This is one of the photos circulating in some of the Pilsen and Little Village pages. An abandoned tamale cart near Chase on Damen in Pilsen. 💔

A tamale cart is seen on a sidewalk next to a parked car and a parking lot.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

Hmm, the annunciation shooting was done by a fan boy of Anders Breivik, extreme right wing extremism.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 18h

this is an absolutely insane news conference for the Attorney General of the United States to be participating in.

(note how Benny Johnson describes the Annunciation shooting as an act of political violence, which is a lie)

@MrAndyNgo
Now that the local and national press have started to cover the Portland ICE area round-the-clock in reaction to the President, Antifa have devised a plan where they are encouraging one another to come in animal costumes.

The costumes serve the function of masking the violent extremism to make the direct action appear like a family-friendly gathering on camera, and to whitewash the past ultraviolence.

In 2019, Antifa devised a similar plot by giving out free "milkshakes" at a protest. But they couldn't contain their bloodthirst and nearly killed me when they saw me. In 2020, they mobilized a fake "Wall of Moms" where female Antifa supporters and members wore yellow shirts to act as human body shields while violent rioters behind them hurled projectile weapons.

Fascism demands to be taken seriously and to be feared. That makes mockery a powerful tool. Is it how you "beat" fascism? I wouldn't go that far. But inflatable Reptar has surely poked a clearer hole in the story the White House is telling that the Democratic Party's multimillion dollar comms shops.

This video is everywhere because it's a hilarious visual refutation of Portland being on fire. You can't get a mass movement going without convincing the masses

so yes, this does do something actually

Portland is leading the way. This is how you (non violently) beat Fascism. Humor and ridicule are key.

Portland frogs remind me of "everyday antifascist" tactics from a few years ago, when activists dressed as unicorns & poop emojis & bananas, dancing to a brass band during a Portland Proud Boys rally. All meant to disrupt the group's “toxic masculinity riot porn” www.huffpost.com/entry/proud-...

Irrelevant fun fact: the Constitution once had an emoluments clause, to prevent the president from using his position to enrich himself in a way that would be corrupting to the public interest of the office. Jimmy Carter had to sell his peanut farm to avoid the appearance of impropriety.

Torch Antifa Network @torchantifa.bsky.social · 14d

Today's statement about "Fighting Back Against Antifa Violence" from the DHS contains a false conspiracy theory about our member crew Rose City Antifa.

RCA has not doxed any ICE agents, a fact confirmed by going to the URL DHS conveniently censored from their photo.

RCA did not put up this flyer.

Screenshot of a DHS report with the following text, followed by a censored photo of a flyer soliciting tips about ICE agents with Rose City Antifa's email listed.
"Rose City Antifa also illegally doxed ICE officers, publishing their private information and home address online and on public flyers. Individuals associated with Antifa also sent death threats to ICE agents and DHS personnel."
