This is terrifying!

ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents)

This is Trump’s America.

I love Aurora. The city is vibrant because of the people who are here, and it’s a shameful the people who call it home are being terrorized by these ICE scum.

Self-care is important and it’s not easy having the most militarized country with the most militarized police standing in the way of a better world.

Re: today's march in Chicago at 1 pm at 50 W Washington: I have seen some people posting complaints about this march that don't make sense, and I want to respond. First, some people complain that folks should take action in affected communities. They are. It's called rapid response. (Thread.)
