from the inbox:

masked federal agents yesterday evening dragged a person out of their car and tackled them in the street outside uic.

a handful of other agents looked on, at least one carrying an apparent rifle.

at the end of the clip, the person can be heard screaming, “help! help me! help!”

When I see this, I wonder if people realize that Jim Crow racism in the American south was a type home-grown fascism. It was not (just) a superficially genteel system of social deference. Refusing to defer was often met with incredible violence designed to terrorize the entire Black community.

Terrorism. This will only get worse in the coming months and years. Revisit Project 2025 for the plain policy outline.

ICE agents can no longer walk up to people filming and spray chemical irritants directly in their faces (like they did in this video)

Oh this is actually huge…

A federal judge just issued a restraining order barring DHS from using riot-control weapons on members of the press, protesters, or religious practitioners who aren’t posing an immediate threat to anyone’s safety.

In plain English: ICE agents can no longer walk up to people filming and spray chemical irritants directly in their faces (like they did in this video)… which should have been obvious, but it’s exactly what’s been happening.

This type shit!

This is the time for the snarky, the petty, the witty and the assholes to stand up and do their thing.

Every little bit helps.
