Incredible photo from @chicago.suntimes.com ‘s Anthony Vazquez. Pointing what looks to be a teargas launcher at someone’s head at nearly point blank range is incredibly dangerous. This is why I prefer a ballistic helmet in the field.
Feds ram SUV in chase down residential street in Chicago, then tear-gas crowd
The crash happened late Tuesday morning near 105th Street and Avenue N on Chicago's East Side, resulting in dozens of residents showing up to protest the federal immigration agents.

The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight

Pritzer gets the mechanics of authoritarianism – systemic intimidation, seizing control of elections, etc. – in a way others in national democratic leadership don't or won't say out loud.
Pritzker: "One of the reasons Trump wants to send troops into cities is bc he wants to be able to take control of the 2026 elections...if they've got troops in cities, & it becomes a kind of norm for people, then it won't be abnormal for them when they're going to vote having troops at ballot boxes"

maybe it's important for politicians to say things like this. Maybe it's even important for them to believe it. But imo my reaction is to tell Casten to go fuck himself, and when he's done, fuck himself again, and then after that, [****] himself.

I was lucky enough to be on a podcast with Michael Brooks and hang out with him a bit. Super intelligent, very funny, a great guy. It was a huge loss when he left this world.
Michael Brooks would have turned 42 today. Here he is flawlessly explaining why the Israel Palestine situation is not complicated. Why it's not even asymmetrical warfare, but an occupation.
Rest in peace Michael. You were the best of us.
