with one of the most incredible kickers i've ever seen
NYT excerpt that reads:

On Thursday, Mr. Benioff said he had never been progressive even if many San Franciscans thought he was. He said he was a longtime Republican before switching to become an independent voter.

At the end of the interview, he turned to a public relations executive. He could be heard asking why her mouth was wide open and if he had said anything he shouldn’t have.

“What about the political questions?” he asked. “Too spicy?”

Then he hung up.

I mean, the goal is madness, fear, anxiety, and so on. It's revenge. A performance of masculinity, white supremacy, and le non du père.

a lot of ppl in comments saying that pro palestinian activists don't protest trump. that's simply not true. among other things in chicago, Palestinian groups are among those in the coalition that's protesting ICE incursions right now.

When I talked to bystanders they said agents accused Brockman of “obstruction,” which sure sounds a lot different than this DHS claim

UPDATE: In emailed statement to me / @reason.com, DHS alleges that WGN-TV producer Debbie Brockman "threw objects at Border Patrol’s car and she was placed under arrest for assault on a federal law enforcement officer."
Screencap of email from DHS public affairs: Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin:

 

“U.S. Border Patrol was conducting immigration enforcement operations and when several violent agitators used their vehicles to block in agents in an effort to impede and assault federal officers. In fear of public safety and of law enforcement, officers used their service vehicle to strike a suspect’s vehicle and create an opening. As agents were driving, Deborah Brockman, a U.S. citizen, threw objects at Border Patrol’s car and she was placed under arrest for assault on a federal law enforcement officer. 

 

“This incident is not isolated and reflects a growing and dangerous trend of illegal aliens violently resisting arrest and agitators and criminals ramming cars into our law enforcement officers. These attacks highlight the dangers our law enforcement officers face daily—all while receiving no pay thanks to the Democrats’ government shutdown.”

Black is a Presbyterian pastor who has done anti-poverty work in Chicago since 2020. He grew up in an evangelical household and went to seminary for years, he didn't pay a site online 25 dollars.

My understanding from my nun friends is he's spent most of his time working on running a free pantry.

A Newsmax host defended ICE agents shooting a minister in the head with a pepper ball by falsely claiming he was “actually an antifa member masquerading as a pastor.”

I don’t know how any honest observer of what’s happening in Chicago—or at least any observer who has any historical knowledge—can keep claiming that we are not now living under fascism in America.

This brown skinned landscaper was minding his business on a job in Edgewater when 3 masked ICE thugs took him away. Then on leaving the 3 reportedly got out of their car, turned their guns on a woman and tried to get into her car for apparently driving too close searching for parking near her home

Based on all the social media reports, today may have been the busiest Friday for ICE activity that we’ve seen since this surge started.

With hundreds of police now protecting ICE’s facility for them, presumably ICE is able to deploy more agents to snatch people.

Hegseth sucks. The Qataris suck. But we aren’t giving Qatar an airbase in Idaho. It’s building dorms etc. at an existing base to train them on F-15s we sold them, just like Singapore already has there. Common arrangement we have with lots of countries. This one was already being planned under Biden.

Seeing pictures of an abandoned tamale cart in Pilsen where ICE took a tamale street vendor. Those photos of left behind carts are so haunting. Community members disappeared. Not just vendors but people who have long standing relationships with the community and people.

Legitimately horrific that 19 people and an entire building were disappeared in moments today at the Accurate Energetic Systems Explosion in Tennessee.
screenshot from google maps of a remote building in the Tennessee wilderness. a parking lot containing about a dozen cars sits a short distance away. a photograph from New Channel 5 Nashville's helicopter showing smoke rising from where the building in the prior image once stood. the parking lot remains visible in the shot and shows several vehicles which presumably belonged to the victims.

Neighbor shielded 7-year-old during South Shore federal raid: ‘I didn’t want them to take her’ via @chicago.suntimes.com
Amid the smoke bombs and screams that ricocheted throughout a South Shore building last month during a massive military-style immigration raid, one man heard a knock on his door.

On the other side was a mom and her seven-year-old daughter, pleading for his help.
News clip reading: 
“I wasn’t planning on letting her stay, but I didn’t know what the hell was going on,” the man said of his Venezuelan migrant neighbors. But he quickly relented. The little girl was inconsolable and hid under his bed.

Pass it on: If you FILE A COMPLAINT about police activity, it flags the body-worn camera video so reporters can obtain it later via FOIA requests.
