@govpritzker.illinois.gov I want you to watch this video of me slammed to the ground- why are you allowing this to happen to people you know are on the right side of history. They tied my hands behind my back and when I asked them to be loosened because I was going numb they said, “STFU.”
at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.
he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.
situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

Poor one out for ol’ TiVO. I still remember my first S2 box in college with its dialup modem to get guide listings, it was ahead of its time in a lot of ways. I was a TiVo customer for years, all the way through the Roamio generation but they just couldn’t keep up.

I remember staging a class sit in 25+ years ago in highschool on Columbus day since we opposed getting a day off to celebrate that monster.
Yes, we actually WENT TO CLASS ON A DAY OFF to protest the holiday and yes I’m that big of a nerd.

The best thing Kimmel could do right now is do what the Right does when it is deplatformed: replatform yourself on another service, go live, and dunk on the administration harder than ABC would ever have allowed him to. Go full South Park on them. Do an hour on Patel lying under oath about Epstein.
