PLEASE read, spread the word, & chip in whatever you can. After surviving domestic violence, Chris must move cross country in 10 DAYS to avoid homelessness. We cannot let Chris & precious 14 y.o. kitty Zoe sleep in the car, esp. since Chris just had major hip surgery! Every bit helps. Thank you. 🧡🧡🧡

And you know what kicked these racists off?

Some of us pointing out that you cannot "just vote" our way out of fascism, nor wait until it's a done deal, and that there comes a point when people being actively subjected to genocide, exterminated, have a right to fight back.

And here we are.

Just discovered that some Vichy types added me to lists accusing me of "violence" and "harassment," which of course is not a thing I've ever done.

White folks just don't like being told when they're racist.

The only ones burning shit down? Are them.

My deep prediction now , is the "No Kings Protest" is gonna go the way 501050 was or WORSE

and be used as a pretense for more violence against non white people

and we'll get a batch of "expert opinion" based in teh racism everyone claims to fight

A lot going on here, but a religion note: DHS Assistant Sec. Tricia McLaughlin refers to Rev. Black as a "pastor" here — using quotation marks.

It's a notable slight against a faith leader's status, as Black is, in fact, an ordained minister of a church operating within the Presbytery of Chicago.

This footage is from almost a month ago. What this clipped video doesn’t show is that these agitators were blocking an ICE vehicle from leaving the federal facility—impeding operations.

Over and over again, law enforcement ordered these agitators to move off of federal property so the vehicle could move. Law enforcement verbally warned these agitators that they would use force if they did not move and stop impeding operations. They did not comply.

Shortly after, rioters began throwing rocks, bottles and launching fireworks at the law enforcement officers on the roof.

At the time of this incident, this facility held criminal illegal aliens including gang members, drug traffickers, and other violent criminals. Obstructing law enforcement puts officers, detainees and the public at risk. If you are obstructing law enforcement you can expect to be met with force.

And, as an aside, this is the same “pastor” who flipped
@Sec_Noem
and our team the bird when we were there last week.
