If you haven't been following Chicago closely, it is hard to really see the breadth of effed-up stuff ICE is doing. We decided that a BuzzFeed-style Top 10 List of effed-up things they've done while in the city would make it easier. #raygun

My dear friends and colleagues - he is not "bucking tradition." Obama's beige suit bucked tradition. And reporting the lies the he tells, like "rampant crime" is irresponsible. Don't repeat lies and misinformation. Reporting responsibly is not bias.

President Trump is bucking tradition and legal precedent in pushing to deploy the National Guard to Democratic-led cities like Portland, Oregon, and Chicago due to what he says is rampant crime and to support his crackdown on illegal immigration.

Trump's power to deploy National Guard, explained

"The public has not risen up, and they likely never will as long as leaders keep telling them all is well and the rule of law is functioning as intended. Leaders must rise up and lead; they must explain to the people who their true enemy is." @elienyc.bsky.social @thenation.com

It's the first Monday in October which means the Supreme Court is back in session. Here's my preview of all the cruelty and evil they will visit upon us this term.

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

This gentleman said that there has NEVER been a time in history when the good guys were zip-tying children.

And he is not wrong.

The ICE agents who did this should be outed and prosecuted as terrorists.
