White People Like ICE... Okay get punched then...

 While Pam Bondi was proving White Women can be just as vile, despicable, and evil as White Men there was a young Aura-farming high school student in Lake Zurich attempting to grab his 15 minutes of fame by acting as a provocateur during an Anti-ICE protest.

There have been several Chicagoland area High School student walk-out protests over the blatantly unconstitutional and nascent fascist actions of ICE and CBP from street level agents all the way up the chain of command.

Danny Spud, apparently has over 100,000 followers on Instagram and on TikTok, posted a 47-second video to his social media profiles last Thursday evening.  Being a little shit wannabe influencer he tried to get a rise from every student he recorded with his Meta glasses, until finally a young man took him up on his offer.

While Punch Nazis is a good on-line slogan,
it does have drawbacks.  

"Yeah I'm going to punch you."

"You're going punch me?  You'll get in trouble."

"Okay."

First off, I refuse to take any critique from Republicans or rightwingers about so-called violence in schools when their responses to school shootings are their empty Thoughts & Prayers followed quickly by gun violence in schools is "a fact of life" and "we need to move past it".

Next, what an absolute baby Spud is, after the 2 second altercation he also cries out that swearing is a violation of the school code.  But, having worked in school as an SRO, this simple battery is a juvenile matter which shouldn't result in anything more than a few days suspension and maybe adjudication in a non-criminal hearing resulting in some few hours of community service.

Watching Spud's video it's so pathetically reminiscent of the First Amendment Frauditors who make money via this kind of I'm Not Touching You!  I'm Not Touching You! videos and hoping to get a reaction from confused, frightened, or ignorant people they film and agitate.

Spud's shitass family is probably hoping to see dollar signs their little shit of a son being the next Nick Shirley or Riley Gaines.  You never know what they next rightwing Cause Célèbre will be

Additionally, this dorky pudwack Spud is probably born about 2010 so he's no doubt be raised by shitty bigoted white parents who've inculcated and taught him all manner of racism and hatred.  I also don't doubt as they encouraged his aura-farming Instagram influencer lifestyle, to be as big a snide shit as possible ala Tim Poole, Steven Crowder, Matt Walsh, or any number of the rightwing podcast propagandists who've made money on being pests.  And I'm certain Spud and family were thinking of the abhorrent white people who've done blatantly racist shit and gotten paid for it.  For instance, last year in Minnesota,

Shiloh Hendrix, a white woman based in Rochester, Minnesota, went viral after admitting in a video that she called a five-year-old Black child the N-word while at a local park on 28 April.

Though Hendrix was met with widespread condemnation and denunciation after the incident, she also raised over $750,000 on the crowdfunding website GiveSendGo, commonly used by extremists to fundraise for far-right causes. Many contributors to Hendrix’s campaign, which was created to “protect [Hendrix’s] family” after backlash, used racial slurs and Nazi symbols in their donation names. As of 1 June, more than 30,000 people had donated to Hendrix’s fundraiser. 

Jake High Kickin' Lang

Or earlier this month when Jan6th Terrorist Jake Lang, wearing the stretchiest faux camo leggings, and tightest off-brand dollar store vest kicked over an anti-ICE sculpture and posted a video of himself doing it in order to increase his Nazi brand. 

Predictably, white assholes from across the country have been emailing the Lake Zurich school district with threats and insults.  And the Spuds have supposedly hired a lawyer to try and get this classified a "Hate Crime", and while that prima facie laughable, we are living in the Fascist Trump era when malicious prosecution is seen as a good in and of itself and Republicans have taught generations of their zombie rightwing drones they are being persecuted for their political beliefs.

As always debating the Debate Me Bros is a fundamental losing position because they aren't interested in debate per sé but in advancing the most disingenuous and spurious nonsense in order to get noticed by the wider rightwing audience from which they hope to be the next rightwing grifter, who doesn't know anything, but says outrageous things in bad faith to infuriate the left. 

While I personally don't believe Non-Violence is going to overcome the Trump Regime, the people of Minnesota showed how awful Republicans and their policies are, and resulted in significant wider backlash and a drop in popularity for Trump and their fascist Immigration tactics.  As I mentioned earlier Republicans are all-in on malicious prosecution, recall the DC Sandwich Guy, and every arrest and unlawful use of force in and around Broadview this last fall.

So, as you read about a one-punch school "fight" and the demented rightwing reaction understand what conservatives are supporting and defending in being "Pro-ICE" are concentration camps, abuse, mistreatment, and extrajudicial killings and blatant and willful Constitutional violations; but they do so all in the name of being Pro Law Enforcement.

