“We all should be ‘really, really freaked out.’ Trump’s power grab over the executive branch is intensifying. Trump is less popular…But it’s as if he doesn’t expect elections to matter because he’s going to do everything he can for them not to matter.”

🚨BREAKING: In a Chicago suburb, a U.S. citizen was observing an adult man in a black ski mask, who she believed was an ICE agent, driving around a HIGH SCHOOL…

…and police pulled HER over.

Not the MASKED MAN driving around the Schaumburg high school…

The officer told her she was being detained for “stalking.”

Even though, when she asked who she was allegedly stalking… the cop admitted he didn’t even know yet, and would “find out in just a moment.”

So, just to clarify…

The cop hadn’t confirmed who the MASKED MAN was.

He hadn’t determined whether he was a federal agent, or why he was driving around a HIGH SCHOOL in a SKI MASK.

But the cop had already decided the woman, OBSERVING THE MASKED MAN, was the problem.

Americans have a First Amendment right to observe what government officials are doing in public.

If this was a federal agent… documenting their activity isn’t a crime.

It’s accountability.

And if it wasn’t a federal agent… most people would expect the police to be concerned about a MASKED MAN driving around a HIGH SCHOOL.

Not the woman observing him.

In a country where school shootings are a real and constant threat to students… that’s the bare minimum our law enforcement should be doing.

But when she asked why a MASK MAN, driving around a HIGH SCHOOL, didn’t concern him, the officer said:

“Everyone wears masks nowadays.”

So, if someone can be detained for peacefully observing, what they reasonably believe is government activity…

While police focus more on the observer than the MASKED MAN around a HIGH SCHOOL…

Then we have some serious questions that need to be asked… @GovPritzker

🚨 Zohran Mamdani announces the launch of 5 city-run grocery stores in NYC.

Experts predict this will significantly increase access to nutritious food in low-income areas.

Pay attention to who is willing to break the law for Trump as we head into the midterms—because his end goal is to create a system where others will break the law for him. It's about building a custom where it's normal to break the law for a person. The big case is the military

“I grieve what their government has become.” Yes.

[Florence @Flore14]

😔 I grew up in reverence of the America that crossed this water.

I’ll always honour these boys without reservation.

Which is precisely why today is complicated.

I grieve what their government has become.

“…Zelensky is a fighter against tyranny, unlike Trump.”

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

An appropriate post from Zelensky on the anniversary of D-Day. Nothing from Trump. Which is appropriate, since Zelensky is a fighter against tyranny, unlike Trump.

[Bill Koester @Billy_dk_89]

So many in Illinois who constantly bitch about taxes/Pritzker/Democrats/Chicago are upset they won’t give taxpayer money to billionaire NFL owners.

So many in Indiana who badmouth Illinois for the same reasons seem pretty jazzed about paying taxes for a new stadium.

Chicago made you. Your family is worth $8 billion-plus. The team generates tens of millions of dollars for ownership every single year.

You should never show your face in Chicago again if you do this.

NEW: The World Cup of Ugh

What was supposed to be a joyful American summer is clouded with angst and dread. High ticket prices. Slumping demand. Travel bans. ICE agents. A war. And so much Trump

Can it be saved? https://t.co/hGbbINtsGH
