None of you who suddenly feel emboldened to blast your bigotry in everyone’s faces, have presidential immunity. The internet is not anonymous nor inconspicuous. People will find you. If millionaire CEOs face consequences for adultry and stealing hats from kids at baseball games, then so can you.

On September 1, 2025, we lost a true legend. Graham Greene, Oneida from Six Nations Reserve, walked on at the age of 73. Over the span of more than 175 acting credits, he gave us characters that were unforgettable, complex, and real. redpopnews.com/remembering-... #redpopnews

That's your preview of how shit will likely go down when the feds get called in, no matter what Pritzker and Johnson say or do. The average CPD officer will default to shielding federal agents who they see as cop-adjacent, who they feel more instinctive solidarity with than their fellow Chicagoans.
