Terror is the tool of the weakest government imaginable. How many hundreds must be traumatised in the name of...what?

5. Odd. I looked up the standard definition of 'terrorism.'

It's "the calculated use of violence or the threat of violence, often against civilians, to create fear and coerce governments or populations into achieving political, religious, or ideological goals."

Six of one. Half a dozen of the other.

of the worst. This should be played on the walls of every Supreme Court justice who allows this shit. When are judges going to do their jobs ? Republicans have given up their responsibility for anything. Fuck !

10. From what I see, West Loop is an area, that has elementary schools, but none are called "West Loop Elementary school"

Obviously what's happening here is terrifying fascist bullshit wherever it happens, I'm absolutely furious about it

But if one is to spread this story around, they might want to clarify that the name of the school given in the post is inaccurate, and all we know for certain is it happened at "a school". From some of the comments in the bluesky post, it seems likely it happened at a college, not an elementary school pick up line, but again, I'm not sure beyond it was "a school" because it's mentioned in the video.

11. You're right. I'm going to delete the OP until I find further/correct info.

Another post I saw was that the two were pulled over in front of an elementary school, and that they are both in the DACA program.
