By “this has got to come to an end” he means opposition to Republicans’ destruction of the country. They seek subjugation.

Mike Johnson: "This hate America rally that they have coming up for October 18? The antifa crowd, the pro-Hamas crowd, and the Marxists, they're all gonna gather on the Mall. It is an outrageous gathering for outrageous purposes ... all this has gotta come to an end."

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.

Look! I'm on a list!

"The list includes Soros' Open Society Foundations; ActBlue, the funding arm of the Democratic Party; Indivisible, a grassroots coalition opposed to Trump policies and the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights, a Los Angeles-based group."

There is a big difference between a ceasefire and a peace deal. A ceasefire usually means that instead of dying today you'll die tomorrow. A peace deal means you have a chance to live

ICE agents in Chicago are making fake phone calls to police, making up security threats in the hope that local police will remove protesters.

Filing a false report is a serious crime. Just because they're Federal agents does NOT make them above the law. Arrest them www.facebook.com/share/v/1CxK...

Let me talk about something non-political for a second.

I never got around to actually watching all the Sopranos. The product placement in this show is CRAZY. Such a good show, with entire scenes dedicated to advertising. Ham handed, too

This is what democracy looks like.

People keep asking "how can we stop Trump?" Pay attention to the people who are actually stopping Trump.

ICE facilities in Massachusetts are under intense pressure from protesters, lawyers, and now local officials. Time for state officials to shut these buildings down. No buildings, no ICE raids

ICE can't find people to fill its ranks as a direct result of the pressure we are putting on them. Report ICE, protest ICE, refuse to back down and they will crumble
