Folks, we've been reporting for 12hrs and are currently off the ground. Can confirm some community members have gathered in Broadview, where some of the detainees abducted in Chicago today were taken (others are at the ICE Field Office downtown). We can't tell you what to do, can only amplify:

Another word for this is “kidnapping”

One of the things that goes unremarked in these stories is that they rest on relentless armies of fascist goons who will harass and torment ordinary people for years on end, with no recourse for their victims, and that everyone treat as normal. Cops support it. Gamergate is the law.

Barrett sat this one out, but don’t kid yourself. Her past rulings make it crystal clear: next time SCOTUS takes this up, public money will fund religion. The wall between church and state isn’t crumbling, it’s being bulldozed.

Keep today's decision in mind when you next time you hear #SCOTUS MAGA Chief Justice John Roberts complain about how "rule of law is 'endangered.'" 🙄

This is like telling an arsonist to go ahead, that we can figure out if it is legal or not later.

NEWS: The Supreme Court grants Trump’s request to let him fire independent federal officers without cause while their cases are pending—overriding 90 years of precedent. Justice Kagan, joined by Sotomayor & Jackson, warns this “effectively overrules” Humphrey’s Executor.

The Founders created impeachment and removal precisely for this moment. They feared the president could become a lawless tyrant corrupted by foreign powers.

Richard Nixon's presidency-ending crimes were harmless high school pranks by comparison. We are so far past the "this should have immediately led to impeachment & removal" that we can't even see the exit/signs anymore. Barack Obama would have been ousted in days if he tried this authoritarian BS.

🧵 Today's revocation of Harvard's ability to enroll international is awful for many reasons, chief among them the human cost as @jeremywallace.bsky.social notes. It's also an attack on the US economy. But maybe less obvious: it is terrible national security policy. It makes Americans less safe. 1/

This bespoke exception for the Fed is one of the most brazenly made-up things I've ever seen the Supreme Court do (which is saying something). There is no principled basis to distinguish the Fed from other independent agencies. The conservative justices just don't want Trump to crash the market!

BREAKING: The Supreme Court just effectively overruled 90 years of precedent on the shadow docket, greenlighting Trump's firing of multi-member agency leaders while their cases are pending—despite Congress' effort to protect them against removal. A huge decision. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

This was just posted by @tbretc.bsky.social on another platform. The Chicago Sun-Times obviously gets ChatGPT to write a ‘summer reads’ feature almost entirely made up of real authors but completely fake books. What are we coming to?

There was a lot of people on the sails of the Mexican flag ship that crashed into the Brooklyn bridge. It’s pretty difficult to tell from the ground videos but this is a more clear shot. Seems to be performers of an act of some kind. Seriously hope no one was killed.

I’m praying for everyone who was on this ship that crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge this evening. New Yorkers should follow local guidance while our first responders do their jobs.
