Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

I feel like I’ve been saying this very thing and it’s as if I am spitting in the wind - why is this very thing being ignored? Gavin Newsom and Gov. Pritzker have been calling attention to it - but why can’t people call 911? That’s the first thing I would do.

Your daily reminder that Republicans in Congress have gone on vacation while they force thousands of Americans to go without a paycheck this week.

This is exactly how I feel right now. I hate it so much and love my country so much, there is no other option but to participate/ Now is the time for people to show up. We need to put fear (of losing their jobs!) in these public servants. And yes, we are THEIR employers.

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

So they tanked the bill. Make no mistake, Republicans did not care to fix the problem. And now the cruelty is all out for everyone to see. If you support masked men terrorizing immigrants and now making Americans “prove their citizenship” you are morally bankrupt and are against the Constitution.

kellinix 💖 ⭐️ @kellinix.bsky.social · 2d

This is definitely one that a LOT of Americans did not pay attention to before the 2024 election. A bipartisan bill sponsored by one of the most conservative members of Congress was tanked because Trump threatened congressional Rs not to pass the bill (bribed them?) and wanted to run on immigration🧵

Soon it will be show us your papers. This must stop.

A tweet by James Surowiecki replying to David J. Bier. Surowiecki asks, “Where in the Immigration and Nationality Act does it say that US citizens have to prove that they're citizens or else be arrested?” The quoted tweet by Bier reads, “ICE agents to US citizen: Turn around or you're getting the dog,” accompanied by a photo of a man wearing a face mask and standing near vehicles at night.

Imagine making six figures to not do anything you were entrusted to do.

…getting paid to not work while thousands of civil servants around you were getting fired.

…betraying those who counted on you to represent them, all to appease a wannabe dictator.

The GOP Congress is a helluva thing.
