this is a state sponsored terrorist operation being laid out on an american and every one in ICE needs to be treated as if they are terrorists after trumps regime is over

ICE reportedly opened fire on rapid responders on the southwest side this afternoon.

There are *very few* details on this available at this time. Treat all rumors with caution until verified.

This Sun-Times article cites a DHS statement that should be treated, as always, with extreme skepticism:
Shooting involving federal agents in Brighton Park under investigation
According to the Department of Homeland Security, a woman allegedly "boxed in" federal authorities, who opened fire.

Massive escalation at the ICE facility. Federal agents made multiple arrests (at least 4), threw out gas, and shot tons of pepper balls.

Heard one of the people arrested screaming minutes later. Not possible to get a visual.

The visceral horror of seeing merchandise for a concentration camp at the same stand as shirts that say freedom is just so gut-wrenching

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

One of the most beautiful and powerful poems of queer defiance out there.

Rita Mae Brown wrote "Sappho's Reply" in the aftermath of Stonewall, amid a wave of organizing and confrontation. It's the origin of the rallying cry "An army of lovers shall not fail/cannot lose."

Needed now more than ever
Photo of Rita Mae Brown's "Sappho's Reply" from her 1971 book "The hand that cradles the rock" My voice rings down through thousands of years To coil around your body and give you strength, You who have wept in direct sunlight,, Who have hungered in invisible chains, Tremble to the cadence of my legacy: An army of lovers shall not fail.

The Washington Examiner (the conservative news outlet) reports that Stephen Miller screamed at ICE officials: "What do you mean you're going after criminals? Why aren't you at Home Depot? Why aren't you at 7-Eleven?" Kinda blows up the narrative that they care about public safety.

KCRA: California has officially started using "biological girl" and "biological boy" to refer to cis and trans girls,in order to create a separate competition just for cis girls.

Some of the most elite colleges in the US are making “civility transcripts” part of the admissions process.

Tone-policing as university policy.

www.edweek.org/teaching-lea...
Today, eight selective colleges, including the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Johns Hopkins University, and Vanderbilt University announced they will accept these “civility transcripts” among the factors they weigh in college-admissions decisions. “I don’t want brittle students,” said Jim Nondorf, the vice president for enrollment and student advancement and the dean of college admissions and financial aid for the University of Chicago, one of the colleges that plans to use civility as a consideration during admission decisions. “I want students who can come here and add to the conversation on campus, but do it in the right way.”

"The root cause of the current hostilities stems from the ongoing slaughter of civilians in Gaza. The only path to real de-escalation in the region is a permanent cease-fire in Gaza. ... While U.S. bombs may have stopped for now, the destruction we've caused will affect Yemenis for years."

In a few short weeks, the Supreme Court may very well find in favor of a man who is suing to stop PrEP coverage for millions because he objects to theoretical possibility that someone he employs could one day access PrEP via insurance, and this "encourages and facilitates homosexual behavior."
B. The Present Controversy 1. Respondents are four individuals and two small businesses who object to Congress’s directive that health insurance issuers and group health plans gener- ally must cover preventive services without cost shar- ing. App., infra, 7a. Five of the six respondents “do not currently participate in the health care market.” Id. at 62a; see D. Ct. Doc. 111-1, ¶ 5 (Jan. 6, 2023); D. Ct. Doc. 111-2, ¶¶ 5-6 (Jan. 6, 2023); D. Ct. Doc. 111-3, ¶ 5 (Jan. 6, 2023). Those respondents nonetheless object to the ACA’s requirement that issuers and plans cover preex- posure prophylaxis (PrEP) medications, which the Task Force has assigned an “A” rating based on their effec- tiveness at preventing HIV infection in certain at-risk individuals. See D. Ct. Doc. 14, at 8, 10-11 (July 20, 2020). Those respondents state that PrEP medications “encourage and facilitate homosexual behavior,” which conflicts with their religious beliefs. Id. at 8. 7 Braidwood Management is the only respondent that currently participates in the health insurance market. App., infra, 55a. Braidwood offers coverage to its ap- proximately 70 employees through a self-insured plan. Ibid. Its owner wishes to exclude from that plan “cov- erage of preventive care such as * * * PrEP drugs” because he “objects to coverage of those services on re- ligious grounds.” Ibid. Braidwood does not allege, how- ever, that any of its employees have ever sought cover- age for PrEP medications. 2. Respondents filed this suit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas. As relevant here, respondents contend that the Task Force’s structure violates the Appointments Clause, U.S. Const. Art. II, § 2, Cl. 2, because, in their view, Task Force members are principal officers of the United States who have not been appointed by the Pres- ident with the advice and consent of the Senate. App., infra, 8a. Respondents’ operative complaint seeks in- junctive and declaratory relief but does not seek vaca- tur under Section 706(2) of the Administrative Proce- dure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. 706(2). D. Ct. Doc. 14, at 13- 18. After this suit was filed, the Secretary ratified all Task Force “A” and “B” recommendations then cur- rently in effect. D. Ct. Doc. 65, at 6.

If you support Harry Potter in any way, you are directly funding legal attacks on trans people.

In the aftermath of the 2011 riots then deputy prime minister Nick Clegg was emphatic about heavily punishing all the perpetrators even if they were children.

When it was pointed out as a child he'd committed arson and got a slap on the wrist he got *very* angry.
