Caption: does this remind you. of anything. Quoting a news article: During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago's South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. It wasn't the feds - it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.... "I wasn't planning on letting her stay, but I didn't know what the hell was going on," the man said of his Venezuelan migrant neighbors. But he quickly relented. The little girl was inconsolable and hid under his bed. "I didn't want them to take her," said the man, who didn't want to be named because he fears he'll be targeted by federal authorities for his actions. "I gave her my bedroom, and I just told her, 'Just stay there. Don't open, don't, shh, just stay quiet," he recalled telling the mom and daughter as he choked back tears.

Public media is extremely important, especially these days. Boring plain facts are necessary for us to actually know what's happening. Defending democracy means supporting actually free and fair media.

Banning innocuous words from federal agencies sure seems like it follows a fascism playbook.

The federal government started shutting down early Wednesday after Congress failed to approve a funding bill before the beginning of the new fiscal year — resulting in widespread ramifications for hundreds of programs and giving the Trump administration an avenue to fire federal workers en masse.

“This is a dog-and-pony show,” Catherine Turcer, exec director of Common Cause Ohio, said of the process that is unfolding now. “Based on what has happened so far, I have a hard time believing there will be a bipartisan map coming out of all of this.”
