“At least 35 people died in ICE custody last year. That is not a failure of training. That is the manufacturing of premature death. And what we want is an end to that violence — however it’s dealt out, however it’s dressed up, however it’s defended.”
Tonight, I was one of more than 200 people who gathered on Chicago’s North Side to mourn Renee Nicole Good. Several people asked me to publish my remarks from the vigil, so I’m sharing them here.

Again, the US president, his government officials, and supporters, are all lying to you about what happened here. This video clearly demonstrates the vehicle was not driving towards the ICE agent.

Q: After you told ICE to get the F out, Republicans are criticizing you for escalating tensions
FREY: I'm sorry if I offered their Disney princess ears, but if we're talking about what's inflammatory, on one hand you got someone who dropped an F bomb & on other you have someone who killed someone

In the cold light of day, I'm still sad. But those kids - and I call them kids because only 6 of them were alive in '93 - played their hearts out. It was a great season. I look forward to seeing the ALCS banner raised at the Dome & our boys get some much-deserved batting and fielding hardware!

A heartbreaking end to an extraordinary season for the Toronto Blue Jays.
It’s been a blast sharing so many incredible moments with you all through this memorable run.
A Game 7 for the ages. The LA Dodgers have done it again.

I admit, after the Dodgers dismantled the Brewers, I thought neither the Jays or Mariners had any hope.
But now I think the Dodgers peaked too early. They were lights out- a week ago. Now? They're sliding down the mountain.
And the Jays? They're just reaching the top. Go birds!

You do not make out 3 at home with the effing franchise player at bat next.
