In this accompanying piece, TRiiBE culture correspondent @romej.thetriibe.com dives into a historic 1938 game where the Chicago Bears took on the Negro All-Stars.
"There’s this progressive element to even schedule the game, but the backdrop is not one of progress.”

This thread explains what non-Kat voters in IL-009 are thinking of when we talk about her not being from here. It's not about her being 1st or 2nd Gen in the US. Or even being born in another state.
Kat Abughazaleh is implying here that subtext of criticism about her not being from the community is because of her being Palestinian-American/“not born here”
There’s no doubt racism/sexism that does exist in this convo, but I will say the concern I’ve heard in #IL09 is very much not that 🧵

I want laws forbidding cops from lying to suspects. PERIOD. No lies about evidence. No fake sweepstakes to lure in people with warrants. Any lies are the poisoned tree and evidence/arrest obtained that way is inadmissable.
ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.
