Hey @govpritzker.illinois.gov, you need to do something about these ISP goons attacking protesters like @katmabu.bsky.social.
Police escalated the situation here in Broadview incredibly quickly. Saw multiple brutal arrests. ISP jabbing protesters with their batons like battering rams.
Here ISP lifts @katmabu.bsky.social by her feet to flip her over a concrete barrier.

It's incredible how much the speaker of the house doesn't seem to know.
Q: What's your message to the 170 US citizens who have been detained by ICE? About 20 of them are children
MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know what you're talking about with the children. I haven't seen that so I'm not going to comment on it.

If you rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, then bomb fishing boats in the Caribbean, and shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper bullet, you should automatically be barred from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for the rest of your life.

Gov. Pritzker: "[ICE is] just picking up people who are brown and black and then checking their credentials. I don't know about you, but I don't carry around papers that say I'm a U.S. citizen. So U.S. citizens are getting detained and arrested."

It really is staggering to see so many people willing to abandon our 249 year experiment in democracy for an increasingly unstable criminally convicted reality show charlatan.

Installing someone like Bari Weiss as the head of a major news organization isn’t even about profit or longevity. In effect it’s about continuing to shrink the traditional news industry smaller and smaller and weaker and weaker and less and less journalism based until it ceases to exist

ICE is doing a hell of a lot of harm in the Chicago area *right now.* I don’t mean to trivialize the national guard stuff, it absolutely is an irresponsible escalation, but the guard-centric convo around this really does understate what’s going on without any guardsmen.

Hopefully the whole Bari Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tell wealthy people exactly what they want to hear.

Things to consider:
Document the violence & violations--on camera, w/photos, saving images--any way you can. Speaking as a historian- it will matter
Point out violations--w/images & text--even if you think it won't matter. It will. It needs to be called out & exposed
You are a witness.

Roughly 750,000 federal workers are expected to be furloughed, some potentially fired by the Trump administration, during the shutdown. https://to.pbs.org/4mJFqS0
Partial government shutdown begins as nation faces new period of uncertainty
Democrats picked this fight as they demand funding to save health care subsidies that are expiring and sending insurance costs soaring and Republicans have refused to negotiate.

I don’t need a message from Newsom. I came to that conclusion on my own. I suspect most of us did. It was based on listening to what Miller says, watching what he does, and understanding history.

Y'all know Donald Trump has caused nearly 20% of all the government shutdowns in U.S. history in less than five years in office, right?
