ICE has nothing to fear.
They hide behind masks. They're anonymous, faceless, badgeless. They violate our most basic human rights, disrespect private and government property.
They are protected by the very government that's supposed to protect us.
Our tax money pays their wages.
THIS HAS TO STOP!! 😱

An extremely rough day for Edgewater in Chicago. ICE activity near schools. People kidnapped while working in yards, standing on hiring corners. So many rapid responders biking, walking, driving, whistles around necks, trying to protect their neighbors, but up against such well-funded forces.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

Uh you think so?
And the indicting GJ never heard her testimony.

“Ms. Thompson’s testimony that she has lived in the house rent-free —Ms. James pays even for basic upkeep, — cd make it difficult for prosecutors to convince a jury that the house was meant to be used as a rental investment property.”

Of course Trump got the flu shot and the Covid booster. He’s probably had shingles and pneumonia shots too because he’s old. His followers may hate vaccines, but his doctors don’t. He likes stupid people. It doesn’t mean his doctors are stupid.

Vaccines work.
