ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

"Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia" should be how Democrats begin every single comment to reporters these days.

He was always going to do this. Chicagoans have not rioted, so the administration just lied and said we have. We have not attacked ICE agents, so they just lied and said we did. There was no chaos here, so they created chaotic scenes by attacking people and filmed that shit.

I’m. So. Tired.

I don’t just want you to pay attention to Chicago because I want you to understand our plight. I want you to see how hard people are fighting and know wtf you’re made of. We’re not just fighting for this place. This is for all of us.

If you're in Illinois and facing criminal charges from protesting ICE, or if you were attacked by ICE or law enforcement supporting them, I might be able to represent you pro bono. Email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

It’s a bit odd, in fact, that Dudley is a fat bully. It’s almost like she takes socially vulnerable people and imagines that they are the bullies…..oh wait. It was there all along. And she became a worse person. 2/2

And to speak to your point, when I tried to read HP with my kids, what jumped out at me was the relentless, obsessive fat shaming of the Dursleys. I had to stop reading and tell them that fat people are people…in fact, fat people are more likely to be bullied. 1/2

You have millions. Do you:
A) fund climate change mitigation research
B) fund literacy centers to combat illiteracy
C) spread disinformation about trans people
D) make sure that arts programs in schools in your country of residence never want for funds?

What kind of person chooses c????

I wonder if she was not always so very awful but became so? I believe that no one is beyond redemption, we can all become better people. But that means we can also become *worse* people.

Feds in military gear flood downtown Chicago; top border official says arrests based on 'how they look' The immigration agents were spotted making arrests in downtown Chicago and River North neighborhood early Sunday.

ICE admits it’s doing racial profiling in downtown Chicago: β€œThen obviously the particular characteristics of an individual, how they look, how do they look compare to, say, you?” he said to the reporter, a tall, middle-aged man of Anglo descent.”

This is demonstrably pathetic and a sign of true weakness.

The Feds lack the numbers to do what they want to do. They can hurt, yes, but not at the authoritarian scale that (de facto President) Miller desires.

So they go for the media-bait illusions of power.

Like this.

Profoundly weak flex.

Anyone who votes to end birthright citizenship as it is understood now, in defiance of clear law and the tradition they claim to value?

They are voting to create a permanent underclass of rightness, stateless people in the United States. They are voting to bring back slavery.

We don’t call everyone who disagrees with us a Nazi, JD, just the ones doing Nazi shit like:

-masked secret police kidnapping people off the street
-creating concentration camps
-attempting to eradicate trans people
-banning/burning LGBTQ/opposing viewpoint books
-murdering fishermen in open waters
