This should be a historic city-crippling blizzard man. We should all be waking up tomorrow to three feet of snow and no power and cars abandoned on Lake Shore Drive. This is what they took from us

It has been an obvious, sometimes even almost stated project of Trump 2.0 to engineer a redo of the post George Floyd protests of 2020, this time with much more state violence. And now a federal agent has shot and killed a woman in a car at point blank range a mile from where Floyd was murdered.

Blows my mind that some of the same journalists who see Trump as a want-to-be dictator at home are earnestly discussing the "challenges" for this same man to "bring democracy" to a country it just illegal invaded. Please grow up.

It’s sobering to look back on the run-up to the Iraq war—a period of unceasing chattering-class debate, elaborate official lies, media complicity, unavailing global protest, in the end a giant stitch-up—and have it seem like some sort of paradise of public deliberation compared to these gangsters.

This is part of the Trump administration’s Epstein Files release — 119 pages of Grand Jury testimony, fully redacted.
This is not transparency. This is a cover-up. Follow the law and release ALL of the damn files.

BREAKING: The Democratic National Committee will NOT release its long-awaited autopsy on Trump's 2024 win. The report is completed but Dem leaders decided it could distract from their winning streak, so it will remain secret. Not good.

The police recognize ICE/CBP as fellow cops and treat them accordingly.
Conflicts between them *only* arise when ICE/CBP doesn't reciprocate professional courtesy.

In case you still think that local police are going to stand up to federal immigration agents:
A few of minutes ago CPD swooped in on a community caravan that was tailing CBP agents to honk horns and warn neighbors, blocking the caravan from following and giving agents a clean break from scrutiny.

One reason I'm reposting this (other than it's very good) is the occupation of Memphis, unlike other cities, seems to be undercovered.
