ICE Air’s Sloppy, Dangerous Deportation Flights - The American Prospect

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

An instructor was removed from teaching at Indiana University bc she taught about white supremacy as part of a course on diversity, human rights, and social justice. So much for academic freedom.
Soon enough we won’t be able to teach about evolution.

The six include local political figures & hopefuls, like Dem congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh, Dem commiteeman Michael Rabbitt & Chicago 40th Ward Chief of Staff Cat Sharp.
Ralliers are chanting "we support the Broadview Six;" placards read "defend protest."
Many older folks in the crowd.

Little Aggie having her afternoon siesta. Yes, she is in fact wearing a little shirt - it’s to protect herself from herself following her spay surgery. Rest up, heal up, baby girl. Many adventures await.

Reminder: They're trying to demoralize you, and they're doing a great job of it. Part of resisting is making time for joy despite the attempts to make you feel this is not the time for it. Love your people. Dig the art that speaks to you. Go to the places where life flows into you. You deserve joy.
