A great part of David's book The Age of Insurrection details all the mass shootings and natural disasters and other tragedies that were baselessly blamed on antifa in 2020. Highly recommend: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/720886...

This photo was taken close to two decades ago, and it wasn't in Portland.

It's a common misinfo thing that's been going around.

we have that series. a few years back I was thinking of donating them to the local library but never did for post publication context missing from those books. now, I am keeping them because it is better than what will be coming out for the foreseeable future.

Just today, here's a story from the @chicago.suntimes.com -- not only are ICE/feds masking themselves constantly (and some local cops too, I've seen it), now they're driving around without license plates. More "laws for thee, whatever I wanna do for me" in action chicago.suntimes.com/news/2025/10...

Federal immigration officers wear masks, no name tags — now some drive cars without license plates

The Sun-Times has documented four unmarked cars carrying federal officers without required plates, offering another way to shield their identities. Federal officials say they’re meeting regulations.

The promotion of pseudoscience about a supposed “cause” or “cure” of autism and the destruction of special education (and all of public education, really) are part of the same project. It is a fascist attempt to expel certain people from the body politic, based in eugenics.

Sara Partridge, Ph.D. @sarapartridge.bsky.social · 7h

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

ICE is now pulling from a pool of applicants who see televised images of sobbing children in handcuffs, or masked men in tactical gear roughing up Latino laborers, and don't recoil in horror.
The administration is also doing its best to send all the worst possible signals to existing agents, from every level of the hierarchy. The president ominously declares we are engaged in a "war within" - with domestic urban populations cast as the enemy combatants.

masked federal agents have been on a tear through chicago neighborhoods today—enabled in no small part by the state + local cops now running security for ice in broadview.

at least 2 people abducted in cicero, 2 in humboldt park/hermosa, 3 in garfield ridge. sightings in schaumburg + hanover park.
