I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Personally? I was curious about the names of the lists.

Eyes on the Fright 🎃 @eyesontheright.bsky.social · 8h

Blocked by 1,058 people so obviously these lists aren't very popular.

Anyone who creates 3+ lists for you in general is deeply weird.

Mostly nothing bad. Saw I made it on three by someone I forgot about who flipped out on me a few months back.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

I've written my analysis of today's grim Supreme Court oral argument in the conversion therapy case:

As far as the Court's concerned, imaginary medical uncertainty gives states the authority to hurt queer kids, and takes away states' authority to protect them

The Conservative Justices Don't Trust Any Science That Supports LGBTQ Kids

States that want to facilitate discrimination against LGBTQ people have the Court's blessing. States that want to protect LGBTQ people from discrimination do not.

I can't wait until I have the same reaction to Keir Starmer, a man who also looks like nothing.

And that's in general, not just with this specific case. Even look at the bullshit charges against Comey. Just slipshod work all around.

I can't tell if they don't care because the process is the punishment or they do and they're sloppy as fuck.

JUST IN: Federal prosecutors in Chicago move to dismiss "without prejudice" the charges against Huburt Mazur, who faced a misdemeanor charge stemming from ICE protests in Broadview.

Mazur's preliminary hearing was set for Wednesday morning.

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter:

A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them.

Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.
