Rush hour. Lincoln Square.
2 Border Patrol thugs tackled a WGN-TV producer to the pavement in front of horrified commuters, handcuffing her, face-down.

Debbie Brockman, a journalist with WGN since 2011, identified herself before being dragged into an unmarked silver van with New Jersey plates.

“Multiple Chicago schools went on lockdown today because of ICE, including my son’s and the one I’m on the council of. Spent the last two hours standing outside, trying to make sure nothing happens to these kids. This is horrible.”--r/t Mike Nelson

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.

Why the delay?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

Trump is giving Qatar a military base in America.

Remember, Qatar funds Hamas.

Oh yeah, Qatar also gave Trump a $400 million plane.

Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?

Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official.

Be warned.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

The bait: suddenly someone has a cache of weapons & speaking with authority, tells you this is the only way to fight back.

barricade, and a large number of police who started beating people.
People were outraged by the beatings and some marchers, though still unarmed, began throwing bricks and bottles at the police and engaging in vandalism. A police station close by was also burned down and the authorities did nothing to stop it. Movement speculation about the number of agent provocateurs involved was intense afterward, since journalists reported the first people damaging nearby vehicles were plain clothed police officers. In subsequent interviews, even two police officers speculated that those who burned the police station were likely agent provocateurs.
Soon after this ragged demonstration, the military government used the supposed movement violence and property destruction as an excuse to declare a state of emergency and then intensified its repression of the pro-democracy movement, including firing into crowds of demonstrators. The largely nonviolent resistance movement ultimately achieved its goal of ending the coup, but casualties were high. At least 52 civilians were killed and at least 300 civilians were injured by gun-shots, while approximately 250 people also went missing.
