What they say while assaulting people is specifically designed to give them immunity (despite already having qualified immunity!) from their actions. The ISP is basically yelling "stop punching yourself" while attacking peaceful protesters.

I'm asking my American friends to turn out for the No Kings marches on the 18th. Turn out for your immigrant friends and neighbors. Turn out for your soul.

No matter how many hit clips you see from @govpritzker.illinois.gov, the fact remains that the Illinois State Police are actively protecting and aiding ICE in their terrorizing of our communities.

I know not everyone is who they thought they would be under a fascist, authoritarian regime. That's okay. But it's time to do more than react and post about it. It's time to get organized—including mapping or creating lines of support and defense in your community.

Pixel art of Luigi from the Mario games. He’s standing on a path in a green landscape under blue sky and puffy clouds. He has one hand on his hip and the other is tipping up his green hat. Orange balloon lettering I his left reads ‘Maybe it will happen today’ and below that is a Super Mario Bros question block.

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.

You cannot use moral reasoning against fascists, because moral reasoning does not motivate them. You cannot argue against the law against them because they do not care about the law. What they care about is violence, and what they use is power. They will only respond to a superior display of power.

I’ve been in Madison, Wisconsin for 20 minutes and it has already jumped towards the top of my favorite city power rankings because I’m biking and had to pee and went to a park with a bathroom and the doors were unlocked. Carlos Ramirez-Rosa I am inside the walls of your house

Digitally drawn hand lettering in an improvised sort of blackletter style with tasteful swirls and swashes. The words are colored in mottled blues and greens with light blue to white stippled glow around them on a toned paper background. They read ‘Maybe it will happen today’
