I’ve just picked up New York Times best-selling author John Fugelsang’s new book. It’s supposed to rain here tomorrow, so it’ll be a good reading day.

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.

If ICE raided your neighborhood today, they had smoother sailing because the Illinois State Police kettled and/or detained someone protesting just that.

Isn’t the Illinois State Police under the jurisdiction of Governor Pritzker?

It’s literally happening right now.

Illinois State Police — not ICE, not border patrol, not atf.

Troopers just violently attacked protesters, tackled several, several arrests, shoving activists and press with batons.

Yes! If unidentified thugs try taking people, treat these like kidnappings, because that's what they are.

Law enforcement has always advised kidnapping victims/helpers to fight the fight RIGHT THERE, because once these people have been taken, they could be lost for good.

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.

Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

🚨 This is a video for Tizzy. Where is this? Who is this “man?” I have never seen a cop punch a woman or slam her into the ground. And the brazenness of doing it in front of children and passersby’s. Fuck this.

When masked secret police are crashing into cars & violently pulling women out & beating them to a pulp with no warrant, answering to no one, this isn't democracy!

Excellent! I’ll never get tired of posting the following:

If you’re in a position to deny ICE thugs service in your businesses, do it! Not one bottle of water, not one slice of pizza…and no restroom keys.

Make them feel the pain they’re inflicting on others.

Just hand this to Trump and toss in a Burger King crown. He’ll never know the difference.

Excellent reference! I hadn’t read his “Milton” since college. I’d totally forgotten that it’s all about self-awareness. Heavy stuff.

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

Leah McElrath @leahmcelrath.bsky.social · 12d

⚠️ Chinese researchers have invented bone glue that mimics how oysters stick to surfaces underwater.

The adhesive can reportedly repair orthopedic fractures in 2-3 minutes, even in blood-rich environments, and is bioabsorbable.
