Toxic masculinity is the greatest threat to our survival as a species. It has been for millennia. We are now at another deadly inflection point with it and those that embrace its hate and destruction. It will kill us all. This is not a drill. That’s it. That’s the message. #toxicmasculinity

Note: The pastor being thrown to the ground and arrested here while protesting outside an ICE facility here — who police single out — appears to be Rev. Michael Woolf, a Baptist pastor (he’s ordained by both American Baptist Churches USA and Alliance of Baptists).
at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.
he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.
situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.
