The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

In Evanston, Illinois, today Trumpedo's storm troopers attacked Americans two blocks from Evanston High School. Everyday it becomes clearer and clearer that these agents were not sent here to quell violence or reduce crime, they were sent here to instigate violence.

A resident who was filming an arrest said: "He was being very violent with her, I said ‘You got to stop that,’ and he said, ‘Step back or I’ll fucking shoot you.‘ I step back, and then I continue to record, at which point he turned around and pointed a gun at me.”

The federal agents here were ordered by a federal judge to display identification in a "conspicuous" place on their uniforms but most have failed to comply. Sun-Times has an article with photographs referenced by WBEZ here: wbez.org - Ice border patrol operation midway blitz ids gregory bovino immigration enforcement chicago arrests detention

In Edison Park, Border Patrol grabbed workers from the front yard of a home then took them behind an office building in Niles and passed them off to a prisoner van. A woman came out and said "you're in the most conservative neighborhood in the city and nobody wants you here."

Cultists who applaud and support these lies that they're only after the worst of the worst, when they're often focusing on legal residents who work, pay taxes, protest, keep appointments with immigration courts sure have a lot in common with some folks who lived in Germany in the 1920s and 30s.

Like the Jason Isbell song says, "Shit's about to get real hard."
