There are 17 Illinois US Reps in Congress. There should be boots on the ground with security.
They shld be face to face with the ICE thugs, speak to your constituents, and protect them.
Take action. You can post & interview on the corner!!
Same goes for other cities.

My maternal gma literally just died from pancreatic cancer just like D’Angelo and I am a caretaker for multiple relatives so I’m not letting ignorance slide man, gwan.

Black men and women, REGULARLY go get checked and argue doctors DOWN. Get second, third and fourth opinions. You know your body.

That ICE agent detaining the kid doesn't know what's going on either, 'Why were you running?' I guess 'arrest everyone and ask questions later' is #ICE's protocol? #SMH

OMFG! Walgreens, are you going to stop this? Businesses have the right to deny ICE entry.

⚠️ Warning: these back-to-back scenes are hard to watch unless you’ve got a depraved heart.

These are thugs, not officers with any real training. We keep seeing it again and again, and at this point, it’s clearly the op.

This is the D'Angelo performance that I've never forgotten. This song was already a huge hit but the way he took it from contemporary R&B to church revival illustrated how connected those idioms are. A revelation for those who didn't know, and an affirmation for those who did.

“What’s the benefit for 🇺🇸 in sending $20 BILLION to Argentina?”🤔

Trump says he just really likes their philosophy and will only send the $20 Billion if his pal Milei wins.

Imagine not being able to see this blatant corruption for what it is. (While our farmers struggle)

Yeah, I posted abt it. Sad that we lost so much in neosoul this year. D'Wayne Wiggins, Angie Stone, and now D'Angelo 😢

Didn't want this news to be true... D'Angelo was a music genius, and his music will reign throughout humanity.

RIP precious mind.

Deep condolences to his family, especially his young son, who has now lost both parents. I hope love and care are surrounding and consoling.

After the DMX sadness, I'm going to wait on grieving D'Angelo, not one verified source other than select media has this info....yet?
I'm not saying they're wrong. I'm just gonna be mindful

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

Friendly reminder: "I was just following orders" didn't protect those who faced the Nuremberg trials who had once dragged crying women and children from their homes from the consequences of their actions.

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."
