy.

HotinCleveland @wohio.bsky.social · 2d

Wow stay safe 🙏

HotinCleveland @wohio.bsky.social · 2d

That's fair. But there are so many better (also worse) things to watch than Big Bang Theory.

Orphan Black is good and very fun! At least the first 2-3 seasons.

HotinCleveland @wohio.bsky.social · 2d

Ha! Sorry but it's hard to be positive with... ya know.

HotinCleveland @wohio.bsky.social · 2d

People have bad taste.

HotinCleveland @wohio.bsky.social · 3d

I mean, definitely money, too.

HotinCleveland @wohio.bsky.social · 3d

Will they keep shooting people trying to access food or is that on hold?

HotinCleveland @wohio.bsky.social · 3d

Wow. Wild how that is the exact same statement Trump was going to make if he had won.

This is wild, via @jmetr22b.bsky.social of the Chicago Tribune:

From U.S. District Chief Judge Virginia Kendall in the Northern District of Illinois:

“At no point did I, nor the Building Security Committee, authorize or request the National Guard’s assistance to secure the Dirksen Courthouse.”

Press release from federal court in Illinois:

Statement from Chief Judge Virginia M. Kendall

"Providing access to justice is at the heart of the Court's mission and critical for our democracy.
Maintaining access to the courthouse for anyone who seeks redress remains a top priority of the court. It is a core principle to promote our rule of law," said Chief Judge Virginia Kendall.

As the Chief District Court Judge in the Northern District of Illinois, I chair the Dirksen Courthouse Building Security Committee and work closely with the United States Marshals Service. During the past several weeks, I have received frequent updates on matters impacting the Court's operations to allow for proceedings to continue safely. Proceedings are and have been open to the public and the media.

The United States Marshals Service has jurisdiction over the interior and exterior security at the Dirksen Courthouse. While the Federal Protective Service has authority in most federal buildings, the United States Marshals Service has that primary responsibility at the Dirksen Courthouse. I trust and rely upon the men and women of the United States Marshals Service and the Court Security Officers to provide security at the Dirksen Courthouse; this includes the perimeter of the building. At no point did I, nor did the Building Security Committee, authorize or request the National Guard's assistance to secure the Dirksen Courthouse.
With my approval, additional security measures have been implemented to allow court operations to proceed, but those measures do not include the National Guard at the Dirksen Courthouse. The Courthouse remains open and accessible for all matters including hearings, jury trials, and naturalization ceremonies. The District Court Clerk's Office will be open during normal business hours, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, and in-person proceedings will continue as scheduled by the assigned judge.

Said the genius in the oval office.

It's too much liquid.

Trump will back down soon and claim he negotiated a winning deal. Most of these farmers will vote keep voting R and decrying "socialism" and welfare.

HotinCleveland @wohio.bsky.social · 4d

People with opposing political views or who express any opposition are the enemy. It could not be clearer.

HotinCleveland @wohio.bsky.social · 4d

Yes, but he was... standing peacefully and speaking to them?

HotinCleveland @wohio.bsky.social · 4d

This would not be acceptable in a country that operates according to the rule of law.

HotinCleveland @wohio.bsky.social · 5d

Pam Bondi is absolutely insufferable.

Consider doing journalism rather than propaganda for the regime. How on Earth did you decide to run this picture?
