Ah, yes. The famous border town of Kankakee, Illinois.
"CBP stays at the border" might sound like a win, but keep in mind that this is what "the border" means to them www.aclumaine.org/know-your-ri...

There's a lot of criticism lately on drawing comparisons to the 1930s: "it's not the same" "you're minimizing what happened before" etc. But a big parallel is highlighted in the article below and in this much earlier "Inside the Reich" clip. This part is happening again, and it's only the beginning

Can't stress enough that when the opponent is reeling, you have to keep throwing punches before they can recover; and luckily, because the fistfight analogy only goes so far, we can all keep throwing and throwing and throwing without fear of draining our gas tanks

it's the Blitz all over again, and the Nazis are always surprised when being terrorized doesn't make people give up
The MAGA regime also really obviously doesn't know what to do with the fact that each time ICE murders somebody, the people they're trying to scare merely get more angry and more motivated to fight back.

Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign.
Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE.
Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them.
Every possible angle.

Renee Good and Alex Pretti were the best of us. Compartmentalize. Take time for yourself.
But do not tune out. Do not look away.
Those in the camps during the Shoah didn't give up hope. We shouldn't either. As the great Chicagoan Studs Terkel said, Hope Dies Last.
