Lemon and that Hegby guy seems to have an unspoken agreement that they yell at each other with their PR people filming so they can post on social media for clout

Ok, how THEY don’t understand (I know, they understand just fine too I’m sure)

Literally don’t understand how ISP/CCSD presence there is not just a bald-faced repudiation of everything Pritzker and the Cook County board say they believe

Both elementary and high schools (Admundsen, LP)

I doubt my list is comprehensive, just heard from friends who have kids at these places. My son goes to Nettelhorst and said they were there about 20 mins before dismissal harassing nannies

The Broadview Protests were escalating towards “ICE will kill people” prior to ISP’s deployment. I don’t love what ISP is doing at all but they are serving a purpose.

They’ve been loitering outside most CPS schools on the north side waiting for dismissal as the schools wouldn’t let them in - Hawthorne, Nettelhorst, Lincoln, Admundson, Lincoln Park, others

In all sincerity - Zach Bryan is good and is not Nashville-machine big-cowboy hat country. Hes just a singer/songwriter with a twang

1. Wait til he finds out about the Cake Shake.

2. I normally try to steer out of towners to Tavern Style but I know a deep dish boy when I see one.

$50k signing bonuses are being advertised on tv. That’s a lot of money.

What’s CPD doing? Are they just creating a physical barrier between protestors and the feds, or are they pushing the protestors around?

Is it bad that a game I’ve looked forward to for 48 hours is over in like 18 minutes

@govpritzker.illinois.gov

Why is the Illinois state police being deployed to insure ICE can do their “jobs“ without protestor interference?

Ie, the reason why you cannot find an Israeli leader who is not radicalized on the Palestinian issue is because every single one of them was conscripted at a young age to repress Palestinians

Yair Golan is a reserve general in the IDF, the only way he is “left” is by comparison, not in absolute terms. He commanded the unit responsible for suppressing both Infitadas. I think this is a product of mandatory military service - the requirement is a radicalizing tool for all Israelis.

Ah, the bizarro lathe of heaven

Easy to find public statements from both the mayor and governor condemning this.

So yeah, we know it’s Trump and Clinton and Prince Andrew and Bill Gates and Peter Theil, etc. I think people want to see them punished, because is they can’t be held accountable for this, can we hold them accountable for anything? (No, very obviously we cannot)

Matty @matt78.bsky.social · 14d

Perhaps I’m wrong but I’ve felt that when people say they want “the files”, “released”, what they’re asking for is accountability. We know a number of these people did horrific things, but they‘re presidents, princes, heads of massively
Influential NGO charitable orgs - ie, they still run everything

The extreme lengths to which he goes to avoid even a moment of critical thought in this interview (and I presume his book) is just the mark of a deeply, deeply, stupid man.

Yeah it’s getting broadcast on college/nfl football it seems
