Chicago residents are now following ICE vehicles, honking horns and shouting warnings before raids begin. This is what community defense looks like.

What he not saying is that his friends and cronies invested a fortune in Argentina since their guy Milei won, they stand to lose a big chunk of those fortunes the way things are going, and Argentina’s elections are in two weeks and we are tampering in them to bail Milei out.
