Yes, please.

The Democratic stance should be to defund ICE. ICE is doing nothing good for this country. Shut it down.

ICE was established in 2003 in response to 9/11. The country existed just fine without it prior to the Bush era, we will be just fine without it in the future.

Yes, and also insist CBP & ICE off the streets in all US cities and towns.

PSA: We don't want them showing up in Chicago again.

It was also about white supremacy and nativism.

If you haven't watched the Ackerman take down by Curtis Sliwa, it's worth your time.

I'm a constituent and have voted for you for the last several elections.

I wish I could take back my vote.

Americans have been clapping back for some time now. Did you see the Hands Off rallies? What about No Kings?

You probably missed it because the New York Times didn't cover it. But trust me, there is and will continue to be huge push back!

Along with my Indivisible group, I wrote postcards to support the 3 Democratic PA Supreme Court justices.

The carpal tunnel was worth it!

Good lord, just looking at the picture is giving me vertigo.

But the cover art on these books kinda mirrors the stories: whimsical and funny but also a little dark.

Definitely a YA-ish cover design.

Also, a fun and satisfying read - at least "The House in the Cerulean Sea" was.

@maddow.msnbc.com The Chicago event featuring you and Timothy Snyder sold out.

Please consider adding another day to your trip and have an event on Saturday as well.

Hello from American. I can tell you that the UK will not reap any benefits from the Trump trip. He's a con man and completely empty.

Many of his supporters have learned this the hard way.

My best advice to the UK is to rejoin the EU.

Hello - Illinoisan here and a resident of Chicagoland. (I'm in the suburbs.)

Yes, we do know how good our governor is!

Yes, but when you're married to Stephen Miller the bar for "fun" is pretty low.

So very proud to live in Illinois!

Thank-you, Gov. Pritzker for your moral clarity and your courage.

This Illinoisan is so very proud of our governor and yes, Trump officials, remember that accountability will come - maybe sooner than you think.

In Chicago, book lovers do a indie bookstore crawl on Independent Bookstore day.

We go to 15 bookstores and collect "stamps" on our postcards, which give us 10% off books for the next year at our favorite indie store. It's a really fun day!

Good grief, @theatlantic.com could you give it a rest.

I am waiting for the article that says, "Republicans Must Confront Their Autocracy Problem."

Or how about, "When Will Republicans in Congress Grow a Spine?"

The Atlantic needs to figure out why it keeps blaming the party that is trying to save democracy when it could - very legitimately - question the "activities" of the party trying to lead the US into autocratic rule.
