What infuriates me so much about this new operation is that it is literally punishing people for following the rules and showing up to their court hearings. It is so toxic to the basic concept of following the rules.
It is an operation designed by people who hate the concept of the rule of law.

These people were following the law and went to check in with immigration like they are supposed to.
This woman's immigration case was dismissed, which made her immediately undocumented.
So ICE took her into custody.
The air conditioning was off in the back of the truck.

This is an amazing book. Especially if you have Sjogren’s or other complex, chronic diseases. Lots of practical tools and strategies, especially if you are dealing with unreceptive clinicians.

"the state can just summarily imprison someone without filing charges or holding a trial" doesn't just overturn democracy it overturns 1000 years of common law, like throwing out the entire legal system entirely and saying all people in America are the state's property.
They continue to violate a court order to retrieve someone they illegally deported.
We’re now well beyond a constitutional crisis. If they’re allowed to do this, their secret police can sweep up anyone, for any reason, deport them & refuse to bring them back.
That would be the end of democracy.

Tonight, we forced Republicans to take a simple vote:
Can we all agree that billionaire corporations like Amazon and Tesla - who take home over $1 billion in sheer profit a year - shouldn't get another tax handout?
Republicans said no.

DuPage County was an absolute disaster for the GOP last night. Out of the 49 contested races, they lost 48 of them. The only reason there's still GOP officeholders left is because those candidates went uncontested!
All in all, the era of GOP local dominance in DuPage is dead.
