I can’t understand the evil that allows genocide

This is important

It is outrageous that he hasn’t been released

Judge Poised to Free Abrego Garcia if Officials Can’t Supply Deportation Plans

The Trump admin has lied about this case from the start — and now it can't get its story straight about next steps for Mr. Abrego Garcia.

This reeks of a political prosecution and the courts must continue to ensure his due process rights are protected.

Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims officer said 'Do something b-----' before shooting Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed.

Covid is not over and the effects of infection are alarming to say the least. I will never understand the decision to stop mitigation and allow Covid to spread unchecked

Kelly Hayes is always worth reading and for those of us not in Chicago, an excellent resource

When Will the Lion Concern Himself Joking memes make light of the uncomfortable reality: everyone's got a little of that post-COVID brain damage these days

Nobody has Long COVID, but everybody has brain fog, cognitive decline and memory loss. I talk about the overwhelming scientific evidence that COVID damages the brain, and the overwhelming social unwillingness to acknowledge it in my latest:

Must-Reads and the War on Chicago "Chicagoans will not be a conquered people."

I have a full day today, but I woke up early to put this edition of my newsletter together because I need you all to have this rundown of what we've been up against this week in Chicago as the federal assault on our city continues. To ignore these developments would be a damning mistake for us all.

As always a must read

Eventually You're Going to Have to Stand for Something On accepting the fascist offer and being better than Ezra.

I wrote about why the regrettable conclusions of Ezra Klein pissed me off so badly in the last couple weeks.

On moral cowardice in an era that calls for clarity, and a popular political instinct to try to solve divisions of abuse by ignoring causes. www.the-reframe.com/eventually-y...

If that’s even true but they got to terrorize people and that was their goal

The videos posted show state police attacking protesters.

Brett Kavanaugh’s Racial Profiling Opinion Is Looking Sillier By the Day Kavanaugh said that immigration agents “promptly” release people after determining that they are legal U.S. residents. They don’t.

Kavanaugh said citizens who are Latino have “no good basis” to think they’ll be racially profiled & “certainly no good basis” to think an unlawful stop is “imminent"

Leo Venegas, a citizen who is Latino, was racially profiled & wrongfully detained 2x in 3 weeks

When you drag a woman by the hair, beat her and force her to kiss your flag, that’s how you tell the world you are the Good Guys

this is wild: while Stephen Miller's guy was in Minnesota for his uncle's funeral, somebody was able to see his entire phone and take pictures of his Signal group chats talking about military deployments to Portland, and brought them to the Strib (gift link: www.startribune.com/trump-offici...)

Federal Agents Handcuff Chicago Alderperson At Hospital ER In another incident caught on video Friday, federal agents inside a car randomly threw tear gas into a Logan Square street while people — including a 2-year-old — were outside nearby.

Federal agents are overtly abusing their power to try to intimidate advocates and elected officials. We need ICE out of Illinois immediately and justice for people like Ald. Jessie Fuentes who are defending their communities.

Why are you allowing state police to attack protesters?

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
Hearing impaired (TTY): 888-261-3336

I called and talked about how the state cops joined ICE in brutalizing protesters today.

A protester with a mobility aid (cane) was sitting in the road. Illinois state troopers dragged them to the grass and arrested them.

Why is Pritzker letting IL state cops help ICE abuse his state??

You know that scene in the Lord of the Rings movie where the Mordor gate opens and a bunch of real cool fun folks file out. I bring that up for no particular reason. #broadview #iceprotest #abolishice #broadviewprotest

Major commotion as IL state cops shove back crowds trying to stop an ICE vehicle. I was grabbed and shoved repeatedly while filming the incident.

ICE just stormed over here and attacked us, even though the state police had us contained. I’m not in good shape.
