I had a dream last night that 47 died and I got banned from the White House for reporting it before they wanted the news out. So… we’ll see. 😂

Happening now in Broadview—outside Chicago:
A procession of Illinois Handmaid’s, with the Illinois Democratic Women of Cook County, walks in procession to the ICE detention facility.
“Even though we are silent, we are powerful,” an organizer told the group before starting.

ICE is out in full force today, large caravans including Bovino. Teargas and pepper balls already deployed. Windows of protestor cars smashed and protestors taken. Mostly in Little Village, Pilsen, and Oak Park at the moment but they are dispersing further into the neighborhoods. Be aware, be safe.

Hey ⚾️ fans,
If you’re at the game tonight, walk each other to your cars because ICE is in the parking lot.

The Texas national guard arrived in #Chicago today, against both the Illinois government’s wishes and the request of a judge. There’s an emergency protest at 5:30 tomorrow night at Ida B Wells and Michigan. Tell your networks. See you there. (Wear a mask and eye protection.)

NO TROOPS IN CHICAGO. I have no qualms about buying a dozen dipped spicy Italian beefs to throw at people who DO NOT BELONG in my city.

Well, this is a sure-fire way to push away new employees. Get over yourselves, ULINE. I applied there when I was just out of college. Do you know their reason for why I wasn’t hired? I wore OPEN-TOED SHOES and NO NYLONS to the interview. (Yes, they told me.) What absolute dumpsters.
