BTW, fantastic movie. The polar opposite of something like Possession and truly needed this soulful film.

Awesome I'll jump into your DMs.

It drives me insane how we've gotten to this point and a lot of it is because of social media providing major lies and MSM just doing the same.

This has been normalized at our peril.

It’s been…. a night.

#CDCFridayNightMassacre

I’m exhausted - physically, emotionally.
To those divisions and branches that were RIFed and that we didn’t yet highlight here, apologies. We need to take a break for the night.

All of your - all of our - work matters.
We are in this together.

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.

I'll only be able to stand watching the US re-edit with the commentary track. What an insane hack job.
