Good morning from the "free speech zone" in front of the ICE facility in Broadview, IL. A federal judge and a team of attorneys are set to visit the facility this morning, per a class action lawsuit alleging poor conditions and inhumane conditions inside.

If Democrats had any sense of self-preservation, they'd threaten Google: "If you enable fascists, once we retake power, we'll target, then break up your company. We'll destroy it."

They can't say anything remotely close to that, however. Short thread.
New: Google has chosen a side in Trump's mass deportation campaign. Google is hosting a CBP facial recognition app to hunt immigrants; no indication Google will remove. At same time Google takes down apps for reporting ICE sightings

If you have ‘dibs’ on something, you claim or declare rights to that thing before anyone else.

‘Dibs’ comes from an old children's game called ‘dibstones,’ which resembled the game of jacks.

I have often said Fox News Channel is a political operation disguised as a cable newschannel. ProPublica's reporting reveals just how far that goes, saying the "network repeatedly provided a misleading picture of what was happening in Portland." https://loom.ly/0MARod4
“Riots Raging”: The Misleading Story Fox News Told About Portland Before Trump Sent Troops
After reviewing coverage from the network and hours of social media videos that preceded Trump’s decision, ProPublica found that Fox’s portrayal of “Portland rioters” routinely instigating violence was misleading.
