Federal officers are firing so much tear gas at protesters outside an ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois, that some nearby community members who aren’t even protesting are struggling to breathe when they leave their homes to run errands.

ICE is hounding Chicago area locals with excessive chemical munitions

Agents are firing tear gas and pepper balls on lawful protesters, lawsuits say, sickening even uninvolved residents.

So my blood work came in for my hormone levels. And I’m post menopausal! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’m reading the results in MyChart but I’ll have to wait for the doctor to read and confirm! And if I am post menopausal (jinxing myself) this was way less dramatic and so easy!

Screenshot of a text I sent to a well meaning friend of my brother’s from high school who has never experienced poverty like we did. He hasn’t seen it yet but I had to be blunt with him

I bought us another week to next Friday because Monday is holiday and we are making an effort. I have $350 now. If 220 donated at least $5 I’d meet the actual cost goal for cremation. Thanks btw

The local PD believes ICE called in a fake 911 call about protestors trying to break into ICE facility. Cops only found a CBS news crew shooting B-roll.

Now why would ICE do that?

Here’s the CBS News report about ICE making bogus 911 calls and filing false police reports in Chicago.

A 17 y/o guy ran down two 17
y/o girls in his car, killing them both. The reason he murdered them was because one of them spurned his advances and the other insulted Charlie Kirk. He then laughed about their deaths on a gaming site.

He was NOT arrested. He was ticketed instead.

Someone should do a FOIA request for the raw footage of the videos they took of that Chicago raid and then edited into a fascist ad for ICE.
