I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

OUR tax dollars are being used to bail out Argentina, OUR troops are being put on the ground in Israel & OUR soil is being used by Qatar for a military base of their own.
While OUR government is shutdown.
Anyone who believes OUR so-called “president” when he says he is “America first”, is an idiot.

"A future president, even dumber than you, will allow Qatar, the country that harbored Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the plane attacks in NY, PA, and DC today, and whose royal family will help him escape capture by the US, to build a military base on US soil to train Qataris to fly jets."

“We can give $20 billion to Argentina but we can’t afford the CDC’s measles experts” is a hell of an argument

Illinois law requires all registered vehicles to display front and back license plates, without exception. But to evade accountability, masked federal immigration agents are driving around in unmarked cars without plates.

Federal immigration officers wear masks, no name tags — now some drive cars without license plates

The Sun-Times has documented four unmarked cars carrying federal officers without required plates, offering another way to shield their identities. Federal officials say they’re meeting regulations.

"PRIDE GOETH BEFORE THE FALL"

Unless you live in Atlanta, where Pride is this weekend, right in the middle of the Fall.

Happy Pride, Atlanta!

Today's tuna salad... canned tuna, Duke's light mayo, dill relish, sweet relish, onion powder, garlic powder, a touch of sea salt, diced kalamata olives, and the game-changer, diced sweet pickled onions. No sponsorship here, but I use Marzetta Family brand. Boom!

I do think it would be amazing if hundreds of protesters just showed up dressed like ICE. They’d be absolutely baffled, they’d have no way to tell who’s who. They’re all dressed in off-the-rack Cabelas clothes since they don’t seem to have a standard uniform so it’s easy.

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.

Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

A billion dollars is the socio-political equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work as ruthlessly and diligently to prevent the acquisition of the former as we do the latter.

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.

A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.
