During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

“To be honest, I think things are worse now than in 1979,” he says. “Clearly, there was a lot more racial violence then than there is now, but it’s coming back. What’s worse now is that the rhetoric of the extreme far right is not too dissimilar from the rhetoric across the political spectrum.”
