Is it the American people? Can the haunting take place at The Hague?

He’s usually delusional, so at least he’s spot on with this take, but on the other hand, I suppose if he’s not getting into heaven, he might as well burn it all to the ground while he’s alive.

If the helicopter is in West Ridge for the marathon, the lead car took a wrong turn.

It’s like ICE moved to West Ridge and Roger’s Park because the international media is in Pilsen for the marathon today.

Also he’s waging war on the people of his own country?

I don’t think Lulubelle Jones knows where Louisiana is otherwise she’d be outside barking.

Waking up to multiple helicopters circling overhead, I assume it’s ICE attacking our heavily immigrant neighborhood, but it’s just an apartment fire.

A year ago, I did not assume the Executive Branch was waging war on my city, but some people thought eggs were too expensive, so here we are.

It’s always “closer to” instead of - this is authoritarianism.

This is authoritarianism.

We aren’t going to lose our democracy - we’ve lost it.

Bucking tradition is having a dog as your best man in your wedding, deploying the military to intimidate and terrorize your political opponents is authoritarianism.

Why are tear gas canisters and pepper balls necessary to “defend” a building from (checks notes) people yelling stuff and holding signs?

This is not Portland. This is not even from this century. How is this journalism? You are a propaganda tool for the Government and your reporting will get more Americans killed.

Is that the White Hat dude who was kidnapping food delivery people on Wacker in Chicago a few days ago?

Screenshot from The Guardian, headline “anywhere but Washington: How Chicago is resisting Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown” with ICE agents in camouflage, guns and helmets, with their hand on the back of Kat Abughazaleh, a blonde white woman in her 20s, forcing her out of the way.  Kat is protesting ICE at their Broadview center.

I get the idea that Shiny Pete was not particularly persuasive in combatting the impression that he’s a total jagoff.

Anyone else nervous that this is their take while also using the military against US Citizens in American cities? Just Chicagoans, Portlanders, Los Angelenos and Washingtonians? Okay, well… great.

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

“Slave Patrols” and “slave catchers” were groups of heavily armed white men in colonial and early American times who took it upon themselves to “police” enslaved and free black people. Working on bounties, they were known to kidnap free black Americans and sell them into slavery in Southern states.
