It is bizarre the way people with guns, bulletproof vests, riot shields, tanks, and other military gear act like rocks are an equal threat. It’s madness! If you are scared of rocks and think the punishment for having them thrown at you should be death, you shouldn’t be in law enforcement!

ICE is a much greater threat to this country than illegal immigrants. The current administration ia by far the greatest threat this country faces. The problem is not st our borders. It is in the White House.

Those who seek to dominate require their victims to resist (and have their resistance overcome) to complete the drama of their own power. So submission does not actually appease the autocrats: They will make greater and greater demands until they either extract resistance or destroy their target.

Must be said again and again, the police are defunding us. Our schools our parks our trains, literally everything.
Just one month into the year, the city of Chicago already has run through well over half of the $82 million that Mayor Brandon Johnson set aside for 2025 to cover police misconduct settlements and judgments.
Chicago police misconduct payouts have cost city hundreds of millions of dollars — so far
Hundreds of millions of dollars have been paid in cases involving 3 ex-cops: Jon Burge, Reynaldo Guevara and Ronald Watts. And more than 220 lawsuits are still pending. Beleaguered taxpayers might end...
