The little town of Mystic, CT has a population under 5K.

Trump's federal agents shot Marimar Martinez, a US citizen, multiple times for allegedly menacing them with her car in Chicago. Only hours later, Kristi Noem and DHS started spreading disinformation about the shooting.

Now the official line is crumbling. 1/

Trump’s Secret Police Shot a Citizen. Then Damning New Info Emerged.
As the official Trump administration line about the shooting of a Chicago woman crumbles, Senator Chris Murphy is asking pointed questions about what really happened here. Will we ever get answers?

I’ve never seen sadism described like that.
Eric Trump: "We're saving Christianity. We've saving God. We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation. I mean, DEI is out of the window, Benny. You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell. All of this is dead."

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.

Those previously arguing to “defund the police” may have second thoughts if the police are standing up to ICE:
While I predicted a sick-out, I failed to identify the illness.

Which is why I should leave these predictions to the professionals.

I am wondering how many members of the National Guard are calling in sick after being told to attack another state.

While many in ICE may have signed on to be Gestapo, it is unlikely the NG members did.

#SickOut?

The Oregon Republican Party tried to help Donald Trump make the case for military intervention in Portland with an image of a fiery protest — but since Portland is calm, they had to fabricate one by merging old photos of police in Ecuador and protesters in Brazil www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I cherished every day I got to call myself a Soldier—but ordering troops to intimidate the very Americans they sacrifice to protect doesn’t make us safer.
 
Trump is wasting millions to terrorize citizens exercising their First Amendment rights. It's wrong.

50,000 runners are expected for this Sunday's Chicago Marathon.

Will Trump try to destroy it?

Or is the mere threat of him destroying it enough?

Trump trying very hard to start a Civil War.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson just signed an order making city property off-limits to ICE. As federal troops deploy to Chicago, this is a bold stand for accountability and human rights. No city should ever be turned into a battleground for political power.
