Important to note ICE tends to drop off detainees before 9 a.m. and after 6 p.m., which is why people were protesting at 5 a.m. to begin with. It's not because waking up at 4 a.m. was a convenient time for protesters!

New: Broadview, IL Mayor Katrina Thompson issued an executive order today - her first this year - limiting protest outside the Broadview ICE facility to between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.

The order cites "recent escalation of violence by ICE" at the facility as reason to restrict protest there.

The feds are terrorizing neighborhoods. DHS is a terrorist organization.

Logan Square neighborhood, Chicago. Man wearing a balaclava in a white, unmarked vehicle, pulls the pin on a tear gas canister and tosses it in the road.

Pritzker may have better messaging than 98% of Democrats right now, but he is absolutely not off the hook for allowing his state police to go play Concentration Camp Guard at the Broadview ICE Facility.

“ABC7 spoke to Pertissue Fisher, a woman who lives in the building. She said ICE agents took everyone in the building, including her, and asked questions later….’They was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other.’”

It can’t happen here, you say. But it is happening.

Disbanding ICE and prosecuting everyone who led and worked for it is, in fact, the moderate position.

That and his previous solo efforts have left me a bit flat.

God knows I love Wilco, but a triple album of Jeff's solo material is a very hard sell for me. Reviews are positive enough to where I do have to give it a go.

This is just sort of the normal conservative mindset turned up a bit. All the stupid and hateful things I believe should be treated just as fairly as the informed and thoughtful things others believe
