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.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

Bootleggirl on twitter writes: "I still dislike the Star Wars sequels but I can't no longer fault them for running with the premise of "20 years after fascism, same fascism again, but stupider" bc I just lived through that.

I think it's funnier that someone got this signed by the original Turtles.

the ad from above, but signed by Renee Jacobs (April O'Neil, with a "guess not...", Barry Gordon (Donatello, with a "YEAH RIGHT!"), Townsend Coleman (Michelangelo, with a "Still here!"), Rob Paulsen (Raphael) and Cam Clarke (Leonardo, with a "Crystal Ball, anyone?")

Never forget the core thing funding the sheer scale of the spending spree of AI investments is primarily due to the turborich wanting to solve the “problem” of having to pay wages.

Oh, yeah. Frogs are fun and thwarting fascist thugs with uncut whimsy is great, but let's make sure eyes are still on why this is happening.

Unlawful kidnappings must stop, people must be made to feel safe. That facility requires independent inspection then closure.

Watching both @redlettermedia.com takes one the Suspirias whilst tinkering with the new Final Fantasy Tactics and exploring this utterly devilish "Oreo/Reses cup" is a kind of indulgence I can recommend with a touch of glee.

Keep pounding this drum. Keep showing everyone that Portland is not only fine, it's on the turnaround. Keep calling these administration toadies liars, and to their lying faces. Do it in front of every live camera you can and show the receipts.

Enough. Because what they may try next is horrifying.

Like I said: Kristi Noem is a liar, has no honor, and we are lucky that we have a proud protest tradition that shows this administration we are not backing down. 🫡🐸🐔
