By the mid 1970s the Popes' main membership consisted of many Poles from the Albany Park/Lincoln Square neighborhood, and German, Irish, and Scandinavians in the Portage Park, Jefferson Park, and Mayfair neighborhoods. At their peak in the mid-1960s to early 1970s, they had 300–500 members. In the 1980s, news reports indicated that some members were the children of Chicago Fire Department firefighters and Chicago Police Department officers.

— Trump's proposal to take over Gaza as a Final Solution to the Palestinian question reminds Admin of when Vladimir Zhirinovsky proposed to takeover Nagorno-Karabakh as an Russian enclave to solve the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict
Funny times are ours.
Funny times are ours.
Over 160 nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), trade unions, and civil society organizations, including Human Rights Watch, have called on the European Union to ban trade and business with Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT), including East Jerusalem.
In a letter addressed to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, the groups urged action to comply with international law and to halt Europe’s support for the illegal settlement enterprise and its underlying abuses.
EU member states have repeatedly and unanimously condemned Israel’s settlements in the West Bank as “illegal” and as an “obstacle to peace”. By adopting two rounds of targeted sanctions against Israeli settlers, EU member states have also unanimously acknowledged the seriousness of the abuses against Palestinians in the West Bank.
The illegality of the settlements and the very serious nature of the abuses against Palestinians, including racial segregation and apartheid, have been authoritatively confirmed by the International Court of Justice (ICJ). In a July 2024 landmark ruling, the court said that Israel’s occupation is illegal, that settlements should be dismantled, and that states have the obligation not to recognize or assist the unlawful situation arising from Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory. The court explicitly stated that states have an obligation to prevent and abstain from trade or investment relations “that assist in the maintenance of the illegal situation created by Israel in the OPT”.
In the letter to von der Leyen, NGOs and trade unions highlight how the current EU policies are in breach of those obligations. While settlements’ goods are excluded from the preferential tariffs granted by the EU-Israel Association Agreement, they are not excluded from entering the EU market.

I hope the FBI agents that harassed and ruined the lives of January 6th protestors all lose their jobs.

@PatriotFrontSightings » Patriot Front's protest in Herriman reported on by ABC4. News anchor Jordan Tracy dispenses the usual slander and calls PF's flags host to "nazi symbolism." If such is the case, Tracy's imminent denouncement of the Senate must be expected, as the fasces is also featured on its seal. Local police admit that the protest was peaceful and without illegal activity.
🇺🇸 See what flags PF uses, and why, here.
