The Texas GOP was probably fine with the Nick Fuentes groyper group bc their biggest billionaire donor shares many of his beliefs.

Important to keep in mind I’m talking about a very specific police force that has 25 officers.

It’s just every day. The tension is here every single day.

On other days, Illinois state police separated the handful of pro ICE protesters that have showed up to Broadview. Not tonight.

The illegal fence in front of ICE is set to come down Tuesday by midnight. Help me stay through Wednesday to cover it!

Currently headed to my third protest of the day, so watch for updates.

I have never in my life seen anything like what is going on between the Broadview police force and ICE. These federal agents just do not give a shit about any kind of back the blue solidarity. Gas, verbal abuse, time wasting.

Outside of the Broadview ICE facility, a state trooper tells the delegation attempting to have communion with detainees that ICE has denied their request.

Senator Dick Durbin is giving a speech at St. Eulalia Catholic Church before a march to the Broadview ICE facility to offer communion to the detainees and the federal agents, organized by the Coalition for Spiritual and Public Leadership.

This is an interesting thing for them to do, bc I wasn't even considering staying in town for DC's No Kings.

If you have any advice for finding this kind of stuff, or if you’re willing to tell me when you see it, I will happily give you my phone number.

As a straight young white man who covers Christian nationalism, I would perhaps have asked Doug Wilson some follow ups on this if it were running it in the NYT as part of his 10K-word defense of Christian nationalism.

For example:

“That really happen?”
“You sure about that??”
“But did it tho?????”

Wilson: No, I grant the point in principle. I don't believe that classical liberalism gets everything wrong. I really don't believe that.
And I enjoyed very much the country I grew up in, and I received many benefits from that era. So that point's granted.

But on the dank right, I believe that the liberal treatment of young white males has been one of the causes for this recoil and eruption. What you had was a toxic combination of a bad economy of young men being told repeatedly that they are the cancer of the planet, that their masculinity is toxic, that their skin is the blight of the world, and their heterosexuality is a hate crime.

If you’re in the Chicago/Broadview area and you have been able to personally verify the hotel ICE is staying at, I would love to chat about that.
