A deep dish pie
Joints are sore
Blood pressure high
Pudding, flan
And crème brûlée
None are safe

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson just signed an order making city property off-limits to ICE. As federal troops deploy to Chicago, this is a bold stand for accountability and human rights. No city should ever be turned into a battleground for political power.

We have reached a level of authoritarianism, let’s use the word FASCISM, where the President, based entirely on lies about violence and disorder, and against the will of the governors of the states, can send hostile state’s National Guard to invade and sit on citizens

Don’t think these Texas National Guard guys are going to be chasing any immigrants around Chicago on foot

This is a perfect statement on why AI “art” is bullshit. It’s not art, it’s pretending to play a song by pressing the tempo button on a cheap keyboard (musical).

Bravo, @theoatmeal.bsky.social. Well done.

After law school, only one thing is gonna keep me from prosecuting murders in my home town, and that is prosecuting the shameful federal ‘law enforcement’ officers who are so proudly violating the law. Save your signing bonuses for defense lawyers. You’ll need them.

Once again, where is the CNO? SECNAV? After what just happened in Quantico, when will the military top brass speak up?
I asked this after the disgrace at Ft. Bragg, too.

And Carrie Fisher inspired a generation of us little girls who grew up to want to be just like Princess Leia and now here we are, rebels in resistance to an evil empire.
I hope she is proud of us 🩷

Christian nationalist fascism: when they lower masked Gestapo goons from helicopters in the night to smash apartment windows, terrorize residents, and zip-tie and kidnap children for not being white looking enough— and then violate the 1st Amendment by reciting scripture from a government account.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

The interaction illustrates how federal law enforcement officers do use aggressive tactics against protesters who yell and needle officers but don’t appear to present clear physical threats.
