It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

just thinking about how when one of my friends was about to be homeless the Salvation Army basically told him to fuck off because he wasn't in enough trouble to need their help yet. few charities hate the vulnerable more than Salvation Army

Telling the federal court that IL police can handle Broadview was part of the state's legal strategy against national guard being deployed here.

But it's hard to square that as for the good of protestors or Illinoisans as a whole, when IL police are perfectly willing to drag and beat them anyway.

state police continue to push protesters down 25th street. at one point, cops swarmed a group of people and pushed them to the ground.

multiple people arrested.

No matter how many hit clips you see from @govpritzker.illinois.gov, the fact remains that the Illinois State Police are actively protecting and aiding ICE in their terrorizing of our communities.

Any #modelrailroad people know if Rapido is legit? Other hobby sites have these preorders listed but as far as I can tell literally everything on this site is listed a preorder.

I will gladly draw all of the frogs as a symbol for the movement, explicitly to take them back from the fuckers who co opted Pepe for their nazi shit.

keep seeing people be like "i swear concert / movie theater / whatever etiquette has gone out the window since 2020" and, yeah. we had the most basic test of "will you mildly inconvenience yourself to save other people's lives" and we (america at least) failed it. all bets are off now

I find the frogmen very funny. I taught a class once called “The Theater of Protest,” which ironically Northwestern asked me to teach again after they suspended me for supporting student protesters (before they suspended me again)

It’s true: the cities are lawless and scary, if you live here sell your property as fast as possible, particularly if you have a 2 family row house from the 1920s with those nice bay windows.

The Orphan Crusher is here to stay. If we don’t feed more Orphans to the Crusher the Orphan Crushing industry will die. It’s time to wake up to the reality of the Orphan Crusher. The Orphan Crusher is worth billions. We need to teach people to use the Orphan Crusher. It’s here to stay.

*Many more neighbors were affected, but you won't get tallies on those numbers from the media because they don't get free ambulance rides and a PR team to issue statements on their behalf

“That means that city property and unwilling private businesses will no longer serve as grounds for these raids,” Johnson said to applause.
