A good moment for the courts dragging ICE for trampling the Constitution.
Trump’s Border Patrol thought they could trample Chicago. Judge Sara Ellis proved them wrong. She dragged their commander into court & made the Constitution bite back. This is what democracy looks like when it fights & wins. Read, post, & share it everywhere:

Anyone using that expression should be cattle prodded until merely the urge to repeat it brings nausea.
Organizing and educating against white nationalism, I often heard “This isn’t who we are” from schools and politicians after an incident of obvious bigotry, sometimes after repeated incidents. We are absolutely that country.
Chuck Schumer just told CNN, in the wake of Kimmel’s suspension, that “we are not that country.”
Alas we are, now. Maybe not forever. But now.

Ladybugs needs to swap Krasnov's balls from his mouth & Putin's dick from his ass to something less caloric lest he gain more traitor juice weight on his jiggle juggle jowels.
Sen. Lindsey Graham said in an interview on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that Russia and Ukraine would have to swap some territory to end the war, echoing President Donald Trump‘s comments about land exchanges.
