I can't take these folks seriously, I'm sorry. I know they have a lot of power and seeing this country backslide is so disturbing but they're all dipshits, man. I can't respect a dipshit.

This is an important point.

Everyone one of these people has been asked to leave their home, their family, and their job to work without pay bc of the shutdown. We're better off thinking of ways to make this backfire on Abbott than to treat them poorly.

Remember: These are not MAGA stormtroopers. These are everyday teachers and accountants who signed up to serve their country with their spare time. They're being used as political pawns by venal, un-American, draft-dodging president

You'd think Chris Alexander would want to get out ahead of this and explain how he was duped or why he felt compelled to do some duping. Muttering "nationalsecurity" up your sleeve and sideling away is not the sort of thing one might expect from a man concerned with defending his own reputation.

Despite repeated requests for comment, Alexander has refused to speak to The Walrus on the record, citing unspecified national security concerns. He has not made any statements outside parliamentary protection on the subject of his accusations against Pugliese, and no new evidence has been offered. “I think there is now reason to seriously entertain the notion that they are forgeries,” says Rudling, who has corresponded with Bianchin about his investigation of the documents. “The burden of proof is now squarely on Alexander.”

fucked up that this is all just landlords swatting their own buildings to get rid of all the working class residents so they can raise the rent or sell to a developer who'll flip them into high end condos or w/e

like it's a real estate scam! it's a fucking land grab! a fire for the insurance money!

There’s a lot in here that deserves a pull quote, but this is the most egregious. I need people to recognize the gravity of the situation here in Chicago;

"The ones that are getting out are coming home to no home," Watson said.
According to her, after the raid occurred, building management stole or threw out residents belongings, including visas and important documents.

ICIRR is still trying to determine the identities of all the people detained in the raid. Castro said that the organization usually can do that by following up with family members or loved ones. "In this instance, there was nobody left to work with," she said. The only detainee name they're sure of is that of a person who passed their Venezuelan passport to a neighbor as they were being taken away.

I wish "antifa" had not gained such widespread usage. If we just said "anti-fascist," then it would be immediately clear to anyone what the opposite of that is.

dreamed a pair of cats jumped through my bedroom window. Oddly, my reaction was to swing my fist at them and yell at them to go away, hitting the headboard of my bed. Not how it would go down in real life
