Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.
Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

Just astonishing how much focus there is on planting trees to hopefully create new forests for the future
And all the while the plunder and destruction of our actual, existing forests just carries on worsening
This is horrific news

Sunrise on the lake this morning. I knew I wasn't going to get the boat in the water fast enough to catch this, so I ran around to the other side of the point to see it from the shore.

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

Buried in the polls, with every American screaming for the Epstein files, the walls are closing in on Tangerine Palpatine.
Sending troops to every city you can in a desperate attempt to make martial law happen is not strength. It’s the last gasp of a dying regime.

Trump’s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Let’s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.

Happening now: at Kedzie and 40th, where Border Patrol agents just opened fire on rapid response this afternoon. A woman CFD says they found after the incident is reported in fair condition.
A growing number of outraged neighbors have gathered across from ICE/CBP agents who have closed Kedzie.
