“Fuck them kids.”

That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other.

bangs.

"They was terrified. The kids was crying. People was screaming. They looked very distraught. I was out there crying when I seen the little girl come around the corner, because they was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other," Watson said. "That's all I kept asking. What is the morality? Where's the human? One of them literally laughed. He was standing right here. He said, 'f*** them kids.'"

Watson said trucks and military-style vans were used to separate parents from their children. Other neighbors said agents destroyed property to get in the building.

"They had a big, 15-inch chainsaw with round blade on it, cutting this fence down," said witness Darrell Ballard. "We're under siege. We're being invaded by our own military."

Montana homeowners, did you get your measly $400 yet?

Deadline to apply is tomorrow.

It would be great if the MT legislature could get off their asses and give some proper relief...which would include taxing the ultra rich taking over the state.

montanafreepress.org/2025/09/29/a...

Applications for $400 homeowner property tax rebates due Oct. 1

Eligible taxpayers can apply through the revenue department website.