“It’s like a modern day concentration camp. We’ve got no human rights down here,” Seamus Culleton said. “People are starving, people are sick, people are tired … It’s just hell down here. Hell on earth… I wouldn’t wish it on any human being at all.”  The Irish man has no criminal record and had work authorization and a pending green card application.

Bitcoin Volatility and the Illinois Comptroller Democratic Primary

Sneakers (1992)

   There's a story in the Chicago Tribune about one of the many impressive women running for the Democratic nomination for Illinois Comptroller.  Holly Kim, currently the Lake County Treasurer, created a crypto/token titled CHKN,

    Months before Lake County Treasurer Holly Kim announced her bid for Illinois comptroller, she used about $8,300 in previously contributed campaign funds to invest in a cryptocurrency she founded called CHKN token — a digital asset inspired by her backyard flock of chickens.

By the end of 2025, the investment — totaling roughly 8.87 million tokens — had lost nearly all its value, dropping to just $34.59, according to filings with the Illinois State Board of Elections.  Kim described the investment as a learning experience that reflected her efforts to better understand emerging financial technologies.

“I’m someone who learns things by doing, and this is, you know, entirely why I would have converted crypto into a token, because, you know, it depends what’s popular,” Kim said in an interview late last month with the Tribune about the investment. “But voters can absolutely trust me because I’m trying to stay on top and learn about emerging industries.”

In response to questions about her investment loss, Kim released an Instagram ad about her CHKN token, saying, noting it was “worth less than a penny, and five feathers, with zero scandals,” while surrounded by a flock of chickens.   “Clearly, my flock and I weren’t trying to get rich, but what I was trying to do as a member of the Bank On commission against predatory lending was teach people about crypto,” said Kim, referring to her role on a commission overseen by the Illinois comptroller’s office. “I wanted to make sure I understood the ins and outs so that I could protect people from their scams.”

What Holly Kim did was in no way a "scandal" and I like her explanation that she needs to learn about crypto and scams because there are at anytime tens of thousands of these cryptos bilking people out of their savings.

Last night at about midnight Bitcoin dropped to just a bit over $60,000.  It had reached a high of about $125,000 just this last October.  I see it's rallied a bit, back up to $68K but this is not a stable platform or something that can every backstop a Nation or be a solid store of value.  It's a chaotic financial instrument, literally backed by nothing but Vibes, Word of Mouth, and FOMO.

Now, the Move Fast and Break Things vandals and anarchists who see Chaos as a Ladder love Crypto because of the amount of money they can "make".  And therein lies several problems with their thinking and their plans.  Crypto doesn't make anything, it's a literal energy suck and all the value comes from other peoples' actual money.

Bitcoin and crypto can not and will not deliver on any of their fantastical promises;  it isn't a hedge against the Dollar, it isn't the New Gold, it can't be used if their is a global meltdown (No Survivalist is going to exchange his Bullets, Beans, and Bandages for an electronic token).  And contrary to what Bitcoin Prophets might tell you about its' security and secrecy the US Government has its' hands on hundreds of thousands or more of these tokens. It's not money or currency or any kind of tangible asset what it is, as Ben McKenzie and Jacob Silverman wrote in Easy Money: Cryptocurrency, Casino Capitalism, and the Golden Age of Fraud (2023) is, an unregulated, unlicensed security.  An investment contract where you put real money into them and hope expect to get real money out of them through no work on your own.

A lot of the reactionary police officers I knew became fascinated with Crypto and the quick riches it promised precisely because like all modern rightwingers they look at vast pools of other peoples' money, assets, and resources as something they can loot and strip of value.  I asked several of them if they thought the US or State Governments had any role in reigning in these prima facie fraudulent financial instruments or should protect their citizens from such a blatant Ponzi schemes and each and everyone of them said No.  The Government shouldn't get involved because it was way for them to get money for nothing.

Like all Gangsters, crypto "investors" don't want to work;  "The working man is a sucker", they want Get Rich Quick Schemes and see no problem in bankrupting and impoverishing those less savvy, less astute, or even less mentally capable.  It's a total Caveat Emptor and everyman for himself attitude.

That's the Secret of Crypto, and more broadly the Secret of MAGA, and the Secret of the Rebirth of Global Fascism.  Republicans and right-wingers no longer believe in the future or in building things or in the Social Contract but, are in the loot and pillage era.  Smash and Grab.

Kind of like the turbulent 5th century and The Fall of the Western Roman Empire. 

