4 decades ago the Federalist Society was created to destroy the fabric of the most successful democratic nation in history. It was a reaction to civil rights and the regulatory system that had built the middle class. They wanted unrequited wealth. They won. Now everybody’s miserable, even them. Yay

Albany Park. Like Rogers Park an incredibly diverse neighborhood. Many refugees have been settled in these neighborhoods.

ICE is tear gassing people on residential streets.

This is like a foreign occupation.

ICE has so much of this energy. They get it from their leadership.

Always worth remembering that choosing at any point to register as a Republican means you have imbibed your gateway drug.

Andrew Cuomo is incapable of speaking clearly and directly about Trump’s authoritarianism.

In the last week Stephen Miller said that the courts have determined that Donald Trump has plenary power.

In the last week, Donald Trump has insisted that there are no more stores left in war-ravaged Portland, asserted that Joe Biden was president during the January 6th insurrection, hosted conspiracy theorists for an "Antifa" summit, and said he'd consider pardoning his good friend the sex trafficker.

The world is divided by those who enjoy dancing and all that follows vs the men that reject it and only can spread their misery.

Hmm what does a personalized government that pays its military out of a presidential slush fund suggest about our checks and balances along with the demands of loyalty from the armed forces?

Every institution in the United States is broken.

Every single one.

Time to imagine something very different because there ain't nothing in the body to revive.

There is no depth too deep. There is no imagination too dark to contemplate the consequences of all of this.

He was exonerated and released because of The Innocence Project.

THE INNOCENCE PROJECT.

We are seriously fooling ourselves. It is not a year in. The consequences shall be deep. Are any of us prepared?

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

It is extraordinarily stupid and wasteful in real life. But it's also an amazing set up for a political thriller.

The only question about this administration's parade of morons is if they're idiots because they are so arrogant or arrogant because of their olympian idiocy.

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.
