Critical to note that this is the Illinois State Police, not ICE or CBP.
The lesson we take away from the past 10 months cannot be “wow, ICE and CBP are uniquely bad.”
To the extent they are worse than regular police, it’s a matter of (slight) degree, nothing fundamental.

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

"60% of the individuals that ICE has taken in Illinois this year have no criminal convictions of any kind.
ICE is running around the Loop, harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the US. Now, ICE is making it commonplace. That’s not making America great.”

In all of this, they haven’t even given an example of what he’s said or done that’s beyond the first amendment (because he hasn’t done anything). He’s just a Rorschach test for what people think about Gaza. Journalists need to push back on this every change they get. There’s a lot at stake here.

In response to Donald Trump freezing support to Ukraine, some allege that he is being hoodwinked by Putin.
On the contrary, Trump intends to ally the United States with Russia and other autocratic governments for the express purpose of promoting tyranny.
This is a global realignment, not an error.

When Russia invaded Ukraine three years ago, it signaled the return of colonial militarism to center stage as capitalism worsens.
Today, worse still, Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are conspiring to form an authoritarian international unifying autocrats against those they oppress and exploit.

This has distinct echoes of media coverage of Bush in 2002-2003, when lots of journos conspired to pretend that the stuff Bush was saying was based in real things, even though any 5 year old could see that there wasn't a shred of legitimacy to any of it
Pretty amazing to read news accounts implying that Trump's claim that he wants to "determine" if Zelensky is serious about peace before resuming aid to Ukraine is an actual intention on his part.

This is literal fascist propaganda. Anyone making this claim is not just wrong. They are actively contributing to the far right ability to walk over this country like Jesus on water.
They don’t actually want to fight to protect the country from fascism they just want to go back to having brunch.

As terrifying as it is my god this shit is so pathetic. Dressing up like you're a space marine to go storm the apartment of some random construction or restaurant worker or any kind of job you can imagine.

But consistently, in my experience, boomers like that man are the ones who consistently say the most ignorant (and self-centered) shit I’ve ever heard. Young people are young. What’s y’all’s excuse?

Folks fantasizing about Biden using expanded powers to harm political bad guys need to process that if he flexes those powers, he will do so in order to harm activists and people living in the margins. Reimagining these people as having completely different MOs than they've always had won't save us.
