Good morning and happy Tuesday to everyone. No jokes. No shade. No schadenfreude. The reason you never see ICE arresting Proud Boys and Oath Keepers is the same reason you never see Keanu Reeves hanging out with John Wick and Neo.

1st Nerve block for GPN at #JeffersonHealth 9:30 am no cessation of pain yet. The block not as much of an ordeal as I've heard. My otolaryngologist goes in outside on the neck not under the tongue. Worse was the nasal tube I almost bit off. my ent sprays lidocaine up there before going in #medical

What's happening in Chicago is not normal.

The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

Thermal energy storage, also known as ice batteries, is being added to buildings in the U.S. for its ability to provide cool air without releasing planet-warming emissions. These systems cut electricity usage and lower the strain on the grid.
Buildings are turning to 'ice batteries' for sustainable air conditioning

Turning the military on citizens.

Attempting to rig elections.

Toying with the idea of declaring martial law.

Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out.

If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

As his FBI tenure goes from bad to worse, Kash Patel abandons the pretense of seriousness
The problem isn't that Kash Patel is failing at his attempts to be a serious and capable figure. The problem is that the FBI director isn't even trying.

No one is above the law. The public deserves transparency & accountability from government leaders. We'll be in court to get answers.

If ICE agents are proud of what they're doing, then why do they cover their faces like cowards, refuse to identify themselves, and hide behind anonymity?

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson:

"Private establishments can partner with us to make it clear that private property is private property and ICE cannot enter establishments without a valid warrant ... If Congress will not check this administration, then Chicago will."

Imagine Trump listening to music.

OR visiting a museum.

OR playing with a small child.

OR petting a dog.

YOU CAN'T.

The man possesses not one single shred of humanity,,,,,

and NOTHING that even comes close to having a SOUL.

He could’ve fought, but he faked bone spurs. So someone else had to go in his place - most likely a working class kid whose daddy couldn’t afford to bribe a doctor. Now he’s talking shit about how it should’ve been fought.
