Proud of you, Chicago and Chicagoland. 👊
If you are frustrated that you can't do something because the people who would be affected know their rights, then that really ought to tell you something about yourself.

Don't speak a second language or don't have time, but want to do something for your neighbors who are at risk of deportation? Give your money to the people who have been doing the work for a while. If you're in Chicago I cannot recommend sending funds to OCAD enough. www.organizedcommunities.org

He's already promised violence as president, so if we're going to have violence I would like to have my violence while someone else less inclined to tolerate it is president, thank you
At some point, "We have to keep Trump on the ballot or there will be violence" becomes, "We have to let Trump be president, or there will be violence," and that is, in fact, the point of the violence.
Politico’s Erica Orden, at the courthouse for the conclusion or Trump’s civil fraud trial, says proceedings were delayed this morning due to a bomb threat at Judge Engoron’s home.
