The shameless GOP lying about the No Kings gatherings scheduled for next Saturday reveals how deeply hostile much of the Republican Party is to “the right of the people peaceably to assemble.” I look forward to our local No Kings event, and urge my fellow Americans to attend in their communities.

Whoa, Judge Perry says the Feds’ declarations about unrest at ICE facilities are not credible because some of the incidents they cite in their declarations were separately no-billed by grand juries

The Court therefore must make a credibility assessment as to which version of the facts
should be believed. While the Court does not doubt that there have been acts of vandalism, civil
disobedience, and even assaults on federal agents, the Court cannot conclude that Defendants' declarations are reliable. Two of Defendants' declarations refer to arrests made on September 27,
2025 of individuals who were carrying weapons and assaulting federal agents. See Doc. 62-2 at
19; Doc. 62-4 at 5. But neither declaration discloses that federal grand juries have refused to
return an indictment against at least three of those individuals, which equates to a finding of a lack of probable cause that any crime occurred. See United States v. Ray Collins and Jocelyne Robledo, 25-cr-608, Doc. 26 (N.D. Ill. Oct. 7, 2025); United States v. Paul Ivery, 25-cr-609

Make sure to check the schedule, and understand that your closest station changes depending on what side of the park you are on. The festival in the park has an 11pm curfew but the bars around are open till 3.

Midtown station is the closest to the fields where the concert stage is

Judge Ellis pointing out that Trump sunk his own case re: the 10th Amendment/Posse Comitatus with his batshit social media posts. "The POTUS' promises ... are to be treated with great respect." 🤣

Plaintiffs offer substantial evidence in support of their concerns that the scope and
purpose of the National Guard’s deployment in Illinois could intrude into the general police
powers generally reserved to the states. That evidence primarily consists of President Trump’s
social media posts concerning crime in Chicago. In one post, just about one month before
President Trump authorized the deployment of the National Guard in Illinois, the President
promised: “I will solve the crime problem” in Chicago, “just like I did in DC,” where the
President previously deployed the National Guard. Doc. 13-10 ¶ 59; id. ¶ 44 (similar, in August
2025). President Trump further stated: “Chicago will be safe again, and soon.” Id. The following
day, in a fundraising email, President Trump stated: “I turned our Great Capital into a SAFE
ZONE. There’s virtually no crime. NOW I WANT TO LIBERATE CHICAGO! The Radical
Left Governors and Mayors of crime ridden cities don’t want to stop the radical crime. I wish
they’d just give me a call. I’d gain respect for them. Now hear me: WE’RE GOING TO DO IT
ANYWAY.” Id. ¶ 60.
The President of the United States’s promises on official matters are to be treated with
great respect, particularly those made during his Presidency and respecting specific matters of

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight.

As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.
