Happening now in Broadview—outside Chicago:
A procession of Illinois Handmaid’s, with the Illinois Democratic Women of Cook County, walks in procession to the ICE detention facility.
“Even though we are silent, we are powerful,” an organizer told the group before starting.

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 clear by now that the Democrats won't press this case as aggressively as it needs to be pressed, and the media won't do that unless they have Democrats' quotes to use as a springboard either.
They won't do this work, so it's even more important that we circulate these stories ourselves.

I really believe that huge majorities of Americans don’t want masked soldiers shooting priests in the street. They don’t want naked children ripped out out of their apartments in the middle of the night and handcuffed. We win by making sure these stories get told.
The same people who insisted devout Catholic Joe Biden was leading a “war on Christianity” are now cheering Trump on as his armed goons assault clergymen.

I basically don't buy meat unless it's on clearance now. A pound of 80/20 is $7. And it's just not a story. Every disaster becomes a natural one when the chuds are in charge.

I've been saying to friends for a few months that the more I study authoritarianism in other countries, the more concerned I become that the CBS story is the sleeping giant here. The process has been a simmer (people inside the network have spoken out in real-time) but don't mistake slow for safe.
One of the first things Vladimir Putin did on becoming president was take over NTV, the TV channel that hosted a satirical puppet show because he didn't like the Putin doll and how he was portrayed. He arrested NTV's owner and only released him when he signed the channel over. #Colbert
