local & state electeds want us to believe that their police agencies aren’t supporting ICE / CBP simply bc there isn’t a signed 287(g) but anyone who’s been otg at broadview has witnessed ISP, CCSO, & local PD week after week using physical & chemical violence & force against protesters & media.

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.

Weverse is where it’s most obvious… but whenever Jungkook did that IG story spam and ppl could leave comments on that (which is a feature I hate regardless lol) it was the same nonsense. “Say *insert ship* is real” “pls speak English” and on and on

There have been reports of DHS sources saying they plan to deploy four times as many agents here in March. Whether that's accurate or not, I think we all knew that if they opted out of the deep winter in Chicago, they'd be back after the thaw. We need to synthesize what we've learned and prepare.

It’s an experiment of which products can I cut corners/save and where I absolutely can’t

And the whole “you owe us money but we won’t tell you how much you have to guess based on these confusing instructions and if you mess up we’ll mess up your life” premise is fucked too

I also just saw they deleted the free direct tax file tool… which isn’t nearly the worst thing about all this but it is a nice cherry on top so… yeah. What are we doing here. Genuinely.
