We really need to stop allowing the fascists to dictate how we talk. They've openly said that even criticizing them is criminal. Anyone who isn't them is a "criminal" in their eyes. They don't believe in due process.
Literally no one deserves to be kidnapped off the street and disappeared

This isn't it. Embracing the police-state rhetoric of people with criminal records as "the worst of the worst," even if only to show the Trump regime's hypocrisy, is not helpful and ultimately abets fascism and a white-supremacist government. One in every three US adults has a criminal record.

I just phoned my rep, @quigley.house.gov , to ask him to vote No today. Not only did his DC office pick up the phone on the second ring, the assistant was polite and assured me that Representative Quigley “would absolutely be voting no” today.

“But there is one thing that I can do all by myself.”
“What is that?” asked Frog.
“I can go home,” said Toad. “Winter may be beautiful, but bed is much better.”

Please click through and read this entire thread. It’s horrifying that this is happening not only in America, but also in our own backyard.
A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Adam’s weekly lectures/virtual tours are always worth while. However, given the absolute horror that ICE is unleashing on Chicago now, the historical connections between ICE and the slave catchers of the mid 1800’s is essential viewing
Tonight’s virtual tour is on the Underground Railroad and the battle against “slave catchers” in Chicago. I don’t normally like to make modern connections to explicit but tonight i will. 8 central, free to watch. www.eventbrite.com/e/virtual-to...

Getting new details on this now:
As the arrest unfolded, teachers pleaded with the agents telling them the teacher had a work permit. The agents went into multiple rooms looking for teachers while children were present. One teacher hid with a child in her care while the agents stormed the facility.

Raids inside day cares had been off limits until this year, when, on his first day in office, President Donald Trump removed that protection.
The arrest reportedly took place in front of children.

Not just a woman, a daycare worker at her job. They had no warrant & reports state that she was legally allowed to work in the US. This is what’s happening in Chicago

“Haven’t gone far enough”. Chicago is the testing ground. They will come for other cities soon. And they will come harder
60 Minutes asked Trump about immigration agents’ actions, including tear gas in Chicago. His answer: “I think they haven't gone far enough because we've been held back by the— by the judges, by the liberal judges that were put in by Biden and by Obama.”

It’s so true. I am on the ACA now & will be on the IL marketplace plan in 2026. Otherwise I would have no insurance because my job doesn’t offer that benefit. Everyone is really one bad health issue away from medical debt already.
Sen. Shaheen: I had a meeting with some constituents last Friday. One was a small business owner who had cancer. He said, 'If I didn't have that insurance through the ACA, I would not have gotten my cancer treated, and I would be dead by now.' That's what this fight is about.

"Are you gonna shoot a pregnant woman?" she cries. "You just put a gun on me!"
"Then he had the balls to say, 'It’s your fault I did that.'"
Video clearly shows her just driving down public street in Berwyn, Illinois.

Outside the Chicago area ICE detention center in Broadview this afternoon, fed caravans are coming and going to drop off captives.
ICE and CBP are kidnapping people all over the city and suburbs today—our new "normal."
As usual, we've seen several vehicles with no license plates enter.
