A poster that reads "No dejemos que el fascismo consuma nuestras comunidades"

On the one hand, it's very considerate.
On the other hand, I'm unclear if she has used her whiteness or money to support efforts to stop the behavior.

Is this what protecting us looks like to you, @govpritzker.illinois.gov?
Seems like you're letting ISP do ICE's security work for them.
What a fucking shame, to say the least.
It was a touch surreal to be in a theater watching One Battle After Another while receiving live updates about ICE shooting at Chicagoans less than 5 miles away.
I mostly felt guilty for being in a theater and not outside.

Illinois State Police are protecting ICE as they move their vehicles out of the Broadview Detention Center. Call Governor Pritzker now to demand that he remove the ISP from Broadview. No state resources to protect kidnappers. Pritzker: Call off the IL state police 312-814-2121
CALL PRITZKER TO DEMAND HE REMOVE ILLINOIS STATE POLICE FROM BROADVIEW:
(Chicago) 312-814-2121 or 312-814-2122
(Springfield) 217-782-6830 or 217-782-6831

I called and talked about how the state cops joined ICE in brutalizing protesters today.
No, Brian; don't fall for the nice white lady schtick! She's a billionaire needlessly helping prop up Target. She, and those specific donuts, are trash.
(I'll still f around with Stan's, though.)
With Chicago in the ICE crosshairs right now, here are some independent and nonprofit media orgs to read, follow and support.

You can see it differently, as is your gifted prerogative.
It would have been so much more palatable to have heard you say, "This is really harmful and I wonder if he'd be open to changing his mind, but I also understand there are many community needs."
But nah. Your experience
