I got my 13 year old hooked on If Books Could Kill (thanks Eric Adams episode!). It’s, like, all she listens to as she’s drawing or brushing her teeth. I just told her there’s a new one out and she literally squealed and did a happy dance.

Folks. Remember how during the election he asked for money and he got fully funded in, like, one day? This has to be the 3rd time I’m seeing him ask for money. If we want him to be able to do the work now that he’s elected, we’ve got to keep up the pressure. Donate!

This is some scary shit you guys. Two pillars of the community—middle aged white guys no less—arrested because some off duty cop bastard sitting several booths away in a restaurant claims to have heard them “plotting against law enforcement.” We’re in the “ears everywhere, trust no one” stage of it.

He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

ICE grabs father by the neck—send him into violent seizure while his arms lock up around his toddler.
"He's having seizure and they're trying to rip the baby out of his hands!"
Agents then handcuff him—before putting in ambulance with his child.
Mother is detained by agents as target of arrest.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.
It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.
He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

My last 48 hours involved a missing cat, a massive postering campaign about said cat, a scam text message exchange as a result of said postering campaign, and a consult with a former secret service agent about said scam.
The cat was hiding in a closet next door.

“Dems cannot pretend this is a normal Republican administration. They cannot ignore masked agents in the streets, armed troops in the cities, billions of dollars of money going into the Trump family’s pockets… If Dems cannot make an issue out of all that, then they are screwed and so are we.”

An utterly clarion argument from ace historian that we are in authoritarianism. Not “on the road to,” “flirting with,” “creatively expanding federal power,” or other euphemisms that will continue to be proffered. Only question is how long will we stay there? Will depend on how we act and respond…
