Someone should start asking why we’re hearing and seeing Stephen Miller so much all of a sudden.

On Parenthood and Genocide A new mother and scholar of forced displacement writes about Israel's mass murder of Palestinian children in Gaza.

This is the 2nd anniversary of the start of a genocide that made Gaza the most dangerous place on earth for childrenβ€” that has raised a mirror to the rot at the core of our world.

Never has it been clearer that none of us are free until Palestine is free.

TONIGHT β€” Just after 8:30pm tonight, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker shared that the Texas National Guard is being deployed to Chicago.

β€œThis evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States.”

"Conservative" is not the word. It's "extremism"--and a host of other words.

But there is nothing conservative about what this regime is doing.

Their project is not conservative, it's regressive.

They don't want to conserve, they want to destroy.

Chaos shouldn’t be the backdrop to a school day. ICE raids, military presence, and federal agents in our neighborhoods are traumatizing students and families. On CNN this week, CTU President Davis Gates explains how educators are stepping up to keep schools safe, but we need real solutions now.

Chicago has journalists. We and others have been documenting ICE attacks on our communities for months. If you're going to parachute in, the least you could do is acknowledge the work already being done here, and demonstrate care for the community being terrorized.

ICE was always detaining Black people.

Black immigrants are some of the most deported

Shelters that house unaccompanied minors are bracing for "Freaky Friday," the start of an ICE operation that will first issue letters to children, seeking to pressure them to return to the countries they've fled in exchange for a cash payment. If they decline, their parents will be targeted by ICE.

They can call it whatever they want, but by setting up a "Unified Command" to handle crowd control at Broadview, the Cook County Sheriffs and the Illinois State Police are performing security work for ICEβ€”something that is not supposed to happen in this state.

ICE agents assault amNewYork reporter at Federal Plaza immigration court; another journalist seriously injured after shove | amNewYork ICE agents assaulted amNewYork's own Dean Moses, and allegedly attacked another journalist, on Tuesday morning as they were documenting the ongoing arrests of

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband.

Today they attacked two journalists.

We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

Re: today's march in Chicago at 1 pm at 50 W Washington: I have seen some people posting complaints about this march that don't make sense, and I want to respond. First, some people complain that folks should take action in affected communities. They are. It's called rapid response. (Thread.)
