@govpritzker.illinois.gov I want you to watch this video of me slammed to the ground- why are you allowing this to happen to people you know are on the right side of history. They tied my hands behind my back and when I asked them to be loosened because I was going numb they said, “STFU.”
at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.

he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.

situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

Not a single one in the Chicago apartment raid was charged with a crime, very cool that that was obviously done at the behest of a slum lord

THE FUCK? That's your take on emails that closely tie the worst child rapist of the century to the president of the United States, who is about to pardon or free said rapist's partner?

There is absolutely nothing old or consolidated about *multiracial, pluralistic democracy* in America. It only started 60 years ago.

And the conflict over whether or not it should be allowed to endure and prosper has been the central fault line in U.S. politics ever since.

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

All of the criticism of people like Biden, Pelosi, Schumer etc. has been valid, but let's not forget how much of a quisling piece of trash John Robert is. Presiding over the worst Supreme Court in ~100 years, Roberts has turned SCOTUS into a cudgel, beating democracy to death.

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.
