Pretty sure that when you have giant frogs everywhere, God is very disappointed in how you are treating immigrants.

The media coverage does not reflect this AT ALL.

Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”

we are all sherman

I was on the ground today in Broadview with Senator Durbin to conduct Congressional oversight on ICE’s processing facility.

As elected officials, we have a duty to ensure transparency within federal facilities. What is ICE hiding? Kristi Noem, what are you hiding?

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.

We were just denied entrance to the Broadview ICE facility in Illinois.

WHAT is the Trump Administration hiding?

These guys hogtied a journalist who is probably their mom’s age for nothing.

No one is safe.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

These are being organized in the burbs as well.

Fuck ICE.

They WISH

They are messing with WGN.

They’re not from around here, clearly.

Was just at a neighborhood school at dismissal. Hundreds of people with whistles surrounding the school and stationed down every block making sure ICE doesn’t snatch anyone. The same is happening at all the schools around here. I love my neighborhood and I love Chicago.

This South Side Weekly report on the Chicago building raid is well worth reading. Most striking to me are the indications of collusion between federal authorities and the building owner and management to effect a mass eviction at the blighted property. southsideweekly.com/federal-agen...

This feels super deliberate given the ruling yesterday on journalists.

even the tents want nothing to do with these fascists

JOURNALISM IS NOT A CRIME. BEARING WITNESS IS NOT OBSTRUCTION.

Fuck ICE.

The thing about this that's worth recalling is that it *wouldn't* even offend most Americans: just the group of reactionary grifters who make money by being professionally offended online.

One of my favorite moments from Nobel Prize history:

The Nobel Committee couldn’t reach Stanford professor Paul Milgrom to let him know that he had been awarded the Nobel Prize for Economics, so his fellow winner, Robert Wilson, went over to his house in the middle of the night to wake him up!

This is fantastic.

Appalling: JB Pritzker tells me he hasn't been able to get a single conversation with Kristi Noem or any other top Trump officials to even discuss their Chicago operations. Pritzker just wants a heads up for logistical purposes. Nada.
