This is the FIFTH ICE flight out of Chicago in less than week, per tracking by @jjindc.bsky.social.. (2 GlobalX, 3 Avelo)
Never seen that many stops to one city in a week. My guess, they’ve extracted all the overcrowding-induced “voluntary” deports they’re gonna get, so now they’re moving out.

Just moments ago, detainees transported from ICE’s Broadview facility this morning were loaded onto an Avelo Airlines plane in Gary, Indiana.

What really fills me with dread is that every instance of this isn't met immediately by an armed crowd chasing off the secret police. For every video of ICE/CBP being confronted, there are more where bystanders just evaporate. That has to change.
ICE GOONS abducted a man while he was out birthday shopping for his daughter. You can hear the child pleading for her father as the masked goons ignore her and stuff him into the back of an unmarked car in San Diego, California.

Thursday morning, if you can make it downtown to the Chicago Federal courthouse, is a rally to demand the release of the daycare worker seized by ICE last week.

Seems to me Democrat politicos are guilty of malpractice for letting judges carry the ball on Trump withholding SNAP and WIC payments w/o making more noise about it themselves. Shouldn't they be gathering with bullhorns at every state capital and city and town's municipal buildings? wapo.st/4hJbRyW
Judge orders Trump administration to release full SNAP benefits by Friday
In his ruling, Judge John McConnell said USDA is causing “irreparable harm” by not releasing full funding: “The evidence shows that people will go hungry.”

![Instagram caption from NPR of their interview with John Fetterman
In his new book, "Unfettered," Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) criticized his party for losing the support of working class men, writing that President Trump appealed to them more because "he wasn't afraid to comment on things the left told us we were no longer allowed to have commonsense opinions on."
Fetterman also writes, “if men are forced to choose between picking their party or keeping their balls, most men are going to choose their balls.”
“I think there's been a disconnection,” he told "All Things Considered" host Scott Detrow. “It's just this idea and just being perceived as more anti-man […] And it's just a lot different kinds of energy that comes out from.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5fkaj7zmtrdz6o4az3vvlxbf/bafkreiadfrhld7ftk53pgpl2aaafm74uz2qivzeudf3nkmykvcx643fl7i@jpeg)

The oil and gas industry has reaped profits without ensuring there will be money to plug and clean up their wells. In Oklahoma, that work could cost more than $7 billion if it falls to the state.
