Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"

the age of societal domination by mediocre white men was drawing to a close. nature was healing. and thus the most mediocre of all staged a hostile takeover of our government by economic force so that they could institute counterrevolution and maintain their control in perpetuity.

if blue state governors and mayors aren't already thinking about the reliability of various police forces nominally under their control, they should start immediately

Schatz (I think) was literally fucking running cover for funding ICE this week. I can't find the screenshots right now but he said something like "the border was a mess" when confronted with the fact that his own vote created this catastrophe. He couldn't even fucking own his part in it.

In a fight between Pritzker and and police, who is going to win? This is what happens when both parties allowed law enforcement to become one of the most powerful political actors in the country -- a taxpayer-funded political movement that wants to kill people.

People keep fucking telling me the dems in washington need to "focus on healthcare" and that the mayors are more equipped to deal with the literal fucking federal invasion happening right now. It's apparently too much of me to ask that they at least fucking pipe up about it.

Any time you think this guy has any business in the Whitehouse, remember who he really is. The man who said fuck trans rights. The man who set up a photo op of him stealing and destroying what few possessions the unhoused had surrounded by a gaggle of pigs.

Remember who he fucking is.

It's not just that they're going to strike down a law against conversion therapy, it's that they're going to do it on behalf of made-up claims from a straw plaintiff who can't honestly show the law affected her at all

So who holds the media responsible when the media is supposed (being generous) to be the ones holding the power to account? The fact that they're using a photo as old as I am FROM A DIFFERENT CITY to describe one block of fed rioting should be plastered all over to shame them.

TRUMP: I think it's absolutely ridiculous, and while we're at it I'd like them to change the kickoff rule.
