#BREAKING A federal judge say she will grant "in part" a request by the state of Illinois for a temporary restraining order against the deployment of National Guard troops into the state.

U.S. District Judge April Perry is still ruling and has not outlined the details of her order.

Perry: "I'm going to issue an oral ruling."

I want to be very clear about something: I am AntiFa. Way down in the marrow of my bones, I am Antifa. I have always been, and I will always be, AntiFa. There is no force in nature that could sway me from being AntiFa.

To be AntiFa in the US is to be a patriot. I am a patriot. I am AntiFa.

My French charcutier suggested I make, basically, cassoulet from his smoked chorizo and all of a sudden New Orleans cooking makes more sense.

The guy responsible for trying to provoke a civil war via extreme violence on elders, women, children, journalists, clergy, elected officials, workers, longtime residents, and refugees wants a Nobel Peace Prize. The same guy ordering them to murder people in boats in the Caribbean.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

“A Sportsbet employee was among a small group of donors who attended the “boardroom dinner” with the minister for regional development, Kristy McBain, on Tuesday night. The dinner was organised by Labor’s fundraising vehicle.”

All they care about is being elected and staying in power.

Sportsbet dines with government minister at Labor fundraiser despite calls to reject lobbying from industry

Exclusive: Earlier that day, four crossbench MPs held a press conference calling on government to ignore lobbying from gambling industry

This perfectly encapsulates how right-wing politics works and why it is so dangerous.

Rather than observing the world as it is and proposing changes, right-wing politics start with an idealized conception of the world and go about reshaping reality to confirm to that vision.

@warnock.senate.gov: "As a man of faith, here's something that I have noticed about evil... Evil always gets a little bit too impressed with itself. It's filled up with hubris. Evil always goes too far, and because it goes too far, it contains within itself the seed of its own destruction."

“Join ICE today and receive UP TO a $50,000 signing bonus, which YOU can spend on anything YOU want—like a LAWYER when you’re eventually TRIED at THE HAGUE.” In New Yorker Humor, job postings for ICE.

ICE wants YOU to put your LEFT foot in then put your LEFT foot out then DO the hokeypokey and TURN IN your brother-in-law whom YOU didn’t realize THIS would AFFECT.

you'd think a prominent news outlet like the New York Times might mention that "antifa" isn't an actual organization in a long story about antifa, but nope!

and the subhead helps props up a false claim this professor was up to something seedy as something up for debate

NYT headline: "Rutgers Expert on Antifa Tries to Flee to Spain After Death Threats"

subheadline: "Mark Bray was teaching courses on antifascism. Turning Point USA accused him of belonging to antifa, which he denies. His flight to Spain was canceled abruptly on Wednesday night."
