@davidsirota the only argument ive seen in favor of schumer and jefferies is essentially "fuck leftists!" and i have to think thats not going to take them very far
🇽🇰- Kosovan media to Israel head coach today in the press conference 🗣️
“Your state is committing a genocide in gaza, killing thousands of children, do you think it’s fair for Israel to play international game”?
@BrettErickson28 iran's only path to victory is getting nukes, israel and the usa will never stop bombing them or make a deal with them (on irans terms)
@21WIRE isn't it funny how we all hate the oligarchy but then when a working class person finds themselves in a position of power we constantly hold their background against them?
@ZachBitango Because the authorities dont evacuate entire cities every time there's a bomb threat, is that actually a serious question? It took them a while before they determined the threat was actually real, and then they evacuated.
@AnomalousMatLab@peoria_police this is a real national security risk they're going to keep as much info hidden as they can, our enemies can learn a lot from this which is why it's so concerning..
@Dav3Shanahan@marklevinshow Why do you people keep telling everyone to move to israel, even though israel is commiting a genocide and stealing palestinians homes and lands? you want there to be even more settlers? wtf is wrong with you. imagine being palestinian seeing your 'allies' talking this way
We can basically end all of the infighting if we go ahead and deal with Zionism in the Democratic Party.
If not, we're going to fight you motherfuckers to the end.
There is a bomb in an ethanol plant in Peoria, IL and this is potentially the biggest story in America. If a bomb(s) exploded an ethanol plant, it could be devastating to the whole surrounding area, which includes a large collection of Caterpillar facilities. Why is this important?
It’s rumored that if the US were to go into a serious war, Caterpillar has contracts with the government that would convert their production facilities to produce wartime needs. There is historical precedent for this, look up Holt and WWI. CATs headquarters used to be in this vicinity but like many Illinois employers they hit the road in the past decade.
🚨Update: PEORIA BOMB THREAT: BioUrja Plant, Peoria, IL
As of early Saturday, Nov 14, the situation at the BioUrja ethanol and alcohol plant at 1 Edmund St. is still active.
What's been reported to us (not confirmed): We've been told an email was sent to the facility around noon Friday. A source who says the information came from local law enforcement told us it read: "Your security sucks, we have placed devices in the facility. The hardest to find is at the following location. The rest you need to find. They are on a timer and you have 12 hrs." We have not been able to independently confirm this email, and officials have not released its contents.
What officials have confirmed:
Peoria Police ordered a 1-mile evacuation around the plant Friday evening. The zone reaches into East Peoria.
Bomb technicians found a device and made it safe at about 10:15 PM ET Friday.
Police Chief Brad Dixon said: "Typically, when a bomb threat comes in, it's not legitimate. This is not the case."
Mayor Rita Ali said: "We don't know if there are other devices."
The FBI is involved and is searching the plant for more devices. There is no all clear yet.
The evacuation is expected to last into Saturday afternoon. I-74 has reopened, but some local roads are still closed.
Shelters are open at Manual Academy and the EastSide Centre.
No one has been arrested, and no suspect or motive has been named.
Peoria Police plan their next update around 1 PM ET Saturday, and East Peoria by 10 AM ET.
Why it matters: the plant can produce about 135 million gallons of fuel, beverage and medical-grade alcohol a year. It stores large amounts of flammable alcohol and natural gasoline on site.

🚨 #UPDATE: Peoria Police Chief Brad Dickson has provided an update on the bomb at BioUrja Renewables, located at 1 Edmund Street, the former ADM plant.
Chief Dickson says the package was determined to be a credible threat. At that point, officials believed the potential blast radius could extend one mile from the facility, prompting the evacuation order.
At approximately 7:02 p.m., emergency notifications were sent out directing everyone within the one-mile blast radius to evacuate.
At approximately 9:12 p.m., bomb technicians successfully rendered the package safe. HOWEVER, the facility itself has NOT yet been cleared.
Authorities do not yet know whether there are additional devices at the location. A thorough search of the facility is expected to take time.
A shelter was established at Manual Academy, located at 811 S. Griswold Street, for people displaced by the evacuation.
IMPORTANT: THE EVACUATION ORDER REMAINS IN EFFECT.
Even though the package has been rendered safe, officials have not cleared the facility or ruled out the possibility of additional devices. Do not return to the evacuation zone until authorities officially lift the order.
My take on the Peoria, IL bomb situation.
As a former Army EOD tech, the response and urgency that is underway is only activated if there is one large device, or multiple devices across a wide area.
My guess is there are multiple devices across a wide area. One has been identified, so they have a baseline of what type of explosives, detonators…etc, they are working with.
If there are multiple devices, hopefully there isn’t a remote relay detonator. If so, very dangerous situation could be ongoing.
Thoughts with the EOD men and women on scene. ✝️
