Federal agents hurled tear gas at people on a busy Logan Square street, outside a grocery store and near an elementary school.

Reckless, undertrained ICE hires are a danger to everyone. This is terrorism against US citizens.

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband.

Today they attacked two journalists.

We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

Greater Chicagoland Pagan Pride was amazing! Thanks to our wonderful community who collected over 600 lbs of food for the Nourishing Hope pantry. And thanks to the attendees of my class for such a fruitful and nuanced discussion of gender, critical thinking, and sources of authority. #pagan #chicago

It is absolutely insane to me that we're having a debate over whether or not the rightwing deploys violent rhetoric within days of a Fox News personality calling for homeless people to be killed by lethal injection. There is no excuse for this obliviousness. It's unacceptable.

Four of the five politicians who have been assassinated or survived assassination attempts this year have been attacked by current or former Trump supporters.

I don't understand how anyone can argue that political violence is a majority leftist thing.

"Even more dangerous is the backdrop: the Supreme Court’s ruling that presidents are immune from prosecution for “official acts.” Experts warned this would give the commander-in-chief license to commit murder. The majority waved those fears away."

The streets of Chicago are full with tens of thousands of people standing up to ICE and Trump.

Join us.

A hoard of people march in the streets with protest signs. Even in heels, I am too short to properly show the massive scale of the crowd.

Introduce yourselves, everybody! I've gotten a bunch of new followers and followed a bunch of new people, so it feels like it's time.

I'm an animist witch and an author who sometimes thinks my mental health would be a lot better if I didn't know so much about public health and political science.
