@SueInRockville Governor Pritzker:
"...
“Imagine being a child awakened in the middle of the night by a Black Hawk helicopter landing in your neighborhood. Imagine an armed stranger forcibly removing you from your bed, zip-tying your hands, separating you from your family, and detaining you in a dark van for hours,” Pritzker said in a statement blasting the use of military-style tactics on children. “This didn’t happen in a country with an authoritarian regime — it happened here in Chicago.”
..."
Do not let Stephen Miller's & Trump's terror goons provoke violence the regime would abuse to grab total power!

Stephen Miller now sending goons to target judges. SCOTUS: you cool with this? Because, you know, you’re enabling it.

these things are simply true and good:
- trans rights are human rights.
- everyone deserves health care.
- human movement should not be a crime.
it doesn't matter if there are complex philosophical and biological questions about the abstract nature of gender. it doesn't matter if there are complex logistics associated with provisioning healthcare. it doesn't matter if migration patterns can strain infrastructure sometimes. those things tell can you *how* to fight, not whether you *should*
The end result of good guy with a gun myth
On August 27, Kristi Noem’s supporters raided a car wash in Carson, CA and badly broke Bayron Rovidio Marin’s leg. The break was so bad, he has been hospitalized ever since. ICE has been paying private guards to guard him 24/7 since then. Judge Cynthia Valenzuela just ordered ICE to release him from “custody.” -- $400,000: The "Free" Medical Care Kristi Noem's Goons Made Taxpayers Pay - emptywheel https://www.emptywheel.net/2025/10/05/400000-the-free-medical-care-kristi-noems-goons-made-taxpayers-pay/

“When Trump fired the military’s top lawyers the rest saw the writing on the wall, and instead of being a critical firebreak they are now a rubber stamp complicit in this crime.” https://theintercept.com/2025/10/01/trump-venezuela-boat-strike-designated-terror-organization/
