No fingerprint or DNA tests were conducted in Jeffrey Epstein's cell after his death. Sus AF.

Should the New York Times be sold to Pennysaver and its editors sent to work in Amazon warehouses? It depends on who you ask.

I know we should celebrate Tony Fitzpatrick for his Chicago art, but I'll always love his portrait of NYC's Flaco

The joke is on Trump. The ethnic cleansing is simply being moved over to the West Bank.

Who in their right mind would believe the Israelis— under Benjamin Netanyahu—about *anything*?

Despite the ongoing horrors, protesters have been met with pretty much non-stop honks of support from drivers and truckers passing by this morning.

This one includes a sheriff's van from Indiana—not uncommon to see sheriff's departments from Indiana and Wisconsin assisting with transport here.

In Broadview, IL this morning outside the Chicago area ICE detention center—

Just rolled up, immediately saw ISP/CCSO arresting a protester w/ a guitar (he appears to be in good spirits over it).

ICE vehicles have been coming and going, including a large bus driven by a masked agent seen earlier.

UPDATE: Judge Perry issued an opinion explaining why she blocked the Texas National Guard deployment in Chicago.

She begins with Alexander Hamilton’s rejection of a “preposterous” idea that the Constitution lets a President deploy a State’s militia to a different State for political retribution. 🧵

OPINION AND ORDER
Since this country was founded, Americans have disagreed about the appropriate division
of power between the federal government and the fifty states that make up our Union. This
tension is a natural result of the system of federalism adopted by our Founders. And yet, not even
the Founding Father most ardently in favor of a strong federal government believed that one
state's militia could be sent to another state for the purposes of political retribution, calling such
a suggestion "inflammatory," and stating "it is impossible to believe that [a President] would employ such preposterous means to accomplish their designs." But Plaintiffs contend that such
an event has come to pass, and argue that National Guard troops from both Illinois and Texas
have been deployed to Illinois because the President of the United States wants to punish state elected officials whose policies are different from his own.

The Virginia Senate just told UVA it’s not getting state funding if it accepts the compact since UVA exists to serve Virginia, its residents, & their interests—not be a tool of the federal govt.

Broadview police chief Mills and ISP were examining some documents last night before targeting one protester in a small, completely non-disruptive crowd for a bag search. Looks like they're brushing up on ~policy~

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.

I’m just tired

Debbie Brockman went to do her job knowing what was possible and still went

But because a lot of people won’t be honest about where this started their asking what is America ?

Rather than

“what am I gonna do about it “
