I just answered this. There's an international airport in Chicago. For ICE purposes they consider that a border/port of entry.

If masked #ICE agents can come and abduct your daughters off the street with no accountability and beholden to no one, and local law enforcement does nothing, then what's to say WHAT'S happening to those girls?

Holy fk. I better start seeing people get real about this sht.

I'm sitting here thinking about having a 15 daughter being chased down and abducted by masked men while the local police watch and let them carry her away to god-knows where w/zero accountability

we have to understand that girls are in severe danger of sexual violence from anonymous ICE goons

That's not why. Take it from an Air Force wife.

Protesters aren’t even fighting them. They’re pleading with them to be human and the response is “no we will not.”

Tetris or Animal Crossing helps too. Or knitting or embroidery.

Burn out is real. Self care is critical! You can't water from an empty cup.

Oh boo. I've been marching and protesting and blockcading a and please PLEASE take it from this street medic. You've gotta do something to take yourself out of it. I have a garden, I like to just turn the soil over and pluck the weeks out and ID the butterflies in it.

My friend Stevie White Magpie is a Lakota grandmother who lives in Box Elder, SD. She's been raising her 3 grandkids and last week her daughter died in a car crash, so now she's raising 4. She needs help with food and clothes for them, if anyone is able.

Any thoughts on this?
R&D funds being diverted? Is that even … possible?

Dems floated a narrow bill to fund the military, which can’t move because the House isn’t in session. Meanwhile, DoD is now going to spend funds not appropriated by Congress to ensure military paychecks continue.

POTUS now both commands and provisions the military. Unconstitutional and SO dangerous

The Office of Management and Budget sent a notification to Congress about their intent to use research and development funds to pay members of the military, two sources with direct knowledge tell NBC News.
A spokesperson for the OMB confirmed to NBC
News that it plans to use the research and development funds and that there are two years' worth of funds available within the Department of Defense.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.
