🧊✈️ BACK TO THE WAR ZONE ⛓️😲

⚠️ The U.S. government is removing 80 or so Ukrainian refugees back to their war-ravaged country tonight.

We should be sending weapons instead 🇺🇦

The ICE and Nat'l Guard deployments are just the beginning
Trump's upcoming National Security Strategy identifies the "homeland" as its top priority (above even China!) sources who have seen the strategy tell me:

The reason people think the Democratic Party doesn't actually stand for anything is because it doesn't.

It's not even noon yet and feds (specifically Border Patrol and BOP officers in this caravan with Bovino) have fired tear gas, pepper balls, and bean bag rounds at people in Little Village and Cicero.

Little Village (26th Street somewhere around Kedzie)
ICE/Border Patrol fired shots
someone called in a 10-1 in that area for an officer run over by a car, the driver is in (sounds like) FBI custody

This is what 'the mothers will save us all' looks like.
Broadview ICE this morning. A circle of women went into the middle of the street to exercise their free speech rights and were all arrested & zip tied by cops. @resist_and_repeat on instagram many folks here today.

Judge Sara Ellis began with Carl Sandburg’s beloved poem, “Chicago.”

That’s the vision of the city she embraced as she decried the feds’ use of force here that “shocks the conscience,” and extended an order meant to curb it.

Judge blasts Trump’s Chicago border ‘Blitz,’ extends curbs on use of force that ‘shocks the conscience’
Judge Sara Ellis said Trump's Justice Department lacks credibility, partly because of a lie told by U.S. Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino.

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it.

They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

We cannot normalize this! We must show Home Depot what happens when you fail the community
For folks asking if they've made it *inside* a Home Depot yet as the business has clearly just continued letting agents do whatever they want in their lots, the answer is yes. This is from yesterday in Evanston.

My understanding is that Home Depot uses Flock automatic license plate readers #APLR and Flock is known to share data freely with ICE.
@404media.co writes about this.
If you drive to Home Depot, you could be tracked wherever you go if cities also connect their Flock cameras to the national network.

BREAKING: new racist Republican groupchat has been leaked to Politico featuring texts from Paul Ingrassia, Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel.

Ingrassia’s texts include vile pro-Nazi & racist messages targeting Black people, Chinese people, and Indian people.

Mike Johnson: "We're fighting for healthcare as well. Not just in word but in deed. We put in the one big beautiful bill, real reforms to Medicaid to make it work better."

(The bill in fact cuts nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid.)