Here's Eric trump bragging about their American Bitcoin Mining operation using "American energy" on "American soil" as though these are artisanal grapes grown at the headwaters which feed Niagara Falls.  Like the Bitcoin Mining operation which invaded upstate New York, and caused so much noise it overwhelmed the sound of the Falls and stole all the hydroelectric power from the residents.  And from the same Eric Trump who used his Foundation to steal Children's Cancer donations.  Of course, the Traitor trump family is involved in Bitcoin and Crypto in order to steal billions more for themselves in some of the most and least shocking cons involving the President's family.

The next phase of the Bitcoin Ponzi Scheme will be for the Traitor trump Treasury Department to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, drain the US Treasury and gold reserves and transfer that money to trump's cabal.

The 18 U.S. Code § 111 Gambit

Weapons drawn, muzzle pointed at non-violent persons
is prima facie an Aggravated Assault
At this time, it appears the people arrested were doing
nothing other than following the ICE Agents from behind
and not hindering in anyway that someone who speaks
English or can read 18 U.S. Code § 111 could claim 

At some point a coordinated memorandum went out amongst ICE Nazis to threaten people with arrest under  18 U.S. Code § 111.  Now, I know this was directed from Trump administration leadership and lawyers, and was passed down to Bovino and then to field agents and did not rise organically because of the street-level Gestapho weren't using plain speak or layman's terms about interference but kept repeating, You are violating 18 U.S. Code § 111.

ICE Nazis started making this threat last year because they know when faced with an aggressive, emotionally unstable, white man-baby screaming you will be arrested most "Normies" will back off and back down.

Then the unlawful violence from CBP and ICE started, then came the willful and wanton violation of multiple Judges orders and then the murders.  So of course violating the Constitution is not a concern amongst these ICE holes and their reckless criminal behavior shows no sign of abating, 

It was last Tuesday that Drae Solberg found themself pursued by federal agents driving erratically through the northern suburbs of Minneapolis. At least four SUVs carrying agents were riding their bumper and brake-checking them on suburban streets and highways.  

During the pursuit, Solberg told another Immigration and Customs Enforcement observer on a Signal call, “I think they’re trying to run me off the road.”  On a four-lane highway, two federal SUVs got in front of Solberg and another observer, who had been recording agents outside a nearby mobile home park. The SUVs abruptly hit their brakes, stopping traffic in both lanes of the highway.  Then, one of the federal SUVs turned their emergency lights on.  

Solberg’s first impulse was to comply. But when another observer in a car behind saw masked agents with tactical gear pouring out of an SUV, both observers thought of how Alex Pretti and Renee Good were killed by federal agents last month.  

When the emergency lights were turned off, Solberg said they were urged by other volunteers to leave.  ”We realized we could deal with a ticket, we could deal with going to jail at some point” Solberg said. “But we could not deal with the very real risk and high probability of us being injured, us being detained or us being killed.”

Last Sunday, an elderly Minnesota couple leaving church recounted their encounter with ICE Nazis who pointed guns at them, insulted them, exhibited no professionalism, appeared to have no training or understanding of law, violated their ever right and the couple correctly pointed out they acted like the Insurrectionist Thugs who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan6th.

Worthless and emotionally unstable

If it wasn't readily apparent before this last year, everyone should now understand conservatives never believed any of their histrionics about freedom, liberty, natural rights, and the Constitution.  Everything a Republican or rightwinger ever uttered about principles and the Constitution were naught but ashen lies told by crypto Nazis and useful as a rhetorical cudgel to Bash the Left.  Republicans never believed in the ethics, morals, principles, or rights they falsely claimed to cherish and hold so dear.

This has been demonstrated over and over by the ICE/CBP "Officers" rampant, wanton, and willfully violation of nearly every Amendment in the Bill of Rights.  Of course, after each of these crimes committed by CBP or ICE or whomever, rightwingers surge en masse to every message board and platform to spam you must comply or die with "law enforcement" and joyfully celebrate the criminal actions of Trump's Gestapho because no matter what they say; this violence, these killings, these concentration camps, this nascent genocide and ethnic cleansing is what they voted for.

I've lost count of the number of Use of Force Violations committed by masked ICE and CBP Agents.  And we should never forget in both unconstitutional murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti medical assistance was not performed by the murderers and on scene and witnesses with medical training were denied access to attempt life-saving attempts.  A Truth & Reconciliation Committee after this administration is going to have years of work holding these men accountable for these actions.

Right now the Traitor trump administration is playing the classic game of move whatever figure is garnering the most negative attention, at this it's little Benito Greg Bovino, and replace them with a previously toxic asshole whose been cooling his heels; that would be Human Thumb and bribe taker Tom Homan. 

