Our decline into authoritarianism is not surprising when you realize that the graph slid down for every conservative admin but stayed flat or only slightly rose for liberal administrations. When you're tumbling off this cliff, remember who pushed you but also who didn't pull you up.

ICE is arresting husbands & wives at their final green card interviews

They’re going to the immigration meeting to complete the final step in the legal process and leaving in handcuffs

One man had to take his crying infant from his wife’s arms as ICE forcibly detained her

This is cruel entrapment

Seems like we gotta watch these Jan. 6 pardonees until we can figure out what’s going on.
Andrew Paul Johnson was arraigned in a Florida court in October on multiple charges, including molesting a child as young as 11 years old.

Johnson dangled the prospect that one of the children could receive money bc...he was entitled to $10 million as part of reparations for his January 6 arrest.

"Despite a Chicago police leader offering to clear a path"

CPD is out here actively trying to help them and they still said fuck it, we just really need to throw this gas or Mr. Bovino won't play rock paper scissors with us tonight
Chicago's Far South Side devolved into chaos when residents confronted Border Patrol agents who rammed a car to make an arrest.

The feds ultimately used tear gas to flee, despite a Chicago police leader offering to clear a path and warning that cops didn't have gas masks.

NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work.

Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours.

She was later released with NO CHARGE.

Anyone else put groceries away in phases?
1. Put away cold stuff. Rest a while.
2. Take all items out of bags and set on counters.
3. Slowly, over several days, put stuff on counters where it belongs.

How does this make us safer?
This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

The demolition is just a symptom. Focus on effective strategies to fight fascism. Support mutual aid. Get involved locally. Find ways you can deny, subvert, and undermine the regime. The demolition may be a perfect metaphor but fighting it and fixating on it is fruitless.

“They literally ushered us into the street to protest and immediately after started beating the shit out of us.”

This is 100% an accurate description of how this started.

Broadview PD mishandled the situation from the start, then unleashed ISP to beat the protesters they’d led into the street.

This version is confirmed, by Hoffman Estates police, puncturing the official DHS statement.

At this point, there is a statement from DHS re 🧊 activities in the Chicago area that’s refuted in similar fashion on nearly a daily basis at a minimum over the past week
Despite what some, including at DHS, are claiming, this video isn’t from a year ago in Chicago. It was Friday in Hoffman Estates, in my district, a street I’ve walked myself. It appears to show a child being violently detained by ICE. It’s real, and I’m demanding accountability.

I love how the big news on Trump’s tariff announcement is how moments before he made it a bunch of people made insanely profitable shorts on crypto, a thing that Bitcoin Bros are all astounded to see happening in a completely unregulated market of a fake currency primarily used by criminals.
