God bless these people.
It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.
But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

The arrests of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lundy are unacceptable and a clear violation of the Constitution.
This is a dangerous abuse of power that threatens the rights of every single American.
They must be released immediately.

While the Chicago Tribune Editorial Board interviewed candidates behind closed doors, I was knocking doors.
The Tribune Editorial Board’s endorsement won’t decide this race. Voters will.

This, together with Homan's "in theater" comment today, shows that the federal government believes they are at war.
With the American people. They are levying war on the American people.
That is treason.
Impeachment is what's required by the Constitution. It's the beginning of accountability.

Don't fall for it, Senate Dems.
“An administration official gave away the game to Punchbowl News, admitting that these “de-escalatory measures” are about placating Senate Democrats so they don’t seize this moment to demand restrictions on ICE as part of any government funding package.”

Donald Trump Is Frightened
Trump wants to appear eager to minimize out-of-control clashes between government militias and protesters. But he doesn’t want to stop the things causing those clashes in the first place.

To all who are protesting in the streets and putting your lives and bodies on the line, you are true heroes. You are true patriots. You are brave. You are honored. You are the true face of America. We are a humane, loving people who have been ruled by sociopaths for hundreds of years. Thank you.

Criminalizing protest is a hallmark of repression. This case isn’t isolated. It’s part of a broader effort to silence dissent and erode democracy.
But despite the administration’s best efforts, we’re going to win.

It wasn’t enough for Stephen Miller that these American citizens were murdered by ICE and CBP, he had to slander them with lies after their deaths.
Miller is a deranged, bloodthirsty bigot, and his policies put lives at risk every day he remains in power.
Fire Stephen Miller.

🟣 Finally, don't let participation in protests and rallies be a substitute for other action. It feels great to vent there, but remember who you need to vent *at.* There are 59 days until March 28th, so use every one of those days to call out your rep.
Keep pressure on Congress, who owns this mess.

🟣 There needs to be an actionable message: impeach. 'Resist' and 'No Kings' are nice sentiments, but they are vague. Impeachment is the beginning of accountability & keeps pressure on Congress where it belongs. Trump might hate the visuals of a big rally, but what he *really* fears is impeachment.

Remember: Telling lies that everyone knows are lies is a classic tactic of dictators to force their followers to side with them over the truth itself.
But the public will not be gaslit. We will continue to spread the truth to our communities.
Ignorance is the handmaiden of tyranny.

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the six million Jewish people murdered by the Nazis, as well as countless other victims.
We honor their lives by rejecting the evils of antisemitism, dehumanization, and authoritarian violence wherever they appear.
Never again means never again for anyone.
