I am not alarmist. I'm writing what needs to be said. Higher ed is on the brink of collapse and so much could be lost. College, alongside the military, is a second family for many adults. It is where people fall in love, pick sports teams, meet lifelong friends, and form a professional identity. A 🧵

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children

Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

It happened. Last night I was feeling despair about a lot of different things and I realized I needed to enlist my dog’s help to make me feel better.

I present to you Maggie the Pug as Cher Pugowitz.

Maggie the Pug is majorly, totally, butt crazy in love with Josh. She’s wearing Cher’s classic yellow plaid ensemble.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

I remember when I used to go DAYS—WEEKS EVEN—without thinking about the President of the United States because I wasn’t worried about him starting a civil or world war, making a gestapo police force, or ripping our constitution to shreds.

ICE is hog tying protesters in Portland and removing them on Dollies.

This is dangerous and could cause serious injury.

The Department of Homeland Security thinks it’s a joke.

They’ve shared this video with the tagline “Refuse to Walk? We’ll give you a ride”.

Stay strong Portland.

Hey mainstream news media. Maybe do your job and let people know just how fucking crazy this guy is. He’s trying to start a civil war.

Brandon Friedman @brandonfriedman.bsky.social · 4d

Everyone is trying to have a normal Saturday night and the president's top advisor is on X announcing that civil war is necessary

@StephenM on X: Legal insurrection. The President is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, not an Oregon judge. Portland and Oregon law enforcement, at the direction of local leaders, have refused to aid ICE officers facing relentless terrorist assault and threats to life. (There are more local law enforcement officers in Oregon than there are guns and badges in the FBI nationwide). This is an organized terrorist attack on the federal government and its officers, and the deployment of troops is an absolute necessity to defend our personnel, our laws, our government, public order and the Republic itself.

This is exactly the same demand that preceded the Trump admin's federalization of the Oregon National Guard

MEMORANDUM FOR: THE ADJUTANT GENERAL, OREGON NATIONAL GUARD
SUBJECT: Request for Oregon National Guard Federal Protection Mission
1. I am writing to inform you that the Department of War has received a request from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for immediate assistance to protect federal personnel, functions, and property in Oregon. In response, the Secretary of War has authorized additional federal funding for up to 200 members of the Oregon National Guard (ORNG) under Title 32 United States Code, Section 502(f), to perform this mission in a non-federalized status under your command and control.
2. I have enclosed DHS's request for protective measures while executing operations in Oregon. Due to the circumstances and immediate nature of this request, if ORNG forces are not mobilized in the next 12 hours, the Secretary of War may direct the mobilization of as many members of the ORNG as he may deem necessary under Title
10 United States Code.
3. The Department of War greatly appreciates your collaboration on this emergent situation. If your Governor agrees to a Title 32 mobilization of the ORNG, we will work with DHS to coordinate mission details with you. To be clear, we believe time is of the essence and failure to mobilize sufficient forces quickly to address the situation may risk lives and property damage. I respectfully request that you inform me immediately if your Governor is unable or unwilling to mobilize the ORNG under Title 32 to perform the necessary protective functions.

this is also white nationalist framing straight from the Jim Crow era, as if Joy Reid citizenship is a gift from Vance, whose belonging is of course unquestioned

it’s what @profkori.bsky.social would call “know your place aggression”

Jess Calarco @jessicacalarco.com · 4d

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

Tweet from the VP:
Joy Reid has had such a good life in this country. It's been
overwhelmingly kind and gracious to her. She is far wealthier than most.
Yet she oozes with contempt.
My honest, non-trolling advice to Joy Reid is that you'd be a much
happier person if you showed a little gratitude

When we hear about a lone scientist who made groundbreaking discoveries on their own, it’s usually erasing the truth that science is a team sport, and field research builds on the local knowledge and expertise of the people that live there (8/10)

You can't raid and arrest everyone in an entire apartment building, or even legitimately get a warrant to do that, any more than you could for a whole neighborhood. That would be a general warrant. This is the most specific core the-British-did-it-to-us thing the Fourth Amendment is written to ban.

NEW — An estimated 40 people were taken by federal agents in an overnight raid in South Shore, a predominantly-Black neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side.

A couple who live nearby said they were shocked to see the enormous militarized raid in their community.
