People are now following ICE vehicles in Chicago, honking their horns and yelling out to make sure that immigrants are warned about their impending arrival.😎

just talked to Gov. Pritzker who dared President Trump to “come and get me” after POTUS threatened him with arrest. But Pritzker said he thinks Trump will chicken out.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

Fascists come in two flavors, either Ogre or Goblin. Ogres are big dumb meathead oafs (Mussolini, Trump) and goblins are scrawny little weasel creeps who are also dumb (Hitler, Stephen Miller). JD Vance desperately wants to be an ogre but he is absolutely a goblin.

"Mother Jones has substantially more paid subscribers than Bari Weiss’ The Free Press, so perhaps someone should put us in charge of a TV network."

The latest from @monikab.bsky.social:

Nice little TV network you got there

How easily has Trump rolled corporate media? So much more easily than he probably expected.

when you are worried that THIS supreme court will rule against you on invoking the insurrection act, a statute that famously gives enormous deference to the president ... maybe that's a sign that your military deployments are pretty baseless

Trump administration officials seriously discussing invoking Insurrection Act, sources say

A decision is not expected to be imminent, one source said, but debate within the administration has shifted recently to more deeply exploring how and when the act might be invoked.
