I do think it would be amazing if hundreds of protesters just showed up dressed like ICE. They’d be absolutely baffled, they’d have no way to tell who’s who. They’re all dressed in off-the-rack Cabelas clothes since they don’t seem to have a standard uniform so it’s easy.

I don't think it's going to work out in the way they think because what they are doing is to actually promote the protest and the date in a way that the organizers can't on their own. So lots of people will now be searching: October 18 protest who would have had no clue before.

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old.

There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.

This is why physically blocking their exit from broadview was effective protest and singing behind the fence is not.

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.

A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

The temporary ruling stems from a lawsuit filed this week by news organizations, unions, independent journalists and protesters against the Department of Homeland Security following tense interactions...

I can’t in good faith vote to pass a defense authorization when this President is using our brave men and women in uniform as his personal intimidation tool. My full statement here.

I voted NO on the annual defense policy bill.

Trump is lying about chaos on our streets to deploy the military against our own citizens.

I support our troops always, but I DON'T support a President who says Democratic cities should be used as "training grounds" for the military.

I remember like 10 years ago when fascism was seen by most people for what it is: criminal behavior, and not “political opinions”.

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?
