Thank you. I don't understand the complete and utter lack of decency or humanity in those who continue to excuse this. You're amazing. Standing up for honesty and humanity in the face of these ignorant, heartless men. Well done.

Loving Yankee Stadium, but the lines for food/drink are ridiculous compared to CBP. 😩 #phillies

Republicans in Congress did this, NYT. Stop reframing their cultish treachery to absolve them from blame.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Our country's problem is "conservative" politics fueled by white supremacy. It denies human rights to our country's citizens AND the immigrants and migrants that come here to make this melting pot on stolen land home. An oligarchy now controls our gov't & our gov't is an authoritarian one. #SCOTUS

Elderly and disabled people told Congress that cutting Medicaid could kill people and in response, they were arrested in their wheelchairs.

What the hell are we doing?

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.

Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

Stephen Miller is fulfilling his high school wet dream of terrorizing all the Brown people in Los Angeles. My daughter's friends who went to SaMo High with him said he used to seethe while the morning announcements were repeated in Spanish. Hell, they did that when I went there. (Mesozoic age.)

SOUTH LOOP ICE Mass Arrests Spark Chaos In South Loop As Activists Fight To Disrupt Operation At least 10 people were arrested at check-ins under an ICE monitoring program for immigrants, and an alderman said he was thrown to the ground by agents while protesting the arrests. By Francia Garcia Hernandez and SebastiΓ‘n Hidalgo 17 hours ago

Reports of the arrests, which quickly spread on social media, prompted activists and alderpeople to arrive on scene at the office building at 2245 S. Michigan Ave. to resist and document the arrests. A chaotic scene unfolded, and Ald. Anthony Quezada (35th)
later said ICE agents pushed him to the ground as the tense scene unfolded.
Quezada told Block Club at least 10 people were detained by immigration agents Wednesday, with the alderman citing community organizers. Quezada said one advocate told him people received text messages informing them to come to the building for "surprise check-ins" as part of the federal Intensive Supervision Appearance Program.

Tensions escalated outside the office building as agents led detainees out to vans. Most agents wore face coverings and some carried long guns. They were seen pushing back some of the alderpeople and residents who assembled to protest, and Quezada later said he was aggressively pushed to the ground by agents.
A child could also be heard asking if his mother was among those being led to the vans as he frantically searched for her.

Masked ICE thugs terrorized Chicago yesterday.

They lied to immigrants waiting for their court hearing by summoning them for β€œsurprise check-ins” and then assaulted protesters and elected officials.

THIS IS WHAT FASCISM LOOKS LIKE.
