Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

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.

Just a fucking disgrace that any president would say this to active duty military. But I expect it from this asshole, who has never respected the apolitical military tradition we’ve had since Washington. No, what’s more disgraceful is the silence of Republican vets in Congress.

As someone who has been reading both Coates and Klein for 15 years, I thought this summary and diagnosis of their disagreement by @andreapitzer.bsky.social was very good and correct. degenerateart.beehiiv.com/p/you-don-t-...

You don't have to swallow frogs

Klein and Coates show that if you don't know what your core beliefs are, you're going to get played.

This landed briefly in Luanda, Angola, a likely fuel stop, and is now about three hours from Eswatini.

All told, the migrant passengers will spend at least 26 hours shackled in handcuffs and leg irons attached to a chain around their waists.

As a US Atty, I prosecuted and oversaw police excessive force cases. We took them seriously because they were serious abuses of power. What we're seeing now is the outbreak of an epidemic & instead of being condemned by fed'l law enforcement leaders, it seems to be tolerated if not encouraged.

The use of charm and clever rhetorical devices does not rectify nor whitewash a content whose aim is the negation of a person or of a group.
