Just to catch people up. Kat took this post where Biss decries ICE "brutality" & says to not trust what DHS says, & selectively quoted the follow up about wanting more info. A pretty clear lie of omission.

That being said I don’t have faith that they will execute Byler properly given the time we had left. It seems like the writers are prioritizing plot twist over development, which is BAFFLING because they could have had both???

As a lifelong public transportation user and transit nerd, it’s been a week for the books: Gov. Pritzker signed a $1.5 billion transit bill, and I caught one of my favorite Chicago traditions: the CTA holiday train! So proud to have the support of 14,000+ transit workers in Chicagoland (and Santa!)

This post appears to be a swipe at Daniel Biss, who sent out a fundraising email soon after confronting Bovino yesterday
But an email late Wednesday night explicitly says, "Don't worry, this isn't a fundraising email," with a donation link at the bottom