But, don't make the mistake of thinking there will be an change in the behavior, attitude, or tactics of the street-level Nazis, these ICE and CBP agents (even those with several years on) are being given instruction, encouragement, and assurances they can simply act with unchecked aggression, violence, and even murder and the Department of Homeland Security Terrorism, the Treasonous Republican Party, Faux News, and a bevy of paid rightwing propagandists will unequivocally support and defend their actions.

University of Illinois Republicans call for the mass murder of protestors

     Never make the mistake of dismissing Republican rhetoric or fool yourself into believing Republicans don't mean what they say;  Republicans love that Renee Good, Alex Pretti, and others have been killed by Trump's Department of Homeland Injustice and wish those Agents would kill more of Us.

From the Daily Illini;

In a post that included a stylized graphic of a presumed federal officer holding a gun to someone’s head, Illini Republicans stated that they “stand with ICE” amid the killings of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti in Minnesota. 

The RSO referred to Pretti and Good, two United States citizens who were both killed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in the past month, as “traitors.” 

As of Sunday, the group removed the graphic but kept the larger post, which garnered more than a thousand comments on their Instagram account. 

The post continues to state that “it is, has, and always will be the mandate of our brave public servants, domestic and abroad, to fell the enemies of the United States of America.” 

In a written response to questions from The Daily Illini, Illini Republicans declined to comment on whether they were saying Good and Pretti deserved to be killed. (By Aidan Sadovi, Staff Writer •  Feb 1, 2026)

One of the things, barely concealed for decades, has been the rightwing desire to murder millions of people in America.  Internet message boards, Social Media, and news story comment sections have amplified, exacerbated, and accelerated (albeit with the help of bots) the murderous yearning at the heart of the Republican Party.

But, it's been prevalent for far longer and Republicans make little effort to hide their utter disdain and hatred for people and their desire to round-up and liquidate a large portion of people inside and outside the United States.

Look at the fanatical rush to spam every extrajudicial killing by a Police Officer with a massive dense web of lies and misinformation to justify the crime.  And their allies in the Corporate Media rush to put out as many They were No Angel character hit pieces.

These blatant bad faith justifications for murder have increasingly come into play to defend rightwing gunmen, who kill people in non-life or death situations or in situations were the rightwing killer has gone looking for a fight or inserted themselves into a situation in order to kill someone and get away with it.  The biggest recent examples of this, of course, are George Zimmerman and Kyle Rittenhouse.

The Right was so enamored with Rittenhouse they expended years of effort to justify his unlawful use of force, especially standing their ground on his absolute right to bring a firearm wherever he wanted.  

So, when every gun nut and every SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED gun rights' group and 2nd Amendment absolutist Republican and Trump himself declared Alex Pretti should not have brought a gun with him many BlueSky and other social media users were shocked and tried to point out the hypocrisy.  You must understand that absolute hypocrisy, disingenuous arguments, and bald-faced bad faith are the hallmarks of the Republican Party, which is now a fully-fascist Authoritarian organization dedicated to what every fascist group has done throughout history.

The murder of their "enemies", the Unconstitutional brutalization of people taken into custody, and the desire for ICE/CBP to not tone it down but, amp it up is all they can talk about, precisely what they want and demand from the Fascist Trump Government. 

Republicans have declared migrants are breaking the law and rightwingers have thus assured themselves that since "illegal immigrants" have broken the law they are thus subject to whatever level of violence the massive domestic law enforcement apparatus uses against them.  And if you read any news story about the unlawful murder of Alex Pretti (or Renee Good) or Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez in Franklin Park, Illinois, the response from rightwingers will always be one of two things;  Good! He had it coming!  or What about Laken Riley and all the millions of women raped and murdered by Illegals?!?!? 

I wrote years ago, either the Fascist Fever which has overtaken the Republican Party breaks or the Nation does.  Their fevered desire to murder people and remake the Nation into a One-Party rightwing Dictatorship shows no sign of abating.  But, there are two ways a Fever can subside; either on its' own (which is what everyone is hoping will happen once Trump dies) or you can take measures to break it.

Trump's death will do nothing to slow Republican Nazis, and the wait and see approach favored by centrists and urged by Corporate Media collaborators is going to fall flat, when Vance, Miller, and whatever other Nazi currently in charge of the Federal Government continues the policies of the Republicans.  We are going to have to break it, break them, and retake the United States.  If we don't the Republicans will continue their policies of extrajudicial murder both here and abroad and the concentration camps which are already in place and already full of people will become the death camps Republicans yearn to ignite.
