Our clients Demetrius Johnson, Ariel Gomez, and William Negron all had settlements approved today. They are the latest (though far from the last) victims framed by disgraced CPD officer Reynaldo Guevara to receive compensation.

The current person in charge of ICE's procurement for detention is a GEO Group executive who ran the company's immigration detention portfolio. He was granted an "ethics waiver" from DHS allowing him to hand out contracts to GEO in his new role.

Video: Jesse Jackson Dies at 84 The Rev. Jesse Jackson, the civil rights leader and impassioned orator, died on Tuesday at 84. He was hospitalized in November for a rare neurodegenerative condition.

Jesse Jackson was 26, the youngest person on that balcony when Dr King’s was murdered.

He spent the rest of his life keeping Dr King’s dream alive.

Thank you Jesse Jackson.

Love to his family and friends. πŸ’”

Israel spraying pesticide (that are banned in the EU) over south Lebanon as part of its ongoing campaign of ecocide. The goal is simple: to make sure that life itself is rendered impossible.

The Wright Museums Instagram page is HILARIOUS. Think The Office but it's the staff at a Museum for Black History. Better believe this is on my list of places to visit.

1/ Federal records show how a dramatic raid in Chicago was facilitated by a landlord who was apparently concerned about immigrants squatting in the building. The government claimed a Venezuelan gang had taken over the apt complex, but that’s not what docs say. 🧡
