My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

On the other side was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for his help.
"I wasn't planning on letting her stay, but I didn't know what the hell was going on," the man said of his Venezuelan migrant neighbors. But he quickly relented. The little girl was inconsolable and hid under his bed.
"I didn't want them to take her," said the man, who didn't want to be named because he fears he'll be targeted by federal authorities for his actions.
"I gave her my bedroom, and I just told her,
'Just stay there. Don't open, don't, shh, just stay quiet," he recalled telling the mom and daughter as he choked back tears.

That sure seems to be the case, but there's this huge first mover advantage to whoever decides they are brave enough to reach for the brass ring. It has to come eventually.

Oh? I thought she was in hiding. But it's still a humiliating thing to say even if it's true.

Trump: "The person who actually got the Nobel Prize called today, called me, and said 'I'm accepting this in honor of you, because you really deserved it.' A really nice thing to do. I didn't say 'Then give it to me, though.'"

I could almost understand vouchsafing the moral atrocity that Trump is foisting on us if they were getting something for it, but all he's doing is destroying the beating heart of US prosperity. It makes no goddamn sense.

I genuinely don't get it. If Biden had tried to implement a unilateral 100% tariff on China he would have been 25th'd immediately and the cabinet would have been right to do so. But the GOP is just going along with the whole thing. It truly baffles me.
