Laurie Eckman, 84, said she and her husband Richard Eckman, also 84, were rushed by federal officers. She said her husband was leaning on his walker and wearing his Vietnam veterans cap as he was pushed to the ground. "With no warning the feds charged us, knocked us down, and sprayed us."

What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.

The irony and the hypocrisy:
Texas has a bigger violent crime problem than Illinois, with a violent crime rate of 389 offenses per 100,000 people in 2024 compared to Illinois' rate of 289 offenses per 100,000 people. Recent studies also rank Texas as 48th out of 50 states for overall safety. .

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

Republicans want to save themselves. No surprise there.

Trump’s a busted flush and already disappearing from view as his multiple conditions worsen.

Fuck this.

This is nothing but red meat for Trump’s base. A federal law that *Trump* signed into law guarantees backpay to furloughed workers. There’s no disputing this.

More Perfect Union @moreperfectunion.bsky.social · 1d

A new White House memo says that furloughed federal workers aren't entitled to back pay.

This is clearly against the law, which guarantees furloughed federal employees back pay for the duration of a government shutdown.

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."

Between the fact the Americans pay twice per patient what civilized nations pay, and enjoy significantly lower lifespans, and the fact that Americans seem happy to sit by and watch Hitler 2.0 commit his atrocities while citizens around the globe are protesting fascism, it seems Americans are crazy.
