I have no idea how long the pawn shop (?) sequence was but that piano in the back kept me Locked In.

Every performance is unbelievably good (especially the lawyer and nurse who had maybe three lines each?? You’ll get what I mean).

Also the way PTA ties white supremacy to escalating violence and shows how community-building + solidarity will triumph over both is just… so prescient.

idk why the trailer seemed way more focused on that one pronoun joke (non-derogatory) instead of literally everything else in the film

I will say that the previews do not do it justice. Ben and I have been making fun of the preview for months.

Then our friends insisted we had to see this 2.5 hour movie and holy shit I’m glad they did.

I said what I said: Kristi Noem should be tried at The Hague for crimes against humanity.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

Abughazaleh: I think Kristi Noem should be tried at The Hague. And if the response from ICE to people exercising their first amendment right is to drive vehicles through them, they should not be an agency in the US.

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 β€” including a 2-year-old β€” 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.

Let us in. Hold ICE accountable. Tear down the fence.

This is what we are demanding from the Broadview ICE facility, and nothing less.

Our leaders can decide whether they stand with the people or with ICE. There is no middle ground.

Yesterday, we asked Illinois residents to contact their elected officials to ask them to stand up to ICE and join us for a press conference at Broadview this Friday morning.

Guess what? It’s working.

An alderperson just called me to let me know a constituent emailed her and she will be attending.

ICE agents have been abducting our neighbors, brutalizing protesters, and operating with impunity. Tomorrow I will be speaking alongside other local leaders at 1930 Beach St in Broadview, IL. Tell your elected officials to take a stand alongside us.

Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated' The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

My god.

β€œWatson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”
