Truly amazing that any time the democrats have to bite the bullet and do something that ruins countless lives, there's always *just* enough votes to get it done, but if there is a vote on something that would actually improve people's lives, they are always one vote short. Crazy how that happens.

That's great and all but Blake Mills played on Beachwood Sparks' jangle-country all-timer The Tarnished Gold.
Pino Palladino, legendary bass guitarist, has played on iconic albums from Eric Clapton to D'Angelo. Guitarist & producer Blake Mills has performed with Joni Mitchell, Fiona Apple and Dylan. On their new lp,That Wasn't A Dream, they create something completely unique.

I've always wondered if one reason behind the subsidization of car dependency and the destruction of human-scaled, shared public spaces is that it makes large-scale, disruptive mass protests hard to get together outside a few major cities

Maybe far fetched, but could pedestrianized spaces act as anti-ice spaces? They don’t seem to function without their cars, or in crowds. If you create a car-free space, ice would have a hard time kidnapping people in it.

Important to note ICE tends to drop off detainees before 9 a.m. and after 6 p.m., which is why people were protesting at 5 a.m. to begin with. It's not because waking up at 4 a.m. was a convenient time for protesters!
New: Broadview, IL Mayor Katrina Thompson issued an executive order today - her first this year - limiting protest outside the Broadview ICE facility to between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.
The order cites "recent escalation of violence by ICE" at the facility as reason to restrict protest there.

Pritzker may have better messaging than 98% of Democrats right now, but he is absolutely not off the hook for allowing his state police to go play Concentration Camp Guard at the Broadview ICE Facility.

They zip tied children.
“ABC7 spoke to Pertissue Fisher, a woman who lives in the building. She said ICE agents took everyone in the building, including her, and asked questions later….’They was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other.’”
It can’t happen here, you say. But it is happening.

Disbanding ICE and prosecuting everyone who led and worked for it is, in fact, the moderate position.
