If you want to know what kind of Senator Janet Mills might be, remember that she's running as Chuck Schumer's preferred candidate and with his full backing.

Should she win, we can expect more strongly worded letters, hoping really hard for Trump to do the right thing, and AIPAC calling the shots.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

ICE exists to serve the prison industrial complex. They needed to create a fake crisis to justify even more mass incarceration. The US is a prison state.

The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight

Any police officer who vows to quit depending on the results of an election is openly admitting that they are partisan, that they swore an oath but it was conditional, and that they believe the work they do as law enforcement is tied to a particular political party.

All of these are damning.

Chikungunya is difficult to test for & has no treatment. It has exploded globally in the past 20 yrs bc of climate change, w/ outbreaks in areas it wasn’t previously found. First detected in the W Hemisphere in 2015, local transmission now occurs in the US. This administration suspended the vaccine…

There is nothing in this world more cowardly and disgusting than preying on and assaulting children. There isnt a word in the English dictionary that is strong enough to describe the level of depravity members of ICE and DHS are capable of

This version is confirmed, by Hoffman Estates police, puncturing the official DHS statement.

At this point, there is a statement from DHS re 🧊 activities in the Chicago area that’s refuted in similar fashion on nearly a daily basis at a minimum over the past week

Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi @congressmanraja.bsky.social · 1d

Despite what some, including at DHS, are claiming, this video isn’t from a year ago in Chicago. It was Friday in Hoffman Estates, in my district, a street I’ve walked myself. It appears to show a child being violently detained by ICE. It’s real, and I’m demanding accountability.

The thing about “city cops are wary of mayoral candidate” stories is those cops don’t live or vote there so you don’t have to care what they think.

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

They’re also not going after “drug traffickers” and “the worst of the worst”. They’re beating up moms picking up their kids at school or immigrants, following the law to become citizens, coming out of immigration hearings. They’re scared shitless of the gangs and other criminals.
